Getty Images I have visitors arriving from Norway next week and I'm worried that they're just going to ignore me. They might be educated sorts, but I fear they could be in the grip of Pokemon Go, which seems to have infiltrated Norway's highest echelons. As my evidence, might I present Trine Skei Grande? No, she's not Ariana's mom. She is, however, the leader of the Norwegian Liberal Party and she's just been caught playing Pokemon Go during a parliamentary hearing on Wednesda...

At the end of All-Star Comics 13 in 1942, Wonder Woman was made a permanent honorary member of the Justice Society of America... as a secretary. While the lads all went out and fought crime, she had to stay behind doing secretary things. Apparently, this was just "thrilling."It's actually creator William Moulton Marston's fault, according to comics blogger Tim Hanley. He wanted to be the only one to write Wonder Woman, so Gardner Fox, writer of All-Star Comics, had to leave her out of the adventures.Let's block ads! بخوانید...

(Of course, a lot of us felt that way last year after we saw the first "Suicide Squad" trailer and look how that's tued out.)The trailer leans extensively on the relationship between Wonder Woman and Steve Trevor (Chris Pine of "Star Trek Beyond"). And it seems that director Patty Jenkins is making liberal use of slow-motion captures to...

Every Charmander, Nidorino, and Onix. Reddit user ftb_hodor says he's caught 'em all. At least, all the "pocket monsters" that make up the US collection of Pokemon Go, an AR mobile game more popular than dating app Tinder, Facebook Messenger and basically all your other apps.To do that, the level-31 New Yorker had to capture 4,269 Pokemon, hatch 303 more and walk 95 miles, according to Polygon. That's a lot of miles. Pokemon creatures are region-specific, so nasty flying Zubats are that may be common in one part of the country are more elusive in another. Redditor ftb_hodor didn't share exactly how he or she overcame regional differences, but one thing's for sure: filling up that Pokedex is ...

Have you caught them all? Pokemon Go launched last week, and it's a legitimate phenomenon, with people taking "Pokewalks" around their neighborhoods to find the digital monsters and power-ups on their phone. Nintendo and its developer partner, Niantic, have struggled to keep up with demand from players, with server outages and app crashes a frequent occurrence. But that hasn't dampened enthusiasm for the game. It's the first instance where augmented reality, which overlays digital images on top of the real world, has been wedded to a pop culture icon. When not talking about our sad number of Pokemon caught, we also talk about Amazon's Prime Day and what our ideal Prime Day discounted items w...
