That's the thing, it is stupidly simple but there's something really exciting about walking down the street with your phone out like a pokedex waiting for things to pop up.

Last time that happened I got arrested.

Holy christ the battery drain on Pokemon Go is atrocious! In the time it took me to get some lunch from Tesco (about 15 minutes) my battery went from 55% to 9%.

[Bisset]

I haven't found it to be that bad, a 40 minute walk at work (plus catching, pokestops etc) drained just shy of 30%

I say not that bad, that's still pretty bad.

I hadn't turned on the battery saver thing, but still, that's awful. This is with AR off, and one Pokestop visited (a pub, incidentally).

Hoping to get onto the PTR server at some point today. I was going to wait until actual release to play Ana but she looks so much fun to play.

[VizardAmata]

I personally can't wait for the D.Va and Zenyatta buffs! Ana looks cool but I am an awful sniper.

[VizardAmata]

Holy crap the buff has made Zenyatta sooo much more playable! <3

Similar with McCree. I don't feel completely useless unless I'm next to somebody now. I'm still useless because I can't aim to save my life, but still.

I feel like I'm the only person not playing Pokemon Go.

I grabbed it at first but after about 2 days decided it wasn't really for me. It's not an attempt to be edgy it just wasn't doing it. I don't like walking around with my phone in my hand because I feel like you might as well have a giant pulsating sign over your head saying "mug me". Plus there is literally no mobile internet where I live and I didn't want to only play when I'm connected to the wifi in my house. Also my phone contract has a data limit and I didn't want to use it all up on Pokemon in case I suddenly needed it to send an email or check a map when I'm out and about.

World of Warcraft prepatch is in.

I literally have under 2 pages of abilities.

This is amazing.

My rotation was already nothing.

Ah I should probably take a wee looksee at it. Interested in the Shadow Priest changes.

Undertale got released on Linux. Initial impression is that it's a damn good game. Currently playing as a pacifist and enjoying every minute.

I'm not feeling it tbh. I can see why everyone loves it, it is pretty much the dream you had as a kid watching Pokemon on Saturday mornings. But as a game, it's bare bones and not actually that great. Plus there's barely any Pokestops or Gyms near me.

Why does my Subtlety Rogue now only have about 2 attacks? Am I going to have to start properly using Shadow Dance? Ah balls...
