Ever heard of Ingress? Google it up, android only for now, though they say it'll be on iOS very soon.

It's like competitive geocaching with capture the flag and a massive scifi storyline.

I hadn't, then a guy at work mentioned it, and now I'm addicted. Commuting? Maybe take a different route so I can tag some points. Running errands? Lots of big triangular patterns when I plan where I "need" to go. Downtime at home or work? Pull up the worldwide intel map and plot a few future missions.

Really, insanely, addictive. The beauty is you literally can't sit still. It forces you to get out in the world a little. Can't wait for riding weather, mostly because my truck burns a LOT of gas doing this. :mrgreen:

... red wasn't bad enough, now BLUE?
Seriously, man, legible is something else.
Yeah, I get it's related to that game, as you say.
But please, don't do it again. Please.

What if you don't have a fancy-pants phone you can play with?

Augmented reality dork! Get a life!

(I'm Level 6, but rural play and outdated tech are a killer. Good to see you're blue! Go Resistance!)
