Ingress - anyone play?
Highlander II:
This topic brought to you by the fact that as I was reading one of the other threads here about the Glyph hunt, I was confused for a moment b/c I wasn't parsing it as Stargate glyphs, but rather as Ingress glyphs... d'oh!
If you're not familiar with it - it's a game for Android and iOS (not sure if there's a Windows version, but I don't think so) that is GPS-based that has you wandering around your city - and cities you visit - looking for portals (usually located at churches, post offices and other nifty/cool places around town) that you can hack or smash. =)
website here: https://www.ingress.com/
if you'd like an invite to play (there's a recruiting badge i'm working on earning levels of - full disclosure) PM me for an invite. there are probably missions (series of portals to hack to earn badges) all around Vancouver and we can organize a group outing if anyone's up for it.

Does this mean that no one plays?
It's fun. And you don't have to worry about looking odd walking around staring at your phone, b/c that's what everyone *else* is doing too! =)

I have a Windows phone and can't access it. Anything with the google play store or iTunes is a no go.
Highlander II:
Niantic labs makes/runs the game... I wonder if poking them with enough interest would get them on-board w/ a Windows version?
They used to be part of Google - hence the Android-heavy-ness of things (Android gets updates first, etc.), but they're their own entity now, so maybe expansion? App-building is not my thing.
