Thought it'd be interesting to post what I've got in my bookmarks folder. I'll obviously omit multiple links to the same site (e.g. I have links to various mod hacks on multiple sites, several topics here, etc.) and just go with what I've got.

Newgrounds - taken as read

GameFAQs (www.gamefaqs.com) - possibly one of the most useful sites on the internets, as many people know. Obviously I visit there a lot for mod purposes, but the forums are usually moderately interesting if you look in the right places. Sure, there's a great deal of idiots there, but it's the same with any forum and there's gold if you can hunt it out.

Slashdot (www.slashdot.org) - just have the RSS feed, I don't tend to check there unless I see something of immediate interest, time is limited, especially given that I have three rather time intensive online things to do, so I can't spend forever there reading shit.

Fark (www.fark.com) - RSS feed again, see above. Time, not enough of it. Same reason why I haven't read Usenet for ages, more or less since 2003 when I left Warwick and was using Pine and a decent news server for a large amount of time.

Hattrick (www.hattrick.org) - online football management game. Pretty low maintenance, you could easily get by playing it on less than an hour a week. Been playing it since 2005, finally starting to get somewhere after being stuck in a bastard division for several seasons. Would have been Project Rockstar (www.projectrockstar.com) here but they failed to develop the game well enough, had far too many game resets and it's full of bloody kids.

Two Plus Two Forums (www.twoplustwo.com) - if you play poker in the slightest, this is a must visit. It's probably the best strategy discussion site on the internet, and the forums are a massive mix of crazy surreal humour which is laden with huge amounts of in jokes and MS Paint hilarity, and has many sub forums on lots of useful topics. Many of the best single threads I've read have been from here, even if it's not the first place I visit.

Facebook (www.facebook.com) - I've been at uni in the past few years, shoot me

A World Of Poker (www.aworldofpoker.com) - another poker forum. Not brilliant, but it's fairly UK-centric, they sponsored our society at Sheffield for a bit and I get numerous perks from them, so it's all gravy.

UK Net Guide (www.uknetguide.co.uk) - the link I have just goes directly to the TV guide.

Battrick (www.battrick.org) - a cricket offshoot of Battrick which is younger and evolving quicker. Probably a bit more fun as well, makes many a Friday more interesting.

YTMND (www.ytmnd.com) - I have a specific link to one that relieves poker tilt brilliantly, I don't have the plug-in on Firefox that allows viewing for most of them. Incidentally I'd download the complete soundtrack but not only are no bastards seeding the torrent, µTorrent has been massively unresponsive of recent.

Cold Storage (www.coldstorage.org.uk) - the guy that did the soundtrack to WipeOut, possibly the best video game soundtrack ever behind Mega Man 2, and he has it available to download.

Full Tilt Poker (www.fulltiltpoker.com) - my primary site, link is there because it goes directly to the sit and go leaderboard which I'm usually doing OK on.

Red Hot Pawn (www.redhotpawn.com) - turn-based chess, has a decent enough interface and userbase.

Conquer Club (www.conquerclub.com) - basically Risk online. Has some absolute fucktards on there, but it's mostly OK if you can avoid n00bs who continually miss turns and the more exotic game settings.

Super Page 58 (www.btinternet.com/~moononastick/sp58 /Index.html) - Digitiser archive. Completely irrelevant to non-UK users of a certain age, but those that remember its brilliance will love this site.

That's about it. LOL RANDOM IMAGE
