Tavern of the Blue Hand

Santrilla · 01-30-2003, 03:07 AM

Thought I'd update... There are a few webcomics I read, in particular One Over Zero. Other than that, I often browse KeenSpace for more, but the site's recently gone through a server crash. Grr.

Oh, and my LiveJournal too, of course.

I just want to clarify... this thread is NOT for you to promote porn sites.

shadowfyr · 02-12-2003, 03:06 PM

Clerify to whom? On consideration there are a couple of comics I listed that are probably technically R-Rated with MA, AL and AC as movie channels would label them, but so far we haven't had any one that dumb. Unless you count Hotmail, which seems to be the dumping ground for every low end, cheap, no-content or outright illegal sites in existance, and I forgot to list that. lol

Still... There may be some moron out there that would be stupid enough to post such, so good idea pointing it out.

Orion Elder · 02-12-2003, 03:49 PM

Well, there is a big difference between mature content and sites where the first thing you see on the page is a banner showing sexual acts, nude men and women, and the like. There have been, so far, two such sites posted as far as I know, and I've deleted both. If I've missed any, feel free to let me know.

Keahi · 02-21-2003, 11:00 PM

I think most of my regular haunts have already been mentioned (SlashDot, TheOnion, Fark, Plastic, NYT, Movies.com). You guys apparently have good taste.

Thank you to whoever it was who linked Satire.com; why do the good ones always die? I sorely miss Suck's Filler too.

Here're a couple more (sorry if these too have already been posted and I missed 'em):

Phil Plait's Bad Astronomy
The Internet Movie Database

K, who spends too much time at her keyboard, obviously

There is something fascinating about science. One gets such wholesale returns of conjecture out of such a trifling investment of fact.

)

Other sites:

Gunbound-HQ (gotta catch them updates)
Gladiator Arena

like I said, maybe not the most impressive list, but it's all part of my daily internet check routine.

Cuderon · 04-26-2004, 06:13 PM

Gunchello is worth a visit, too.

There is some great medieval music by Estampie downloadable on their website: http://www.estampie.de/index2.html

Just look out for the underlined songtitles in the Discographie category.

Gemini · 04-27-2004, 12:13 PM

Anything with historical themes basically. Maybe because I'm a historian.

That and websites on film and literature like IMDB, etc.

Take care,

Jason

Ilkidarios · 04-07-2006, 02:53 PM

I think this was mentioned before, but Arcadepod has some pretty good free games that don't get you too involved. Good for someone with limited time and a small budget like me.

A similar website is Candystand, it's a website with lots of games centered around Nabisco products. There's also Shockwave, which has a lot of flash games using Macromedia Shockwave.

Threshold · 04-14-2006, 04:52 PM

I'm a big fan of John C. Dvorak. He analyzes and editorializes on a lot of various tech issues. I used to love his old Silicon Spin tv show on Tech Tv. He also tends to read and post to the comments/forum for each of his articles which can make for some interesting exchanges as well.

Since it came up in another thread, here is a really interesting site MUDders might find interesting:

Forums, news and I update the site content regularly.

Top MUD Sites - http://www.topmudsites.com/
Forums.

MudRanger - http://www.mudranger.com/
News.

I visit every site listed in AMRO atleast once during each month. I also visit a few non-affiliates periodically who post new editorials, interviews and humor.

Odd, this is the second link to mudranger.com I've seen in this thread. Has anyone actually visited this link?

All I get when I surf to it is one of those search pages that you see when a domain expires or has gone defunct.

Luthien · 04-15-2006, 07:46 PM

some repeats..

some not quite so common

You might want to look at posts that aren't 4 years old if you're hoping for up-to-date links.

Ilkidarios · 04-16-2006, 11:28 AM

Space.com has been a part of my daily ritual for a long time. You can check it out for all the latest space news. Space.com also has lots of cool images of space, I've got one of the hubble images off there as my wallpaper.
