I like how she’s talking about how she assumes they’re all going to be Asian, then when she gets to the Chinese character she assumes that she’s Scandanavian or something.

Pleeeeeeease force your friends to see this movie. It is flopping hard at the box office and it absolutely doesn’t deserve it... it’s practically a tragedy that Suicide Squad set box office records and this movie looks like it’s not going to be making its own budget back...

It really doesn’t seem like these things are going to be used as a way of exchanging money with the game... these passes use the same NFC reader that’s in Amiibo (and in fact, there was an article when Amiibo first came out showing that some people could actually tap an Amiibo on the Subway turnstile and be given…

Was this Olympics even real? I feel like this has been some kind of fever dream.

Reportedly, in my area there’s a problem with any Team Instinct players who manage to take over a gym getting reported and often soft-banned for their effort. According a reddit screenshot someone shared with me, there seems to be a number of players who believe that Instinct simply can’t legitimately take over a gym,…

And I’m willing to bet that Fox News will blame any election night violence on Hilary...

Thank you for directly linking the article you’re referencing :)

This is my biggest fear with this game. This game could be seen as a test of whether or not they’ll continue to produce titles in the Metroid franchise... but many fans are likely going to skip this game just out of spite. And the message Nintendo might get from this is simply, “Metroid isn’t worth working on”. But on…

I actually managed to win a proper surfing Pikachu through a Nintendo Power contest... although it turns out you could also win one from one of the challenges in Pokemon Stadium. Though the interesting thing to me that I haven’t heard a lot of people mention, was if a Raichu used Surf in Pokemon Stadium it had a…

I never acctually thought about that, but you’re totally right... it’s kind of interesting that some Pokemon’s Alola forms are only for their evolutions...

I remember in Pokemon Stadium you could actually win a surfing Pikachu in one of the challenges... if you used Surf in battle the Pikachu would just magically summon a surfboard from nowhere. But if you evolved it into a Raichu it would actually just hop on its tail and surf on that. So it’s kind of cool to see that…

I was too impatient at the time... I wasn’t very good at organizing raids... so I kept finding myself in situations where I was trying to get together a party, and just getting a big enough party together to take on a quest took at least half an hour, if not more... by then odds were good that someone had to leave or…

There have been a few pics and videos showing normal versions of classic Pokemon (in the promotional picture for this article, you can see a regular looking Tauros), so some of them will still be there. It’s possible that some species might even have both their classic and Alola forms catchable in the Alola region.

Really? For Suicide Squad? And when he chooses to Cosplay, he chooses the least iconic character in the whole Squad? He would at least have a more interesting costume if he dressed up as friggin’ Slipknot. I feel like he’s just an “airsoft bro” who wanted an excuse to show off his sweet gun.

I’m pretty sure most theaters in America banned bringing cosplay weapons of any kind after the Dark Knight Rises shooting tragedy. I know that when I’ve been to some of my local theaters during large opening nights, I saw signs making it clear that they don’t allow weapons of any kind, no matter how fake they look…

Ah sorry, I was misunderstanding what you were talking about. In the game the “incense” are the self-use items that cause more pokemon to spawn just for the player who used it. Lure Modules are the things that can be place in-world that cause more pokemon to spawn for everyone. The thing is, though, Lure modules can…

Well it depends on how incense works... it increases your individual odds of encountering pokemon, but it doesn’t affect other players around you. If it simply increases encounter rates numerically, then it could cause them to trigger in places that Pokemon catching might be forbidden in. But if it’s a multiplayer…

Does Niantic’s system allow them to effectively deadzone specific locations even when using Incense? I’m sure that it’s something they could do in the future, but I wonder if they already have a system in place that allows that to happen...

I can excuse there not being curly hair as an option in the game simply because there are absolutely no hair style options in the game at all. It sucks for people who like character customization, but people pretty much aren’t missing out any more than anyone else who doesn’t have the same hair style as the characters…

Rather than try to fix it, they just embraced it outright. That way they could use the Varia description to cover multiple functions, and not strictly use it to describe barriers.
