I’d just turned in yesterday evening, when I heard voices outside the house. Mrs L went out to investigate. Apparently, there was a Pokémon bat in our Buddleia. Oh, great. Just what we need; a bunch of kids poking about making a noise late at night in our flower beds.
Now it seems the servers are crashing.
Pokémon Go servers appear to have crashed, leaving millions unable to play the augmented reality game.
Users across Europe and the US have complained they are unable to access the game, or that it is regularly freezing.
Players began to report problems with the game shortly after 2pm.
Well, if it means we get left in peace, that’s no bad thing…
The pros and cons of the internet. Instant communication, information literally at our fingertips. The ability of idiots to be idiots infinitely more effectively.
Is that Pokemon, you are talking about, or Dickie Doubleday?
It’s the way they wander around, eyes locked on dumbphone screen that makes me wonder when the first real fatalities will occur.
It’s the same as any new invention – used properly, you’ll get a lot of fun out of it. Used by idiots, disaster looms.
