hey no bashing the west coast specifically Seattle. I've been living in Seattle / Redmond area for a good 7 years now and it's wonderful. I love how many game companies are here specifically since I am part of that industry. As for the weather, [i]I love it[/i]. I am about as anti-sun as you can get. Some people get depressed in the winter because of no sun but it actually makes me happier the darker and more rain we get. There is just a sense of peace when its cloudy and dark out and no loud annoying crap is happening outside like other places I have lived. All of the sunshine lovers can go anywhere else in the states if they want. They won't take away my dark rainy cloud in wonderful Seattle =)
