Just thought it might be worth having a thread about this phenomenon. I don't play, but my son, who is 7, is chomping at the bit to get me to download it.
Just in the past week, there have been a number of different stories about it including...
Servers crashing under demand

2 men falling down a cliff while playing

Stampedes of players in Central Park

Players finding dead bodies

* Wasn't sure whether this should be a thread in Arts & Entertainment or not, since some of the stories extend well beyond that. Anyway, mods, feel free to move it if it is inappropriate here.
