Niantic Labs releases tutorial video for first time Ingress Players

Do you Ingress? Is that even the term? I have no idea. What I do know though is that many miles have been traversed, many portals have been created, hijacked and the opposing factions have had some interesting battles. All in good fun of course. Heck, we have even seen a number of screenshots of the Ingress community members creating images with linked portals.  As you can tell by now, I have no idea what I am talking bout when it comes to the game. I created an account, attempted to hack one portal and that is as far as I have ever made it. I am sure I am not alone out there. Thanks to Niantic Labs though, those of you who are as clueless as I am now have a pretty good tutorial video available.

They did a pretty great job of showing us noobs what the heck the game, or the reality of the game, is. Now I know that linking 3 portals creates a control field that shows your faction is in control of that area.  Are you know “enlightened”, or maybe you are feeling the forces of the “resistance”. Grab the title from the Play Store down below and get to work.

If you happen to be a heavy Ingress player, I do hope you are going to be at SOCON and maybe even playing the Monopoly Mashup.
