The Pokemon Go thread

[sweetcell]

apparently this damn game is taking over the world, and has even made a fan outta julian, so i assume it deserves its own thread.

and now the club is getting in on the action... apparently it's a "gym" (i'm vaguely aware of the concept, but not being a player i'm not completely clean on how this will improve my live music experiences...)


 
any PoGo'ers here?

sadly was reviewing it for my kids to install and now I'm a user
took me a while to figure out how to actually catch one of the suckers
but I got some peach colored dragon and haven't been to a gym yet
DFA and Kilsal are going hard core from what I can tell

it's crazy how fast this thing exploded

If this saves the Comic Books and Other Nerdy Topics thread, then this thread is a good move.

If it doesn't, you're the asshole, sweetcell.

Yes but I'm staying true to Ingress, where the "adults" play.  It is fun catching Pokemons from public transport...

Fan is a bit of an overstatement. I like that its getting fattyboombalatties moving, but I'm not about to play this crap.

Look at kosmo whipping his nerd cock out!

While I don't play it, and likely never will as I'm 42, my wife is 36 (ie, we both missed the pokemon window growing up) and don't have children, I am fascinated by the user numbers and have been following them closely.

More daily users than twitter.
People spend more time playing pokemon then on Facebook (mobile) by a third
Higher Peak Daily Users than Candy Crush (which I also avoided)

And if you think the US is crazy about it, you should see the Australia and New Zealand numbers.

That's all crazy impressive stuff right there and like Kosmo I am super happy for the Niantic guys.

Not a chance.

But if (almost) any of you need a place to stay because you're coming out to interview, my door is open.

We do this every weekend, usually to the tune of 14-21 miles.

Now that I would download.

Here you go.

I hope they resolve the issue with the app freezing while capturing Pokemons, it locks up seemingly always when that rare one appears.
