This is a topic to list out any sites you often go to/enjoy

Of course, #1 is The VG Press Grinning

Google Reader is my RSS feed reader, so that gets the most of my time as an interface to most other places.

Chessgames has a massive chess database and daily puzzles.  My visiting fluctuates as is the nature of my chess addiction.

Youtube needs no explanation.  Some of my subscriptions include cdk007, SomeVideoGameMusic, RoyZimmerman, and msxjenixe.

Kickyoutube is an easy way to save Youtube videos to different formats.  Just add "kick" to the front of any youtube URL to get the subsequent Kickyoutube address.

Iron Chariots is a counter-apologetics wiki I do some editing at when I'm out of feeds.

Stackoverflow is a sort of non-moron Yahoo Answers for programmers.  You can ask and answer questions, earning reputation as you go.  There are a few sister-sites for other non-programming-related tech questions, the one I use most is SuperUser.

Digg has gotten new life through my reading it in the RSS feed.  The comments are hit-or-miss, but there's usually a couple good things to pass by each day.

Slashdot is a great resource, despite having a terrible layout.  Read stories from all technical areas, and the comments are actually informative.

And for those of you who aren't aware of them

The Life and Times of Darthhomer is, naturally, Darthhomer's blog.

Reach Out to the Truth is LordAndrew's blog.

For anymore of my feeds, you can see my OPML file of all the feeds to which I'm currently subscribed.

I have such limited time on the internet besides this place I tend to only go to places to download podcasts (from US-based TV and radio shows) -- cause I don't use iTunes or anything like it.

Pretty nuts, now that I think about it, but besides my podcast DLing the only sites I really go to is gmail and the weather site (oh and amazon of course to buy my games).

Youtube: I subscribe mostly to retro video game channels: HappyConsoleGamer, Lukemorse1, MN12BIRD, SteveBenway, TanukiKGA.

Retro video game sites: AtariAge and ClassicGameRoom.

Dictionary.com: I like just browsing that site to see if I can learn something new.

Project Gutenberg.org: So many free books to read! If only I had a Kindle or something. Sad It may suck to read on the computer, but I still do it!

Amazon.com: For books, DVDs, and videogames, of course!

Ebay: I frequent the site, but I rarely buy or sell anything. Hmm . . . .

 Ah yes, that reminds me.  I also have Merriam-Webster's, Thesaurus.com and Wikipedia on my top menu bar in Opera for easy access.

Where is Edgecrusher? He would give us all the best sites for female tennis players.

VG Press - A quick place to kill five minutes in a troll-less gaming community.

Doomworld.com - Somewhere to spend another ten or fifteen minutes, while I mod whatever forums I'm in charge of. Almost completely troll-less.

/idgames - A database hosted on Doomworld, which houses a lot of user data. Since I play a new mod/map pack practically every time I run Doom, it's a nice place to search.

#zdoom - Basically Doomworld in irc form.

IMDb - Somewhere I pop in and out of, mostly for its Video Games (General) board. It's fairly troll heavy, but not nearly as bad as any major gaming site you can think of, plus I'd rather be a big fish in a little pond.

Facebook - Keeps me in touch with several acquaintances who've moved away. Much of my family also lives in other countries. Lets me know if there are any metal shows in my area I might want to attend.

DeviantArt - Mostly to stare at my own submissions, and read the praise in my inbox, like the narcissist that I am.

Pedestrian-X @ Blogspot - Same deal.

LION - To check my grades, and student email.

4chan - /v/ gives me the benefits of lurking a large gaming site, without the shame of having an account. I'm not allowed to talk about the rest of the boards I visit.

JKDF2.net - Where I go do my Jedi Knight: Dark Forces II fix these days.

Google/Wikipedia/YouTube/xxxbunker - Obligatory.
--------------------------------------------

Listen to Iced Earth and play Doom

IMDB - I'm a huge movie buff, so it's a great site to look up information. Though the forums make me want to take razor blades to my arms.

YouTube/Wikipedia/Hotmail - Obvious reasons.

TV Tropes - Quite possibly the most addictive wiki site outside of Wikipedia. Once you start reading, it takes a lot of effort to stop reading.

That Guy With The Glasses - Great place to get quality internet shows, like the Nostalgia Critic and what not. Updated daily too, so there's always something to watch.

The Spoony Experiment - The site of Noah "The Spoony One" Antwiler. Absolutely brilliant internet reviewer, and fucking hilarious to boot.

Facebook - Great for catching up with people, and also a decent place to learn about the news. Also a great way to sell Level 3 to people!

Twitter - Same reasons. Also good for getting free stuff.

Level 3.org.au - I admin the forums, and I contribute to the show. Hence, I need to be on there quite a bit.

Gamespot - Out of habit.

Oh, there's also this site known as the VG Press. Maybe you've heard of it?

And thanks for the shout out Yoda!
