I’m basically not a gamer. The games I spent hours & days playing can be calculated by fingers: Harvest Moon, The Sims & Sim City. The rests are only simple games like Fruit Ninja & Angry Birds; which I only play when I get bored waiting for something or when I have no entertainment. Oh, I’m disliking online game as well.
Few months before my wedding, I got annoyed by my fiancé (now my husband) preaching about this game called Ingress. I didn’t really pay attention on the game details he told me, what I’ve got was: this is just another online game played in Android phone.
He was ingress-ing around our hometown when we were there for wedding preparation. He kept telling me “Oh, this is the portal, lemme hack” and bla bla bla. Because I went out with him almost everyday, I automatically reminded him to hack when we passed by a portal; ended up I helped him to hack it because he’s driving.
I started to find out that the game is really cool in its design. The way it sounds, it’s like living in Ironman’s high-tech world. Then I signed up with the thought ‘hacking isn’t hard’.
As time passed, I didn’t really play this game. I could only reach level 3 during my stay in Indonesia (the max level is 8).
Moving to Malaysia, being a housewife, knowing none but my husband. I started Ingress-ing again. I could tell this game is so happening here in Malaysia. At first I only played solo or with my husband, till I joined the faction group. They helped me to level up faster, arranged operations, etc. The best part is: I get the chance to know new people & make friends.
I love (& addicted to) Ingress, it’s like the coolest game I’ve ever played.
If you’re using Android Phone, you may try searching for this game. ;)
