Links
Friend's websites:
Mirei 5: It's Julie's website with her art, photos, biog, and links.
TheEternity: Dan's site
Procrastination:
Real Life Comics: Pretty funny comic about a couple of PC gamers and their lives in a comic. You must be addicted to computer games to really appreciate this strip.
It's Walky Comics: Another online comic, haven't really gotten into the plot to really appreciate it yet, and I need to start from the beginning but meh, that'll only take an hour or two.
Rinkworks: A really good site to visit to procrastinate or to kill some time when there's nothing to do. Personally, the parts you should visit first are I-Think, Computer Stupidities, Things People Said, Don't throw a brick straight up, How to be persuasive, Book-a-Minute and Movie-a-Minute.
Where's George: Ever thought about where's your money's been? This site helps you track the location of money. People type in the serial number of the bill and their location. Then you do the same, and if the serial number matches, the site tells you how far and how long ago the bill has traveled. Sort of a nice concept, but I've only hit one bill, every other one I registered have been initial entries.
Spaced Penguin: Rather addictive game where you try to send a penguin through space, navigate past planets, which have gravity, and get the penguin to the spacecraft... yea...
Anime Music Videos: Like Anime? (to an unhealthy level) Like Music? Like Anime and Music together? Got bandwidth to spare? Download anime music videos that other people have made. Some are good, some are funny, and some... well... could be better. Search by anime, song, artist, etc. Or, get hints, tips and support for making your own.
Game FAQs: Need help with a game? This site has guides, walkthroughs, tips etc. for most games that exist.
Program Websites:
Grokster/Kazaa (PC): Good for finding music and popular videos
Direct Connect (PC): Somewhat complicated at first, but has a much larger amount of files on the network, but doesn't support downloading same file from multiple people and sometimes its a bitch to download off of someone. Total of all servers reaches ~4-5 Petabytes, but you can only visit one server at a time (usually a good server is around 15 terabyte avaliable)
DC++ (PC): Same as direct connect, but better for downloading, but not accepted on all servers (banned by several servers.)
WinAmp (PC): Good popular music player. Can get hefty after a while after downloading a plethora of plugins and stacking them. Visualizations are neat, if you have a good video card.
Games I'm Stalking/Playing:
Counter Strike: Condition Zero

Sim City 4 (PC): Sequel to Sim City

sweet. 'Nuf Said
PC: 1/14/2003
Need For Speed: Hot Pursuit 2
(PC/X-BOX/PS2): Next game in the Need for Speed series and sequel to NFS: Hot
Pursuit, but you could of guessed that. Racing sim, but the reason this is
different is that you can race with cops on the map, or you can be the cop
(which is what I usually do) and stop them speeders.
X-BOX/PS2: 10/7/2002
PC: 10/21/2002
Industry Giant 2 (PC): Sequel to
Industry Giant, not a very well know game, you are given a piece of land with
some small cities, and you take the natural resources and build up a successful
industry.
Released ... In Europe that is...
WarCraft III (PC/MAC): Only a couple of
years late, but its finally here. Pretty good game, nice graphics, but I
never really was into Real Time Strategy games in the first place.
Released
Command and Conquer: Generals (PC):
next in the C&C series. This time, its the US vs. China vs. Terrorist
faction. Graphics look very nice, and the Chinese have hackers hehe.
Not yet released
Starcraft: Ghost (Console): 3rd
Person shooter based on Starcraft. About time someone made one. But
I believe that it will have to be really good because they decided to make it
console only (pitiful fools).
