Video Showing The MAYHEM Pokémon GO Is Causing In Montreal Right Now
Guys, I'm not going to lie to you. I'm really, scarily obsessed with Pokémon GO. I adore the game. I play it all the time, I weep when the servers are down, I talk about it all the time, my friends are annoyed of me... Honestly, I'm a little annoyed of me. But I don't care. Pokémon GO is now my life. I've accepted it. It's all good.
Which is why I'm really sad to let you guys know about a little incident that went down in Montreal last night.

We do a pretty great job of that anyway, but let's just be extra diligent. Pokémon GO brings people together like nothing ever has. It's an amazing game to get into, and I don't think anyone wants to see that ruined for a couple of things we can easily fix.
