waydowntown: looks like a weak version of Office Space, but I like the Vaulty setting

Has anybody seen this?

This is why I want to see it

The big blotch on the bottom right is city hall. Across the +15 to the SW is the arts center, including the Jack Singer Concert Hall, with 1,800 seats, is the largest venue in the building. It is said to be a synthesis of some of the world's finest concert halls (the Musikverein, Vienna, the Symphony Hall, Boston, and the Concertgebouw in Amsterdam). Suspended above the stage is a 185,000-pound laminated spruce-wood acoustical canopy, which can be raised or lowered to tune the hall according to the specific needs of each performer. Named for Jack Singer, the Concert Hall is the permanent home of the Calgary Philharmonic Orchestra, which employs 64 full-time musicians, and the 6,040-pipe Carthy Organ.

Across the +15 to the West of that is the Mariot Hotel and the Glenbow Museum, one of Western Canada's largest museum, with over 93,000 square feet (8,600 mÂ²) of exhibition space in more than 20 galleries, showcasing a selection of the Glenbow's collection of over a million objects including: a cultural history collection, ethnology, military, mineralogy, a substantial Asian collection on semi-permanent loan, an art collection comprising 28,000 works, mainly dating from the 19th century to the present, and a library containing 100,000 books, periodicals, newspapers, maps, and pamphlets with relevance to Western Canada. also the Glenbow archives are one of Canada's largest non-governmental repositories and a major research centre.

Across the +15 to the South of the Glenbow is the Calgary Tower, a 191 meter (627 foot) free standing observation tower. The column of the tower was built from a continual pour of concrete. Pouring began May 15, 1967 and was completed 24 days later. In 1988, a natural gas-fired cauldron at the top was constructed. The flame in it burned throughout the 1988 Winter Olympics, and since then, it has been lit for special events. The flame consumes 850 cubic meters of natural gas every hour.

I love you Wikipedia.

I will put it on my Netflix queue for next week, so it should arrive on Tuesday.
Wednesday at the latest.

I wonder if there are any Counterstrike levels of Plus 15.
Came free with HL2, so what the hell.

It sucks.

Very little wandering of the indoor network where it is supposedly possible to live from birth to death.

It is an office drama with neuroses and sex and some stoned white early twenties guy ruminating about things and hallucinating about superheroes.

Canada is so fucking white.

It is actually somewhat amusing.

But, no.

It provides no foreshadowing of a Vault Future.

thanks for doing the dirty work, Red.

I was afraid it could be like this.

Way to take one for the team!

Yeah... at least there wasn't enough time to get my hopes up. Still, appreciate the heads-up
