This is really just a big list of assorted stuff I like. How original.

(The different style is a holdover from when the main site was using MT.)

Friends


Burning Hate

Home of the One/The Revenant/Entity/Entitron 3000/PimpDaddyP/whatever alias INTERPOL is looking for this week. And you thought olives were bitter...

The Milkring

Home of Portland Chicago Portland's newest crackhead. Her older entries can be found here and here.

Matthew Gifford

Web developer, Mini Cooper afficionado, and SO of the aforementioned crackhead.

Other People


Jamie Zawinski

A fairly well-known person around the Unix community for his work on emacs, Netscape, and xscreensaver. His blog is always full of weird tidbits.

Lum the Mad

He used to be the Matt Drudge of the gaming world, digging up juicy rumours and stories of cheating, office politics, misbehaving GMs, incompetent companies, and more, at his old lumthemad.net site (now gone, though it has successors of sorts at places like Waterthread). Time has mellowed him out a lot now that he actually works at one of the MMORPG companies, but he still has a few good insights here and there.

Seanbaby

He doesn't update much anymore now that he's a Legit Writer, but his site's still full of miscellaneous funny stuff.

News


CBC News

CANOE cnews

Well it's not like you're going to find a lot of Canadian news on CNN.

BBC World News

Fairly decent world news coverage without too much bias either way.

Slashdot

The obligatory geek news link.

FARK

A collection point for the stranger news stories, photoshop contests, and more. If somebody tells you a "Hey did you hear about..." story, you can probably find it here.

Web Comics


Ozy And Millie

Reminiscent of the classic Calvin and Hobbes but...fuzzier.

My New Fighting/Filing Technique Is Unstoppable

It's nothing but clip-art, but that just seems to make it even funnier. A bizarre combination of kung-fu, office politics, and current events; don't miss "get your war on."

Freefall

Sci-fi comedy (think Red Dwarf) with a shifty alien captain, his incompetent robot helper, and their 'borrowed' engineer.

Jerkcity

Jerkcity cannot be explained, it can only be experienced. Preferably with the help of bonghits.

Penny Arcade

If you're not a gamer, you probably won't get it.

Goats

Actually there's only one goat. But they do have an evil chicken named Diablo. And a fish who lives in beer. And zombie barmaids.

Purple Pussy

A comic for girls! Girls who are serial killers in training, that is.

VG Cats

Yes, even more obscure gamer comics. Often funny and well-drawn, though.

Humour


Something Awful

As their motto goes, "The Internet Makes You Stupid," and they've got plenty of proof of that. Be sure to check out the Cliff Yablonski section. He hates you, you know.

The Onion

These days it's getting harder and harder to tell news satire apart from the real thing...

Games


EverQuest Home Site

Where I've spent way too much of the last fourfive years. One of the biggest online RPGs, and despite its numerous problems, it can be quite fun with the right people. (I've pretty much abandoned EQ for now; there's still plenty I haven't done in it, but not enough time in the day to keep playing it...)

Succoring Winds

I was guildless in EQ for a very long time, but eventually hooked up with these folks. Not very 'uber' as we're a long ways behind a lot of other guilds and probably won't ever even get close, but they're great people and a lot of fun. Attrition due to recent troubles has left us kind of adrift at the moment.

(I used to own the domain name for them, but finally let it expire, so the link has been updated to point to the old ezBoard, in case any old members stumble across it here.)

Asheron's Call

The other place where I spend a fair bit of time playing, usually when there's nothing going on in EQ. Whereas EQ is fun because of your friends and guildmates, I find AC's fun more in the actual mechanics of fighting, looting, and questing, despite the more primitive graphics. Although AC2 is out and much more impressive-looking, reports are that unfortunately it's all style over substance.

Diablo II

Oddly enough D2 is still pretty popular even years later now, due to the addictiveness of the search for that just slightly better item that you know is going to drop any moment now... When I play on the realm, you can probably catch me as either *Cabrius or *CabriusLdr.

Neverwinter Nights

A construction set for building your own D&D scenarios, offline or online. I wish I had more time to tinker with this thing...

World of Warcraft

Just when you think you're out, they pull you back in... I've been playing this a lot lately. A lot like EQ, but with all the annoying stuff fixed. Very friendly to casual players and non-ubers, so far.

Sick and Twisted


Rotten.com

The classic, of course.

Portal of Evil

The internet is a big place, filled with numerous dark corners where horrible, terrible things lurk. And you'll find them indexed here, with accompanying mockery.

Crime Library

A wealth of detailed information on various famous murders, kidnappings, gangsters, etc. It's interesting to see how these people grew up, what motivated them, how they got away with it for so long, and such.

Cute


Or if the sick stuff isn't to your taste...

Rate My Kitten

Kittenbreak

Kittens!

Miscellaneous


The Straight Dope

Cecil Adams answers all sorts of weird questions.

Reelviews

Tons of movie reviews by James Berardinelli, one of the better online critics.

The Usagi Yojimbo Dojo

A fan site for one of the print comics I collect, following the adventures of a rabbit samurai.
