Now this is crazy (translated from Swedish)

In the middle of the night, a dude living in northern sweden (Arvid) hears someone trying to get inside his house (dude has a door with a window so he can see a fellow trying to enter the door whilst flashing a flashlight through the window).

Arvid thinks it's a burglar, which every sane person would when someone tries to enter your house in the middle of the night like that.

Arvid picks up an umbrella (as defence against the would-be burglar) and then opens the door slightly and asks what the hell is going on.

The fellow outside responds "Sorry , it's just that there is a very very important Pokemon inside your hallway, could you please let me enter for a quick moment so i can "blip" it? (i assume catch it to his phone).

Arvid was so confused that he let's the unknown stranger enter the hallway, blip the pokemon and then leave, while mumbling something.

After gathering his thoughts for a bit, Arvid regrets letting the stranger inside, he was thinking maybe he should have caught that elusive and important Pokemon ihimself!!!!

What would happen if this occured in USA , Texas? Cheesy Grin

I just think it's sad that people are proud that they are finally "getting exercise" and "going outside" because of Pokemon Go. That is so sad. Like seriously. Those are the same things that terminally ill patients about to die in the hospital are happy to do. yet these are healthy 18 year old kids saying this. If you need a video game to make you go for a 5 minute walk, you have serious problems.

Motivation and change comes in many forms gimmick. Hopefully it leads to fat ass American kids becoming more active.

I still really don't know what this game is about, and I have no inclination to find out.

I don't play anything related to video games or that crap.

The last gaming console I owned was "game cube."

I'll tell you anyway, because I had to watch a YouTube video and watch my nephew play

Game is Location-based Augmented reality. App uses GPS to track location. You walk around and catch Pokemon. Which basically means a little character appears on the screen and you flick a ball at them.
Game has pokestops and gyms. Pokestops are places that get items once a day and gyms let you fight other teams. By fight, the game means click the screen a lot and fast. 3 teams in game red, blue and yellow. Game is free, but has many Micro transactions to get peoples money.

So if game sounds lame, that is because you're an adult and it is. Awesome for kids though.

I wish I came up with this idea and developed this game, i'm sure Tuna Holmes wishes that as well.

Imagine the money in this.

People are going crazy because it is pokemon, game is based on data from a game called ingress that no one played. People are nostalgic for their childhoods and many people in their 20-30s grow up playing pokemon.

It was already a Nintendo DS game just ported to Iphone so even if you thought of it you couldn't have made it. Nintendo stock is rising though. Can easily be a billion dollar winfall for them, especially since it hasn't even been released in a lot of Asian countries and those fuckers will go bonkers for this shit.

So, as you said, enjoyable for a 7-year old. Not so much for a 42-year old.

What if a getbigger was on a date and he was playing Pokemon Go, and he saw one. I wonder how he would react.

FLOWER MOUND, TEXAS
A North Texas teen is recovering after being bitten by a venomous snake while playing the wildly popular and increasingly controversial Pokemon GO game in a Flower Mound park.

The injury is yet another bizarre tale associated with the treasure hunt-style video game, which can be downloaded for free and played on smartphones.

Officials at many public buildings are trying to warn gamers that they’re wandering into dangerous areas. At least two Dallas-Fort Worth area hospitals have asked Pokemon players — or “Pokemon trainers” as they’re called in the game — to stop loitering around their helicopter landing pads in search of Pokemon creatures, saying their presence could pose a danger for incoming medical emergency flights.

But the snake bite was a clear case of someone not watching where he was walking, officials said.

I DON’T THINK MOM THOUGH

Nintendo is averaging 5 million dollars a day on game revenue.

They are going to have sponsored locations to increase revenue upstream.

It's a phenomenon that hasn't even been launched in most of the world yet.

Damn right I wish I had.
