Post 6: Ingress

   I have enjoyed playing Ingress for the last month or so. I am a member of the Enlightenment and have become level 5 after much work for my faction. Since I have been playing Ingress, I now try to leave early so that I can hack and attack portals on my way to class. In my time between classes and on my way back home, I also take time to recharge my portals or try to capture new ones. Basically I spend all my time at school, outside of class, playing Ingress.
   My typical path is from the North parking garage to the art building. I try to control or maintain all portals along this path. This usually results in me making 7-8 quick stops along my way.
  

 

A glimpse of my usual route. Unfortunately I'm out of town right now and all these portals are controlled by the damn Resistance!

   If anybody else plays Ingress, I'm pretty sure they would recognize what I am doing. But I wonder what non-players think about my movements. They must think that I am uncertain about where I am headed; or they must think that I am texting and that I am unable to walk and text at the same time. I also wonder what people think when they see me going back and forth between portals.

   After playing Ingress, I definitely know my way around campus much better. I have ventured around to places that I would not otherwise have gone. Because of Ingress, I walk around a lot more, and I spend time exploring the campus.
