Hey Escapist, what are your favorite Internet time-wasters?

[Flishiz]

So with the summer vacation now in full swing, and having no money to buy games and watched all the good stuff on The Escapist, I'm massively bored with nothing but the vast expanse of the Internet to keep me entertained. Question is, where do I go? Or rather, where do you all tend to go to get your online entertainment, drip-feed style?

why not replay your old games.

i would think youtube would be a good place to go. not that special but you can find hours of videos on any topic you want.

I watch Let's Plays. Tipping Forties does a good one

Other than that, I just look around for free stuff you can find online. This site has a backlog of shows I have not seen.

EDIT: Also, "The Busy Street [http://thebusystreet.com/]" is a funny blog I like. It is super negative, and very satirical, and makes fun of anyone and everyone. They've taken potshots at most gaming websites (Even this one, to a lesser degree), and have a "hate-on" for Spoony and TGWTG. However, if you can laugh a bit at what they say, it is worth your time.

I wish I could replay my old games but I already play them to DEATH. Seriously I've played games like KOTOR and Freelancer so many times I could do it with my eyes closed.

About youtube though...are there any good channels or performers? I mean funny nutshots will only last so long, and I'm more into finding a good series that can keep me at my screen from 10 in the morning to 4 AM, like Freeman's Mind.

Books are a good to pass the hour, especially anything by G.G. or try writing, or look up some history. NEVER STOP LEARNING DURING THE SUMMER!

If I just feel like killing some time, TVTropes usually gets the job done.

Play League of Legends, it's a free DOTA game that is constantly is updated with new characters. It is surprisingly deep and addictive.

i could spend hours going through i-am-bored.com

i also enjoy watching any new video's from my favourite lets play'ers the YogsCast. many hours could be spent on youtube though.

or you could try reading books, a very good way to pass the time.

oooooooooor, there are some very good free to play games around, 2 of my favourites are alien swarm, and global agenda, both on steam.

Once I ran out of MLP, I just watched any videos I could find. Ever see any of the Rage Quit videos that Achievement Hunter puts out? Those are absolute riots!

Wikipedia and TvTropes suck out quite a bit of my time.
That or you can go with my classic boring Summer strategy, sleep.
Just, sleep. All your free time, devote it to sleeping. Don't put in time for eating.
Get up, go to work/school, go home, sleep, and repeat.

 

[FalloutJack]

What, you need to know?

The Escapist and Newgrounds, of course.
