A place called Ogre!

While browsing the forums today I noticed one of the Google adverts was offering me 'Hotels in Ogre'. There is actually a place called Ogre!

How cool is that?! Anyone for a Pilgrimage?

If I had a lot of extra cash floating around I'd be down for it.

Haha, looks like a nice place for a pilgrimage... or some holidays

I'm sure it's great, you can read all about it on their official homepage! In Latvian of course

It looks so realistic!

Wow, it's even (partially) mapped in OpenStreetMap too. In fact according to OSM there's a River Ogre (running through Ogre town) and even an Ogre Drive (in the US).

I'm not sure, but I don't think they set up their view frustum properly for the second one

Interesting, even the mighty Google maps missed them!

We should have an official Ogre meet there. Go to an Ogre party at one of the pubs in Ogre, drink some locally brewed Ogre beer and eat the local Ogre food.

Also one of us could make a fiberglass version of our famous "ogre.mesh" and put it in the middle of town as a statue.

Will you guys start acting like the world revolve around Ogre3d?

Perhaps, the folk over there had long been cheering.. hey there is a C++ library named after ours...
