Texas Video Game Museum Opens New Pokemon Exhibit
If you’re a millennial, there’s a good chance you grew up with a Pokemon card obsession. I did. I hung out with my next-door neighbor Stephen for hours, admiring our cards, trading, and playing Pokemon. Don’t even get me started on our excitement when they released the Gameboy game. We were ALL about it. I still remember using the little light attachment on my Gameboy so I could play after my parents tucked me into bed at night. The 90s were wild.

The National Videogame Museum in Frisco, Texas just added a new Pokemon exhibit that gives big-time collectors a chance to show off their rare cards to the public, instead of letting them collect dust in a box somewhere. The exhibit rotates between collections and features trading cards, video games, and other rare memorabilia. It looks like a fun place to spend the afternoon reminiscing on the good old days.

Tickets for the exhibit are only $10 for kids and $12 for adults AND it’s open 7 days a week. It looks like I have an excuse to go to Frisco, Texas now…what about you? I’ll fill up my tank and scoop ya! Road trip, son!

The overseas death of a U.S. Army soldier from Central Texas is under investigation, the Department of Defense announced Wednesday.
Sgt. Devin A. Seibel, 26, of the Waco suburb of Robinson, died Sunday in a “training‑related incident” at Erbil Airbase in Iraq, officials said.
According to the department, Seibel was an active‑duty soldier supporting Operation Inherent Resolve, the U.S.-led coalition campaign launched in June 2014 to defeat the Islamic State (ISIS) in Iraq and Syria.
Seibel was assigned to the Air Ambulance Company, 2nd Battalion, 4th Combat Aviation Brigade, in Fort Carson, Colo.
The department didn’t release any additional information.
