welps it happened, and it aint an onion article.

JULY 13--A motorist who last night slammed his car into a tree in upstate New York told police that he was distracted playing “Pokemon Go” at the time of the crash, according to investigators.

The 28-year-old driver was not seriously injured in the accident, which left his car crumpled. The vehicle, seen in the adjacent police photo, careened off a road in the city of Auburn and struck a tree around 10:45 PM Tuesday.

How do you play Pokemongo while driving? The poke location are not on the road is it? next week helicopter crash lmao

no they drive around looking for hotspots then get out of their cars to trespass.

I saw a couple middle age dudes sitting in a car, looking at their gigantic tablet, trying to find pokemon and hotspots.

This was at 2 in the morning, when I had a phenomenal Chex Mix craving. It was at a Sheetz.

I dont think so. Just get the app, sign in, check it out yourself.

Its free. You have to pay money if you want gold coins for bonus junk.

I think this just got worse, one guy who is the caretaker of a cemetery was saying that he is seeing tons of people coming to the cemetery at all times trying to find them. They leave their trash all over the place, disrupt funerals and are being total jerks.

My "wife" has expressed interest in installing and playing the game on her Android phone.

Any suggestions on how to keep her away from the crazies, spyware and crap? For example using a throwaway gmail account. They can't find where she lives and works through the game, right?

spyware isnt the problem.
As for walking around, tell her to go in a group, during the day, and have at least one person who is NOT playing the game. They are the lookout.

"But honey I thought I was your Picachu "

If she is using the same device, they'll gleam everything.

Just seen a 20 something girl on the news all banged up. Now they are questioning whether they should sue Nintendo for liability. Wait a min. Aren't you, the player the dumb shit that got ran over by a car or caused a car accident? You're the asshole holding the phone in front of your dumb ass face that got hit by the car you brain dead drone!

Fucking people, I swear. There should be NO LIABILITY! YOU ARE LIABLE!

But lets look at the facts. Isn't this just insuring we thin the gene pool? :twisted:

There's also a user agreement when you install this app that Nintendo isn't liable for your stupidity, to say the least. Just like there's a yellow warning sticker on a ladder saying keep away from power lines. Would you place a ladder near power lines? When the fuck are people responsible for their own stupidity?

Meh. While seemingly stupid on the surface (and it is clearly stupid of them) I wonder, through the course of a few days how many people fall off cliffs riding their bikes, or hiking or driving or whatever. Doing it one way is no more stupid than the other I guess.

Hell, a Yelp exec just fell off a cliff - went to move out of someone's way, got tripped up on her own feet, plunged to her death.

This dude was my brother's former coworker, who was known for playing FarmVille at work. He even sent out an email blast to everyone with "FarmVille" substituted for the affected area (outage notice).
