    The Night Of

    I finally got around to watching it and thought it was great. I don't need a masterful plot anymore, just something that keeps me captivated for the duration.

    That sounds more like you've been soft banned to me. That's about what happened when I was.

    Just wanted to bump this if anyone missed it. I finally got around to finishing it, and it was fucking phenomenal. It really should be titled "Hard Knocks: The Season." It probably helps that the Cardinals I think are one of those teams that it's easy for other fanbases to root for. I want...

    It crashes when you try to catch a Pokemon (crashes after hit). The solution is to open Pokemon Go, then go to the Bluestacks settings and remove your Google account. Not sure why, but it makes it kind of not worth it to use. I haven't found a single Eevee, but apparently when you evolve if...

    I think this year I've finally learned my lesson and won't watch any preseason games. Well, outside of whatever I get shown on Hard Knocks.

    That's just a problem in general. I had to force close the app like 4 times trying to catch a Charmander. Never got it, as it'd crash every time on the capture part.

    Working for me. Just hit the Santa Monica pier, where there was an Electabuzz, and Squirtle at the same time. Squirtle disappeared on me before I could get it though.

    I'm confused, is this surprising to you, that there'd be less people playing on a Wednesday night than a weekend? As for the GPS spoofing, you're absolutely correct. It's not very exciting playing on a PC (although, it's still fun catching new ones). But as I stated a few times already, it's...

    Got soft banned for about 3 hours from the GPS spoofing. I guess going from Central Park to California in an hour wasn't realistic (got carried away in Central Park, but wanted to see if I could play with my wife tonight...didn't work). Going to try Los Angeles. Madame Tussauds has 3 right...

    Nice video. Looks like I may need to find a golf course for dragon Pokemon. I think the most exciting part of that is just thinking about a year or two in the future. I feel like gaming over the next decade is going to be crazy fucking awesome.

    I gave this a shot at lunch using the location in central park that the YouTube guy did. It works pretty well, but it's kind of touchy. Like, when I first load in I can generally get the Pokestops, but after a while they just don't load. It's possible this is just due to general overloading...

    I think I've posted it before, but I switched to making my own. 200mg caffeine pill, and Bulk Supplements creatine and beta alanine. All ordered off Amazon, and probably 1/3 of the cost of a premade PWO. Once I run out of the creatine and beta alanine, I'll probably just go with the caffeine...

    I have a hard time buying the Seahawks as #1. If not for Palmer's age, I'd give the Cardinals the edge as the top team in the division. Plus, the Eagles have Wentz now, so they're clearly #1 for the foreseeable future.

    It would solve the problems people like myself have, where I live in too rural an area to make it fun. I can farm up the Pokestops for items, and then go out around town to actually catch stuff. Not sure it's worth my time or not, but it's a thought.

    The gym part is one thing, but just the fact that I can barely play the "catching" part of the game due to geography while some people can sit at work hitting a Pokestop every 5 minutes is kind of a buzz kill. It's like lucky geography to win, instead of pay to win (or rather, unlucky...

    So I think my turn off with this game, especially as someone who min/maxes a lot, is that geography determines your gaming experience. Someone who just happens to live or work next to a Pokestop has a massively different (and I'd say more fun) gaming experience than someone who has to travel a...

    Weird, the only app that actually had any access to my Google account was Pocket Mortys. I guess on Android shit is locked tight, and even Pok?mon doesn't actually have access.

    I imagine they didn't think this would be even remotely as popular as it has been. It's kind of defied everything I know about video games, apps, and people.

    My mom is obsessed with this game. I feel like she's getting back at me for my EQ teenage years. I finally decided to give it a shot, but my work seems completely devoid of the Pokemons. I think because it's a military base and my building is very isolated. I see lots of people catching crap...

    It'll be a fad unless they find something else to do sometime this week. If not, people will drop it in a hurry. Casual people aren't just going to keep wandering their neighborhoods just for new Pok?mon.

    Yeah, I'm baffled, especially at how quickly it took off. My mom posted a picture of her standing in the rain in the middle of the night trying to catch a Pokemon. And then her 50+ year old friends started commenting about the weird shit they've been doing. I loaded it up and I have no clue...

    I considered something like Steam Link, with 2 controllers so we could just use the TV, but it sounds like the wireless on it is kind of shit. Plus, I'm not sure how coop works on a lot of games if you're trying to play with a single PC/Steam account.

    Are they actually co-op though? I'd guess Borderlands is (assuming it's like Borderlands 1/2?), but the others I can't find anything mentioning it. On my short list of possibilities is Trine 1/2/3, Portal 2, Borderlands 2, Castle Crashers, and any of the Lego games. I'm thinking Diablo 3 and...

    Could be tendonosis. Most people who think they have tendonitis actually have tendonosis (especially weight lifters). And tendonosis requires some kind of activation of the tendon to help heal. Doing some light weight work might be what you need.

    Anyone got any good recommendations for a game to play with my wife, who is not a gamer at all? Stardew kind of looks like something that might be close, but a little boring. I picked up Subnautica during the sale and if that had coop, it might be decent.

    Is he actually on a roster right now? A 4 game ban seems kind of unnecessary as I don't see any teams actually signing him. His NFL career is over.
