fallacy · « **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://crazytje.be/Latest always go to this manga site, I like Manga.... I like that they have a Latest release section I can quickly scan and see If a new chapter to any story I was reading came out.

fallacy · « **Reply #6 on:** February 06, 2012, 03:27:20 am »

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.

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

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 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.

http://shirtoid.com/ - this site aggregates a lot of the t-shirt of the day sites from around the web

I cant link it, but I go to www.riptapparel.com every day because they have a daily t shirt thing. Some are awesome, and some are super lame.

www.filmdrunk.com

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.

ark_ader · « **Reply #27 on:** February 27, 2012, 07:28:29 pm »

I like biertijd.com (NSFW) they have all sorts of funny videos, cool photography and pictures of gorgeous women (MetArt).

Your typical lad website.

I don't consider those places I visit so much as the home I come back to after visiting the rest of the web.
