    Is anyone else but me already sick of the Pokemon go craziness?

    im not against Pokemon. I've owned a few of the games. I like the idea of Pokemon go, but the sheer attention it's getting is purely ridiculous. It's not just on the verge (10 front page articles today) but everywhere. Every site is going nuts over it. You can't go online without a conversation or thread derailment with it. It went from 0 to meme god hood in a day.

    So, when does this settle down. When do we realize that 10 front page article starts to feel like you're manufacturing it's own hype. When do we stop derailing threads all over the Internet with it? Reddit has been terrible. Verge has been terrible, the news sites have been terrible with it.

    lets play, Enjoy the game, but let's stop feeling like we must inject Pokemon go into every aspect of life.

    And yes, I'm old and cantankerous

    Are you just annoyed because they won't allow smartphones in prison?

    That's a shame because prison showers are the best place to catch a Squirtle.

    The world is so serious and scary at the moment, if people running about chasing imaginary animals is helping keeping them sane then go knock yourself out!

    Well that deserves some sort of prize as a first forum post - no introduction or anything about yourself (so Parge has a point); just a big rant about something insignificant.

    Welcome to BTF, I guess.

    Edit: 5,000 posts, hopefully of substance. Woop! :lol:

    The Plebeians need their common form entertainment. Not to my taste for sure but no harm I guess ;) Not to feed the troll but why does it bother you to the point of starting a thread about it...?

    To catch them is my real test. To train them is my cause.

    I got fed up and annoyed with it for the first time today. Bus journey home from work with about 8-10 late teen boys all jizzing over what pokeyourmom cropped up during the journey, neighing like rabid ponies that learned how to ****.
