Sites To Know
Welcome to the gateway to strange and wonderful new places! These are the sites I go to most regularly to keep up to date on geek topics. I have mentioned all of them at some point in the blog entries and doubt I could survive without each and every one.
Be sure and check them out!
Anime DataBase
– Sort a like a Wikipedia for anime, a database of information users can edit and add to. Great anime resource!
AnimeNfo
– Search for anime titled, reviews, rankings, even with the occasional poll thrown in too.
CtrlAltDel
– One of the web comics I frequent, a classic and highly popular one mostly featuring its geek main characters in their natural environments.
DarkHorse Comics
– The official site for one of my favorite comic publishers, known best for titles like Buffy and Hellboy.
DC Comics
– The official site for DC Comics, home of Batman, Green Lantern, and so much more.
Digg
– A site for people to discover and post content from anywhere on the web, like pictures, articles, and video.
– I think everyone knows the social media site Facebook by now and probably has an account. Spend too much time on it and you’re wasting hours away, but it can be a great place to network, stay connected with friends, and plan events.
FanFiction.net
– My fanfiction site of choice for almost 10 years now (that makes me feel old) where anyone can post and read fanfiction from every conceivable category, as well as give and receive feedback.
G4 TV
– The official site for the G4 network, home of X-Play and one of my favorite news podcasts, “The MMO Report”, all about the many MMOs active today.
Hulu
– If you don’t know about this amazing site for watching new and classic television episodes for free with minimal web commercials, you are missing OUT. Missed a new premier? No problem. Look for it on Hulu.
IGN
– One of the best multimedia news and reviews website out there, focusing mainly on video games.
IMDB
– Arguably the site I use most often, ideal for searching information on movies old and new, actors, directors, you name it. The Internet Movie DataBase.
Kotaku
– The gamer’s guide. No, really. THE guide. For all platforms, news, reviews, everything you want to know.
Least I Could Do
– Another webcomic, one my husband introduced me to, this one a little dirtier, following some older geek characters, one in particular with quite the libido.
LiveJournal
– This is one of those sites I am sure you all already know well, a gathering spot for all walks of life, for blogging and like-minded communities, sharing information (like fanfiction) and much more.
Marvel Comics
– The official site for Marvel comics. Find out what is going on in the universe, purchase or read excerpts from the newest issues, and more!
Penny Arcade
– Probably the most successful and well-known webcomic of all time, following the misadventures of Gabriel and Tycho in their geek filled world with commentary on everything from the newest MMO to D&D.
That Guy With The Glasses
– A nicely varied site best known for the Nostalgia Critic podcast about movies, television, etc. of the past. As he puts it “I remember it so you don’t have to.”
The Escapist
– Another video gaming site for the active gamer. I frequent the site mostly for the sarcastic podcast game reviews of Zero Punctuation.
– Not everyone tweets, and if you don’t, and don’t even know what tweeting IS, check out Twitter, the up and coming social media site for communicating 140 characters at a time. There are many interesting people to follow, including me, MissSuperCube.
Wikipedia
– The online dictionary written for and by all who might frequent the site. Some entries have been locked, no longer allowing additions to keep people from offending one another, and all information should be taken with a grain of salt, but it can be a great quick resource.
