Nice swag haul from the #IngressEcho XM Anomaly, but the best part was joining the Nightowls squad and battling on the streets! So good to meet over a dozen wonderful people all at once and then play hard together all day - that’s why #ingress is so special to me!

[Mike Romero @mr_micromero]

So happy to be in Brighton for the XM Anomaly. And I met Bob! And he had an LA t-shirt!!!

@XQlusioN I am aware Machina has withdrawn after the beating given by Agents during the HexQuest. I worry that Machina is regrouping

[Mike Romero @mr_micromero]

I wrote the article in December, after the Yokohama XM Anomaly, rereading it now I am ready for some more XM Anomaly!

@MisterStreets @CallesEnTodo Sounds good but I am hard to schedule. I’ll DM you

[Mike Romero @mr_micromero]

I wrote an article in Game Developer about Ingress and the awesome Agents who make it all possible!

[Niantic Engineering @NianticEng]

Reflecting on 10 years of Ingress! thanks @mr_micromero for sharing your insights on behalf of the entire team https://t.co/CMexUzKMDh

¿Los tres reyes magos o Ingress?
I thought it was just the three wise men, here for Christmas, but are they really Ingress factions? #ChristmasEve Merry Christmas! ¡Feliz Navidad! #Ingress #MerryChristmas

[Mike Romero @mr_micromero]

Brilliant to use Machina bulbs on the Christmas tree!

[Mike Romero @mr_micromero]

We put up the Christmas tree yesterday and of course Ingress is represented

[Mike Romero @mr_micromero]

Wow, I’ve walked a total of 12,302 km while playing Niantic games. Check out your Niantic Year in Review https://t.co/Lj5EjARod8 #AVeryNianticYear

@18HA7 I guess I was wrong about the sunrise part. Thanks for smashing this Machina portal, Agent.

[Mike Romero @mr_micromero]

@EVA_oyaji @Kurinresistance I’m glad you are on the Resistance

[Mike Romero @mr_micromero]

@EVA_oyaji @Kurinresistance You might be already

[Mike Romero @mr_micromero]

@EVA_oyaji @Kurinresistance I did move some normal business cards to the side. Did I miss one? I can’t see it. Or maybe his business is Ingress?

[Mike Romero @mr_micromero]

@howahowa469 Nice work fighting Machina, Agent!

[Mike Romero @mr_micromero]

After the #EpiphanyDawnYokohama Anomaly battle, the playbox suffered an ingression of high level Machina portals. Valiant Ingress Agents beat back wave after wave and cleared them all from Yokohama by sunrise.
Agents then had a pleasant Machina-free Mission Day. #Ingress

@dragonjapan2 😄

[Mike Romero @mr_micromero]

Maybe the bast moment was when @dragonjapan2 accepted my offer to trade my NL-1331 Mobile XM Research shirt for his Epiphany Dawn Yokohama shirt. We traded the shirts off our backs right there in the after party #EpiphanyDawnYokohama #ingress

[Mike Romero @mr_micromero]

Thank You Yokohama! I enjoyed meeting Agents, playing Ingress, exploring the city, and eating so much great food! And look at all this swag I brought home (minus the shirts) Thank you Agents for all the bio cards especially #EpiphanyDawnYokohama

[Mike Romero @mr_micromero]

@dragonjapan2 I’ll fix the that!
