I live in Oakland, so proximity isn't really an issue for me. I mostly just have to figure out a way to be less broke so my friends and I can experience it.

Somehow Khalisah Bint Sinan al-Jilani will be there.

Anyone who bashes LA doesn't know what they're talking about. Moved from there a few months ago. LA is my favorite city for living.

Under the age of 35, that is.

I have ONE friend who will go but she's 1. Not a gamer/ME fan and 2. Not able to go until August! I'm not even sure the ride will exist that long.

If ANYONE from the fandom on the internet is going, they must go with me! I can't tell you how sad it is being the only Bioware fan in a 10 mile radius.

Just think of all the calibrations it will go through if it breaks down

A weekend was too long.

A weekend is enough time to judge an entire city? That's exceptionally childish and myopic.

[ruggly]

I'm interested in visiting that hotel I keep hearing about.

 

I hear once you go, you can never leave.

You go to a restaurant you've never been to before, but the food is lousy and the service poor. Do you keep returning hoping the food and service will eventually improve? Is a bad review unwarranted?

 

Someone on the internet doesn't like your home city. Relax, it's not the end of the world.

LA is worst big city in America not named Detroit. The city layout sucks, the traffic is worse, downtown is filthy, and most of the people you'll meet live up to vapid Hollywood stereotypes.

 

Anyone who visits CA should go to San Diego or San Francisco and avoid LA like the plague. 

Could be worse, IMO. It could be NYC, aka the most generic big city to ever exist.

[Addictress]

I'm just so surprised.

 

Like, all that time I was wishing Bioware would make a Mass Effect film.

 

And all the while they were planning on a 4D theme park ride.  Like "oh but we will give you THIS "

 

Um... thank you? I'm caught between delighted, amused and perplexed.

 

Like when you ask a dog to fetch you a bone back but instead it brings you an old shoe you lost a long time ago. You're really happy they brought back the shoe - you're pleasantly surprised, you found a lost shoe, and also, it might technically be an even better fetch than bringing back the bone. However it's still not what you asked for and the dog still technically failed.

 

I don't know how to feel.

Is that restaurant 500 sq miles and home to millions of people? No? Then your analogy is stupid and your hasty judgment of an entire city and its people is equally stupid.

Like I hope this is a testing venture. If the 4D ride does well, and generates enough interest... perhaps they will consider the Hollywood film. Maybe that is their strategy with all this.

That's QUITE the stretch. What relevant data could possibly be gathered from a ride at an obscure amusement park?

Aw it's not that obscure.

 

It's GREAT AMERICA

 

in CALIFORNIA (the hub of humanity and the vanguard of the zeitgeist)

 

I don't know, if the people setting up the screen and putting the things on the screen pat one another on the back and look at the screen and what they have wrought, they might be like "yah, i like this screen thing, how much farther a stretch would it be to go cinema"

 

And ticket sales. It's a statistical..measure. They can see how many tickets are sold. For this ride.

Stupid is getting bent over some random person on the internet saying your city sucks.

 

Plenty of people hate my home city as well. Who cares? On some days, I might even agree with them.

Why would individual tickets be sold for this ride?

If I'm "bent" it's over stupid people saying stupid things.

Wow. Sick burn, bro. You totally pwn'ed me.

I did visit LA once and honestly it just didn't impress me that much. Too big and too crowded for my tastes, San Diego was fun though (I was there for Comic-Con.)

Oh that's right, it's a park. Attendance clicks then.

[Addictress]

I wouldn't say people are dumb for not getting LA, I've misjudged places myself.

They are simply mistaken and I pity them.

If Los Angeles is too crowded for you then big cities just aren't for you. You would hate places like New York and Hong Kong. Hell, you would probably just die in Tokyo.
As far as big cities go, Los Angeles is not that crowded. There's a ton of traffic, sure, but it's wide open and spacious by big city standards. What many would consider a small starter condo in LA is a forever-home in NYC.

I've lived in Los Angeles for several years but I discover great new things every day. It's like every great city that way.
