Does anyone Ingress?
 
I can't quite explain Ingress adequately in this post, but essentially it's one of the best worldwide geo-tagging/caching games out there pitting two sides against each other. :D

It's pertinent to FT due to the fact that some people travel all over the world to accomplish their Ingress goals.

I'm not at liberty to tell you which side I'm on, heh heh, but curious if anyone has had fun integrating Ingress into their travels and how they enjoyed it?

Cheers!

I started playing it just after it came out of beta when you still had to get an invite to be able to play. I was helped build the first P8 portal in New Zealand, the first links and fields between Auckland / Wellington (500km), first link between the North / South islands and a few other achievements.

With my travels I was thought of as being a player from the other side of a country in my home city. I've discovered portals in NZ and the UK.

It's been fun, but after countless times squishing the greenies the thrill of it has begun to pass a little...

Nice...I'm trying to gain control of outcrops/peninsulas, anything that would lend itself to large fields to another country. Sorry about the loss of fun though. Sometimes, as I ride the streetcar to work (here in Toronto), I just bash along the way. Very cathartic. :D

now that in flight internet is so widely available, is that something theyve started adding yet? :D

That portal hacking will go so much better. I'll level up in mid-flight.
