Maybe this isn't about a video Game. It's much much deeper than that.

Peace
 Quoting: AwakenedDude


How so?

I got the impression that this is being made to appeal to the "cosmopolitan" middle-20s-to-early-30s-something living in the big city with too much free time and cash on his hands. I honestly can't see how it can go deeper than that.

Unless of course you take into consideration my earlier point about how video games in general are rotting minds and contributing to the downfall and degeneracy of society (and who could forget the intentional conditioning involved with 1st person shooters?). Other than that, and the obvious opportunities for spying, what else do you see??

I mean seriously, FunCom came out with stories very similar to this, with the whole alternate realities, magic/science, chemisty/alchemy, good secret society vs bad, etc, many times in the past. Conspiracy/new age is a new and growing market niche people are attempting to capitalize on, a la our friend that stood us up tonight on the glp livestream.

 Quoting: Mind1ess

Nope. Me either.

Next!
 Quoting: Éireann


but you are already playing it! "so they want you to think".

We are not the players! we are the programmers!
To live is to believe in the power of dreams! To dream is to believe in the power of love! To love is to Know the truth!
The Desire to Be fuel the belief that you Are which ignite the Will to Become which bring back forth the desire to be...
Let it be-come you! It means Stop seeking your higher self! It is seeking you! Stand still in your mind to calm the waters of your mind and then it shall find you, so you can ride those waves together!
your true self lies somewhere between your heart and your consciousness. It is called the heart consciousness,which is the creator, which is you!
The heart create the emotions and our mind evoke its purpose, from which we dream the life we live in order to imagine the nature of reality and finally remember love!

The highest Purpose of our mind is the ability to Forget! Go on and Forgive yourself!
There is no love in truth but there is truth in love!
Be authentic, nobody else can do it for you!

That's some big ass map. coffee4
Love is not the game, life is.
-
When we wake up in this "reality" every morning, we are actually falling asleep, because only in our dreams we are truly awake.
-
We are not our body, nor our mind. We are not the voice in our body, nor our head. We are the the here and now, experiencing without any input from either of the mentioned above.
-
It's not about others forgiving you, but whether you can forgive yourself.
-
It doesn't take much energy to make the wrong decision. But to make the right one, you have to put every fiber of your being to it.
-
I know i have a lot to work on. But knowing that there's no hairy ass man in the clouds to judge me when I have little bit of fun on the expense of someone elses ignorance, makes life a whole lot easier.

No one does things for free. No one, not even our magnanimous and deeply philanthropic friends over at Google.

Making video games is a LOT of work. They have to be getting something else out of it. It's naive (or just plain stupid) to think otherwise. The question is, what?? What's in it for them?

Many people turn off their gps to conserve battery. This is tied directly to your Google account. This will also allow TPTB to mobilize people wherever and whenever they want through "hotspots" or "geocaches".

This is a pilot program for a much more advanced system that will be directly tied to an RFID chip planted directly within your body.

Of course, it could be something as ridiculous as they're simply trying to resurrect google+ by integrating with this somehow. That's a reasonable explanation.

The spying part...yeah, it's creepy, but no one seems to really care about that anymore. I mean, seriously, just head over to FB and see how many people are telling you the last time the took a shit.

There's a lot to think about here.

I just want to point out one last thing here, and that's the logo for "INGRESS"

It's a Tesseract hypercube with a triangle inside instead of a cube.

The tesseract, as many of you may already know, relates to 4d or the 4th dimension, as so wonderfully outlined by carl sagan:

You can only turn off the GPS for user control, not for carrier control. In addition to this the location of the phone can be seen by signal triangulation with cell towers. Oh, and location can be traced easily by which Wi-Fi signals are available. Of you own a cell phone you have no privacy.

Hell, apps like Color and YouTube can turn on your camera and mic to record and send data back to their servers even when you are not using the apps.

All I can say is, well played, google.

Think about it! In the past, you needed a search warrant or subpoena for spying/searching. By using the app, you will most likely give google permission to infringe on your privacy WITHOUT any of that legal red tape, you'll probably also give them permission to use that collected data in any manner they see fit...

And the best part of all is, the people will BEG to use this app.

Everything is getting clearer now.

Re: Google's Top Secret Video Game Revealed
idk I'm not really impressed.

I've always thought video games will eventually evolve into something where a person actually has to interact physically. Like holograms or VR helmets or whatever...you know, you're whole mind is immersed instead of just holding a controller and staring at a screen.

Now, do I think Google has nefarious motives and is probably up to something? Google? The company who's slogan is "don't be evil" or whatever? I couldn't believe that. YEAH RIGHT.

If anything, they're probably testing how popular this new "interactive" gaming idea will work...and also track you and spy on you and whatever else.

Ultimately, it sounds like advancing sci-fi and nothing more. I don't doubt the story line is true. My mind is open to a lot of things, but I doubt a video game is going to open a portal to hell in real life.

Although, video games opening up portals to hell in real life could certainly happen, through channels of degeneracy. But I guess I'm talking physical fire and brimstone type stuff. lol.

the best way to hide something is to not hide it for those that has the eyes to see and ears to hear!

an open software that track you all the time would infuriate anyone! and people would refuse it straight away!

But implement this a online game that requires you to be always online otherwise you can get attacked at anytime.

and if your not online you can not deffend your territory!


it's basicly a gps tracking system disguised as a game so that people accept it!

Google really push the idea of having us "fighting each another" instead of Fighting the machine!
