The Great American Road Trip...QONQR Style:

Since I started playing QONQR, family time has changed. Date night went from dinner and a movie to "hey lets drive across the bridge into Wisconsin and cause some havoc on people's zones." Time with the kids is now "Just give me one second sweetie, mommy needs to pwn some n00bs."

Back in June, my family and I decided to take a road trip to Louisville, Kentucky to visit my parents. That quickly turned into the "QONQR Land Grab of 2013"

We started the 12 hour drive on a Saturday morning. We made our usual immediate pit stop for gas and snacks. *Sidebar: I actually have a few things to say about snacks and playing QONQR. DO NOT eat Cheetos or Slim Jim's while you play. They both will make your touch screen gross for bot launches. Pick snacks that you can eat with one hand because you will be busy wreaking havoc with your other hand.*

When we started this adventure I had a whopping 38 zone captures (I play more defense than offense). We drove across the MN/WI State lines and I immediately began capturing zones and making bases with funny names.

We have two small children and driving 12 hours in one shot isn't really feasible, so we stopped in Bloomington/Normal, Illinois at a hotel for the night. That night my husband and I went on a missile/plasma beam bot killing spree (nothing brings a family together like the destruction of other player's zones). We had a great time.

The next day when we arrived at our destination I had captured more than 300 zones. In the week that followed I managed to change the color of Louisville's Clifton area from Purple to Green (don't judge..I was originally a misguided Tree Hugging Swarm Op) along with everything else that was within my blast radius.

 The "Family Road Trip" was forever changed in my brain, and I'm now planning our next one. I'm thinking Kentucky (and everything between here and there) could use a little more Red.

Who needs to fly anywhere when you can drive and take the world by storm at the same time.
