I am a gamer, there’s no denying it. Mostly on my (t)rusty PC, but I also have an Xbox360 and a 3DS. I might post some of my experiences in gaming in this category.

I used Pokemon Go to recharge the battery in between sessions, catching loads of pokemon. Mostly Weedles, Pidgeys and Rattata’s. Because I was in a statistical mood due to my thesis, I decided to keep track of evolutions, to see whether I could discover some statistical facts of the...
