Pokemon Go!

Been using walking the dog to mask the fact i'm in my mid twenties and hooked on it. Nothing but Weedles, Pidgeys, ratatta's and an absolute fuck tonne of Drowzee's around my area. Every gym is just full of hypno's.

I downloaded it earlier(for my grandsons to play on obviously) and I caught two crabs in my garden. Isn't technology marvellous, in 1984 I had to get a taxi from my local to a lass in Darnhill flats to catch crabs. We've come such a long way.

The Sheikh will want to "Catch 'em all" so should be plenty lured to the Etihad.

Can someone explain the concept to an old man. When I next have my grandson he'll no doubt ask for it. What does it entail.?
Cheers.

"In simple terms, Pokémon Go is a game that uses your phone’s GPS and clock to detect where and when you are in the game and make Pokémon "appear" around you (on your phone screen) so you can go and catch them. As you move around, different and more types of Pokémon will appear depending on where you are and what time it is. The idea is to encourage you to travel around the real world to catch Pokémon in the game." (vox.com)

It's basically what gaming has been trying to do for many years, get you moving.

latched onto a great concept - crap subject though - future games based on the Google Maps/StreetView augmented reality will be much much better - watch this space!
