[OT] Where Do I Go To From Now?

[Michael Morris]

Now, my friends, I have grown weary of Kentucky. I've grown weary of a complete and utter lack of people to game and a complete lack of a social life thrust upon me by my - job. As long as this situation continues, I might as well be dead.

So I've resolved to move away - but to where? I've been considering Columbus, OH, but at this time I'm open to most anywhere.

I'm not adverse to driving a truck, but only regionally such that I have my nights and weekend to myself. That leaves out most small towns. The best case is a "yard jockey" - this is a job driving a small tractor that shuttles trailers from door to door but doesn't actually go anywhere. In other words, a 9 to 5 position like the rest of humanity (or most of it anyway)

So guys, where should I move to - cause I don't want to move somewhere where there is no gaming.

I'd throw out Oswego, NY as a suggestion but I think we may be too small for you. We have a population of, I think, around 20 - 25,000 right now with college in session.

The Atlanta area has lots of different typs of jobs around...thouh I wouldn't know specifics. Its definatly a big place. Lots of gamers around, too.

I, too, have grown weary of Kentucky. Which is why I'm moving to San Diego in May!

Well, you state only one city in your post, so why go anywhere else?

I've been to almost all of them

Columbus is nice cause of Marcon & Origins...
Indy has Gencon
Atlanta has DragonCon

All of those are within 5 hours of my parents in case something happened that I needed to to return to them for any reason.

Well Mike, if you come to Mo'town, I might be able to hook you up for some Dusk games...at least in the sense you run em, we'll play em.

Well..I can't speak for the job situation, cause I've never looked for jobs like that here. But in every other regard, Austin, Texas is a great place to live.

As long as you don't mind hot summers...

Charleston, SC isn't to bad. got some gamers and the port would probably provide the work your looking for.

DC Metro

I can't comment as to the availability of any particular kind of job, here. But I can say that the DC Metro area has an ENORMOUS gaming community. Really, from about Richmond, VA to Baltimore, MD you can hardly spit without hitting a gamer. Add in the large number of high-population universities in the area, and you have a large concentration of nerdery in our nation's capital.



Good Luck.
