Maybe it's a population control app?

There were also a couple of kids, in UK I think, that got lost in a cave playing and ended up calling emergency services to get rescued.

That's it. This is starting to invade my hobbies. I ran into about twenty people on my run today. You're in nature on a cell phone....grrr.

There's a video of a stampede at Central Park...


Dude jumped out of his car, left the engine running, and ran off into the fray...

LOL, looks like the Pied Piper made a game...
If people on here don't get that reference, they aren't geeks.

I was playing at Waldameer today. I didn't run into a door. I didn't step on anyone. I didn't so much as bump into anyone.
Amazing!

I've been playing for 5 days, I've crossed the street, walked through parks, give over bridges... Rocks... And amazingly enough I've not been hurt.

I think these Morons would've walked off a cliff regardless

Yea, I don't get it. Maybe it's my 3 years of playing Ingress. In my head i know where all the stops and gyms are in most of Cleveland. But there's zero need to stare and walk while capping. Look at phone. Look up. Walk. Glance at phone. Wrong way. Turn around. Walk. I don't get it.
Ohhh, that's right. I'm not an idiot.....

Although us Ingressors are a bit of a different breed, I guess. We are respectful when we play. Most of us.
Have you heard about us in cemeteries? Museums? Being places after hours that we shouldn't.
No? Guess what? We've all done it. You just didn't hear about it...

They added the Pokémon warning to our game recently. oy...

Exactly... Pokemon Go is basically the same thing as Ingress. And I've heard of all kinds of things going on with players trying to get portals. Just didn't make the news. Pokemon is bigger than Ingress so is getting in the headlines more.

Both games are by the same developers, just a different group of... Players.

Ingress is quite a bit different, similar but different. The people who play ingress are generally more like those of us on these forums (a bit geekier and more intelligent) not across the board but the ones I met were.

I quit playing Ingress because, like Lifted said...most Ingress players are tech savvy. And a rather large number of them used GPS spoofers and ruined the entire experience for me. Which is a shame, because I loved the concept at the time and waited for months to get into the beta with no luck.
