Now those two should be Today's Moron Champion.

Driving through a nearby shopping area at lunch I saw people camped out at various spots I knew to be Pokestops or Pokegyms. I thought, "I've driving through here countless times and it's the first time I've ever seen kids out being social."

I got some weird looking creature (Pincus?) that had a base CP of 400 today.

This shit is getting out of hand
John Hanke, CEO of Pokemon Go developer Niantic, said the game will include "sponsored locations" in the future, according to an interview with The New York Times earlier this week.

Had to do some driving today, and I saw more kids out "playing" than I've seen in the last decade. Groups everywhere walking down the sidewalks. It was... weird.

I woke up this morning and went for a walk first thing. Hit some stops, grabbed some generic Poke's. Trying to plan for using a lucky egg.

Lots of reports of the game freezing this morning. Happened to me as well.

Best collection of tips I've seen yet

Too bad I hatched my 10km egg early. I'm still level 10. I'm waiting to get near hatching a couple of eggs and evolving to try a power level with a lucky egg.

I was going to ask which team I should choose. I guess Team Valor is not an option.

I picked blue. Actually, the kids and I each picked a team, and of course, we all picked different colors.

Being the adult, I gave up my choice, and then had the girls take turns guessing numbers. Blue team won.

Correct. I got on this morning during my morning walk. But it's been dead since.

From the internet
I wish I could date Pokemon GO's servers
Because then she'd go down on me 5 times a day.

I am envisioning the IT guy getting hammered about all the lost revenue today, and he calmly pulls up the email where he warned the existing servers could handle X amount of load, and the CFO didn't authorize him to add more.

Hit level 11 today. And turns out my gym is a Pokestop, so between climbs and laps I was able to get a bunch of Pokestuff. Didn't count my distance walking/running on the loop, but oh well.
