So often, colleges or high school scenes will be filmed at USC. Exotic deserts are actually in San Bernardino, etc.<br /><br /><br />And, of course, there's a relevant Arrested Development scene: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SyPAnfyzdX0Scott Justerhttp://www.experiencepoints.net/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3967694277763110629.post-64766481852096426732012-09-21T17:30:45.180-07:002012-09-21T17:30:45.180-07:00While there have been no games set in Portland, Or...While there have been no games set in Portland, Oregon (that I know of), we do have TV shows that film here (Grimm, Leverage). Grimm, from the episodes i've seen, takes place in Portland and uses real street names and Portland locations. Leverage, on the other hand, takes place in "Boston". Watching Leverage is hard because they can frequently cut to a scene that takes place in Iraq and it takes me out of the experience. I know that's not Iraq; That's 39th Avenue near the Dairy Queen. <br /><br /><br />I understand Sam's gripe about the billboards because seeing things that you know are wrong take you out of the experience and remind you that your playing a game and not actually running away from zombies.TheBookPiratehttp://www.thebookpirate.comnoreply@blogger.com
