    Default Whats your Favorite Website/Net Hangouts

    Hey guys just wanna know where you guys chill when your not here, what podcast do you listen to where do you get your gaming news, you fav webcomics,etc. I'll list off what I can think of for now and will likely add more when I get home

    Podcasts


    Sidescrollers @ Screwattack - This ones a good mix of crazy general news stories, major gamoing news, some anecdotal stuff and jus plain crude humour)

    DDOcast - I'm pretty sure its the only successful DDO based podcast out their and its a great one

    Rememberwhen - A great podcast about the awesoem stuff from the golden age comics, tv, movies, games you name it a wicked nostalgia trip for all



    Forums

    Kagero Studios - Mostly a Chrono Trigger fan site but good place for gaming in general although the community is a bit small

    Giants in the Playground Forum - great place for D&D advice/discussions, the official WOTC forums arn't bad but the people there are very opinionated and hate house ruling.


    Gaming Video Sites

    Nostalgia Critic (and Co) - A great conglomeration and movie, game, anime,etc. reviewers theres a little something for everyone

    Screwattack - It's a great site but I visit it less now because their new site is terrible for finding stuff because theres no way to remove the fan submitted videos so you can find the real videos...not that the fan ones are bad theres just 1000s of them

    Clan of the Gray Wolf - Mostly here for Roo's 16-Bit gems and how stuff works which are awesome

    MMOGrinder - A MMO reviewer who only reviews F2P MMOs (most of the time) so it's a great resource for people like me who loathe the subscription model....have yet to find a game that trumps DDO overall (most games trump DDO in the polish category though :P) had some fun trying them out though

    The Escapist - This is the place I go when I want to laugh there all still reviewers but well lets just say the do it differently...check out unskippable and Zero Punctuation to get my meaning.

    Extra Credits - This place is great their like gaming philosophers...really the only way I can describe it, also they actually work in the industry as desingers, artists,etc. so it's good to get their side of things.

    The Spoony Experiment - The only good non-forum DnD site I've found so far...best way to describe his video gaming ummm...videos is "Controlled and Highly Informative Nerd Rage" and hate to go all fan boi here but Spoony (Noah Antwiler) just oozes Charisma...the guy just owns any Panel he's in. Not in I'm super sexy or anything way, just he's wicked comfartable with it and he's entertaining so he steals the show.


    Comics


    I'll just list these for now and add descs later

    Questionable Content
    Brentalfloss Comic
    Order of the Stick
    Awkward Zombie
    Penny Arcade
    Ctrl+Alt+Del
    Dark Legacy
    Fanboys
    VG Cats (rarely updates)
    Goblins
    2Kinds

    I'm sure theres mnore but I'll add them when I get home...where do you guys frequent

    I'll play.

    When i'm not reading ddo stuff, i spend about 95% of my browsing time checking out youtube. Mind ya i ain't looking at cats playing the piano, or fat people falling down. Youtube seems to be the most comprehensive video archive in existence, at least that is accessible to the general public.

    Been a long time movie freak, especially some obscure ones, and i'm constantly amazed at how many full movies they have there. Some of my favorites are full episodes of Mystery Science Theater 3000. I'm still discovering how many classic b exploitation horror films there are on there from the golden age (70's). I also am amazed at the number of musical videos, and really obscure concert footage on there. I've found concert shorts from bands so small i never imagined seeing videos of them playing. Did you know that the Minutemen actually produced a couple of videos?

    Before my current habits, I used to like reading reviews that could be linked to from Rotten Tomatoes. Mostly not recent films, but just any i had an interest in.

    When i was into console games, i used to study walkthroughs from Gamefaqs, and i also liked reading game reviews on the Gamespot site.

    In the long long ago, when i was playing the ebay game, if i wasn't spending hours writing listings, i would spend hours looking for things to buy. Most of the time obscure videos, before dvd's were so common.

    Well, then there is that 'other stuff' i look at once in a while (really, it's not that often), but i won't mention that here.

    i'm usually on 9gag, watching RvB on Rooster Teeth, maybe checking on Bungie's project tiger, playing some minecraft, or looking at Cyanide and Happiness. i do watch some youtube, mainly Arby n the Chief, maybe check on any new news about Halo 4. otherwise i might check my school batch's FB group for any HW i might have missed out on, or to chat with a friend.
