Ottumwa, Iowa declared itself the international video game capital of the world; Smash not mentioned. Big tournaments going on there this week apparently, I heard about this on National Public Radio:

Mario Kart but no Smash, MVC2, or ST? Fail.

At least they're using the N64 MK game.

They should add Mario Party 2 if it's not mentioned yet.

This is the first time I've ever seen "Iowa" and "Video Game" in the same sentence.
I mean... Iowa? Really?

 

[Geist]

I guess not enough people were paying attention to Iowa lately?

That list is somewhat... lacking.

 

[Kanelol]

Cali says whats up

 

[rhan]

Iowa's bull****ing itself.

 

[Cosmo!]

it's because of TG and Walter Day.

 

[Yung Mei]

so what you guys are telling me is that Iowa is the Pichu of the united states?

 

[ru5514n]

So has Tokyo (or whatever other Japanese city) found out about this... nonsense?

 

[Siglemic]

[BigD!!!]

[Rubyiris]

When I think of the biggest places in gaming, Cali is always the first place to come to mind. Lol.

[Skler]

Iowa is in the North of the Midwest, right?
