👾The Great Link Invasion V2👾

Time for another link attack!

Jan 17, 2022

Hello friends! How are you doing this fine Monday?

I’m down with a pretty bad cold as I write this - so I thought today would be a perfect opportunity for another LINK INVASION.

My brain is running rather slowly today. I think it needs more WD4D.

Basically - instead of our typical format - the entire newsletter this week will be nothing but The Land of Random section - and maybe a few TikToks.

This was a sad week for the internet - as the servers for HALO 3 finally went silent. The end of an era.

I don’t have an Xbox 360 - but I definitely would have hopped on for a few matches if I could.

I wonder if people will feel the same way about Fortnite in a decade or so?

It will be interesting to find out . . .

I managed to sit down and watch the latest Matrix movie. I REALLY wanted to like the movie - but it feels like a well funded fan flick to me. 😭 There were a few scenes that I liked - but overall it felt too introspective.

What did you think of it? Let me know what you think!

Well, let’s dive on in.

Mitiggate

Ever wanted to create a link that can only open a limited number of times? With Mitiggate you can share a link a predefined number of times. Could be really fun for some kind of online treasure hunt.

Experiencing the Web

This meta presentation of the modern internet experience is jarring. Most content websites are crazy!

The web is nuts

Now I need to find Boba Fett lofi . . .

DC’s Lost AM Radio Station

This bizarre radio station (1650 AM) is still broadcasting road closures from 2013. Very Creepy. Remember those radio stations in Fallout?

He did the right thing.

The Halo 3 servers going down. 😭

This is a very brave adventure! Still in progress.

I have no words to describe this. Woah.

Funny AND morbid?

I want to see the great Pixar map that connects all these.

Shazam Your Computer

Don’t get me wrong - I LOVE Youtube mixes of lofi, nightcore, and other music. However - it can be very difficult to hunt down the actual music in the mix without pulling out your phone and asking what the song is. Here’s the Shazam chrome extension!
