Pokémon GO is down AGAIN as gamers go into meltdown on social media
Pokémon GO servers appear to have crashed AGAIN as gamers from around the world went into a social media meltdown.
Hundreds of users have vented their fury on social media.
Earlier today, the game's official Twitter account posted: "The issues causing the server problems have been identified.
"Trainers should once again be able to search for Pokémon in the real world."
However many users on Twitter are being greeted with "failed login" messages.
And those who can access the app are also experiencing errors while exploring the game's world.
The reasons for the regular server outages are unclear at this time.

Pokémon has remained wildly popular since the 1990s
A group known as PoodleCorp claimed responsibility for the servers being down for an extended period of time yesterday.
Posting on social media at about the same time gamers first started to report problems, they said: "PokemonGo #Offline #PoodleCorp".

They later retweeted an account which said: "Just was a lil test, we will do something on a larger scale soon."

Frank Ocean new album: How to listen and stream Boys Don’t Cry when it drops

After two missed release dates a year apart and a confusing decoy of a “live stream” video, Frank Ocean is set to finally release his second album,  Boys Don’t Cry , on Friday 5 August. It will be launched through an exclusive deal with Apple Music, according to the  New York Times , who cite a ‘person with knowledge of the release plans’. If indeed this is the case (and it would make sense, that live stream has an Apple watermark), it means you’ll need to sign up for Apple Music to listen to the  Channel Orange  follow-up, which costs £9.99 a month (£4.99 for students through Apple’s UNiDAYS promotion). You might want to turn off auto-renewal off though (Apple Music app > profile icon > View Apple ID. > Subscriptions > Manage > switch Auto-Renewal off), if you’re the kind of person who, like me, is liable to forget that you’ve signed up for the service indefinitely. Beyond Apple Music...

Why My Chemical Romance's 'The Black Parade' Was The 'Sgt Pepper' Of The Emo Generation

Secret (or not so secret) noughties emos rejoice! Grab some black hair dye and vow to disown your parents all over again! Because  My Chemical Romance  look  set to reissue an expanded version of 'The Black Parade' , their third and most successful album, for its 10 year anniversary (yes, you really are  that  old).  The news last night, stoked by a  mysterious video  teased on the band's long-dormant Twitter page, was enough to rev some sections of the internet into a frenzy. But what's all the fuss about? Well, the album in question wasn't just the band's best, nor just most succinct album of its genre, it was one of the most important records of the last decade.  An  "ostentatious concept-album-cum-rock-opera about death" , as we described it upon its release, the record is a bombastic tour-de-force that took cues from Green Day's 'American Idiot' (both albums were recorded with the same producer) but sounded nothing like its...
