I can't deal! This was absolutely hilarious... Justin should hop on the bandwagon until Brian loses interest. If you can't beat 'em, join 'em?

There was more if this but I decided against it but I think I'm going to put it in.

I'm with Justin. Thankfully none of my family have been playing it. I don't have a smart phone, hubby's too busy and my daughter has a new boyfriend who has her interest but I have seen it and it's affects - honestly if people want exercise just go for a walk and look up at the scenery - go for a walk with friends and talk and gossip or whatever. ggrrrrr - phones are the bane of existence - I often just want to grab everyone's phone and turn them off for a while and get back to that little explored social experience of talking face to face with someone......and this game - while I'm sure it's fun but it's also dangerous - heads once again looking down at a phone and not watching where they're going or paying attention to their surroundings - scary shit. My rant for the day......

Your story covers all of that and while the game gives Brian a chance to focus also puts him danger. Oh yeh, I feel Justin's pain......... Nice to revisit the Recovery universe.

Glad to see that you feel Justin's pain.   I"m very tired of this game, but i also do see the good in it.   Although folks are having the strangest crap happen to them because of it.   I mean come on are u nuts, take a look at where you're going and definitely don't go in other folks yards.   i love revisting the Recovery Universe that's the fun thing right, you can always take them out and play with them and then put them away.   thanks for the feedback now back to the original scheduled programming.

funny-  I don't play Pokemon Go but I've heard enough about it that I could appreciate the story
