About 
Devil May Cry 5 certainly leaves an impression. What felt like a franchise unable to come back from the brink, now feels like one with a future.

Armed Robbers Tried To Use Pokemon Go To Lure Victims
Pokemon Go has already become a global phenomenon (despite still being in the process of rolling out world wide). It's currently all over social media.
That isn't lost on some of the less enthusiastric about the act of catching Pokemon, and more so luring vulnerable people. In a Facebook post, the O'Fallon Missouri Police Department said that the app had been used to lure victims in by armed robbers. They said:
This morning at approximately 2 am we responded to the report of an Armed Robbery near the intersection of Highway K and Feise Road. We were able to locate four suspects occupying a black BMW a short time later and recover a handgun. These suspects are suspected of multiple Armed Robberies both in St. Louis and St. Charles Counties. It is believed these suspects targeted their victims through the Pokemon Go smart phone application.
This comes on the back of a report of a girl finding a dead body while out looking for Geocached monsters. While the app is admirably trying to get people out of the house, it can be dangerous out there. Why not just stay inside?
