Snorlax I look up Snorlax free coconut sleeps all day and it's like a fat mess it's a big one yeah thanks friends Pokemon go has had a huge week and we just have to talk about it just a little bit if you've got a question or comment about Pokemon go you obviously do because you've you're playing it right now probably on your other phone who knows anyway make sure you chime in and we'll get to as many questions and/or comments as we can so Sam Jake tell me about your thoughts your passions your dreams your hopes your futures with Pokemon go Oh specifically about Mongo yeah okay no not like not my love my dreams yeah there's another show for that okay what yeah what have you been playing I specifically have not been playing because then I wouldn't do any of my work okay however I went out and two of my friends left the bar to go find Pokemon and then what I'm thinking that was at these gyms is that what they're called yeah just don't you like can't you meet other Pokemon players yes i'm waiting for the first love story to come out of it oh that's definitely happened like it's definitely been like one night pokemon ghost and oh yeah there should be like oh I can't wait till inevitably someone there will be a couple against Mary the hot kids do and then like how did you go okay mom and dad how did you meet well there was a Bulbasaur Central Park your mother just couldn't let it go yeah looks just like that I love blossom and that's how it all worked then you came around five years later hahaha yeah so I I haven't been playing a lot I've seen it I it's not on my phone because like you said I need to have a life I can't be bothered with like you know squirtles and whatnot um and jigglypuffs which is happy take a listen manager kocaman to be put but what about you Jake and I haven't played i downloaded yesterday if you went out and we kind of did like human to pokemon story so yeah we went to do that some people were like really into it we met some people from Italy who like came over and like we're waiting for it to be really we don't have this they don't have to have a very excited but some people like saying there's like a whole community or attitude pretty crazy to see like I tell I think it's something worth appreciating the social phenomenon that it has created right where you have a thing that everyone can play right mostly if you've got a smartphone you can do it you can be a part of the whole party right so I think that is something really kind of special that most games don't really nothin really that was a big thing is that you get out and like it somebody said it gave them something to do while they were like walking around so it's kind of like a walking for walking in your life regularly and seeing a beautiful city like New York that's boring yeah I can't do that can't do that but their branding it as a are like augmented reality but it's not really a are because you have to be in the app all the time well and it's like yeah and you're walking in it needs to be open when you're walking for anything to evolve sure and it only goes into a are when a Pokemon approaches yeah a regular overlay it like a map that Rory show which makes sense i mean kill i think the whole sort of accessibility like most people if two weeks ago if you said hey what's a are they like i have no idea how long about at the very least if this is done anything to educate the public it is that Oh AR this is what it is like whenever I now need to convey that idea that concept to somebody like you did Pokemon go right that's a our chat do you overlay on top of the real world which which i think is pretty cool well I mean what else how long do you think this last let's be honest I same months I think you think we've got a month left I think so okay so I say three and a half weeks we're gonna love it I feel like in two weeks it's not really gonna be like much of a thing I don't know I feel like it's just taking up too much time like it's yeah you know people are leaving work someone got in a car crash I mean miserable awful things happen yeah that stuff's been happening unfortunately and it's kind of evolving i know we we there were some stories yesterday that business owners are paying to like have like the owners of the gyms come to them right but then like I feel like it's interrupting experience you're like the true players in the game they don't have to go and like have to pay to like ketchup okay now that's real bad it's not gonna be good for an item at its and I think like see I think for the next two weeks will over three weeks up to a month we'll have that sort of hangover but then don't forget all the copycat stuff oh yeah like if your developer or mobile developers you've been and you've been even thinking about doing something with a are you're all over it now that I'm rushing to go to that out and coming out get it certified and get it put in the store so I'm excited about that though to see more a our game yeah I mean I'm all down for that okay very cool we got some questions about Pokemon go some comments let's toss it to Mike in the control room alright so Jason and our chat commented on that his wife is 29 and pregnant but it's not stopping her from hunting Pokemon in this game Cesar wants to know what you guys think about the the Pokemon go plus the wristband accessory and Pablo is also asking how how far do you think Pokemon go we'll go yeah I think we answered that last one um I mean personally and I don't want to i wanna be like to go hating on programming because that i think it's i think they kind of cool but I just needed it's at a ten I needed to be like a six yeah it's a little little too much in my favorites that's all maybe I don't know think about real life for a second oh and there's gonna keep it going as long as they're valuing up by Oh millions of dollars yeah yeah they're gonna push it as much as they can yeah even if it dies down there still gonna be putting out updates for it and trying to fix Oh it'll definitely be up there there'll be new features and whatnot what about the risk accessory they're going much about that for I think they're ready like 35 40 bucks but they're on ebay for like three hundred five hundred dollars and essentially it adds like another element to the game all right you know what it does it cuz I'm not super I think it allows you to catch pokemon when your phone is not there see that's actually good that's what it is okay yeah to have something while your phone's not on right or at least not yeah you know open with the app that way be and it looks like a Peruvian so if I kind of like what did you know that Pokemon means pocket monsters what's that yeah pop Pokemon means pocket monsters oh ok i thought it was a Maya I could see that yeah that's pretty cool pretty good the more you know thanks Sam yeah that little nugget of info uh let speaking of nintendo nintendo announced a brand new micro console oh it's so cool i believe the nes is probably older than the both of you which just need a moment of silence for that's really weird anyway um so there was this game system in the 80s and it was called the nes and it was like the first major home console and they're releasing this as a sixty-dollar little device packed in with 30 games this is really cool stuff have you guys played I played the games I mean doesn't that seem like a good deal to get that many games I've a pretty good deal I think like for me you know you look at the games that they're offering its 30 games a lot of that stuff is sort of spread out on the Virtual Console stuff that they've been offering the last couple of years on the Wii the Wii U the DS the 3ds I think it's like a really nice idea to get all that consolidated into one thing another cool thing the the little mini nes has the same port that the wii controller has so you can likely plug in any of those old pro controller or any of those accessories that you might have for Liam will you pop it in there you're good to go it also comes with the original square rectangle nes controller you can buy another one I feel like yeah it's 60 bucks but it's like that $60 like I almost want to call it a stocking stuffer sort of thing it's got the packaging first up and so it's like a lot of stars and graphics and you're like oh I get it this is like at the checkout line at target something like that so I think it's actually a really cool idea you guys are you guys into it I think it's going to be I'm excited for Donkey Kong yeah I think it's gonna be popular do you a lot of my friend to college xiamen oh yeah I'm college gonna put their money on just plug it right into the to it right in the size it's gonna perform and they'll probably release like a yellow one with 30 years and a blue one they'll do that
