Yikes. That sounds like Guantanamo Bay!

[PaLaDiN]

Or Microsoft HQ, which is worse.

[ShyGuy]

But MS HQ is in Redmond, WA same as Nintendo, so you could travel there and at the last minute yell "Screw this I'm gonna go to Nintendo!" Then run over to Nintendo HQ and hang out with Reggie. That would be sweet.

Fixed.
Seriously, if you are in the area, drive through there.  It's bizarre.  Every other building is labeled with MS... on all sides of Nintendo's street of buildings.
