Other than the billions of blogs on my Blogroll, I have some sites/other stuff that I recommend to all!
Websites
- Yes, I went there. Google. If you haven’t heard of it, you are a fruitpan. Figured I’d start with the easy ones, to ease you into the viewing process.
- Penny Arcade
- If you’re into videogames at all, this is a good read and a great way to suss out games before you buy. Especially if you’re in New Zealand, where games come out 6 months later than everywhere else. These guys are usually spot on in their reviews/opinions of games and the comics are funny too.
- Cyanide and Happiness
- If you haven’t heard of this, you are forgiven. I didn’t check it out ’til late last year. Lovely morbid, dark humour for those who have a darker sense of humour.
- Youtube
- Once again, if you haven’t heard of this, you are a meatsack. Youtube has become one of the biggest things on the internet and is widely accepted - even among the mainstream technophobes! Some videos of interest:
- Interpretation of “Fucking Hostile - Pantera”, and anything else by Cheekydave777. Funny as hell, regardless of your musical listening tastes.
- Yu-Gi-Oh: The Abridged Series (Episode 1). Couldn’t find the original one - I think it’s because he was kicked off for using copyrighted material. So, this link may be unstable. I’m, admittedly, a Yu-Gi-Nerd, complete with cards (though I’m recovering and intend to sell my expensive addiction), and this series of reworked Yu-Gi-Oh anime is pretty good. Even those without a liking for Yu-Gi-Oh would find it funny. Maybe.
- Bah. Too many ‘Ask a Ninja’. Just search it. Funny also.
- Same deal. And I couldn’t be assed. Search ‘GI Joe’, click one, and you’ll be rewarded with an uncontrollable urge to laugh.
- Sidereel
- The best place to go if you wanna watch any TV show from anywhere. Dal recently discovered this and it has been a great asset for watching shows we’ve missed/never got over here in NZ. I could list recommended TV shows, but if you look, you’ll find what you want.
- Uncyclopedia
- Think Wikipedia but with mis-information. Quite a ripping good laugh at times. Though it has a whole lot of shit (read: unfunny writers) to wade through to get to the grass underneath.
- Neatorama
- I guess this should go on my blogroll, but I see it more as a general interest site. Which is what a blog is. Bah!
- The Skeptic’s Dictionary
- For those times when someone is going on about fanciful things, like ghosts, ESP or even God, consult ‘The Skeptic’s Dictionary’.
- The Best Page in the Universe (Maddox)
- Angry guy with a computer. Ranting about stuff vehemontly. Pretty good reading.
TV stuff. You could probably just Youtube/Sidereel these or whatever.
- Metalocalypse
- This is one of the funniest shows of all time. It’s an Adult Swim show about a metal band called Dethklok and stuff that happens to them. Highly recommend acquiring. Also, don’t forget their album, ‘Dethalbum’. They make good metal too.
- Harvey Birdman: Attorney at Law
- Another Adult Swim work of genius. Some guys used a whole lot of Hanna Barbera cartoon characters and put them in a legal setting. Check it out sometime.
- Dexter
- A TV show Dal and I recently finished on Sidereel. A damned good show and probably the only one that’s got me so involved in it. Bears a big similarity to…
- Death Note
- The best anime I have seen yet (I have yet to see Hellsing, which I hear is good). Though the concept doesn’t seem compelling at first, it quickly showed it’s worth.
- Other animes: Naruto, Full Metal Alchemist, Samurai Champloo, Trigun, etc
- All of these are pretty damn good. Especially Samurai Champloo. That has a special place for me…
- Family Guy and Southpark
- Obvious ones that you should already know of. Family Guy is at its best in the first 3 seasons. Then it stales out a bit.
Games
This list is by no means complete, but I can’t be assed adding any more.
