Over here, great spot
for time wasting.
Summary:
A site mostly for tech-geeks (read: boys).
Also they are the official online news-source for CES(Consumer Electronics Show), the greatest nerd convention.
Likes:
They update 24/7, though during weekend there are less posts as there's less to report.
I prefer it over other tech sites mostly due to the clean overlay.
Dislikes:
Some news are 1-2 days old since they're quoted from other sites.
Apple-Android-WP7-troll battles in comments.
Summary:
Daily life problems merged into simple, but original comic drawing.
Likes:
Theres a new comic every monday, wednesday and friday.
It seems that 3 different guys draw these, so if you happen to not like one,
just skip it till the next one is published.
You can browse through all the old ones.
Dislikes:
Sometimes more like facts than a laughing matter.
Let's Plays and Animations
Main summary:
People playing games while giving a (mostly funny) commentary alongside.
The plattform used is youtube. In the following I'll present a couple of channels.
And .. animations are animations.
SSOHPKC (Let's player)
Seamus:
He is a relaxed (and sometimes sarcastic) commentator.
Voice is easy to listen to.
Uploads a lot, like 5-6 videos a day.
Played games range from Mario hacks to Elder Scrolls/Fallout and Blockbusters like Assassins Creed. Also does Minecraft hacks and Terraria from time to time.
Has an extra channel for real life topics.
Possible dislikes:
To be blunt: He hates puzzles and mostly sucks there. Some people seem to not like it.
Nova (Let's player)
Nova himself:
A very funny and hilarious commentator who likes to fuck around doing ridiculous stunts.
A funny voice with lots of laughs and occasionally some crying (lol).
Uploads a lot too but once in a while takes a one day break.
Plays more fun games and mostly cooperates with other Let's players in multiplayer games (i.e. Seamus).
Listens to requests if enough people ask for it and if it's acceptable (like facecam or games).
Possible dislikes:
Everyone loves Nova.
Helloween4545 (Let's player)
The commentator:
A very humerous commentator from Great Britain/North Ireland with a lovely accent.
As his name suggests, he loves to play horror games.
He only does one series(read: game) a time and uploads like one or two sets a week of ~20 min gameplay.
Possible dislikes:
Can't think of any .. maybe that he uploads fewer than the others, but that's ok I guess. Oh, and he likes to molest his enemies .. . ;)
agentjr (Let's player)
The commentator:
Also a humerous commentator.
His positive aspect is that he plays the more or less non-casual and "unusual" games that seem simple, but as he advances they prove to be very interesting.
He also only does one series a time and uploads well ... in spikes. That means that sometimes he uploads everyday once or doesnt for weeks. Still a very intersting gamer.
Check out his Silent Hill playthroughs !
Possible dislikes:
He uploads very few compared to the others but as compensations he does streams from time to time. (You watch and comment him while he plays in realtime.)
MondoMedia (Animations)
MondoMedia itself:
The famous group responsible for the Happy Tree Friends Series.
At one time they stopped doing Happy Tree Friends and rather uploaded
animations series from other people (with their permission).
That includes famous series like Dick Figures, Baman & Piderman, Destructo Box or Goodbye Kitty.
Now it seems that they start uploading new Happy Tree Friends Episodes.
Possible dislikes:
Many viewers rage in the video comments if their favourite series hasn't been updated ... which I don't understand as it simply takes time to create animations.
Secret Agent Bob (Animations)
What Secret Agent Bob is about:
Many very well animated and funny videos.
Be sure to check out Lamas with hats, Charlie the unicorn and all other invidual ones!
Possible dislikes:
Lately took an long upload break, but he updated that hes working hard on many new animations !
Summary:
A site where everyone uploads funny or astonishing photos or videos.
To ensure good quality they have a voting system, so that only good ones make it to the main page (called Hot!).
The overlay is clean and there's barely any advertising.
Likes:
Some very original and funny stuff up there. Once you've started , there's no escape from it, till you've watched all of them, you have been warned!
Dislikes:
Sometimes pictures get reposted. Reported ones get deleted but some, even though very few, remain.
Summary:
A great intro for poker with many tutorials and free coachings (you watch them play live and can ask questions).
To help you get in, after answering a Quiz you get 50$ on the pokerwebsite of your choice for free (Only for first timers).
Likes:
A well organized website.
They teach you how it works and let you start play with their money.
You don't have any risks.
They offer free tutorials, a poker-blog, videos of staff members playing and the mentioned coachings.
The forum is also full of good players who can answer you questions.
Dislikes:
A status system restricting access to better content (You need to play much and good to rank up, then you get access to advanced tutorials).
It makes sense as in: Don't start with the complicated techniques before you've mastered the basics. Still I think they should lower the limitations.
My advice:
Only play for fun, don't regard it as a job for earning money. Also, take a big poker site like PokerStars.
More to come ...
