    No interest in playing, but for some reason I love how it has taken over the news cycle this week. Beats the hell out of the real news.

      This seems to be the moment I go from being vaguely interested in what The Kids are doing to "f-ck it, I'll be over here with my Kindle -- the most advanced tech I will ever need."

        I'm an old hand at Ingress, the publisher's previous game which runs off a similar concept and formed the basis for PoGo's map data. (All the stops/gyms at the Holocaust museum and Arlington? Regrettably, it's to blame.) I have an Ingress portal at the end of my condo complex driveway. It's somewhat out of the way of the hardcore players, so it gets visited maybe a couple times a week. That same portal is now a gym in PoGo. There is now a constant ring of 5 people around it at all times.

        Last I heard the active Ingress player base worldwide was about 8 million. This probably hit that in 5 days.

        The rate at which this went from "cool niche game mostly played by smart, tech-savvy adults who know what they're doing" to "THE APOCALYPSE IS NIGH" was unprecedented. There were no stops in between. I do not blame the haters for the hype backlash. It'll cool off, but holy crap did that blow up fast.

        Also, I would like to take this moment to inform you that there is, in fact, no shelter from this storm. #TeamInstinct

                The first case of DWP -- Driving While Pokemon-ing happened in Auburn NY

                http://www.auburnny.gov/Public_Docum...8513.1/Pic.jpg

                Yesterday evening, July 12, 2016 at approximately 10:44pm the Auburn Police Department responded to a motor vehicle accident in the area of 144 Owasco Street involving injury to the driver who crashed his vehicle into a tree. The driver admitted to actively playing the “Pokemon Go” game while driving causing him to become distracted and run off the roadway into a tree.

                Luckily the driver was not seriously injured but this is an example of how easily accidents can occur when someone is engaged in the game and not paying attention. The accident investigation is on-going.

                Have fun but be smart!

                    So they made what $5B in a week, and that's just with 3 or 4 test markets? They're going to quadruple that when they open it up to the PRC.

                    And when their Pokemen can fight there are going to be rumbles in every junior high school on Earth.

                        Finally had a chance to go on a walk and got up to Level 5. My walk was very productive as the two parks I walked between both lures attached to their Pokemon stops. Probably caught 10 different Pokemon and got to evolve my Drowzee to Hypno.

                          Spent a couple hours hanging out at a shopping Plaza tonight. 4 stops within 200 ft of each other, the pokesheeple had lures on all of them most of the time. 'twas fun.

                          When I had my screen zoomed out, 22 stops and 5 gyms in that area.

                          Up to level 12, so having great balls is nice. Had to go mystic.

                            I mentioned on GPL, that I wanna create a Pokemon on my apt's property, make it somewhat rare, lure the zombies to it, and before they can capture it, destroy the Pokemon. Laugh at the carnage.
                            Never really developed a taste for tequila. Kind of hard to understand how you make a drink out of something that sharp, inhospitable. Now, bourbon is easy to understand.

                              Went to World of Beer, sat on the patio, and enjoyed three Pokestops with lures, the sun, and a couple brews. 412 point Raichu strolled by, one-balled it.

                              I'm level 12, saving up for a Lucky Egg evolution spree this weekend. Don't pass up those Pidgeys and Rattatas - they're easy to evolve for 500 XP a pop, 1000 if you have a Lucky Egg active.
