Power Pill is currently in development and soon to be released multitouch iPhone game developed by Phil Fish (Polytron) and Alec Holowka (Infinite Ammo). You play a pill, a very powerful pill which needs aid routing through bodies tunnels avoiding touching walls and destroying things in the way. Phil has recently done a presentation at Pecha Kucha night and posted below slides of the presentation. If you are like me, looking at the slides, thinking this is going to be one awesome game. I am very impressed especially considering that the game will also include a level creator. Phil mentions in his presentation (video below) that the actual game is still in development as the first task was to complete the level creator which would allow them to build the game itself. Watch the video for more info and see the wonderful presentation slides Phil put together.

The winner of the Pokémon Go Championship grand finals in Orlando was stripped of their title, allegedly for 'unsportsmanlike conduct' during their victory celebration. The celebration involved the winner removing their headset, standing up, and pumping their fists before shaking hands with their opponent. Many believe the ruling was excessive and that winner's victory celebration was tame compared to celebrations by winners in other competitive games.
There are people that get offended seeing others just enjoying a moment, or enjoying a hobby, or just having fun.
Can someone explain to me what is so problematic with this? I watched video multiple times and all I see dude having bit of celebration. None of his actions felt aggressive or seem like they symbolize anything... Like winning sure deserves bit of celebration like that. I mean who wants to live in the world where you aren't allowed to be excited or have bit of burst of happiness when you win? Like was he supposed to act like emotionless robot? He should be allowed to have bit of his victory "hell yeah" moment, even if it is before shaking hands with opponent. Like it is not like he didn't shake hands or whatnot. And it is not like he is like some super serious government official to have to stick to protocol to a letter. This whole thing is just ridiculous.
These new paid games, game trials and “buy once, play anywhere” pricing are coming to Play.
