Pokemon Go

[Landlord]

My roommate and I went for a long adventure around the loop/navy pier area last night. Found a Koffing, Grimer, Golbat, Scyther, Psyduck, Goldeen, Abra, Horsea and Omanyte as far as new Pokemon. We saw shadows of a Slowpoke and a Dratini but couldn't find either.

Social media at it's finest. Our church is a pokestop and i've been using that on social media as well.

If anyone gets near my residence playing this will get a wake up call to what real life is.

Yea, you're probably hoarding all the good ones.

I know nothing about app programming, but Niantic should have considered maybe limiting the playing field of the game? Wandering into yards or the freakin' Holocaust Museum to catch Pokemon is a weird concept (unless they literally couldn't restrict it to things like public parks, shopping areas, schools/universities et al? Like I said, no app programming knowledge whatsoever). I also wouldn't have to read irrationally angry social media posts about it from family members with way too much free time but I digress :|

I am way behind on games. I just started playing CoC.

I've been playing CofC for quite awhile but my clan sucks. We have to be the worst warring clan ever. Been kind of ignoring it since I got going on PG.

I don't know how the game works, but my wife thinks it's the best thing ever. My step son who used to be glued to his laptop 24/7 (especially in the summer) has been out and about constantly. She said she took him to some land marks around the area and 10 to 20 people were there doing the same thing, striking up conversations with perfect strangers, people getting exercise that otherwise wouldn't.

That's what I loved about it when I heard about it. But then when I started playing I discovered I didn't even have to get near the Pokemon to catch them... They should make the radii smaller. Like maybe you can see the ones within 50 yards, but you have to be within 5 yards to catch them.

I'm not gonna do it again because it's horrible and stupid but I caught one at Mahoney while driving on I-80...

I feel like I'm missing out, guys.

But what if I start and can't catch them all?

You quite finished, Dewiz?

It's a way to encourage kids to get outside and off their asses, walk, perhaps get some exercise. That's not a bad thing.

Dewiz, you're trying to spend almost two thousand dollars on a gaming computer that you want to be sure can play games at 4k instead of 1080p, and you want to spend 5 minutes making a bunch of posts mocking people playing a game that's free, encourages exercise and is on a device that we all already own?
