Cosplayer William “Billy” Morris was on his way to a movie premiere in NYC on Saturday when, planning to cosplay at the event, he hopped onto a train. He probably shouldn’t have taken his fake rifle with him.
After requests from Hiroshima officials, Niantic removed Pokémon, PokéStops and Pokémon Go gyms from Hiroshima Memorial Park before last weekend’s annual ceremony marking the city’s World War II bombing, the AP reports.
16 bit Models was an exhibition held in Akihabara over the weekend. It brought model makers together to pay homage to some of the great games from the 16-bit era (and beyond), and included everything from Street Fighter II to Crazy Taxi to Outrun.
This is only going to give other players stupid ideas.
According to the statistics, a great majority of the player base happens to be female, and that nearly half of all people playing Pokémon GO are somewhere between the ages of 18 and 29.
Like I've been saying, these idiots need to feel some real consequences for their stupidity

Kohei Uchimura is a six-time world champion gymnast, a four-time gold medalist at the Olympics, and, apparently, an aspiring Pokémon trainer. Playing Pokémon Go in different locales can be a great way to accrue a collection of new monsters, but it can also cost you severely. Uchimura reportedly played a bunch after he arrived in Brazil without and it cost him almost $5,000 in data overages.
In early 2014, the company Playdek crowdfunded over $660,000 to make a spiritual successor to Final Fantasy Tactics alongside its creator, Yasumi Matsuno. Two and a half years later, they just can’t seem to stop breaking promises.
What did they think would happen? Any semblance of a community formed over this thing is going to fall apart once legendaries get involved. It's an inevitability. To quote TDK's Joker: "I'll show you, when the chips are down, these... these civilized people? They'll eat each other."
Legendaries are supposed to be the rarest, most unique monsters available in Pokémon Go
; the sorts of creatures you would expect to only show up during special events announced by Niantic. And yet, a couple has unbelievably claimed that Articuno has spawned in Ohio, of all places.
“8000 locust, 2000 crickets, 4000 cockroaches. See you tomorrow night,” was the text Huck Magazine writer Michael Segalov received hours before activists unleashed those exact breeds and quantities of insects inside a Byron burger location in London. The bugs came from activists upset by some recent anti-immigration activities at the chain and their vengeance was swift.
Today, Overwatch cheaters were squashed under Blizzard’s ban hammer. Players who use a “triggerbot,” which shoots for players when their cross-hairs are over an enemy, or an “aimbot,” which aids accuracy, appear to have been banned en masse. “Justice rains from above,” quoth the hero Pharah.
I really liked the HeartGold/SoulSilver remakes of these games, but man, did they ever fuck up the music to this place. Also they got rid of the slot machines and put in that stupid voltorb flip game instead.
In the course of a few weeks, PokémonGo has gone from a mega hit, to a broken game even its most ardent fans cannot defend. This shift in the community is due to mostly one thing: a lack of communication from Niantic.
Given that its first evolutionary form is literally just a bunch of eggs, Exeggutor has always been one of the sillier Pokémon designs in the compendium. But the introduction of Sun and Moon’s new Alola Form
takes things to a whole new level.
The latest issue of Weekly Jump revealed the newest Fusion character with “Gorus,” the Ultimate God born from a Fusion between the ultimate Saiyan Goku and the God of Destruction Beerus.
The second season of Yo-Kai Watch cartoon kicks off today on Disney XD, introducing U.S. viewers to the latest in wearable supernatural tech. And who better to usher in the next generation Yo-kai Watch than a shark in a turtleneck and jeans?
Everything is getting uploaded, including stalwart meatspace occupant Dungeons & Dragons. Today, Roll20, an online “virtual tabletop,” announced its new licensing deal with D&D to offer the pen-and-paper RPG’s original content on their digital platform. Although D&D intellectual property is already accessible on popular digital RPG platform Fantasy Grounds, D&D’s Roll20 collaboration is the latest in the game’s quest for accessibility and social play.
