So I've been targeting gyms now that I have a few 800 CP Pokemon. You get 10 Pokecoins by clicking the shield in the top right of the shop when you set your Pokemon to protect a gym. I've only defended a single gym so far, but I've read that you can defend up to 10 gyms though for 100 Pokecoins...

Screenshot? Never seen that.

Going back and reading the first two pages of this thread is interesting, everyone was definitely interested, but only Tuco sarcastically predicted the fact that this game would become a world-wide cultural phenomenon over opening weekend.

Probably. I could see upticks for feature updates and more Pokemon, but not to the levels of release week. Like any craze, it'll die down eventually and it's up to Niantic to keep the updates flowing to keep people interested. Welcome to the new wave of MMOGs.

Speaking of interactions, yesterday walking around a mall and the city I saw a ton of people playing, but didn't strike up conversations with them. Mainly smiles and knowing nods to those whose eyes weren't glued to their phones.

It also depends on what Nintendo does next. Pokemon Go was a great choice for Nintendo's first smartphone game given Ingress as the backbone. But I'm not exactly sure how their other IPs fit into smartphones. Whatever Mario game they come up with will undoubtedly sell. But there are already...

Trading seems like the next feature to be added. Gyms looks like they'll be getting more features in the future too, possibly as trade centers. They're also looking into advanced AR devices for the game. Should be a promising future. Pokémon Go will get Pokémon trading - Tech Insider

Server stability, in terms of staying live, has been better today at least

$1 for 30 minutes of advertising to 8-35 yr olds, or 6 hrs for $10 (1200 coins for $10, 100 coins per lure). Doesn't actually sound terrible if your business is near a Pokestop. But I wouldn't use a lure on a slow weekday afternoon to try to bring people in. Also, I (personally) haven't yet...

Damn. That sucks. How many Razz Berries did you toss at him?

Tried it in an airport and the Pokemon rates were nonexistent, but there were a lot of Pokestops and a few gyms in the airport. Someone put a module on a stop though, so I did catch a few, but walking around got me zero Pokemon for some reason.

That kinda sucks, but is also kinda nice in that you don't have to go too out of your way to get a variety of Pokemon if they just naturally get more diverse as you level.

Also, if you're just getting started and are catching a lot of Pidgey and Ratata, don't transfer the extras to the Prof right away. At level 9 and 10, you'll get an a Lucky Egg which can be used for double xp. Evolving Pidgey and Ratata only takes 12 candy, and the level boost in saving evolves...

Seems to me that in a few weeks, everyone will have saturated on their local Pokemon. A lot of the Pokemon in my immediate area are water type living near a harbor, so I was thinking it'd be nice to have an electric type to take them out. Seems like the only reliable way to do that would be to...

Passed by a Gyrados guarding a gym last night. Need 400 Magikarp candy to evolve one. Can't believe someone's already caught 100 Magikarp.

Benjen certainly didn't tell Bran not to cross the Wall, just that he himself couldn't. Also, regarding the tunnel that Bran, Meera, Hodor, and Jojen crossed through, in the book there's a gate that only a member of the Night's Watch can open (with their oath). They didn't show it in the show...

Carice van Houten's Twitter: "Awkward farewell presents"

Why include it in any scene if it's not important yet? What will likely happen is that Sam will read something about a magical horn north of the Wall and then remember that he found and kept a horn of the same description buried with the dragon glass. He'll make a joke like "good thing I haven't...

That might've been the second time they talked about the Mad King then, because I thought you were referring to them talking about it when they first met last season.

And Tyrion's already tempered her actions. When they were talking during the siege, she wanted to burn all of the Masters, but Tyrion "suggested another approach" which was to just burn one and take their ships.

Damn. That's pretty amazing. Hard to tell the difference between CG armies and composited armies (i.e. one small group of people charging from multiple locations in a frame and then putting those shots together).

I figured it out. Her grand plan is to break the wheel, but Dany showed her hand when talking to Daario, who's keeping the peace while Mereen elects a new leader. Forget about naming Jon as her successor, she's bringing Democracy to Westeros, and he's already winning the popular vote.

I was going to respond about the prophecy, but the show and book are different. Full quote is: But in the show, Mirri Maz Duur doesn't say "When your womb quickens again, and you bear a living child".

All of those scenes with Walder Frey in it were from the Twins.

Yep, Kevan was there. Eight deaths by Cersei this episode, eleven overall, and I thought only three were supposed to die: Kevan Lancel Mace Tyrell Margery Loras High Sparrow Pycelle (through Qyburn's birds) Tommen (though technically suicide) And then Walder Frey and his two...

Not to mention the Tyrells were the ones feeding King's Landing, House Lannister is broke, and Jaime just told the Freys to F off. Cersei isn't going to be sitting on that throne for very long.

Given the "little brother" prophecy, it'll either be Jaime or Tyrion. Or Arya wearing either of their faces.

I know you meant Tyrion, but there's actual two Hands of the Queen: Qyburn was wearing a hand pin when he was crowning Cersei.

A couple of behind the scenes vids posted to YouTube. Some foreshadowing for the next season too like tension between Jon and Sansa and between Jaime and Cersei.

It'll probably happen. I don't see how you can misinterpret "we'll meet again". She saw Jon in the flames retaking Winterfell when she originally thought it was Stannis. Maybe Arya reunites with the Hound, BWB, and Melisandre and they all travel to Winterfell together. Who knows at this point.

Not that it'll happen, but he could start with the Glovers and Manderly's

I'm just glad that Jon didn't let Davos kill Melisandre, she did give him a rez after all. She'll just wander south until she hooks up with Thoros, Beric, and the Hound, and end right back in the North to help fight the White Walkers. Maybe Davos will kill her then.

I don't think the kids had anything in particular against Pycelle. Pycelle just had to go since he'd been opposing Cersei recently, and I read the scene as more of Qyburn showing his own power and influence over the children. He probably laced their sweets with some of what he gave the Mountain...

That's true, I forgot that Damphair does CPR in the books. But in the show, he just let Euron lay there until he eventually spit out the water himself.

I can kinda ignore the teleporting when it's between episodes, so Littlefinger never bothered me. But Varys going from Dorne to being on the boats in Dragon's Bay was a little jarring. Also, those dragons can fly from Essos to Westeros without sleeping? Doesn't seem like they can fit in any...

I'm kinda glad they kept Bran north of the wall. Poor Meera though has to drag him around without any help though. Either that or she ends up building a house around that weirwood. Also, someone was talking about religions earlier, and this episode kinda proves that the Seven have absolutely...

Arya confirmed no one, her time in Braavos wasn't for nothing

While it would be an interesting conflict, it definitely won't happen this season as it'll need a lot of build up. The only followers of R'hllor in Westeros (that we know of) are Thoros, Beric, and the Brothers Without Banners. Let's say Tommen/High Sparrow/Cersei die for the finale and...

Speaking of locking people away, I could also see them go that route with the High Sparrow. They don't want to make a martyr of him, so maybe they'll just lock him away for treason.

I like this one. We haven't seen Arya for an episode now, given travel time in this show and the fact that she's heading to Westeros, she could make it to the Freys. I don't think she has the power to change faces, but then again who knows with this show, maybe she can. Just to throw Astro a...
