Off to Honolulu for Discoverie! If you’re there, say hi and on Sunday I’ll have some swag to give away.

If you’re not there, you may want to check out my twitch. Conditions permitting, I’ll stream some of the anomaly action.

Good morning Honolulu. The Ingress XM anomaly starts here in about 6 hours. I’ll be streaming on twitch periodically throughout the day to give a sense of what an anomaly is like. These will mostly be brief check-ins as the battle takes priority, but I’ll start with a longer explainer before the event starts at 8AM HST (about 15 minutes from now).

The anomaly battles are over. My team was an amazing international group of Ingress veterans, who were not too visibly unhappy about me periodically stepping away to stream on twitch.

Win or lose, I couldn’t have had a better day. We are waiting for the scores, I think it’s going to be really close and come down to the global challenge multiplier.

Anyway catch my streams on demand, and probably one more to come tonight after the scores are announced.

Congratulations to the Enlightened. Even with the Resistance capturing the global challenge multiplier, the Enlightened managed to win both Honolulu and the Discoverie series overall. It was still a great time as always.

Now it’s time for the after party, and then Mission Day tomorrow. If you are here in Honolulu, be sure to find me. I have a great swag package I’ll be giving away (details to be posted in the morning). Or say hi any time and I’ll give you a bio card and maybe some other stuff.

The first swag drop is down. If you’re following my twitch you know where this is. If not, you can still probably figure it out if you’re doing missions

Edit: First one has been claimed. Heading out to do more missions. And more drops.

Do an overclock hack on this mission portal to find a neat little prize

Edit: this one has been claimed. Still more to come

I was going to do my last swag drop of the day near the NL-1331 portal, but it’s too crowded in the area to find a place to sit. So instead I’m hanging out in the lobby of the Ala Moana hotel with the swag pack.

Swing past as you are working on the Gift of Water mission. First person gets the swag package. But I have a few more items and loadout cards for the second and third person.

Edit: claimed, and second place claimed as well. I still have a couple of loadout cards and other swag. I’ll be here until about 3:15 for anyone else who can get here

Chronos may be over, but overclock hacks are still out there and a great way to get gear and keys. Agent @queuerodeo made a viewer so you can better understand how different glyphs are rendered on the tesseract for overclock hacks.

The Cryptic Memories Global Op starts tomorrow. From 1700 UTC January 12 to 1700 UTC Feburary 5, agents can earn points toward a new in-game badge. Agents earn 1 point for each resonator destroyed and 2 points each time they deploy a resonator or upgrade another agent's resonator. Earn 1500 points for bronze or 15,000 points for silver.

This badge is separate from the Cryptic Memories anomaly medal, but earning the global op badge can contribute to the anomaly score for your faction (exact details to be released in the coming weeks).

It’s anomaly weekend! If you see me out an about in Porto, with the baby and my pin-filled jacket, feel free to say hi. I have a handful of goodies to give away, though my stash is smaller than it was in Honolulu.

It’s Mission Day in Porto! First 3 people to find me get a loadout card.

Edit: I’ve been found by a group from Spain! Great to see you all!
