Might be an ignorant question but.. you're only capable of playing this with people you know, right?

gas prices? are you planning on driving to catch people?

I have downloaded it but have not had the chance to use it yet. I've turned it on a few times a day for the past few days just to see if anyone was playing in my area. Nothing yet. the map shows that there are other people who have logged on near me, but nothing going on while im on. I'll have to wait a bit till more people have this phone and have downloaded the app. Once a few Android phones have been released, this should be a fun game to play.

Lol... No, you can play with anyone. But, personally, I'd only play it with people I know...

The concept is cool, but thinking about others being able to know where I am just feels a little invasive of privacy. But then again, when you use your phone everyone around you can see it, so there's really no difference besides the fact that you'll be playing with people you don't know.

I do it all the time through the PS3, but the difference is that I won't ever see those people in real life. In the game people can see eachother's location. So what if some sore loser doesn't like the fact that he lost so he decides to follow me around and act reckless?

Then I'd be forced to pull out my 9mm and threaten to kill him... And such conflicts are avoidable and shouldn't happen.

I know it may sound rediculous, but the truth is that in today's world with so many IMBECILS existing, anything is possible.

I wouldn't hesitate not one second to put a bullet into some sore loser who wants to get revenge in real life just because he lost a game. Infact, I'd probably take pleasure doing it, knowing that I just helped the world by riding it of atleast 1 idiot. 1 down, a billion to go.
