What do YOU do on the internet?

[T.H.O.R]

Besides Porn, what do those of you out there in Virtual Suburbia do to kill time, or have fun on the intarwebz?

I personally find myself browsing a few forums here and there, reading the webcomics when they're updated. And on Wednesdays watching the Zero Punct. review for the week (and checking for a new unforgotten realms). Also, I will spend an hour or so playing CoD4, occasionally messing with the Spore creator, and even more rare tapping into one of my dusty oldies; Diablo(1&2), Sins of a Solar Empire, Ye olde C&C...but I find myself bored quickly with those overplayed has-beens.

Mostly though I find myself wishing Diablo III, or Fable 2 was out...either that or a good 'ol fashioned Gear-Grinding (non-MMO) dungeon crawler...like Diablo, Diablo II, Champions of Norrath, Baldur's Gate, and D&D Heroes...Sadly, a dying Genre.

Sorry about that tangent there; Anyways...Don't get me wrong, I jog 8 miles a day, play ice-hockey 3 days out of the week, and ride a bike with my wife 2 days out of the week..so I'm no shut-in.

However; occasionally when I've read the forums, checked my email, and know that I'm up to date on the web-comics I read, I find myself sitting at the computer thinking. Ok...what now?

I lurk in a lot of forums. I love watching people argue online though.
I haven't had a lot of time lately but I usually watch video game reviews on YouTube. There's a lot of really good and funny reviewers that really deserve to be discovered by someone.

Not including porn?! Jeez, the narrows it down. This, youtube and webcomics. I have little of an internet life other then here. I rather keep it that way. It's a scary place full of lolcats and goatsies... and porn.

 

[stompy]

talk on The Escapist

That, webcomics, MSN (if that's counted), research (both school and not) and general interblarg surfing. OH, and a bit of BF2142, anime watching, and other video watching (bar porn of course).

 

[N-Sef]

MSN, forums, gaming news, podcasts, checking up on comics (as in Marvel, Image, Dark Horse, DC etc) and Youtube. That's it really.

 

[Fire Daemon]

Here, Youtube, Sarcastic Gamer, Rooster Teeth, Machinima.com and the best page in the universe.

Thats about it.

 

[Caboose669]

Facebook, Forums and the BBC news page as I like to keep up to date about crap and stuff.

Facebook is the bane of the fact that I spend a million hours on the Internet... and the Escapist of course but at least that's nothing to be ashamed of. The other day my friend made a fleeting reference to a friend at Uni, to which I could then tell him her last name and several other facts about her... despite not having ever met her, just because of Facebook.

[Rob Sharona]

I look at all the fun I could be having with real people via facebook and myspace, then I look for videos of people falling over on youtube istead.

19 different webcomic sites, some of which have more than 1 comic, Wikipedia, UrbanDead, HomeStarRunner, The Escapists, Halolz, DeviantART, Scaring myself for life on YouTube, I lurk the ScrewAttack Forums, and 1fort.

No, I don't spend my entire day on the internet. I usually just check them all in the morning for updates and then go do other stuff.

I lurk on these forums and enjoy my Stumble button entirely too much for my own good. I usually don't find other forums to my liking. I enjoy the level of moderation on this one because I deal with less stupid people (aka trolls).

My computer's practically always on my lap when I'm home, but for the most part I'll have one of the couple of books I'm working on open. I'm constantly reading through what I have to add, subtract, or fix things, hoping it'll spur my imagination into writing something to come next. Understandably, my plot gets jagged and confusing, but that's easily fixed after the fact, lol. I'd like to do more PC Gaming and I know my laptop will support a nice chunk of games that are out, but it's over a year old and can't support some of the newer ones, for sure. I'd rather have a really nice desktop machine for Gaming; less chance of carpal tunnel and back issues. I don't even have a mouse to hook up to this laptop; it's just me, the tiny keyboard, and the touch pad. I priced a pretty good gaming desktop from Dell at $1,300 yesterday, but I'm incapable of saving up that much money with my piss-poor paycheck.
