Small city of roughly 100,000 people that borders Los Angeles on the western side. People seem to think that Santa Monica is this bohemian paradise of a town, but, in fact, it's loaded with yuppies who take all the fun out of it. Many commonly traversed areas smell of urine, and there are homeless people everywhere. Parking is atrocious, the place is crowded as hell, and there isn't much to do except spend money, and go to the beach. Santa Monica is very overrated.

Place on the western side of Los Angeles that tries way too hard to be cool, hip, in, etc. In reality, Santa Monica consists of yuppies and young professionals. Santa Monica's coolness is declining sharply as other areas in and around Los Angeles are becoming more hip.
Good luck trying to get parking in Santa Monica, beware of the urine smell that engulfes popular areas, watch out for trash on the beach, and give money to the droves homeless people.

Place on the western side of Los Angeles, where a bunch of rich, snobby white people live. It has a lame security service called "Palisades Patrol." Residents are often conservative republicans and don't know that anything east of Sepulveda even exists. There is nothing to do there.

A place filled with retired folks, who come to restaurants every night at 5 PM. It's also timeshare heaven for other Southern California residents.

A video game console released on September 9th, 1999, or "9/9/99." The system ushered in the 128-bit age, with impressive graphics and online capabilities out of the box via a 56k modem.
The system was a huge hit among hardcore gamers and Sega Fanatics. Yet, in 2001, Sega pulled the plug on the system, and consoles were no longer manufactured. Many reasons exist for why the system failed -- no support of certain "critical" publishers, prior failure of the Sega Saturn, the ease with which games could be pirated, and the hype of the looming PS2. During its two year lifespan, over 250 games were released in the U.S. market, and many were hugely successful.
Whatever the reason for its demise, the system lived a life too short, but will always be remembered fondly in the hearts of serious gamers for excellent titles such as Soul Calibur, Sonic Adventure, Power Stone, Shenmue, and Crazy Taxi, just to name a few. We miss you, Dreamcast.

Hey man, I just got a Dreamcast.
Oh yeah, that's that badass system from Sega!
But.. isn't PS2 coming out soon. Why did you buy one?
BE QUIET. Dreamcast has great potential for fun. Gaming is about variety and innovation, and Dreamcast has both.
