Here about the guy who quit his job to become a full time Pokemon go trainer? Yup it is real.
He was interviewed this morning on Newstalk radio here about his plans, I haven't even played it yet. My sis does though, she already has a bulbasaur, a pidgey and a zubat. Rather get a new Pokemon ds game myself.
I would have maybe given Pokemon Go a try, if they included gen 2. Pokemon Crystal was the first game from the series I've played, so the nostalgia factor would draw me in.
I'm starting a new ME1 playthrough at the moment. Saul Shepard, ruthless colonist adept. It's a combination I've never really considered before. I'm headcanoning that his experiences on Mindoir informed his treatment of Torfan. He's very prejudiced against Batarians, but he's otherwise dedicated to being coldly professional.
I think I might enjoy this. Every other time I tried playing Renegade it just made me cringe with how out of place the character's hostility seemed considering how nice the crew is to them, but this time I'm going to try to make the character merely distant toward the crew, and brutal toward enemies.
I'm tempted to start a Renegade playthrough, I've never been able to really past past Eden Prime because of how much of a jerk the character sounds half the time? Who's more fun as RenShep, Hale or Meer?
Replaying ME1 and just finished Noveria with my Adept / Male Shep / Spacer / War Hero. Forgot how catty Ashley was to Liara if you accidentally romance them both. I still like her character, but at least Liara acted like a grown up about the entire thing and didn't throw a wobbly.
So I booted up my Ds lite this evening, by pure luck I found a back-up adapter pack I bought from Gamestop years,ago, just need 4 AAA batteries to power it (stole em from remotes lying around) I played some Pokemon Soul Silver, weirdly enough it seems that I must have abandoned my playthrough of that years ago as my last save was in 2012 and I only earned 3 badges. I thought I finished that game or maybe I did and deleted it *shrugs*
Once I ran into some wild pokemon and the battle music kicked in I got hooked again. 
Was in the middle of a gym battle, clinging on. Thought I'd see it out before the back-up pack died so I could then save it. I didn't.
Been jonesing since.
On the plus side I'll be shopping on Thursday, can buy a replacement then. Struggly struggles.

Meer. I got a kick out of his delivery for a majority of the renegade lines. IMO, Meer just sounds better all round. Hale's voice was mostly flat and emotionless to my ears. She did get a little better with each game, but not enough for me to enjoy playing femshep. There are very few instances where I prefer Hale's delivery over Meer's.
Has anyone played Always Sometimes Monsters yet? I just downloaded it on a suggestion from my brother. It starts great, but quickly became tedious to me. I normally trust his judgment, so I'm wondering if I did something wrong.....
I have and oh boy, do I wish I haven't. I spent half of the game wanting a 'move on with my life' option for the protagonist. The other half was being super tired by the money grinding mechanic. Most choices do not really matter, and one (out of 4) of those that do is not about making a choice with your character, but about shaping the motivations of the love interest, which was really at odds with how an RPG should work.
Hear about that teenager who got killed playing Pokemon Go? True story.
I know you said "one of the," but are we talking Skyrim UI here? I swear, that game should be the "don't do this" menu standard.

I'd also include FO4 on that list. I hope they make a SkyUI equivalent soon.
Pokemon Go released picture of it's team leaders (before hand they were just outlines):
Candela and Spark were pretty much what I was expecting, but Blanche wasn't, I thought she (I think) would be nerdy guy with glasses and dark hair Happy with Candela for team Valor anyways.

As a non-Pokemon Go-er, what do the different teams mean?

who you get to arbitrarily dislike

Taking gyms to your team, strengthening those that your team already has and conquering one's that other teams have. Also some companionship with others of same team and rivalry against those of different teams, depends on person though, I have seen mostly just trash-talking on web.
As a non-Pokemon Go-er, what do the different teams mean?
I don't play it either, but I have read a lot about it. At a certain level, you are required by the game to pick a team if you want to go on, you have no choice. The teams don't really mean anything by themselves, you don't get any special or different perks from being red over being blue or yellow. As far as I know, the teams are only in regard to fighting over gyms.
I'm not sure how much of normal Pokemon you're familiar with, but in the normal games, you are a new pokemon trainer tasked with some research project by the professor of that game, who teaches you the basics. After that, you're sent out into the world to catch ('em all!) and train your various pokemon through battles with other wild pokemon. There are different geographical regions, all with their own gym and gym leader, some uber pokemon trainer. Part of the games is working your way to these gyms and battling these gym leaders (NPCs in the games).
In Pokemon Go, there are landmarks and such that are designated as gyms, such as the White House. I think (not entirely sure on this point) an un-captured gym will have a/some pokemon there, waiting for someone to come along. So the player wanders over there, battles the pokemon, and takes over that gym, after which they station their own pokemon there to defend the gym from newcomers. After that point, it's a battle to maintain control over the gym.
This is where the teams come into play. If a player on team red takes a gym, then other reds can help defend it from being taken over. If it's not defended, and a mass of blues comes over to fight, well that gym will fall to the blues.
The main question I have is whether the player has to participate in all of this team business, or of they can just ignore it and continue to collect, level, and battle pokemon. I'm not really into PvP components in games.
Similarly, World of Warcraft has a pet battle system. There are NPCs you can battle for various rewards, but you can also do PvP battles; I tend to avoid these unless I really have to do them, like for an achievement. Winning 250 PvP matches has the reward of another pet, so I did those. Winning 1000 PvP matches has the reward of an in-game title "Trainer Character Name," which I don't care about, so I won't bother with that one.
I found a Gengar today but I couldn't catch it. Nailed it with 3 Pokeballs but it kept leaping out after one shake and then ran away. I don't know if it has to do with my level or if those things are just jerks, but I'm super bummed regardless. I thought we were bros, man!
I still haven't caught an Evee.

There is no Pokemon's on free (grey) gyms, so you can just freely put yours there and claim it to your team.
You don't have to battle gyms at all if you don't want to. You might not need to even pick a team either, I'm not completely sure though, since it only gives you option to choose one when you are lvl 5 (or above) and click a gym.
Trailer of the game seemed to tease about PvP without gyms as well so maybe that's another battling element that is going to be in the game in future. There is no non-PvP battles though, since you don't battle Pokemons to catch them like in games (instead you throw Pokeballs) nor there is NPCs to battle.
I still haven't caught an Evee.
I can't catch anything in my area. Mind you, I don't actually have the game, and never will, but this is actually a good thing, because people would probably die if they went exploring too far off the beaten path from where I live.
I also had the great fun of having to deal with a potential international incident. Strange as it may be, but heavily armed border crossings do NOT make good pokemon gyms.
Crazy, I know.
I still haven't caught an Evee.
They're pretty common I think and they're easy to catch. I caught 2 just today.
Gengar I'm guessing is way rarer/harder to catch since the one I saw had a red circle instead of a green one during the little catching minigame.

I actually caught one this evening. I went out to pick dinner up at a local sandwich place, and I discovered that not only were there three pokestops in the same relatively little radius, there were tons of pokemon in the same place.
I caught about eight new ones, including a snorlax.
