      List your biggest internet time sinks

      A lot of us like to spend time on the internet when we're bored. Sometimes, there is little else to do. At some sites, you can waste literally hours and hours doing nothing but reading, playing games, watching videos, etc. I call these "time sinks" because they're places where you can dump all of your time down the drain. A few of them can become quite addictive.


      A few of mine:

      As nerdy as it is: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Main_Page
      xkcd is known to have documented the phenomenon: http://xkcd.com/214/

      Even nerdier: http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/HomePage
      Once again, xkcd covers it: http://xkcd.com/609/

      And, where I get all of my "stoner news" about the legalization front. (Please excuse if linking to another forum is against the rules.)

      My favorite MMORPG: http://www.kingdomofloathing.com

      And before anybody else does, I'm going meta: http://www.dreamviews.com/community/index.php


      Other places, like webcomics, I've "archive binged," wherein I've read every single thing on a website in the past, and now only keep up with their updates:

      http://xkcd.com/

      http://www.mspaintadventures.com/

      http://www.somethingawful.com/d/comedy-goldmine/

      http://failblog.org/


      So, DV, where do you like to waste time on the internet?

      Check out the (now discontinued) webcomic, Men in Hats
      The black hat guy in XKCD is based on Aram from this comic

      Time sinks....
      well, most of my time is spent in my email client & RSS news reader

      I'm subscribed to a fair few podcasts (usually have 1 a day to listen to), but don't think that counts as an internet time sink, really

      SitePoint, A List Apart, NetTuts, W3CSchools and random other web dev sites and blogs take up a considerable portion of my time not spent here or at another lucid dreaming forum. IMDB and Wikipedia are useful, and I do spend some time there looking up random movies or subjects.

      XKCD is about the only webcomic I really read anymore. I'm up to date, as I archive binged, as you called it, one night. When I take my spells to visit there, BladeForums is a major time sink.

      I don't think XKCD is that funny, honestly. Super Mega Comics, Perry Bible Fellowship, and Toothpaste for Dinner are the ones I like.

      cinemassacre.com, home of the Angry Video Game Nerd and other hilarious James Rolfe productions. I could rewatch every AVGN episode a hundred times before it gets stale for me.

      I used to waste a lot of time on newgrounds.com and other various sites hosting animated flash movies. I'd start visiting them again, but they're really not like what they used to be.

      Geekologie is awesome for random cool shit. 90% of all bacon pictures I've posted on this forum are from there.

      And of course, DV. I burn more time here than any other site, by far.
