Same here. I’ve started leaving low-level evolved Pokemon that I catch in the wild. What’s that? A 14CP Pidgeotto? A 19CP Raticate? A 17 CP Beedrill? Sure, why not.

Those goddamn doduos. If you count dodrios (since the vast majority of my dodrios have been evolved doduos), doduos are responsible for 22% of my catches so far.

I feel like this is 40% awesome and 60% terrible. I feel like I’ll only be able to avoid it until I get down to the last 30 Pokemon or so.

This is very true. The last time I used the lucky egg, I pulled of 26 evolves in thirty minutes (with time for the app to crash multiple times in between) and went from Level 16 to Level 18 in one boost. Save up all of those pidgeys, rattatas, weedles, and caterpies and it can really bump you up there.

Another option is to find a building with terrible GPS reception. My work is in a poured concrete building with awful GPS reception (I’ll be in my office maybe 50 feet from a pokestop and it will tell me I’m on the other side of the building, 400 feet away), so my avatar is constantly walking around the screen,…

The Orlando Sentinel article, quoting the police, so take that for what it’s worth, said that he “stepped in front of the vehicle, thinking they had possibly broken into his home, raised his gun and ordered them not to move.”

From the Orlando Sentinel:

Even if his version is plausible, he should still be charged with, at the very least, reckless endangerment for firing at a fleeing vehicle.

Baylor is still being sued, right? What's the chance of the plaintiffs getting access to the Pepper Hamilton documents in discovery?

Maybe mute your phone? I play mostly without the mute button on (with and without headphones) and it always vibrates when something pops up. In fact, I just now heard it buzz in the drawer under my desk and nabbed a Squirtle, only to have the app crash on me, because of course it did. Thankfully, it was still there…

Yay! It’s my hometown team! Yes, it’s the absolute lowest levels of American soccer, but FC Wichita are surprisingly good (won the league and invited to the US Open Cup in their first season) and they’re a heck of a lot of fun to watch.

So he’s just shortening the standard Chaturanga-Upward Dog-Downward Dog progression? Why not just do the whole thing?

Sounds like this is going to fall in my usual Lego bucket: a game I can pick up in three months for $30 instead of $60. Frankly, that’s the way most Lego games end up for me. This just seems more in that vein than normal.

The key to not becoming insufferable fans is to understand that everybody will hate you, you will no longer be the underdog ever, and people will constantly look for ways to bring you down.

Right, but, at least in my area, if you’ve gotten to the interview stage it means that I’ve already weeded out the 50-60 applicants who weren’t qualified (or were less qualified). Now I’m looking for the best fit, and part of determining that fit is figuring out how your experience will apply to my organization.

This is where we’re sitting right now. We’re in the market for a new television and I can get a pretty nice, 50" Samsung for under $400 whereas a similarly sized 4k television is going to run $700+. Given that we don’t sit close enough to notice the difference, none of our media sources have 4k output, and our cable…

Keep your eye out for sales. I picked up my set at Gamestop a few weeks back for $50 (for the PS3 version) and got several of the level packs for 40% off.

I’m a little worried about the new “Story Pack,” since it looks like it will be expensive and I’m not sure it will provide a ton of gameplay value if it’s just covering the one movie (I thought the Ghostbusters level pack had similar issues).

Not a tabletop RPG, but close enough, I’d say.
