Hands up…

…I don’t fully understand the purpose of the two location based ‘games’ that seem to be giving lots of people in the digital industry slight trouser-thickenings of late. Maybe I’m not progressive enough, maybe I lack the vision - or my vision isn’t quite 20:20 - more than likely all of these with a big dollop of thick thrown in.

However, I am a little bit addicted.

I can’t quite put my finger on why but it is a bit moorish. Having said that I very early on chose my tipple from the two main players. I couldn’t really stomach the one of them, it just wasn’t as visually stimulating as the other, but also, you could cheat.

Which is what’s really getting on my tit-ends. Whilst I wait for the location based gaming revolution to really kick off, and all my check-ins to be generously rewarded with big hits of cash, there are people cheating. One person in particular. I’m not going to name him because he knows where I live, he knows because apparently he’s checked in there, and where I work, and where I get my lunch from, and where I shit, and every other fucking place I ever go.
