BEHOLD

The devs are in that building just to the northeast of that marker, in the right-bottom wing of the building. I do like how Google Maps is that bad at marking buildings, though. :P

Is it bad that the map reminds me of how Close Combat 2 looked? I started looking for my infantry..

Guild's not in a good spot to survive the way I use machineguns either. Get em a building, please..

Cmon Miharu, they're within a few hundred feet. I think that's pretty good...

i'd start painting arrows on my rooftop.

Cool, they have a railroad nearby

It is odd that this should be in suggestions...

what about the railroad?

what i find nice is that they have a nice green area just outside. makes for a relaxed work setting on their part of the planet.

provided they can land on it :D :D :D

in any case, it looks as though it's a better view than my office:

Smittens: Google Maps is almost always off by a few hundred feet if you're looking for something that isn't a famous landmark. Hell, even if you put in the Washington Monument it points at the circular road around the monument and not the monument itself (about 50ft off), and if I look for Faneuil Hall in Boston it marks the old fishmarket, not the hall (again, 50-100ft off). I can put in the address for my house and it'll mark several houses down the road. Ask for a house a few hundred feet in the opposite direction and I *might* get my house properly marked.

you're damn lucky. when i entered my home address in google earth, it showed me a location that's about 35kms from my doorsteps.

when i changed "avenue" to "street" in my address, it got closer by about 5kms.

from the 18th floor, you can't make out cleavages.

careful UC, anger leads to hate :P

(besides, what are binoculars for?)

Actually they're on the 4th floor now, if I recall correctly.
They have a nicer view of the Milwaukee County Grounds office park. Yippee.

The view of the county grounds is actually fairly nice. They're tearing up all the land behind us, though, to make some sort of gigantor hotel.

for the next vo convention??
Apr 17, 2007 smittens link
Yeah, but out of the entire world to get that close? Fifteen years ago the closest an average person could get would be to point semi-randomly at a crappy paper map.

google earth has my home right on the roof, you can see my dad mowing the lawn
