I went there a few months ago with a friend. Totally unimpressed. Don't know if it used to be better or what, but it just felt like an overhyped (and overpriced) tourist trap to me.

If you look at Cortlandt St on the map on the left, I'm currently sitting in the building right above the word Cortlandt. ;-)

LOL. Along those lines:

Thanks!

Thanks!

Huge pile of them here, BTW: http://www.webolutionary.com/truespace/ - that includes all of my WIP images from some time in 98 or 99 through 2005.

That's one of the funniest posts I've read on any forum in years. ROFL. ;-)

Big Brother is watching you, indeed.

I can see one of my favorite gay bars on that map. ;-)

Meh. I found the program more than interesting enough on its own (taught myself PS back in high school in 95/96). The game would just be a distraction.

Same here. Too much trouble to fish my iPhone out of my pocket just to check the time. Besides, I like my D&G and Diesel watches. ;-)

Solution #2: don't have kids. ;-)

I woke up from a dream at while staying at my ex-boyfriend's house in Baltimore one night. I had entire concept for navigating multidimensional hierarchies on a multitouch device in my head - it was like I'd been watching a video of it in my sleep.
