Except we're using divs, markup elements originally intended for research documentation, and using them to emulate modern UI techniques. I don't mind abstractions, but we should at least be using something built to task.

The most egregious example of abuse of technology for me is the browser version of Wolf3d, where they used divs to essentially replicate the vertical column drawing of a raycasting engine: http://3d.wolfenstein.com/

That game only works in the US, as it seems.

But if you set the cookies

    document.cookie = "age_checker=pass; expires=Thu, 18 Dec 2037 12:00:00 UTC; path=/";
    document.cookie = "is_legal=yes; expires=Thu, 18 Dec 2037 12:00:00 UTC; path=/";
It does work elsewhere, too. (Otherwise it just redirects to your local wolfenstein info site)
