Get Up and Go!

I guess I'm playing this now.

Get Up and Go!
Pokemon

Naturally, I had to get this game. I played some of the other games and loved them, and already a few days into playing and I can honestly say I enjoy this one.

Now some basic tips and info for those who also take up their smartphones searching for adventure:

1. WATCH WHERE YOU ARE GOING! Don't trespass on private property and risk getting shot.

2. Always play with a friend. It's safe and also it makes the game more fun!

3. Don't be afraid to walk! It's good exercise (that we all should've been doing).

4. Servers will be crashing a LOT! This is what happens when a game of this magnitude is just released. Be patient and know it will get better.

5. Your phone will die a lot. The game will be drawing from wifi and data (depending on which you use), as well as tracking GPS, running as a game, and using your camera. That is a lot of work your little smartphone is having to do.

6. BE CAREFUL WHEN NAMING POKEMON! I'll admit, I enjoy naming some things like "Buttsworth" or "Richard Dixon" but please remember that while we are adults, there will be children playing this game too. Try and be respectful.


And that is all I can really write about on the matter, as it is, you know, a few days old. I do highly recommend the game (It is free to download after all), and it provides a neat new way to interact with your environment.


Good luck!

Toilet Troubles

"So, usually I would never go on a Tinder date but when you are out with girlfriends and a hot Bosnian guy says he wants to hang with you and his friends, you oblige. We head to their apartment and when I realized I may pee my pants if I don't find a bathroom soon. I ask for the bathroom and a friend of my tinder date shows me to it and said in all seriousness that I was not allowed to flush the toilet under ANY circumstances. Having a few drinks--or five--I relieved myself to, nevertheless, flush the toilet. Within seconds, his bathroom was flooded and towels were laid out everywhere to catch the toilet water. To say the least, we were not invited back"
