Get Your Game on Wednesday: Pokemon, Of Course

Hello, Gamers! How is the week going for you all? Your usual games newscaster is out, and I have the flu. So, this week will be a laid back collection of games posts I read while laying around in my bed.

Are you playing Pokemon Go? Is everyone but me playing it?

Server issues and other bizarre news such as users finding dead bodies and malicious copies of the APK aside, the sense of community around the game is becoming incredible as people begin organising meet-ups, and socialise with new people.” The game has also led to players finding dead bodies and getting robbed. And, in our white supremacist police state, it is potentially deadly for Black players. Not everyone thinks the game is the bees’ knees either.
