Introversion Software, who made the movie-style hacking game Uplink, also have a game called DEFCON which is an atmospheric, minimalist global nuclear war simulator. <a href="http://www.introversion.co.uk/defcon/" rel="nofollow">http://www.introversion.co.uk/defcon/</a> "The World's first Genocide 'em up! It's Global Thermonuclear War, and nobody wins. But maybe - just maybe - you can lose the least." I love those guys :)

Okay, I had a few problems with the responsive layout template for mobile apps (so much for that template being "responsive"), and, I tried to throw a few ads up (to offset what can only be described as a "minor" cost of doing business) but that borked the layout badly for certain mobile devices.<p>So, late yesterday, I got most of that all dialed in now and it should look and perform a little better today (except maybe for folks in very far away places?).<p>Lastly, I put off changing the full page load into an ajax request in order to generate a new war scenario because, well, some of the most popular generators out there do a full page load (including the ones that I referenced), so why not me? Trust me, I know how to do it, but, based on the traffic and the feedback, it's clearly not holding people people up from using it.<p>Any other feedback? Performance issues? Mobile issues? Layout? Other suggestions?<p>Thanks again to all who took the time to comment, especially the critics. It's clearly a site I made on a whim, but, even though it's just for fun, I took the feedback seriously in order to make sure it stays fun.

Reloading the whole page to get a new name seems a tad unnecessary.

I think I just found a new way to name my release candidates.

Also a Robert Ludlum novel title generator.

Should just have the Generate button be an ajax request so the entire page doesn't have to reload every time!<p>Awesome though
