First off, this entire thread is extremely amusing to me... Because
what was meant as a harmless exchange between a fellow Pennsylvanian
and I, turned into the best possible misconception.
I had assumed "Onslaught 6" meant 724 in my guess-timation, because
the 724 covers literally thousands of "small tahns" 2-3 hours north,
east, south, and west of the city of Pittsburgh (proper!). So the
universal exchange between two Pennsylvanians will normally go
something like this:
Me: "So what **** tahn yinz from?"
O6: "Some ****-hole called Brockway."
Me: "Cool."
See how that works?

I'm sorry, but all those numbers mean squat to me. You can use all
the internet sources (i.e.: Google! Haha.. Sorry boutcha China!) you
can come up with, but I think I'll go with the person that actually
LIVES in the city of Pittsburgh than a bunch of random #'s Google
spits out.
It'd be like me coming into your country and telling you that all your
native culture and traditions are WRONG because the New Testament says
so! Seriously.

No doubt the 724 is LINKED to Pittsburgh but that still doesn't
qualify the 724 as a Pittsburgh area code. Ask any Pittsburgher their
area code and 10 out of 10 you will hear "THA 412."
I guess the lesson to be learned here is that Pittsburgher's are
extremely 'Burgh-Centric when it comes to their beloved tahn. I bleed
black n gold. And whenever we hear someone claim 724 as a Pittsburgh
#, you're essentially askin' for a beatdown. Petty ain't it? But
that's just Pittsburgh for ya.
And if you still don't believe me, ask Rob Mother****in Cypher! I
didn't think so.

I understand. But if nit-picky fanboys can be anal-retentive about
the details of a toy-line, I think I have the right to nit-pick a
stupid point of interest when it comes to the city I live (love) in.
Fair enough?
And I'm sure the interview was fabulous.

Like I said, it has more to do with petty pride.

Are you sure?
