  1. Just now, TheBytemaster said:

    IIRC, Pokemon Go has imported a *lot* of data the other Nitanic project, Ingress. I'm not sure how close to the center/gym/whatnot you have to be in Go, but Ingress gave you a good 50-70 feet or so of range to be able to interact with the in-game terrain/objects.

    I liked Ingress, as it wasn't too bad in terms of "points of interest" as node locations. I actually had one of the lakes and a graveyard near me as two such. Too bad it does a number on the battery--I may just go back to being one of the Renagades when I get a new phone.

    I'd suggest a second, standard magnetic disk drive at 1T and bump down the GFX card to at most a 900Ti; you can even get away with a 560Ti if you really wanted to.

    Speaking of pokemon go, my old neighborhood (as defined by the rocky mountain standard "within a one hour drive") is in the news due to a 19 year old playing it found a dead body.

    I actually heard of this from the other forums, but yeah... it's bound to happen.

    That being said; one of the forumites reported that the casino that he works in is apparently considered by PGo as a Gym. See, I like Pokemon, but this is the limit that I go.

  3. Hah. Johnathan Howard's "The Resus Chart". Apparently vampires do exist. (Within the Laundry Files universe, of course.)

     

    If you haven't, you should check up on Howard, both the Laundry Files and the Johannes Cabal series are well worth reading for his natural phelmic English nature with a dry, cutting wit that he extrudes.oh-so-well.
