Ingress - are you Enlightened or Resistance?

[Autumn]

Gotten into Google's Augmented Reality game 'Ingress' lately.

Anyone else playing it?
Are you in the Resistance or the Enlightened?

My lame explanation of what it's about:
Using your phone's GPS you'll find portals all over the place, mostly on landmarks of public statues etc, which show on your map.
You can 'hack' them to gain items which you can use to attack enemy portals or upgrade and protect your own faction's portals.

I'm in the Resistance (the Blue team) who, oddly, are in the minority.
When I got my invite (closed Beta, but other people can invite or can request and invite from the link below) I got through the tutorial and found a bunch of Enlightened controlled portals right by my house!!? OH Heck-no! It's on, now!

Not a game you can play sitting down at home. When you attack or hack a portal you can be attacked by its defences which means you need to physically move away from it!

That looks really cool, but I bet you look ridiculous with your phone out running around a landmark!

If I'm out in the city and have time to kill... this seems like a fun way to do it

I requested an invite

Sounds like geo-cacheing mixed with a video game. Very interesting.

Looks like a game I would play. Shame though, I don't have a smartphone.

This looks really interesting, but I wonder if it'd work on my tablet (It has built-in GPS), since I don't have a smartphone. Guess there's only one way to find out, I'm signing up to see if I can get an invite.
