Well, I agree and disagree with that notion. Absolutely nothing else has been as distracting to drivers as the smartphone. Because you can play games on them or read Reddit (or Kotaku) or whatever. And it’s all at your fingertips. The problem, though, is that it completely takes your attention off the road because you…

Not having both hands on the wheel drops your reaction time by 2 seconds? I would need to see where that comes from, because I believe you to be conflating statistics.

Well, it actually turns out he was trying to kill the cops due to all the unrest between the black and police communities, but using his quick wits, he decided to blame it on Pokemon Go.

Well, if you have your phone visible in your hand, you’re visibly breaking the law. If you have it down in your lap, and you’re looking down, that’s not a crime unless you’re driving recklessly. Because maybe there was an ant. Or maybe you spilled something. Or whatever. Unless they can prove it was a phone and you…

So most of the things on your list are just straight up illegal. 1, 3, 6, 7, 8, 10, 11, 14, and 15 are all finable offenses. That said, 2 sticks out.

PotG is a pretty good idea if you ask me. Is it implemented perfectly? No, but what ever is? The fact that true support (healing/blocking) never gets PotG is the most annoying aspect of it. Otherwise, it’s not like I’ve run into a lot of (any?) players whose sole objective was to get PotG. Ultimately, it’s the people…

I think the flashing just means the box updated. Not that you made any meaningful progress towards your Pokemon.

Yup. That’s what generates the clicks, though.

Now these are the sorts of complaints I’ve been waiting for.

So there are two stories here: in the man’s story, he confronts them with a gun, they speed off while trying to run him over, and he shoots at them.

Well, I found the Wizards of the Coast/Kittock surveys.

So many people who never bothered reading the manuals.

So if my mom (or any woman) bought me a game, she’s a user because she’s using it to win affection from me? Don’t be ridiculous.

I also know plenty of black people who are voting Republican (read: for Trump). But they do not represent the masses.

1) I used Catan as an example of complex vs simple, not gender demographics.

So you’re twisting the context of my argument (intentionally?). Sure, men shop at VS, but they’re buying gifts for women. The equivalent would be women buying video/board games for men.

What? No, I’m not. I just think you’re not addressing Gygax’s quote correctly.

Well, two things. First, I’ve always assumed Gygax’s quote implies a strictly female audience. As in catered to females, no males.

So you see many kids playing this game? The youngest I’ve seen is probably 14 or so. Smartphones aren’t that common for children.

Every time I hear this, I assume you guys are talking about this.
