Websites you're addicted to

Post by RoboBlue »

I'm currently addicted to http://www.cracked.com's top x lists of whatever crazy item catches my interests.
What are you addicted to?

Yeah, cracked.com kinda hooked me a bit recently. But besides my religious following of xkcd, Cyanide & Happiness, PCKF/K:M, pandorapress.net and, of course, Facebook, I don't think there's any particular site I'm really 'addicted' to. I just search up topics that catch my interest, get the gist of it and maybe follow a few links deep. If it's taking up too much of my time I drop it.

No, I'm generally not the addictive type, and I can close tvtropes again after one or two tabs.

It's mostly things that I can contribute to in some way that get me hooked, like the PCKF/K:M or the KeenWiki

Well, I can live without either, but I visit facebook and ppmsite (a modding forum) daily.

The pckf (oh fucl, bet you didn't see that coming :crazy )
Serebii.net for all the latest pokemon news
Youtube
The phforums to a slight degree... they're a small community like us, but the difference is they're a bunch of mean gargs :garg
Just recently started checking on doomworld again, cuz I'll be uploading a mod soon.

Of course we all know what tvtropes can do and try to avoid it.

Well... I'll just screencap the little link bar I have at the top of my browser. From left to right in matter of likeage.

EDIT: I made it a link as the image stretched out the forums.

I rarely log in to KOL anymore so that shows you what I usually spend what little time I use surfing the internet on.



I USED to be into :
Order of the Stick. A webcomic that's not really updated regularly and the story is really getting out of hand and needs to be wrapped up before it dies.

Catharsis. A webcomic who the author became an arrogant wench and ground her webcomic into the dirt with salt, then came back with a flamethrower to destroy the fans who stuck around.

Homestar Runner. Homestar Runner is dead.

Sites that, when I visit them, waste at least an hour of my day, usually more. Cinemassacre was another one, until I caught up with it. Slashdot counts in a lesser manner (I have to feel like it), but the comments section can suck your time away too.
Wow look at me I'm lurking

The usual: TV Tropes and PCKF. I also have PCKF-level checking/posting an obscure forum composed of physicalspace friends inviting friends. Oh, and although I only check up on it when it updates, I adore Gunnerkrigg Court.

There's a bunch of sites I visit every day:

-PCKF
-Keen:Modding (well, when I remember to)
-Facebook (yeah, yeah...)
-Cheezburger network: Failblog, Failbooking, Art of Trolling, EpicWinFTW, etc... I used to visit more, but it's just too much to keep track of. :dead
-Cyanide and Happiness
-Dinosaur Comics
-xkcd
-Saturday Morning Breakfast Cereal
-Brawl in the Family (even though they don't update every day... and not all of them are really that funny)
-boyinaband.com (good site for tutorials on how to make electronic music)
-YouTube (I don't surf it every day, but I'm subscribed to a couple of people.)
-Gmail, of course.
-DeviantArt

There's probably a few others, too. And there's more when I use Linux, like Ubuntu Forums... but I generally don't check them anymore, since I've been using Windows lately.

...I need a life.

Thanks for that!

I won't bother with repeating what others have said. I visit www.radiohead.com every day looking for updates :P
Oh, and of course my.monash :P

Whenever I'm on the internet I make sure to check Cracked.com as well as Lamebook.com (probably not as much recently, but for a while they had some pretty entertaining submissions on a regular basis). I get hooked on tvtropes whenever I happen to end up there.

I check here pretty often too.
