This is really good news for bicyclists, who stand to be replaced as the most hated creatures on the road.

A "friend" of mine cracked a collarbone and a handful of ribs trying to catch em all while cycling. Sometimes, the two types of creatures combine to disastrous effect

In other news, US holocaust museum has asked people to stop playing pokemon go during their visit

Fun fact, if you've been searching for lots of porn recently and then look up holocaust on Bing you'll get lots of REALLY strange results.

Bah, people need to get over crap like this. It's not like they intentionally went there to play (probably).

In which case, they must have intentionally gone there to see the museum, which means they should be respectful of other visitors and the memorial and quit staring at their glowing phones the whole time.

We had a giant traffic jam on Monday.
I can almost guarantee it was Pokemon Go related.

LOL omg these news stories; here's a recap:

’s only been released for a week, but the augmented reality video game “Pokemon Go” is already causing concerns among law enforcement agencies that report seeing an uptick in calls and crimes.

In the latest “Pokemon Go” attack, two men focused on the scavenger hunt-like smartphone game were robbed and carjacked this week in Northern California.

David Wallace and his friend went to Lone Oak Park in Antelope, Calif., after work late Sunday looking to capture a Pokemon, KCRA-TV reported. The friends were playing for about 20 minutes when they were approached by a gunman.

The gunman told the friends, “'If you don't want to get hurt, give me your phones.’"

With the success of "Pokemon Go," we set out to discover if any of the little monsters were hiding within the walls of our own L.A. Times newsroom.
The gunman took the men’s cellphones and cash and then drove off in Wallace’s Suzuki Grand Vitara, the TV station reported.

If he hadn’t been playing the game, Wallace said he wouldn’t have been at the park.

“I’d be at home,” he told the station.

The robbery wasn’t the first theft connected to the game.

Using real locations, the GPS-focused mobile game app allows users to take trips around their neighborhoods and cities to collect Pokemons, which appear within the game. Developed by Niantic Inc, the new game leads players to Pokestops, where users can grab virtual loot.

The game could leave players vulnerable to criminals if they are not paying attention to their surroundings, law enforcement agencies warned.


In Missouri, four teens were arrested and accused of using the app to lure users and rob them. Police said at least 10 robberies were committed.

Sheriff’s officials in Virginia issued a stern warning to “Go” players after experiencing an increase in “trespassing and suspicious activity” calls because strangers were entering businesses, churches and government facilities at all hours.

“These actions are considered trespassing and put the individual and deputies in a position of unnecessary risk. Please refrain from going onto property without proper permission or after appropriate times. Parents should encourage their children to avoid these actions for their own safety and enjoy the game responsibly,” the Goochland County Sheriff’s Office said.

In Wyoming, a woman searching for a virtual creature found a dead body floating in a river.

And on Tuesday in Fullerton, two former Marines helped nab a man who was wanted in connection with attempted murder in Sonoma County. They notified police after they noticed the man was bothering children at a playground.

Starting a Kickstarter:

Pokemon Go + Tinder = POKEMON HOE

You drive around finding virtual prostitutes, and when you find one you yell "PIKACHU NAKED???" After you collect enough, the game features a happy ending.

Who's in with me?

I'm starting a Kickstarter called "FACEBOOK GO"

You walk around, talk to people, make friends (& enemies), be social.

btw, I survived. Smooth sailing from 15-501 > 85 > 95, but then 495 >295 got rather hairy.

I am pretty sure that I encountered at least 2 pokemorons on 295: one decided to just stop in the center lane for no ostensible reason (no one in front of them, no one trying to merge from the right or left of them), sending traffic from 70mph to about 30mph in 2 seconds.

Though, it is possible that this was simply a normal Maryland idiot driver. I will collect more data and report back.
