Hey look there's an audible over there whoa are they rare a year it only appears once every other month oh man it ran away it's okay we can just go to audible.com slash stomachs or Tech stomachs - 500 500 and get a 30-day trial with a free audiobook and two audible originals I still wanted to catch the audible hmm I've been playing too much Pokemon go lately yeah I see that there's this revival of Minecraft and everyone's back to playing Minecraft while I'm playing Pokemon go at 1:00 in the morning on a weekday because I
know normal people are in bed by that time and can't defend their gyms for those of you unfamiliar with Pokemon go which is probably not a lot of you because it was huge a couple of years ago and I'd say it's still pretty big now but not as intense as it was when it first came out in its initial release I'm gonna be honest I thought it was pretty lame it didn't seem like there was much to do and I know a lot of you agree because you probably played it for a few weeks or
a few months with your crazy mystic pride and then you dropped it within a year but it was understandable they only had the original 150 Pokemon at first I heard Jim battles were pretty unbalanced and they didn't even have raids until like in a year later I never bothered with it plus I didn't have a good data plan and I wasn't about to upgrade just to play a game I wasn't interested in well now I'm on that unlimited so a couple of weeks ago I decided to try it out for the first time I figured
it would get me out of the house more and make the best of the weather before winter comes which in Canada you didn't know starts in October so I downloaded it and was instantly hooked I've been going outside every day exploring nearby neighborhoods I've discovered parts of my city I didn't know existed because I never had a reason to go to those areas it's even brought me back to areas of my childhood look that's where I took swimming lessons and where that kid taught me the Pokemon glitch I understand what I am I am a
gamer at heart I don't like going out for runs just because it'll make me healthier but if it means being able to hatch these eggs for rare Pokemon then hello Lala Lala I'm down I don't know I just find it difficult to do things or go to places unless there's a real purpose or unless it's a game hey you want to go for a walk and get some hair mmm now I'm good kind of tired and I'll just be a buffet for the most Quito's I'll pass is it the one by the library or the
clock tower you just say library clock tower all right let's go go go it's library I told my friends that I started playing and was pleased to find out that nearly everyone has played before so I convinced everyone to start playing again and Pogo is definitely more fun when you roll out with a squad it's actually kind of scary sometimes I stopped by a park one time on the way home just to roll the gym and there was a Raikou raid happening a legendary Pokemon obviously I couldn't solo it but I thought hmm I wonder
if I wait just a bit maybe some and just then two SUVs pull into the lot each full of people adults mind you you think pokemon goes a kids game nope I see people close to my age range playing this game way more than children okay kids are casuals because they have curfews and don't have their driver's license so this school wad parks beside me surrounds me actually because you can't reach the gym otherwise and they're obviously not here to play on the swings or play hopscotch okay but they're definitely here to raid too I
checked the raid status and there's like nine people in the queue so I hopped my level 25 ass in there with them all instinct all level 40 my attacks only tickled at best and I got carried hard but it's all good I still got that Raikou thanks by playing late at night did lead to some scary moments Claire and I went to claim a nearby gym one night to collect some coins when you defeat a rival gym you can then hold that gym with your own pokemon and for every 10 minutes that they defend that
location you earn one coin for a maximum of a day which equals to about 50 cents which is enough to afford nothing in the shop so you can see why we're out at night like vultures trying to secure our spots I'm sure I have a job and I can just use real money to buy in-game coins and pay to win but for the competition of being able to deny those free 50 coins from other players I got to play that game I'm sorry I got a play anyway we just finished beating the gym and we're
about to put our tanki boys in when all of a sudden two cars pull into the lot not the same ones from earlier and my dumbass first thought was oh sure I hope they're not here to take our gym you're probably playing too much Pokemon go if you're hoping people who go to the park at night are there to deal drugs and not to deny you your opportunity to earn in-game currency I mean I guess drug dealers can play pokemon go to but no they were definitely not here to play pokemon go they step out
of their cars and walk towards each other and start talking I can't make out what they're saying but one guy had a flashlight and he was pointing it rather aggressively towards my car as if we weren't part of the agreement of their meeting or something I who's dis huh I thought I told you to come alone you know they're not with me is my assumption of their conversation and after a few minutes of this they both get into one of the cars and drive out of the lot leaving the other car behind my first instinctual
thought there's a dead body in there let's get the heck out of here so we also pull out of the lot and drive off but as we're leaving the park I realize that they didn't entirely leave and we're just idling down the road I Drive the other way and they start following us alright well now I can head straight home or else they'll know where we live and murder us for being witnesses so I'm just gonna drive aimlessly in whatever direction and maybe they'll leave us alone they eventually turn at an intersection and stop following
us wow that was kind of freaky so how's our tanki boys doing for the next couple of days the car that they left behind was still there what I found out and I don't this is true but apparently your car won't get towed if there's no license plate on it which the car didn't have my assumption is that whoever's car it was was probably visiting their friend and had nowhere to park so they thought this loophole could work I don't know if they got ticketed but they definitely didn't get towed because that car was there
for at least a week I don't know how long Pokemon goes gonna be hype for me but I do really want to make my board game cafe become a polka stop and sadly it seems like nominations are unavailable for my area but if anyone has any hookups yeah let me know what would you look at the time it's vulture o'clock and that gym looks pretty decayed All Right see ya if you have long commutes to work in school or if you're on one of your Pokemon go walks audible is a great way to keep you
