  • electricdragon, on 04/25/2008, -3/+141Where is City 17?
  • jlimon, on 04/25/2008, -3/+117They missed some of the most brutal fictional cities ever and yet included New York City? C'mon..

    Gotham? Metropolis? Raccoon City?! - This list fails, sorry.
  • lucidguru, on 04/25/2008, -3/+106I'm surprised Gotham City didn't make the list.
  • MattLat, on 04/25/2008, -2/+83Howabout Rapture?
  • wild, on 04/25/2008, -6/+68Cracked would have made this list funnier.
  • dunnylovehun, on 04/25/2008, -1/+49they did: http://www.cracked.com/article_15084_7-worst-ficti ...
  • legoalert33, on 04/25/2008, -0/+46Or Detroit.
  • lastoftheidiots, on 04/25/2008, -0/+39Ditto. 1984's London is another I expected to see.
  • NonLeftistDiggr, on 04/25/2008, -1/+36#1) Detroit

    ooooohhh fictional. Right.
  • bfrank72, on 04/25/2008, -0/+32I searched the comments just to digg up a comment concerning city 17.
  • rentmitchum, on 04/25/2008, -3/+35Midgar would suck. The black people aren't just carrying guns, they're made of guns.
  • homerang, on 04/25/2008, -0/+32PERSON. Black PERSON. He was the only black man in the world.
  • Ganja420, on 04/25/2008, -0/+25Silent Hill ?????
  • str3ama, on 04/25/2008, -4/+26Unless I get to swim in the money vault, Duckberg would suck.
  • Zique, on 04/25/2008, -0/+21I'm not sure it counts as a fictional city anymore.
  • Carv, on 04/25/2008, -0/+17*Rapture.
  • sixsidepentagon, on 04/25/2008, -0/+161986?
    Is that the third in the trilogy?
  • megamod, on 04/25/2008, -4/+17WTF....They have freaking Duckberg??? First thing that comes to mind...hmmm...How about Raccoon city why isn't that on the list. Dugg down for being a freaking retarded list...
  • psykiv, on 04/25/2008, -0/+13According to the episodes, he initially made his millions in the african diamond trade. He eventually made his (insert ridiculously huge number here) in treasure hunting.

    His lucky dime was the first dime he made, shining some guy's shoe in scotland. He got pissed when he got paid in US currency (he was after all, in scotland). Later on when he came to the united stateshe worked for his uncle (or something like that) cleaning (or driving) a boat. He got pissed that he basically got nothing while his uncle (?) racked up most of the profits. He then decided to work smarter, not harder, and owning your own business is the only way to get rich.

    Oh dear, I have watched ducktales too much
  • amanilaenvelope, on 04/25/2008, -4/+16they obviously never heard of Basin City.
  • tghd, on 04/25/2008, -1/+13If you would of read the book you'd know that Oceania covered present day England and the Americas. London from 1984 would be more appropriate.
  • Ghostsfp, on 04/25/2008, -2/+14R'lyeh?
  • DiggMeTo42, on 04/25/2008, -3/+15RAPTURE!
  • Algaroth, on 04/25/2008, -2/+13Smurf village would be the worst. Only one woman to smurfing smurf unless you count the old bag and the underage one. Zion on the other hand looks boring as smurf so there's probably nothing to do but to smurf the smurfing smurf out of each other. (Smurf = sexual reference). I hate that show.
  • Aensland, on 04/25/2008, -0/+10LOL.
    Not to mention the random terror attacks on the power plants, or falling city plates crushing the people below.
  • FaithclubDotNet, on 04/25/2008, -5/+14Oceania (from the book 1984)
  • inactive, on 04/25/2008, -3/+11Ewok village and Smurf village are two of my favorite places...
  • rentmitchum, on 04/25/2008, -2/+10Life is like a hurricane, iiiin Duckberg.

    Blathering blatherskites.
  • richman241, on 04/25/2008, -2/+10I dont think that castle town was a good place to live in in legend of zelda ocarina of time. In 7 years, everyone turned into a vampire.
  • xkorbin, on 04/25/2008, -1/+9Favorite city in the fictional world. Love the time period. And the art style (retrofuturism/steampunk)
  • cigawoot, on 04/25/2008, -1/+9No City 17?

    Not digging that :)
  • NightVortez, on 04/25/2008, -1/+9Yet it's in 4 ***** pages...
  • borninda818, on 04/25/2008, -1/+8It's the first thing that popped into my mind.
  • Sagags, on 04/25/2008, -1/+8Don't forget Rapture
  • LunaticFringe, on 04/25/2008, -0/+7Smurf Village was officially bombed to hell in a UNICEF commercial. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Qa8MjjMajEA
  • matym, on 04/25/2008, -2/+8Chiba City? The Sprawl?
  • kenkyomausu, on 04/25/2008, -0/+6I saw the digg article and Dr. Breen popped into my head and siad "Welcome to city 17".
  • EpicSelekta, on 04/25/2008, -1/+7The sheer thought of penguins attached to rockets is justification enough for Gotham to be on the top of the list!
  • mattwalton56, on 04/25/2008, -1/+7A MAN CHOOSES, A SLAVE OBEYS!
  • inactive, on 04/25/2008, -1/+7What bout Smallville. More ***** happens in Smallville tv series than Metropolis. That ***** show ruined the entire Original Superman comic book story line.
  • radsprack, on 04/25/2008, -1/+6Why would anyone want to live in a city with a prick like superman?
  • inactive, on 04/25/2008, -0/+5i'm not a lesbian...
  • Ganja420, on 04/25/2008, -2/+7Silent Hill ????
  • kawaiirobo, on 04/25/2008, -0/+5Damn, you beat me to it, as soon as I read the link I thought, 'Gotham'
  • spamly, on 04/25/2008, -0/+5There's also that pilot that can't seem to land his plane without taking out at least one structure...
  • cnot3, on 04/25/2008, -1/+6Bartertown. ***** Tina Turner.
  • Atomic05, on 04/25/2008, -0/+5London, circa 1984, should make that list.
  • iloveGod08, on 04/25/2008, -0/+5Its not about sharing the wealth! Its about investing the wealth in businesses in the town so the average person's quality of life can improve.
  • Navicerts, on 04/25/2008, -3/+8They cloned smurfette in that picture.
  • mikolby, on 04/25/2008, -1/+5What about Castle Rock, Maine?
