Pokemon GO

Four suspects taken into custody and a gun later found at 2 a.m. Sunday.
I don't doubt that the four people were taken into custody or that a gun was later found.
However, when the case is settled, or if the case is settled, I doubt there will actually be any connection to the Pokemon game in this case.
I could be wrong, but the type of people who commit armed robbery are not usually the type of people who figure out this type of elaborate set-up so quickly.
Crimes could well be connected to the game down the line, but three-four days is a quick turn around for these alleged criminals.
I'm just skeptical.

 

Umm, that's actually a deal worth taking if you're the police.

 

I didn't realize that I should have expected an economic benefit from Pokemon Go. Now I'm angry!

 

Oh no! The sky is falling!

 

4,500 say they'll hunt Pokemon together on the streets of San Francisco Wednesday

 

You could probably get rich selling a Pokeman backpack with a battery recharge and water-bottle holder.

 

The Holocaust Museum actually had to put out a press release asking for people to not play Pokemon Go inside the museum. Cripes.

 

I don't understand what this is, but my friend Sarah, who's at or almost 4o, messaged me from Jerusalem to tell me to download it. (Fortunately, I cannot, as the phone is a work phone.) She said she'd played it for hours the night before and "couldn't wait" for lunch so she could start playing again.

I'm hoping to remain oblivious.

 

The Holocaust Museum story is the worst example I have heard. How is it that the creators haven't checked or cleared where they are sending people to find these magical creatures?

Also, what is the point? Is there a game to win?

 

They're supposed to check and clear the entire world?

My guess (don't have it) is that the creator doesn't actually send people to specific spots, instead randomizes the around your location.

 

Now seeing that people are playing at Arlington National Cemetery. Come on.
