The NES house.
From Carnegie Mellon University's campus carnival 2007.
I read that the cart in the nes was upside down so you could read the label.

That is so cool!

I'd live there

That is really neat, but I just can't help but notice all the inaccuracies of it.

Like the Game Bro?

I'm assuming that was done for copyright or trademark laws or something. I was more referring to the placement of the controller slots, the size of the power/reset buttons, the angles on the bottom part of the NES and it could just be the photo, but the system seems to be white instead of the slight grey the system actually is. And while the NES cart in the front looks great, the ones in the back look half assed. And the Game Bro has a grey screen instead of green.

That is so darned cool. O.O

[Sirgin]

That is great!

Chicago looks dangerous, those skyscrapers are so close to the water.

Miami too.

The arch in Saint Louis is the coolest landmark among all of those pictures.

His picture of Washington D.C. is by far the worst one, but that's because you're not allowed to fly there...right?

I installed a new brush guard on my truck the other day, let me know if you like it.

[Sirgin]

Lol, but what is a "brush guard"?


Your plates are NES_RULES

Now that's cool.

A brush guard is used when off-roading to keep weeds/branches from damaging the vehicle, especially the front to keep the radiator safe.

My plates aren't really NES_Rules, I just did that instead of blurring out the real numbers.

That would be one of the reasons.  The other is the height restrictions in DC.  There is no such thing as a skyscraper in DC, and only the suburbs have anything approaching a tall building.  The tallest you can see from the mall is actually in Virginia, across the Potomac, and is only about 12 stories. 

Some of my pics from DC for illustration:

Taken from the plane approaching Reagen Intl Airport.  (Bad quality because of the dirty plane windows.)

The reason for DC being so... short is because nothing can be taller than Lady Liberty, who stands on top of the Capital Building. The torch is THE highest thing in DC. It's just a tradition that everyone follows. I don't actually think it's a law, but the building counsel 'might' not approve of a building over this height.

A skyscraper falling into water isn't going to be that much worse off than one falling onto land.
