Yeah, there's quite a bit of the gamers stuff around these parts isn't there? I know Sid Meier is in Hunt Valley or that area isn't he?
Also, LARPers around Rockville? you mean like AMTguard or World of Darkness? Because, if there's WoD LARPers, maybe there's just basic RPers too, and then I could find people to be a nerd around.

Yeah, Bethesda Softworks is in (gasp) Bethesda, which is the next area south of Rockville, but it's not that great either. Lots of disgustingly large and expensive houses, but some pretty good restaurants and a good theatre company (Roundhouse). Basically nothing in Montgomery County is that great.. It's approximately 25% each: obscenely large houses (Potomac/Bethesda), suburban sprawl (Germantown/Gaithersburg/Rockville/Silver Spring), places where you shouldn't go alone at night (Wheaton), and cornfields (Poolesville/Damascus). However we have a good school system, despite the rampant drugs, and there is Metro access to DC, and it's still better than Prince George's County.

Yeah, Firaxis, Big Huge, Day One (a sort of side studio), Breakaway (serious games), Zenimax Online (the oblivion MMO). I actually work as a software tester for a company up here that other software companies outsource their testing to. I haven't done any of their stuff, though. Not allowed to talk about the clients we get anyway.

Brownsville, PA. According to Wikipedia:
Brownsville is the ultimate depiction of how the decline of industry and the rise of suburbanization has destroyed the small American downtown. Once thriving, nearly all of Brownsville's many downtown buildings are vacant. Gone are the many mom and pop stores and restaurants of old, excepting Fiddle's Confectionery, which has been in continuous successful operation since the turn of the century. The only notable employer still located within the borough was the Brownsville General Hospital, which recently closed.
Here is the downtown!
Obviously, I do not live there any more. Now I live in Pittsburgh, which I basically enjoy and is a nice place to live. A lot fewer closed store fronts, too.

This is the crappy little town I was born in:
This is even the end of town (downtown, for what it's worth) that I'm from. We have a bridge or two here as well, see?
Three things about the bridge picture: 1) I'm pretty sure they put that park there after a tornado wiped out downtown. 2) The grass is only green like that about two weeks a year. The rest of the year, it's brown as hell. 3) The other side of that bridge is another state.
Like many people, I escaped there, and have since lived much more exciting places such as:
