Pokemon Go!!!!

[Faldoe]

Like most people, I was kind of surprised by how big this is right now. And I had my fingers crossed that this might happen and it looks like it's starting:

A way to thin the heard. And we need it.

There's a local kid who keeps beating my gym. Too bad there aren't that many local cliffs

[skullservant]

I went on a walk with my son and played it, caught a few Pokemon and he actually walked for quite a while before he decided he was done

[Strange Tales]

I can't battle my friends and I'm already bored with this.

Back to regular Pokemon games.

I have a sweet spawn point right outside my apartment, and a poké stop only 1 min away. As you can tell, I'm fairly lazy

I just want to catch 'em all. Couldn't care less about the gym fights.

Saw this and thought of you two:

Haha! This is true. The dogs have no idea what's going on, but it wears them out, which is great because they're assholes when they're not.

People keep making fun of these folks dying and I don't think it's funny in the slightest. Sure it's a dumbass way to go out, but fuck man, they died. We need to be better than making fun of the dead for fucks sake.

[Chankgeez]

Has anybody actually died yet while playing the game?

[gnomethrone]

The dudes in San Diego only had minor injuries. Definitely ok to lol at.

If it doesn't thin the herd, it's the end of progress.
Seriously, this whole experiment has gone terribly wrong and I am now very concerned for the future of humanity.

It's Darwinism, jwar.
Dodos were fucking hilarious before they got theirs.
Shit doesn't stop being funny because somebody died.
Particularly when acts of grand idiocy are involved.

In this case they were injured, but the principle still stands.

[Chankgeez]

Dodos were fucking hilarious before they got theirs.

I think you'll find the circumstances behind Dodo extinction to be slightly different. Bad comparison.

[Iommic Pope]

Pretty sure this Pokemon Go thing is a mass extinction event perpetrated against humans by other humans under the guise of self infliction so...

My point was, though, that Dodos were funny, idiots can be funny, they both die, as do we all - sometimes in hilarious manners - so, no point in not getting a giggle in where one is due.

Oh God that pic in the article.

News sources are being gooflers about the whole thing if you ask me. Just because it's popular they feel like they need to talk about it. Whatever, it's a fun game. Nobody reports on all of the love that comes from it. Of course weird shit is going to happen once you get out and about.

In the words of JRR Tolkien: “It's a dangerous business, Frodo, going out your door. You step onto the road, and if you don't keep your feet, there's no knowing where you might be swept off to.”

I misunderstood the title before reading it. LOL! I thought they plunged to their deaths. God I hate the media.

Anyway, accidents are ok to laugh at. Silly shit. I just thought someone had actually died.

I do wish that people weren't so fucking stupid when playing this thing though.

I downloaded it to see what the deal is. It's something that could be fun with my kids. I tried it in my neighborhood in the car, just to see how dangerous playing it and driving would be. I had to stop on the side of the street to try and catch a Pokeman. If I hadn't. I would wreck attempting this. That's my fear of it. It's GPS and the locations (gyms and Pokemen) are far enough apart in my area that the only way to catch any is to drive, which is a big NO, NO in Overland Park, KS. Good God. The soccer moms here already drive the biggest SUV's available and put on their make up and eat yogurt while driving (I'm not kidding). The teens are driving daddy's 100k car....yea this is going to get interesting here. I live in the richest area in Kansas (right on the border of Leawood. Half my neighborhood is in Leawood). So these guys are dumb dumbs.
