Linkz: Better places to be than here

[hum0r]
Atom Films
Many groovy animations.

[toolz]
Babelfish
Translate from most any language to most any other language with this easy online tool. Either paste the text into the big box, or just give them a URL and they'll translate the whole web page for you. Fun tip: take a favorite website and translate it into another language and back.

[hum0r]
Baiting.org
Many people say to me, "Gosh, there sure are a lot of pedophiles on the Internet. What can I, as a concerned citizen, do about it?" Well, how about you set up an AIM account as a 13 year old girl who "craves cock" and then mentally abuse all the sick fucks who IM you? Then record the chat log and send it to Baiting.org so everybody can laugh at it. Or, if that's too much trouble, just go there and laugh at the others.

[hum0r]
Bert is Evil
The other two "Bert is Evil" sites shut down after the Bert & Bin Laden picture ended up on the nightly news. Fortunately, P.O.E. still hosts this old copy. Hell, somebody has to.

[toolz]
Blogger
We use this for our Rantz page. Set up a site design and you can update it easily and automatically. They even got built-in hosting, if ya need it.

[gamez]
ConsoleWire
Good gaming news site. They update nice and regular, so it's always fresh and hot from the oven.

[hum0r]
Darwin Awards
"In the spirit of Charles Darwin, the Darwin Awards commemorate individuals who protect our gene pool by making the ultimate sacrifice of their own lives. Darwin Award winners eliminate themselves in an extraordinarily idiotic manner, thereby improving our species' chances of long-term survival."

DotEasy
If we ever scrape up enough change from the couch cushions to buy some hosting and a domain name, this is where we're going. Check this out: domain name registration, hosting, and all the email accounts you want for 18 bucks per YEAR. That's a dollar-fifty a month. You couldn't even feed a starving orphan in Africa for that.

[toolz]
EZBoard
We use this for our forums. An incredibly feature-rich free discussion board service. Sure, they beg for cash more than PBS during pledge week, but they're still the best one we've seen out there - especially in terms of customizability.

[gamez]
Fatbabies
Real gaming insider news. Sometimes it's so far inside, it's irrelevant to those of us who don't actually work for game companies. But if you want to find out how much of a dick John Riccitiello is, or how much the soda machines at Konami headquarters charge, this is the place to go, I guess.

[hum0r]
Fat Chicks In Party Hats
What's better than pictures of fat chicks in party hats? How about pictures of fat chicks in party hats with insane captions written by an immature Mexican teenager who barely speaks English? How about if that Mexican teenager becomes a famous Internet celebrity overnight for his picures of fat chicks in party hats with insane captions? Hey look Ma, I just wrote a Hollywood script!

[hum0r]
Glen Lachart
Glen Lachart is a quaint little town in the Scottish higlands. Apparently, since their local newspaper is too small to afford printing costs, they're now online. It's actually a rather bizarre little place. If you're traveling to Scotland any time soon, stop by and check it out.

[gamez]
IGN
Gaming news. They get lots of good screenshots and the like. Just don't fall for their "insider" scam.

[hum0r]
JoeCartoon
Funniest goddamn cartoons on the web, all in Flash. Accept Supahfly into your heart as your personal lord and savior.

[music]
Kompressor
KOMPRESSOR KRUSH AMERICAN MEDIA WITH GERMAN INDUSTRIAL MIGHT! Children's songs, too.

[hum0r]
Landover Baptist Church
You are going straight to hell. Landover Baptist will provide the handbasket.

[music]
MC Frontalot
Nerdcore hiphop? Amazingly good tracks, actually. More rappers should be this self-deprecating.

[hum0r, music]
MC Hawking
Did you know that world-renowned physicist and hero of disabled persons everywhere, Stephen Hawking was also a hardcore gangster rapper in his spare time? No, really. See for yourself.

[hum0r]
MediaTrip
Groovy downloadable indie films. You know, stuff like "George Lucas In Love" and "Film Club."

[comix]
MegaTokyo
"Proof that gamers and Otaku don't mix." Weak story, but the artwork is scha-WEET!

[toolz]
Moreover
There's an example of this on our Newz page. It's a JavaScript-powered newsfeed that updates regularly and automatically. You can customize your own and for nothing.

[hum0r]
The Official Bad Candy Website
For reasons as yet unclear, these people find the most vile candy products in the world, actually eat them, and then discuss the experience on their website for your edification and amusement. If you're terribly concerned about your next candy purchase, OR if you like to see people commit disgusting acts of masochism with their clothes on, go here.

[gamez, hum0r]
Old Man Murray
Sort of a funny alterna-VGnews site. Apparently, Old Man Murray writes these videogame articles from his shack in Montana, coming into town only to update the site every so often. Or something like that.

[hum0r]
The Onion
A quite informative online newspaper. It has a great deal of interesting content.

[comix, gamez]
Penny Arcade!
Terrific comics, well drawn and focused like a laser on the hardcore gamer community. Although the main draw is Gabe's comic strip, Tycho's text updates are cool and informative.

[hum0r]
Pointless Waste of Time
Some fairly funny stuff. That is, it's not all that unfunny. Well, it'll do.

[hum0r]
Portal Of Evil
If you really want to impress your friends with your ability to find all that which is sick and wrong on the Internet, you must bookmark the Portal of Evil. It is quite simply the most powerful and useful browsing tool in existence. Period.

[comix]
PVP Online
A decent comic about a gaming magazine, although they seem to focus mostly on MMORPG's.

[hum0r]
RealHamster
What do you get the man who has everything?

[hum0r]
Seanbaby
Really funny stuff regarding comic books, the NES, and all sorts of terribly uncool things. Run by a skinny guy with green hair and latex pants who claims he's not gay. Hey, we're not here to judge.

[comix]
Sexy Losers
You know, it's about time somebody made a webcomic about HOT LOLITA NAKED FUCKING NECROPHILIAC ANAL ORGY SODOMY TEENS...

[gamez]
Shacknews
Gaming news. This one time, we got a pk3 file there that dropped the frame rate on Q3 a lot. Don't have much else to say.

[comix]
Sinfest
Kinda like Calvin and Hobbes, except way more ghetto.

[comix]
Sluggy Freelance
A very enjoyable geek comic. The storyline incorporates just about every genre out there. Lots of continuity - the first read through the archives makes for a terrific experience.

[hum0r, toolz]
Snopes
So have you heard about the secret ingredient in Crest toothpaste? Snopes checks out and verifies or debunks urban legends. If it sounds too weird to be true, it might be wise to check it out here before you repeat it to somebody who knows better.

[hum0r]
Time Cube
If the first millenium was dominated by religion, and the second millenium by science, the third will be dominated by the philosophy of Gene Ray. Get in on the ground floor and memorize this entire web site now, before the revolution comes and you find yourself on the wrong side.
Update: Gene Ray recently spoke at MIT regarding the Time Cube phenomenon.

[toolz]
Webmonkey
Lots and lots of clear tutorials and reference materials covering everything you want to know about web design and programming. HTML, JavaScript, Perl, PHP, whatever. If you want to learn it, ask the Monkey.

[comix]
When I Grow Up
Pretty good comic about post-college twentysomethings. Or something.
