CHOPAS - Wat the Heck? (NA Faction)

[Krosis]

I used to live in Minnesota for like 7 months when I was a kid..


in a tiny town called Harris, right next to North Branch.. being from Texas it was awesome actually seeing snow. The people are nice as fuck too, left my car's door open way too much over there.

Where does your gay ass live?

Minneapolis is pretty nice (as far as things to do and pretty women).  I grew up in Brooklyn Park, lots of diversity and different types of people around there.  Anoka/coon rapids area is pretty red neckish in a poor kind of way, some of the burbs to the North and North East that have some money are red neckish, but in a rich way.  Maple Grove/Plymouth and going into the western burbs tend to have some money and the people are somewhat stuck up there and less "worldy" in their perspectives (but they tend to have a lot of hot women that live there).  When I lived in Minnetonka/Hopkins area, I would pick up most of the women I'd fuck around with at Target, believe it or not (I wouldn't go there with that intention but there was always young independent women in the area).

I currently live in the south burbs (Apple Valley area) with my wife.  There's lots of stuff to do around the cities if you're looking for anything to do that would match up with your hobbies. 

I grew up on the Minneapolis side of the city so I tend to be biased, but I think it's a lot better and more to do in Downtown Minneapolis than St Paul.  I honestly don't know why anyone would go out of their way to visit the Twin Cities area as a tourist, but I think it's an amazing place to live.  Lots to do if you're looking for something specific, lots of good looking women (and men), really good standard of living and wages, and we have 4 seasons.  I also like that I can drive 30 minutes and be in the country, and I've always been an avid fishermen so there's plenty of places to fish up north that have really good walleye fishing.  I consider it the best of both worlds (city and country).  Also the Wild have been kicking ass this year lately, so that's been fun to watch.  Going to Wild and Twins games are a lot of fun, they have some nice facilities.  The Vikings are perennial losers, so I'm still a fan (because I was born here, I'm a "homer") but I try not to get too invested in them as they always find a way to lose.

I used to play counter-strike with people that were from the Twin Cities area, but the only other person I personally know outside of cRPG is my bro (TommyHu) who still lives in the NW Burbs.  Mala lives up by Forest Lake (if I recall correctly) so completely on the opposite side from me.  I heard beeper lives in MN too, but no clue where.  I know one or two other guys from MN in cRPG but forgetting who they are right now

tl;dr
pretty sure from what I did read, you're some sort of Minnesota loremaster, or something.

Me, Beeper, Husbey + TommyHu from Hospitaller, Sherben, Tianyuan, Rhalzo + Donny from FIDLGB are who I know live in MN and play cRPG.

@Smoothrich I haven't even hung out with Beeper yet man, haha. You should know that Mankato is pretty shit. If you want the best of Minnesota, it's all about the twin cities and north of Highway 2.

Wow, half on the population of Minnesota that owns computers plays crpg!

[CrazyCracka420]

Yeah mankato is pretty shitty...at least you are right next to New Ulm (where they brew Schell's beer) so you typically can find a lot of Schell's on tap in Mankato...and you got laser tag at the WOW Zone 

It's a college town mixed with rednecks, not nearly as good as being up in the cities, but at least you have a lot of college sluts around there (and lots of bars)

it ain't no Surly..

[CrazyCracka420]

They are completely different styles typically.  I like me some surly (funny to me how it's brewed right in the "ghetto"), it's very hoppy and tasty beer (but ridic expensive).  Schell's is by far my favorite though, they brew old school style beers that have a lot of flavor (and a lot of variety).  No lite bullshit, some "real" beers, my favorite bars to drink at are in New Ulm just because they usually have like a dozen Schell's on tap (including the "Premium" line of beers)

[HarryCrumb]

You live in Mankato and you don't bleed Grain Belt beer?!

[Artyem]

My grandparents live in Mankato, and yes, it's pretty much redneck central.

Which probably explains why they spend 3/4 of the year at their cabin up in Grand Rapids, a much better place to be.

[Rhalzo]

Minnesota best. Even if we just had some rain/snow shit tonight... in April... which is supposed to be Spring... yeah.

[Formaldehyde Junkie]

Bonesaw and I live in the same neighborhood in northeast. Also, last time i talked to Artie, he was living by lake Calhoun.

[Ganner]

Fuck when did this turn into the "I live in a shit state" meetup thread?

[Rhalzo]

Fuck when did this turn into the "I live in a shit state" meetup thread?

Because MN isn't a shit state, we just have shitty bi-polar weather. Did Prince come from your state? Nope. Now why don't you purify yourself in the waters of Lake Minnetonka?

[Malaclypse]

Uhhh. This is relevant I guess.

[Rhalzo]

Uhhh. This is relevant I guess.

I just read that this morning
