I mean I can't really think of a better way to ignore my wife while she's driving than by rapidly hacking and linking portals every time we pass a loving graveyard. By the way, I'm the king of the biggest tombstone in the field just west of the highway. Suck ittt

This guy I work with does it and will launch off into this incomprehensible Ingres-speak at the drop of a hat. We'll be walking to the cafeteria for lunch and talking about the roast beef and then he starts off on portals and gems and poo poo. It's really confusing and I don't advise non-autistic people to do it.

I went to the mall yesterday and started dropping cyber bombs on an enemy portal, represented by a wooden pig statue outside of the Cracker Barrel named "Porky" - While I was doing this I noticed a taller asian man following about one step behind me. I could tell he was staring at what I was doing on my phone. I slowed down a little bit and he slowed with me, so I turned and put my back to the wall and as he walked past I saw that he was running the app as well. My wife got super pissed and told me that if I'm going to have to worry about weirdos slapping my phone out of my hand to protect their fake portals then she doesn't want me playing it anymore. I'm still playin' tho

all my friends were super into that for a bit a year or so ago they always told me to do it and I kind of would be all like 'yeah sure totally!' then I wouldn't now they are all over it. Good.

there were a bunch of these 'play by gps' games that sprung up back some years ago and then died just as fast, i have no idea why stupid Ingress caught on. at least one of them just gave up and let you warp around the map so they became just grindy rpgs with a really weird map instead of anything to do with gps

My unemployed friend who has a 5-month-old baby apparently goes out every night, after his wife gets home from work, to play Ingress. He's been on unemployment for 9 months and has no interest in finding a job because he's too busy playing Ingress and destroying his family and his wife & daughter's lives. Seems like a cool game, maybe I'll give it a shot.

Ingress is neat for drawing your attention to little details around town you might have missed otherwise and makes bus rides more interesting. People who walk around with their phones out constantly are divis whether they are playing a game or texting constantly.

Some green jerks tried attacking a bunch of blue portals at my work as part of a mission. My and my co-workers turned them away. Nothing more excited than leaning against a wall in a hallway for 30 minutes pressing buttons over and over again

# ? May 27, 2015 16:47 |
tried it; it stinks! but apparently there really are people out there who will scream at you for playing this and chase you and assault you but then again it's a bunch of goon anecdotes so who knows if it's real (i want it to be)

There's a guy in my area who plays this game like 12 hours a day and is basically an unstoppable autistic terminator, and its gotten so demoralizing that my team is increasingly not giving a poo poo and just letting fields stay up because why bother? Sperglord is even starting to range further and players in other towns are like "what the gently caress who is this guy".

apparently when i bought my last phone it came with some super duper ingress item that only came with that phone and it pissed a bunch of these nerds off that they couldn't use it; apparently conferred some really unfair advantage i used the item on the first point i tried to capture and it didn't work because some level 99999999999 autist had captured it before me and i was out of energy or whatever so don't worry "Ingressers" motorola didn't sell me a win button for your dumb game Vernii posted:There's a guy in my area who plays this game like 12 hours a day and is basically an unstoppable autistic terminator, and its gotten so demoralizing that my team is increasingly not giving a poo poo and just letting fields stay up because why bother? gotta admit something like this would be a really inexpensive babysitter if you've got a 40 year old ocd sperglord downskid

Just download one of the apps that let you project your phone to any address on your GPS and get nerds real mad that their statue is being captured at 3am in the morning in a no trespassing zone.
