Best Sites you visit every day!
« on: February 06, 2012, 02:30:49 am »
List your favorite sites. Sites you visit every day or at least once a week to check for updates. Try not to post anything that anyone before you has posted.

I will get all the obvious ones out of the way so we can then discover some rare gems we never knew about.
Also say what you like about the site and why you keep coming back.


Obvious:

http://www.facebook.com/   FaceBook

http://forum.arcadecontrols.com/  Build Your Own Arcade Controls Forum

http://www.ebay.com/   Ebay

http://www.amazon.com/    Amazon

http://www.newegg.com/  Newegg

http://www.newegg.com/  Pandora

http://www.youtube.com/show/keyofawesome?s=1   YouTube, But if you discovered any cool channels post them. <----- Key of Awesome

http://www.g4tv.com/games/reviews/ always go to G4TV game review to see what games came out and check the score they give them to see if they are even worth looking into. They have to have a 5/5 to bother and even most of those suck.

www.wired.com

One of the few magazines that are up-to-date or even a little ahead, yet writing their own ---steaming pile of meadow muffin--- and doing it seriously good (I hate recycled or retweeted eight-hand news)

www.etsy.com

The Ebay killer. Now mainly chicks and clothing focussed, but the first male ebay-retro-gaming sellers have arrived. It does everything right where Ebay stinks at:
No country localisations, you search all countries by default.
People who sell are real people with a name, a residential place, not floating 8-digit codes with a crap paypal email address to identify them
No bidding: only buy-it-now. I don't want to sit around at 4 am to check if I win something
The site looks decent (including decent pictures of the stuff sold), not My-Space like as Ebay does
Important for businesses: you get a receipt. Damn Ebay why don't you make these? Fleebay only mails a lousy email that is badly incomplete (Vat numbers anyone?) You can make a slightly better one for 90 days yourself on ebay's site, otherwise you have problems with you accountant.

www.amazon.co.uk

And then other sellers, not Amazon itself. Those weird English sell a lot of stuff for 0.01 pound. How can they make a business of it? I don't mind those cheap books.

www.boingboing.net
The best of the news-digging and recycling sites.

www.rocketboom.com
BoingBoing like presented with a nice chick in video format.

www.weer.nl
Because it is damn accurate about showers. It allows me to cycle in between them to work and back.

www.duckduckgo.com
Because I want to search outside my filter bubble Google creates.

 1 Love this guy's stuff.  I watch his AVGN videos over and over again; he says a lot of the stuff that went through my head playing the games.

As for stuff not added yet: www.cracked.com: Funny articles that are also informative (a guy on these boards has a couple of things published on the sute).  The stuff by John Cheese is some of the best and I love the "Does Not Compute" (f/k/a Cracked TV) video series.

Dont mean to threadjack or anything, but this seems relevant, did you guys know they are making a AVGN movie?! Its like a mockumentary, like King of Kong. I cant wait for it, its going to be HI-larious.  :lol

I always check moviehole.net when I get home, because they always have up to date stuff on movies. Cant link it, at work.  :(
Pictures are overrated anyway.

Amazon is better, but they have almost the same stuff, the prices are the same I think. I bought my 28" 16:10 monitor from there, I found some great deals from that site. They have computer parts, computers, tvs, basically a lot of electronics and gadgets.

Thanks for this link.

I found some cool star wars pieces of art. I don’t particularly link Star Wars but this is the perfect kind of Geek\Classy hybrid art I was looking for my Media Room.

The rest of my frequently visited sites have already been listed.
If there's bees in the trap I'm catching em
By the thorax and abdomen
And sanding the stingers down to a rough quill
Then I dip em in ink, and I scribble a bit
But if it they wriggle then I tickle em until they hold still
Lemme say it again
In my land of pretend
I use bees as a mf'n pen

If you like gadgets, http://www.theverge.com is really good. It was started by the guy who made Engadget and then became disillusioned with the shallow direction it was heading under AOL's ownership.

I often find out about a lot of awesome, bizarre movies on this site, along with the regular movie news.  For instance, this weekend I went to the Hollywood premiere of the movie The FP, which was all kinds of awesome, and I never would of even heard of the movie if it wasn't for this site.
