Might as well play this one too. Plus, all of my student workers are playing it. I really have nothing in common with them, being 20 years older than them. So now we have something to talk about.

But it's pretty funny when I go to hack an Ingress portal and there are people standing around, "You here for the Pokemons, man?" And then I get to explain the awesomeness of Ingress.

Anyway, it's a cute game. My co-workers are psychotic over it.

Viva La Resistance!

I reinstalled ingress because of this

nigelriel: Resistance! Solidarity! fistbump

Daeberethwen: It's a good game. I like the strategy of it, and that part does not really exist in Pokemon Go. Ingress is a strategy game, and Pokemon Go is definitely a collecting game.

I have pokemon go, but I don't know anything about pokemon. I've caught all the ones in my office since that's where I am for like 14 hours a day

What's ingress? (goes to google...)

Daeberethwen: I don't either. Still fun though.

thaumata: It's an augmented reality game where you walk around and "capture" various landmarks for your team. Or you "hack" the landmarks for points and items that let you upgrade the things you capture.

There's also an aspect of it where you link the landmarks (called portals) together. The objective is to get the most landmarks linked up, and prevent the opposite team from linking THEIR landmarks up.

Oh man, competitive Thau is feeling competitive. Hrmmmm

Ingress is a blast. Key farming, fielding, cooperation with teammates from all over the world. We have regular fields from Hawaii to Alaska to San Francisco and back
