RAPTURE- Like an Ayn Rand novel gone horribly logical, Rapture is a massive city beneath the waves where the true makers can create a better life, of course now it's a sinking ship full of tweaked out plasmid junkies and ghostly little sisters but you can see whales from your apartment window.
THE PLUS- It's a nice undersea city with a classic 1940s art deco look
THE MINUS- about everything else!
THE CITY OF TOWNSVILLE- It's a sugary sweet answer to living in Gotham City, with a cute cartoony mayor and it's got superheroes (Except after bedtime). It's low on crime high on cuteness.
THE PLUS- It's a great place to raise your kids
THE MINUS- being laughed at because the biggest threat to your city is a monkey with an odd speach pattern.
DOG RIVER, SESCACHEWAN- It's 40 Km from nowhere, meaning that if you are looking for peaceful, this is it, however you only have once place to go to in town and it's the corner gas station and coffee shop.
THE- PLUS- Low crime rate, and sarcastic neighbors.
THE MINUS- As a town in a sitcom, chances are you will be drawn in to no end of cartoony fiascos.
GOTHAM CITY- A hopping nightlife, cool art deco buildings and plenty of high tech facilities, of course there is also an insane crime rate, and a high chance of getting poisoned by Joker gas, Poison Ivy's Toxins or any one of a thousand other supervillian plots.
THE PLUS- Never a dull moment.
THE MINUS- Really, you need this spelled out for you?
SPRINGFIELD- For Small town living with everything from a comic book store, to a gorge, a dam, a tire fire and more, hell springfield has more stuff in it than most large cities. and its full of character to boot.
THE PLUS- It's got it all, seriously is there anything this town doesn't have?
THE MINUS- It's been domed, blown up, and moved trust me this place is anything but peaceful!
any thoughts, any ones you can think of you would rather live in? Let me know.
I would go with Helium. Mars would be interesting and wouldn't get boring any time soon.
ReplyDeleteHere's a few examples from the fantasy genre:
ReplyDeleteRivendell
+ serenity, eco-friendly architecture, cultural richness
- everyone's leaving for the undyling lands
King's Landing
+ center of religion and commerce, excellent brothels
- political instability
Minas Tirith
+ center of hope and light in an increasingly desparte world, ancient achitecture and Numenorean culture
- instable politicians (Denethor), shadow of Mt Doom, etc
Minas Morgul
+ free rent, quiet
- loss of soul
Well Kevin, looks like I owe you a dollar. :) of course if we are going fantasy Dave, I would have to go with the shire, small boring as hell, but you can't deny a friendly place.
