Source: MSN.com I'm happy to see Vegas made the list, which is an unexpected, and probably undeserved, surprise. Certainly the small contingent of advantage players has a high nerdiness factor, but otherwise Vegas is comparatively an educated and uncultured city. Atlanta surprises me as being #1. I don't know the city that well, so won't comment beyond that. A noteworthy omission is San Jose and perhaps Austin. Knowledge is Good -- Emil Faber |

Portland has the most comic book shops per capita, Sacramento and Las Vegas are 2nd and 3rd. Atlanta has the most game stores per capita, Las Vegas was 2nd. |

Interesting... I'd love to see some Canadian cities measured on this criteria. I would expect Victoria and Vancouver to do quite well. They are the Seattle/Portland of Canada. It is said that your life flashes before your eyes just before you die.... it's called Life |

In the Movato blog Randy Nelson describes exactly how he did the research. You don't have to leave your computer. I do imagine you are correct. |
