Ingress

[Apostrophe Spacemonkey]

Damn your rational thinking.


Maybe in the summer, it's too dark and cold to be walking around at the moment.

[Speakman]

Seriously, I love this game so much. I've found that I'm walking more, taking varying routes home from work, socialising and meeting new peps (the CHCH EN are really social, weekly beers minimum, chuck in a few BBQs every now and then)

[Arseynimz]

Where do you find out about the local groups dude? Is there an NZ site of any sort?

[gliss]

Possibly not.

It's a Google app I believe.

Because you apparently get paid loads, you can just pick up a cheap Android unit to use as an Ingress phone.

Nothing wrong with Palmy Viva La Resistance! BTW whats your agent name?

Arsey everyone uses google plus for the community side of things. Try https://plus.google.com/u/0/communities/105613232238865900219 for the NZ cross faction community, introduce yourself im sure someone will get in touch with you. If your resistance I can point you in the right direction.

We just had a cross faction dinner in palmy on Friday night. Went to Mongolian all you can eat. Was an awesome night had about 25 of us.

I finally got a 'smart' phone and have been playing this shit for a few days. It's pretty neat. I have no fucking idea whether or not I'm helping or hindering my team by throwing up links and field whenever poss (because sometimes, apparently, this prevents potentially larger fields). But it's been fun nonetheless. hash-tag enlightened and all that. Speakman, I noticed you'd been around campus!

Only problem so far is that the local faction runs all comms through Giggles Plux, which I do not have and am not inclined to getting (after having rid myself of fuckbook a few months ago).

Yeap, I pop in from time to time, reasonably close to where I'm living at the moment

Hooked up with the Enlightened Crew here in Auckland, and immediately seeing the benefit of the social side. The local dudes are awesome, and one of the main guys is just up the road in Newmarket, and also does the same job as me - needless to say he's keen to get me to L8 so we can tear Newmarket to shreds and annoy the crap out of the local Resistance.

Heaps of iOS agents coming through too (like me), so it's a pretty good time to be on Ingress.

Enjoying the social aspect here.  G+ groups/hangouts are great and not as irritating as FB can be


We have a pretty good relationship with the Res and even had a crossfaction dinner last week.

[Arseynimz]

Just about to hit L8 Arni - haven't been quite as dedicated to smashing shit out like some others, but I'm about to get there! Really enjoying it now, and the community are great peeps.

[Arnifix]

Good shit mang. keep smashing dem smurfs. tears taste goooood.

Hit the L8 just before the last cycle finished - popped a couple of decent sized fields and covered my local Lake (Pupuke) to get me to 8. Now the problem is farming for L8 resonators, because we have a real L8 farm issue up here.

Expecting to meet up, guise

[Arnifix]

I'm gonna be up on the Thursday, gone on Sunday. Like long walks/drives and unique hacks and captures. Would love to get 300 unique caps.

Sounds cool, but not available for Windows Phone, so they can burn in hell as can all other devs who only build shitty ios or android apps.

I always wondered what happened to the Windows Phone. I always thought they were laughably bad.

Windows Phone started off life as a promising alternative to Android and iOS five years ago. Microsoft positioned its range of Windows Phone 7 handsets as the true third mobile ecosystem, but it's time to admit it has failed. If a lack of devices from phone makers and even Microsoft itself wasn't enough evidence, the final nail in the coffin hit today. Microsoft only sold 4.5 million Lumia devices in the recent quarter, compared to 10.5 million at the same time last year. That's a massive 57 percent drop. Even a 57 percent increase wouldn't be enough to save Windows Phone right now.

The annoying thing is it's Beta vs VHS..
Windows Phone is simply better than either IOS or Android, but it has lost the war, no doubt.

I'll keep buying them as long as they keep making them.
