Pokemon Go!

[Gandalf]

What the fuck is a poke man? It sounds bloody gay to be going out and doing that to people.

Whatever happened to the "good ol days" when we played GTA for the very first time and quickly found out you couldn't drive a car like a skateboard on the way to work

Dopes on Pokémon are the biggest marks going today...oblivious to the world. They are trumpeting the 'exercise benefit' of this also. Yeh you'll burn calories running when others call it free phone day.

Heard about this last night on talk radio. OK, it's confirmed.
Video games never got me. All I have on my phone is chess, pro bowling.. Where you can get the bomb ball to blow up the pins.

And sadly, I got Miss Pacman. I don't play it though... Need a joystick.

tss i play it though, but just secretly, its nice going out, catch pokemon, we have to catch them all POKEMON, Its good fun, real life maps, and its not like a normal game where you can sit still, you have to go out and move yoo ass. i recon it's good fun, play it with a few mates and we have a competition between us.

but some people are taking it too far though!

See before I deleted it I didn't have to go out, I could catch them from the comfort of my own living room, 30 odd of the little basted, there must have been a poke nest in my flat somewhere, every time I would open the app there would be about 5 of them in the room with me.

And the health benifits people keep talking about? That's walking, if the game made you cycle a certain distance to get the app to open or the app unlocked when your heart rate hit a certain level then maybe but...it is encouraging people to slowly walk somewhere and then stand still whilst flicking their screen for a minute before slowly walking somewhere else.

Seriously are people that idle that they don't even walk these days?

[Gandalf]

My apologies. Pokemon, not Poke a Man. Still, doesn't sound like my thing. I prefer to stay at home and shoot people. People walk around looking into their phones enough already. It probably shouldn't be encouraged.

Someone showed me this at work the other day, it's not for me but the real maps mode looked pretty cool.

Where I work is right outside the train station and everything of interest in Bristol is within a few hundred feet which means there are fuck loads of pokemon around my office therefor fuckloads of halfwits walking around with their phone in the air grinning like Cheshire cats.

Pokemon Go is even more popular than Tinder.

Tinder, of course, is another app where you swipe to find monsters in your area.
