The World of the Internet Trough New Eyes

Despite the long title, I'll keep it short. I've discovered what is a half a game, half a bastard child of Stumble with the inventor from Wild Wild West (the quite bad steam punk cowboy movie with Will Smith). It's tool for Firefox, in the form of a tool bar. After you've registered an account, or get an invitation from someone who plays, you can use this tool bar to create portals, lay mines, give people boxes of tools and DPs, shield yourself from mines with armor, and create paths trough the Internet with light posts. You make a path after your own liking, and let people follow it. With portals and other missions, you can connect it however you want, and so can anyone else. It changes your habits on-line something fierce, and messes up your bookmarks even worse. Needless to say, I love it.

Substitute, instead of me

"In all the human societies we have ever reviewed, in every age and in every state, there has seldom if ever been a shortage of eager young males prepared to kill and die to preserve the security, comfort and prejudices of their elders, and what you call heroism is just an expression of this fact; there is never a scarcity of idiots." Quoted from The Use of Weapons.
