This is good too, though IMO Blode 2+3 majorly suck, only Blode 1 and Frightened little boy are worth it, plus the crabs and various oddball flash games.

Probably only funny if you're a linux geek. www.slashdot.org <-- Technology news, updated around the clock www.everything2.com <-- basically the RL equivalent of the Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy (The database in the novel, not the novel itself)
machall.keenspace.com <-- probably the best art I've seen in an online comic sofar www.plif.com <-- The Parking Lot is Full - think "The Farside", but cynical and twisted. Contains some mature themes. Edited by: Nenneth at: 1/9/02 10:17:22 am
He's got a radio show. If you're into that stuff you should find your local affiliate. Fun stuff to listen to, as long as you don't take it too seriously.
Art Bell is cool. Unfortunately alot of people who talk to him are nutjobs and alot of his stuff is fake. Don't get me wrong, I'm not saying "all this stuff is fake and people who belive in it must be nutjobs" but I know my @#%$ on those topics and alot of them are obvious fakes and nutjobs.
As for that chip and dale thing. I had to laugh. I used to play that game for nintendo all the time (= I beat it!
Yeah, thats why I said don't take it too seriously. They do have a lot of out there stuff. However, the parts that are more realistic and might actually have some truth to them are pretty interesting.
I'm a sucker for ghost stories and all that paranormal stuff though. Even if I don't think its real (which most of it isn't) its a lot of fun to listen to.
