A big game where players spread RFID tags in the city, which an opposing team then has to find and zap. I think. It's badly dressed up as art, and thus the text is pretty much unreadable.

It's cool again! "Cool" in the sense of getting venture funding, right? "Cool" in the sense of making meaningful differences to all those people writing Super Mario clones in JavaScript.
JavaScript is gonna become one of the smokin'-est fast languages out there. And I mean smokin' fast. ”
