PD.com: Like a fraternity of drunken clowns, hopped up on goofballs, beating one-another to a bloody pulp with bricks; the maniacal laughter increases exponentially as someone runs off to get a cinder-block.

The thing with psychos is there aren't that many. Not stabby ones anyway. Statistically your toaster is more likely to kill you than a stabby psycho. So why are we more afraid of psychos than bread cookers? Lets think about that. Why are we scared of psychos? Is it because the teevee paints a picture of psychos on every street corner, competing for victims with drug users, rapists and drunk drivers?

The same teevee which has a vested interest in persuading you not to go outside? In fact, has a vested interest in keeping you indoors, glued to the boob tube, watching commercials for toasters?

I'm up to my arse in Brexit Numpties, but I want more.  Target-rich environments are the new sexy.

The only ugliness I've seen is from one player, who seems kind of paranoid, and thinks other players are stalking him.

Thanks to Cramulus's ill-advice, we all went out and played these games.

Until going to the supermarket looked like THIS:

True that.  If I didn't need other humans to keep me from going insane, I wouldn't bother with them.
People do kill each other over the dumbest shit, though.

This looks awesome. I've followed a few similar games but haven't seen this yet, will have to check it out.

I am imagining how awesome this will be once combined with Google Glass and you get a popup notification on your HUD with an alarm: Portal being attacked, MOVE OUT.

People will have secret Ingress lives that they hide from their loved ones out of shame, and when caught sneaking out of the house for a few minutes at a time, multiple times a day, the speculation will cause MASS BUTTHURT.

Oh bollocks, it want's stuff from me to let me use it on my phone.....and won't let me use the appropriate fuckoff email.... :argh!:

I am going to play the fuck out of this before it gets a serious following here.
