Seems like a good way to collect smart phones and pocket money from doofuses hunting for pokemon. Monitor the game and then wait at locations where the pokemon pop up and PROFIT.

I see a South Park episode in the future.

I think Ingress only had 2 colors, Team Blue and Team Red? Or maybe Green? Something like empire vs resistance.

I downloaded it. I got three things right from the comfort of my couch.

This game is stupid.

Pink and purple are two of my favorite colors, but alas, they are not options.

I could see this leading to some fucked up shit.

Heard about a game called Ingress yesterday morning where the goal was to capture and hold territory and people were putting up fences and setting up real life booby-traps around portals. :lol:

Ingress was fun, especially around downtown Chicago. Same problem with sucking up battery live though.

Good to see sini is as psychotic as ever.

psychotic? oh lol dude i'm really getting all kinds of crushed here when e-fucking-MOO aka "the heart and soul of schaumburg" calls me psychotic cuz i did an exercise in mental masturbation about some kind of "tinfoil" aka "conspiratard topic" which i actually called out in my post (complete with a proper strawman and the whole 9 yards!" c'est la vie, no?

it'd prolly behoove you to know that when JORR had his thread about "yankees fans from morton grove and schaumburg" he was taking a couple lil SUPER-DUPER-ON-THE-SLY "shots" at you (schaumburg) and me (MG) cuz evidently me and my expos and you and your vikings are worthy of the same level of "chill" aka "below the surface" ridicule from "good upstanding people" like senor JORR. THAT'S RIGHT E-MOO, IN THE EYES OF SOME QUALITY PPL YOU'RE MORE SIMILAR TO "PSYCHOTIC" OL ME THAN YOU'D EVER CARE TO ADMIT! =P

ALSO, CAPS!

TLDR = "i know you are but what am i?" my brother in plastic fandom =P

oh and btw, technically my post was just an exercise in mental masturbation attempting to give an askew/outsider/lunatic-fringe view on this'ere pokemon game. yes i know my ghastly-atypical presentation with torturous paragraphs of punctuation-lite(TM) drivel combined with my propensity to go to "extremes" for the sake of stretching out the boundaries of discourse = i'm setting myself up for little drive-by [striking the captain morgan pose with your foot on the barrel of me] posts, but still man...... maybe i'm naive here, but i always dream of a day when people can just let me marinate in my own omnipresent sucktitude without having to remind everyone that they're better than me. it's [CURRENT YEAR] dude.... comeon. doesn't everyone know i suck by now? =D

Heard about this over the weekend have two friends each of them over 30 who are into it. And man I just don't get it. Doesn't sound like a game, doesn't sound fun, but like RPB said to each their own I guess. It's kind of liberating being old and honestly not giving a crap about this kind of stuff anymore. Also I think sini is onto something with the surveillance aspect of this. Interesting that the game only works while the camera is on and transmitting data or what have you.

The fighting in the game is absolutely horrible and needs to be changed to a turn based style of combat. I expect them to do that eventually.

I'm just doing collecting for now.

When they introduce 'friendlies," I'm sure it'll be turn based.

But that would be impossible for gyms.

I have off work next Friday. Who wants to take the train to the city and hunt?

Come out this Thursday with us.
