Doesn't work for me. Some error "can't parse APK" or something.

I have a mate who had the same error, he reckoned it hadn't downloaded properly, apparently he just waited a while and now he's grand

I tried downloading it twice. I'll wait and try again.

Mine's fine... Haven't left the couch, already caught seven or eight Pokemon... Pikachu is nearby!

I restarted today with a Google account, my Pokemon Trainer Club account got locked out due to server issues. Neeeearly at lv5, probably going to join the red team. Evolved my pidgey which was cool.

Bit late to the party but Star Wars Battlefront is hella fun so far.

They best put subtitles in it.

Was completely unplayable.

In case anyone missed the news, No Man's Sky went gold last week.

It feels like something I should be excited about, which is confusing cos I've still very little idea what the game is actually about other than being spacey and colourful.

Just installed this on my iPad for some nostalgia, but how did you catch all those Pokemon without leaving your couch? Mine seems to want me to start walking around the neighbourhood to find any?

I must've caught eight or nine last night, all from the comfort of my own couch... Went out and caught loads more out in the real world today...

It's a drag that you can only battle when you're physically right next to a gym location, that sucks... I can see three rival gyms from my place but I can't fight from home!?! It's silly...

Do yous not ingress? Portals seem to be PoGo locations

I signed up but never got an invite...

It seems that you have to leave your Pokemon at the gym and they attempt to guard it in your absence... That's the only way to earn coins?

My CPs are so low I'm gonna need to do some serious levelling up before I try that...

Managed to get a few new pocket monsters sitting in my mates flat.
Not sure what's a high CP, got a koffing with 42 and Shellder at 53. Everything else is low teens.

I've had quite a few with CPs up in the hundreds and I got a Magneton with a CP of 282!?!

Do yous not ingress? Portals seem to be PoGo locations

Well yes... This is how Niantic are finally making money from Ingress and all the data they collected.

Good fun, a lot trickier to catch today... So many people out playing, I felt like one of the zombie horde... Well handy getting around on the bike...

I think I'll leave this guy at a gym tomorrow so he can do battle...

Nintendo shares are going batshit. Up 10% on Friday and rocketed 23pc this morning - wtf IS this game?!

Makes me wonder just how good it could have been if they'd actually put some of their own development effort into it. Can't help thinking it could have been so much more.

Of course, they may do now.
