I recently discovered a rather amusing list, that seems reminiscent of the “Evil Overlord” list. Instead of tips for the villain, however, it is tips for the poor soul who gets the role of “true love” of the story.
As with the Evil Overlord list, the items listed are in response to frequently used plot devices that seem a bit… fixable.
Enjoy.

As you may recall, last week I briefly discussed “Pokemon Go.” I also mentioned that I expected the hype to start decreasing by today. I do not think it has happened. There has been enough news and enough interesting things pertaining to the game that it has been kept in the public’s eye for this week. I will continue to watch this phenomenon next week.
Have a lovely Sunday.

If you have been on any social media platform at all within the last 72 hours, you are probably aware that there is something called “Pokemon Go” that was just recently released.
For those of you who have been wondering what it is: It is a video game for mobile devices that interacts with the real world, and with real world movement.
From what I have gathered from a cursory overview, the Pokemon franchise is a set of games wherein players try to “capture” wild pokemon (cute animated monsters). The player then trains them to fight.
Also from what I understand, it is not nearly as amoral as that description makes it sound.
This new iteration is enabling (and requiring) real-life, real-world interaction in order to make the game work. In order to find wild pokemon, players need to walk around the real world. The ap has an augmented reality feature, which thereby makes the pokemon appear in particular places. Players may also need to use physical movement in order to capture the pokemon. Also, the locations are the same for everybody. Thus, there are apparently “game-critical” stations that have been receiving a fair bit of pedestrian traffic recently.
In all, it is an interesting phenomenon. I expect the hype to start dying down by next week, but as this franchise is children-friendly, I expect this to be one of the more talked about and utilized summer activities.
Have a lovely Sunday.

I am sure you are aware of the existence of “scam emails.”
One person decided to make a series devoted to his replies to such scammers. This is the first. I thought it worth watching.
Enjoy.

I hope you are having an excellent Sunday.
If you are bored, I have a solution for you.
The same author (and publisher) of the book I mentioned a few days ago have another “first-in-a-series’ book available for free. This one is a sci-fi war story. It is called “On Basilisk Station“, and it is the first of the “Honor Harrington” series.
Enjoy.

Sometimes, I continue to be completely baffled by your world.
Seriously. Where else would come up with the idea for “mac-n-cheetos“?
Have a lovely day. Please try not to get a heart-attack from your world’s food options.

I was recently reminded of a marvelous fantasy series. The first book is available for free from the publisher’s website and Amazon.
It is called “Oath of Swords“, and I highly recommend it. The series does a fantastic job of setting up a world, and working within its bounds. It is excellent fiction.
And as it is officially two days into Summer, now is at least as good a time as any.
Enjoy.

Today’s post is a friendly public service reminder that the newest Pixar movie, Finding Dory, is now out in theaters.
If you are looking for something to do this weekend, that might be worthwhile.
Have a lovely Saturday.

I was recently informed of a website that will tell you how much of a particular food or drink you must consume before you will suffer a fatal caffeine overdose.
It is rather amusing, in a peculiar sort of way. You can find, for example, that it takes over 10,000 Hershey’s Kisses to cause a caffeine fatality for someone of average female weight.
It does only discuss foods that are known to have caffeine in them; you cannot, for instance, calculate how many bananas-worth of caffeine it would take to kill you.
I hope you have a reasonable Thursday.

For those of you who are fond of the Sherlock series, but who may have not spent as much time on Netflix as I have, I thought I would inform you that currently, the Sherlock New Year’s Special “Abominable Bride” is available for streaming.
Now, enjoy your Thursday.
