Here is a continuation of the story. This is absolutely bizarre:
Suddenly, D Skully spotted a girl’s face illuminated by the light of her phone screen in a small car parked down the street. As she remembers it, he went and knocked on her window to confront her, and as soon as she was caught, the car peeled off.
The two of them were playing Ingress, an alternate reality game (or ARG) run by a Google startup called Niantic Labs. Ingress is like a giant game of Risk or Capture the Flag, only the game board is the entire world. The goal is to capture as many “portals,” or in-game waypoints and locations, and hold them for your team for as long as possible.
Except unlike other mobile games, Ingress players — known as agents — have to run around city streets, parks, alleys and backcountry destinations in order to win. The game is played by millions of people, and if you’re in a major metropolitan area, chances are that Ingress players are all around you.
Will this continue to grow in popularity and start expanding into other areas such as business with virtual reality gamification? We hope you enjoy the video!

Viva la resistance!
Advertisements. Advertisements everywhere. I can’t tell them apart from news sites anymore.
Yeah I went to an anomaly in chicago,(kind of a day long tournament for lamens) there are some…..interesting…..people who play this game.
The only winning move is not to play…
It’s sad a game has to be created to get people to go outside and explore and see historical monuments and such….
