Yo, this "Pokemon Go" thing is out of control.  I was jogging around the local park yesterday and there were just dozens of people standing still staring blankly at their phones.  If I didn't know what was happening I'd either be freaked out or think it was some flash mob ... as if they were being ironic by standing in the middle of a beautiful park playing on their cell phones while dogs scurried about and people threw Frisbees around them. 



It reminded me of an episode of "Black Mirror" so much that I felt obligated to make this video:

Let me guess, Season 2 Episode 2?

The creator of the show ended up tweeting out the video:

Edited.  Profanity and masked profanity are against forum rules and may result in discipline.n that video is gold
I'm bitter.

This pokemon go thing is getting bigger every day.  Here's a picture of my local park this evening:



Last night, the local Police got a bunch of 911 calls, because there was screaming in the park at 11:00pm:  http://www.bellevuereporter.com/news/386359571.html ...  I know exactly what the screams were, because I was walking home from dinner... the sprinklers came on and hundreds of pokemon go players scattered like cockroaches screaming.

They were also calling out when a rare pokemon would show up.  "TAUROS!! TAUROS!!" and everyone would go running to that location.   I just checked twitter and someone posted a video of that happening right at this very minute:  https://www.instagram.com/p/BHyezP2hYUh/

Gotta admit, it's kinda fun.  I've been playing it with my wife.  There's no way the fad lasts, but it's pretty entertaining right now.

Fantastic game.

So I was never a huge fan of the God of War games, but GoW 4 was a masterpiece. The violence actually had purpose within the greater narrative. The mixing of Greek and Norse mythology never got old, and it felt like a movie with gameplay mixed in. At its' core, it is a story about a Father accepting his role in this world and trying to guide his son through the trails of life.

And as of this weekend, my friends and I are hooked on Apex legends. It is from the same people who made Titanfall and it is incredibly addictive.

The best game (that I've played of course) of this generation IMO.

Played vanilla until 2007 then didn't play it again until Warlords Of Draenor and Legion. I have about 5 tunes all capped to level 110. Never got into being in guild. Always played solo. How is BfA?

If you like PVP, you'll enjoy it a lot. Even if you just like the rising tension between the factions you should enjoy it. I like where it picks up at the end of Legion with the faction tension and a subtle underlay of Old Gods coming back. All of the good legion mechanics carried over. The new races are cool. It takes a lot less to get into the endgame than Legion did, much fewer hoops to jump through as far as quests to unlock zones. My advice to anyone getting back in, roll a tank, you will never be bored! (huge lack of tanks in mythics, and they are hysterical in bgs.)
