Shangri La

The America we know today is in no way homogeneous. To be honest, it never was. But to think that such a wide variety of ethnic and religious vices has taken hold of this "Christian Nation". Many different peoples have been integrated into the American way of life while still maintaining. Foreign tradition has become a staple of the American lifestyle, especially Gaming.

Gaming has become an actual subculture. People make a living off of being "Video Directors" of Video Game Commentaries. Companies like Machinima and IGN, which are invested in using and explaining game mechanics, are important contributors to the international economy. There are now multiple conventions and meetings centered around gaming. Even a language, named "1337" (Leet). Gaming has truly expanded from a simple hobby to a Subculture all on it's own.
