Interesting Tidbits

FARK.com - Ever wonder where they get all those weird stories on the news? FARK seems to get a lot of submissions from their visitors, and thus, is able to keep a constant flow of content going containing news from all over the world, though Americans seem to be the butt of quite a few articles ;0) Thanks to Kate Brindle for the heads up!

Number2.com - Since I am preparing to take the GRE sometime in the near future, finding things to help me prepare is a top priority. This site not only provides free GRE help, but SAT and ACT as well. If you are looking for a little extra boost in your studies, check it out!

MAME - Stands for Multiple Arcade Machine Emulator. The definitive program to play old arcade games on your very own PC! Some question the legality of software like this, but the intent is to keep the game alive even though the actual machine may no longer exist. The MAME program is free, but the ROMS (the game itself) are still considered copyrighted material.

Red Alert 2 - A great addition to the Command & Conquer universe. I play this game often! Play as either Allies or Soviets in a war for world domination! Developed by Westwood Studios.

SubSpace / Continuum - One heck of a FREE online game! For those of you afflicted with modem Internet connections, you'll have little trouble with this top-down view shooter! "Meet people from all over the world, then kill them..." is the motto of this game.

HampsterDance.com - How one can create something so popular out of such a lame idea, I'll never know! You'd be surprised just how many people visit this site. If you like cute furry things, this is a place to voice it. If you like to mutilate cute furry things, get help!

Slashdot - News for nerds. Insider information on just what is going on in nerdland. Always a good read. Unix and Linux are often mentioned on the the site.

PVP (Player Versus Player) - My favorite online comic. Deals with things surrounding the video game industry. No entirely limited to games, many other subjects are often made fun of on this well-drawn comic. Updated nearly every day of the year!

Penny Arcade - Another online comic I look at often. Not updated as much as PVP, but still good nevertheless.

SNES Front End Reveiw - No longer under construction. One of the first web pages I ever made. All the graphics (for the most part) were made by me as well as content. This site taught me much about just how hard it is to make a web page. One part I particularly enjoyed was making the news update section, which I injected some of my own personal humor on most days.
