Also, so many people in Canada hate Torontonians. I was called a pompous arrogant bitch once by some lady in Montreal because I said I was from Toronto  |
West Coast is definitely different, I'm not sure how well an Easterner would like it out here. Everyone I know who lived in Ontario or further East, and wound up in Vancouver always went back, and everyone who lived in the West and went East never wants to come back.
I personally and looking at Toronto because of the history in the city, which is something Vancouver sorely lacks. Everything is brand new that it makes the city seem almost sterile, like it was grown in a test tube, and the areas of the city that do carry historical significance are in the worst neighbourhoods in the entire country, so there's not much reason to go and visit.
As for why people hate Torontonians, I think it's largely an inferiority complex. Toronto really is the center of the country and therefore people from other places will always feel left out or unappreciated. This is a pretty common thing in B.C., where some people feel like they're not even apart of the country because of our minimal involvement in national politics, but I mean you have to rule by consensus and more people live in Ontario and Quebec than in B.C. and Alberta. I've personally never understood these weird feuding between the cities, seems rather childish, I mean isn't that why we have hockey teams?

It's been awhile since I've played them, I remember in
Under A Killing Moon you'd meet "God" and he'd tell you where you messed up, then send you back to Earth. I kind of liked how they incorporated death into the story, and if you kept dying in a particular area, "God" would get more and more upset with you. Can't remember which game you got lobotomized in though.
