Right2Link: Keep web linking free

What’s one of the basic philosophies of the Internet? The link. By nature, websites are interlinked and content is discovered. Search engines link based on user queries, bloggers publish critique and commentary, and we can drift either aimlessly or with a purpose around cyberspace for hours and hours. Simply following links. So when the link is threatened by bureaucrats in repressed organisations that either don’t get the Internet, or want to play in it on their own terms, it’s time to sit up and take notice. I’ve seen some pretty stupid “linking policies” over time, but they’re usually published by small websites and are a good source of ridicule. When Read more »

Smash Bros is probably the only famous Nintendo video-game franchise I’ve never had the pleasure of owning. I’ve played it a couple of times before, the action is “crazy” and it takes little more than random button mashing to achieve good, or decent, results. In that aspect Smash Bros is no different from most other beat-em-ups. This week Yatzee, who is possibly the world’s funniest game reviewer, decided to pick up the latest version of Brawl and review it, giving a lot of focus to the multiplayer part, which, should be the most important part of this game, but ends up being not as fun when they realize they had Read more »
