Pokemon Go F.Yourself

Dear Pokemon Go players. I have news for you if you think you’re really cool and you’re playing the latest in app technology. Are you hell!!! Here are three alternative games to #PokemonGo and how they’re much better.

1, Spectrek.

 This game is basically the same as Pokémon Go but you’re not after Pokemon characters. You’re after ghosts! Why is it better than PoGo? Cos busting makes you feel good!

2, Munzee. 

Check out my munzee page. You can get virtual munzees or get out and look for physical munzees. Yes, they really exist! The latter usually in the form of a QR code you scan with your phone using the munzee app. (Go ahead, dload it and scan mine 😉 Each munzee holds its own value and you earn virtual rewards for progressing through the game. You can even own virtual dogs called Rovers, which can travel the world going from player to player. Ten times better than Pokemon Go!

3 Geocaching. 

The grand daddy of all GPS based games. This has been around since the year 2000 (shows how slow PoGo has been in development doesn’t it!) . Use your geocaching app to locate REAL physical containers of various sizes left by others. Sign and date the logbooks you find in each. The larger the cache, the more likely it is to contain little keepsakes you can trade ( Making it 100 times better than Pokemon Go). Find and hide trackables items other players will move around the world for you. I have one that’s currently on its 12000th mile!! 

Enjoy…!

Watch “The Girl With All The Gifts – Official Trailer – Official Warner Bros. UK” on YouTube – the book is awesome. A nice new take on the Zompocalyse genre!

Brexit Chart

Posted by Jam on June 24, 2016
Posted in: Uncategorized. Tagged: Brexit, chart, in, Leave, map, out, Stay, votes, voting.

It appears the Leave campaigners have managed to pull in more voted than Stay. The margin was astoundingly low at 1.9 per cent, equating to approximately 1.4 million votes. Here is a graph on how people voted across different British regions.

There has been an outburst of insults across the web today from the 48.1% of Stay voters, so much so I have logged out of Facebook as it’s depressing to be referred to as idiotic, racist, bigoted, hateful, foolish, stupid, c words, f words, and other horrible things as I consider myself a loving gentle person , who makes daft videos and photos to bring a smile to a person’s day. A martyr to the web design industry as I’ve never charged extortionate monthly fees like others. Charitable, caring, and friendly.
So maybe these potty mouthed voters should be asking themselves, ‘why didn’t they do anything to try and change my mind to vote IN? ‘

Grow up!

Time Capsule

Posted by Jam on June 20, 2016
Posted in: Uncategorized. Tagged: geocaching, time capsule.

I enjoy geocaching but I compiled and hid my first ever time capsule today. It’s been hidden within the fabrication of a building so with any luck won’t be discovered unless severe renovation work is carried out in the area. Written upon it twice is the request it isn’t open until 2045. I should be long gone by then, at least in the retirement sense. It’s only a small tin box about the size of them petty cash boxes you can get.

image

It already look aged hehe. Within it is a few trading card packs, some photos of the work area, snips from an Argos catalogue showing what our technology looks like here in 2016, and a memory stick containing more photos and video clips from over the past couple of years. It’s all sealed up airtight and wrapped in a cloth to stop too much dust settling on it. Really keen to do a couple more elsewhere. We shall see…

EU Referendumb

Posted by Jam on June 16, 2016
Posted in: Uncategorized. Tagged: Border Control, Brexit, Economy, EU, Leave, Opinion Poll, Referendum, Stay.

I’ve been visiting this site over the past couple of weeks to see how the opinion poll are going towards the EU Referendum. For the first time during my visits I see the Leave voters are out ahead by just 3%.

image

Things are beginning to get much more intense between the two factions. Even Bob Geldof has had a pop at Nigel Garage as his Fishing boat flotilla made its way down the Thames as demonstration against how EU membership has damaged the British fishing trade. Makes a refreshing change from border control and economy, they seem to be the two top vexations from either side. Just a week to go now. If anyone else wishes to visit the above site click HERE

Fighting Fantasy Quest is planned to hit  Kick-started soon, a tabletop version of what appears to be based on The Warlock Of Firetop Mountain … the first ever Fighting Fantasy book of the long running and globally successful series of role play game books created by Steve Jackson and Ian Livingstone.
