  1. Yet another reason for me to lament and rail against the lack of cell service in my area :(
  2. I believe they were universe-hopping... they went to the universe in which you own a VW beetle.
    Why, and how, are you all universe-hopping?
  3. you sir, owe me another pair of pants, what you just brought to my attention simply shows me another reason why i need a phone...
  4. I agree, at least it's not a Volvo, ammirite guise? :D
  5. I hit level 3! Dropped a level 3 bomb on a level 1 resonator this morning and it did like 50% damage, I'm starting to feel useful :D
  6. If anyone's got a spare invite code, I'd love you. :3

  7. Saturday, I attended my first "big event"! We had like 35 people show up on our team, and some kids made cupcakes!


    We swarmed our state capital painting it a lovely green, and setup like 20 lvl 8 (max) portals... Sadly the smurfs did not play our game and we all sat bored without action :(

    But it was nice to see so many people meet up.

    The kids (was like 6 of them) had a competition for a 6 lb bag of candy.... The "exp" they earned compared to the others gave them that % of the bag of candy!

    The adults had a level up contest too, and I took 2nd place!



    I win a little green "nano lego" frog (the enlighteneds nickname) but got to meet with the event organizer to pick it up sometime this week.

    And then yesterday.... I walked and hacked for about 6 hours straight, putting my foot into alot of pain, but ding!



    And then, to demonstrate my new found power (lv6 is a major point in power as 6 bombs are really powerful compared to 1-5)

  8. This reminds me of terminator
  9. Max and I went out last night to get her lv 5 (I'm 7 now! So powerful :D)

    However on our way out.... I noticed our enemies had a very strong portal right at their favorite spot (Where one of them works), owned by a player who has been a jerk to me.

    So we went and hit it, and hit it hard.

    We positioned our selves apart to maximize damage then unleashed hell, and I ran across the street to finish it off with better placed bombs.

    At lv7, I have a pretty decent sized energy bar, but I fully depleted it in less than a minute and had to pop a refiller and burn another good chunk..

    This portal was heavily fortified with many fields based off it, and when I popped it, a nice whopping 6k EXP popped up on my screen :)

    It was wonderful

    The whole blue area was a giant field where I'm hilighted, all centering on that portal, and we took it out dismantling it all.
