Questions in the title really.

Where are you from? No, im not asking for your address or anything. Which country and/or city are you from?

We could map out the TGC user base

I personally am from Newcastle, UK. Home of geordies, and sadly alot of chavs aswell . Nice place when your in the outskirts

Come on then, where are you all from?!

Ive seen there are alot of members from newcastle, perhaps a newcastle meetup at a LAN centre would be fun?

I can arrange with a friend to do something like that.

Suomi, Finland. The home of sauna! Lordi, Nightwish, Poets of the Fall and other good bands. And Remedy!!! I live in Kittilä to be exact. The home of... well... some people...

LANs are fun... but when you don't sleep for straight 24 hours or more, then the next day, when you should be normal, can be frustrating. But that's just one downside. And if someone says that 24 hours is not very long, I have never been in those week long 100 computer lans...

Cambridgeshire, England. But the town I live in is a chav & emo town, so full of a lot of people with a depressing outlook on life. Local legends for me include Oliver Cromwell and John Major. However, the drummer from DragonForce is a local, so there's something a little more exciting.

I was a student in Derby, and I was hoping on finding a job there so I could move, sadly, I couldn't afford to stay long enough.

Glenrothes, Fife, on the east coast of Scotland.

I just moved from my hometown of Kirkcaldy (birthplace of Adam Smith and Gordon Brown) because it's so damn depressing and run down that I can't stand the place these days.

Illinois, USA, the absolutely most politically corrupt and disgusting state I believe to exist in the nation.

The local nuclear power plant has admitted that tritium is in the water supply. So they buy the town's residents water bottles every week because they don't recommend drinking tap water. Because there's tritium in it.

And people wonder why I hate nuclear stuff...

I lived in Texas for three years. The humidity there makes the heat HORRIBLE. You can just be standing, in the shade, in even 75 degrees, and if the humidity level is above 50% or so, you will sweat while DOING NOTHING. When we first got there it felt like we were swimming through the air, the humidity was so bad...

Arizona's a dry heat. And dry heat isn't nearly as bad as humid heat. Therefore Texas is worse off than Arizona.

It depends on where you live in Tejas. It's all pretty hot, but west TX is pretty dry. I just moved from Houston last year.

Before that I was in Marietta, GA (which is pretty much Atlanta). Before that, Akron, OH. I currently live close to Jefferson City, MO, but in a week or two, I'll be in Crystal City.

I move a lot.
