Must... have... like button...

Imagine how many thumbs down I would have earned during my entire time at HBG.

Over 9000!!
 
I rarely have anything constructive to reply to posts with, but with an upvote system at least I could show support for others that I otherwise wouldn't have

I really don't see an end in sight for these attacks. We're not successfully attacking the root of the problem, and it's already so widespread that it's not really that viable for us to continue attacking Syria. We're literally just worsening the problem and creating a bigger divide. With that being said I haven't really seen anything that definitively says it was an ISIS attack, (if you have plz link it) but apparently the evidence leads to that.

what if pokemon go was a pokemon game
As a game, it's fun, but I don't particularly find the Gyms to be fun, the only incentive there is that you get currency you'd otherwise have to pay for.

Have some Faith. Nintendo's stock is up like it was in the 80's. Money talks. Support and upgrades are planned. 9 million dollars a day speaks a lot.
 
A friend of mine works at a café, and yesterday they asked her if they knew anyone available to take a job as a cashier.
She suggested me and today, at 2pm they asked me in for an interview (on the same day.) They said "The manager will be in until 10pm so come at any time"
So yeah. It took me about two hours to get everything in order and get clothes picked out. When I arrived he had me fill out an application form and said if all goes well my induction training could come as early as Tuesday.
Ohhh boooy. This all sounds too good to be true for me right now. I really need a job and they're just handing me one without any effort (well, I say without any effort, it was a 50 minute walk to the café and 50 minutes back) and I've been looking for something exactly like this (it's 0 hour contract which sounds bad but I have no obligations until September.)

I'm incredibly grateful. I just hope I survive this month, I've got 4 fish fingers and 1/4 a box of bran flakes until the 27th so I'll have to sell something again it seems, but that's cool cause I'm trying to lighten my load so that in the event I need to move, I can just pick up and go.

Pokemon Go isn't actually a Nintendo game, the stock rose because Nintendo owns a third of the Pokemon IP, so it's not Nintendo's success.

As for the current popularity of the game; Angry Birds was a massive success too, but Rovio made the mistake of believing it would last forever. Pokemon Go is popular as it specifically hits the audience who grew up with Pokemon in the 90s and now have tight social media connections for sharing their nostalgia with friends, once one friend stops playing that's one less reason for that network of friends to continue playing; unless you really care about being the dude who has the gym at your local swimming pool.

All the damage done by the Wii U is reversed. I don't really care about all the details in between. :P

I care about my favorite company making 8 billion in 1 week and 9 million a day. I care about Nintendo finally shutting up Sony and Microsoft in the media for a few weeks. Feels good. People are going outside again. Sony and MS could never accomplish that. USA is losing weight now. :)

The game isn't even a game yet. It's alpha. Imagine if Nintendo tried... I look forward to the NX.

(Google is already rich, so I won't talk about them.)

Smash bros is all you need friend.

Many people have said Wii u's line up is bad but I own more games for my Wii u than for my ps4 and have played my Wii u a hell of a lot more. Smash Bros is great, but I also enjoyed Xenoblade chronicles X, Mario maker and yoshis wolly world.
I could make the exact same argument with the 3ds and ps vita. Nintendo has just trumped them for me this time.
I was a big ps3 fan and played a lot on it, so far ps4 hasn't got enough good content for me.
edit: The PS4 will be getting more good games soon, with FFXV, FFVII Remake, KH3 and Berserk.
