I think I'll be avoiding Detroit for a few years. Call me a party pooper but, I see more gang control than, Brotherhood of Steel protection.
You will soon be able to play real life verisons of Fallout, Mad Max, and S.T.A.L.K.E.R. in Detroit

First thing that came to my mind. Is that a bad thing?
I thought of it a little too..
Dunno why, it's been ages since I last saw it
Robocop is the first thing that comes to my mind when I hear Detroit too. That and Electric Six.
Wow, just wow. A 25% on time 9th grade pass rate, no wonder the rest of the world think you guys are stupid.
And by the sounds of it, Detroit is to far gone to be saved or - sorry guys - be worth saving. That really, really sucks guys.

Detroit used to be called the Paris of the Midwest... you know, until the racists and Toyota driving asshole yuppies fucked it all up (not to mention our crappy engineers, but you know They fired the auto workers first). You want a good before and after picture Google "Michigan Theater." Beautiful and decadent once, now a parking structure.
Let me sum it up for those of not familiar with why we're a particularly nasty breed of American. We were the murder capitol of the US (world?) 16 times. Our mayor, the one who was a gangster mind you, had the wheels stolen off his Escalade while it was guarded and in a walled in compound. If you are white and stop at a red light in Detroit, the cops tell you to run it and get the fuck out immediately (because it isn't safe or you're obviously buying drugs). The abandoned areas looks like Berlin circa 1945. The night before Halloween is Devil's Night where houses are burned down for giggles. In short, some parts of this country think shooting an animal or a stop sign is "tough." Then there are Detroiters.
Red Dawn is being filmed all over South East Michigan. Transformers is always doing something, they just had a train hanging out of an old factory. Detroit 187 is filmed here, actually walked through their set at school a few weeks back. Another movie was filmed behind my buddy's apartment. Gran Torino was filmed here (and basically is about old school Detroiters and their mentality). We're giving big tax credits to anyone who wants to come here and hire some crew and film stuff. There is tons of shit made here right now. Big whoop, doesn't make and meaningful jobs.
On a quick side note: I have an OCP shirt from Robocop

Yes, but our city administration is absurdly corrupt. Kwame Kilpatrick, our former mayor, just got indicted by the Feds on RICO charges (basically they throw hundreds of charges at you, it is meant to get an arrest on Mafia dons to give you an idea) for extortion, bribes etc. He is also suspected of having a party at the mayoral mansion where there was drug use and a stripper was murdered. Convenient that the evidence of the murder was taken by State Cops who "lost" it all. They also give business contracts to mobbed up companies.SL33TBL1ND said:

I'm gettin' the molotovs, rifles and biscuits, who's bringing the armor, ammo, apple sauce, KFC, and drinks?
Wow, that looks...post-apocalyptic. What the hell happened to Detroit? I mean, how could the downfall of the auto industry alone destroy an entire city like this?
Ah, that makes way more sense.Anarchy In Detroit said:Detroit used to be called the Paris of the Midwest... you know, until the racists and Toyota driving asshole yuppies fucked it all up (not to mention our crappy engineers, but you know They fired the auto workers first).

Boy that would make for some great locations for LARP'ing, if it wasn't for the fact that you would probably be mugged, beaten, raped, stabbed, shot, etc etc.
On the other hand, sounds like it could be a great place to grow some pot...if it wasn't for the fact that your entire grow operation would be picked clean by the lowlifes and you would probably be mugged, beaten, raped, stabbed, shot, etc etc.
I live in Michigan, but I'm glad I don't live in Detroit...and I don't LARP.

They could've avoided that problem entirely if they actually set it in the 80s with the Soviets, that's just pure stupid.Omega500 said:
That's disturbing...ly awesome.
I can picture so many gangs and drug dealers setting up their but hey, also room for some brave (and insane) real life costumed vigilantes, am I right?
Come on people, let's form a super hero team!
