Come on... You've all got 'em. You can't wait to share them. Here's the place.

The next time someone tells me how vitally important it is to my livelihood and well-being that I get on Second Life, I'm going to point them here:

My List O'links!

Rooster Teeth produces amusing videos they made in Halo. Very funny. Worth checking out. I’m not a Halo fan, but I love these videos.

The Flying Spaghetti Monster, a satire on intelligent design or a world religion? Does it really matter? This is kind of pimping myself here, as I wrote an essay in the Gospel of the Flying Spaghetti monster. I think that makes me one of his chosen Prophets, but as you are allowed to be very lazy in this particular religious faith, I think it’s okay that I’ve been rather lax in spreading the word. I hope this link satisfies his noodlyness.

Cute Overload. It’s my secret shame that I like to look at, as my roommates say, “cute porn”. It’s not really porn of course, unless your subjective definition includes frolicking kittens and tiny turtles. Due to the number of hits it gets and the web awards, I am not alone in my love for this site.

www.cuteoverload.com

Furmentation is one of my favorite webcomics. It’s an epic about hamsters. Really.

No, I’m not kidding.

Even though most of my family are Mac users, many of them are totally baffled by even the simplest operations.

So I send them this link -

And tell them I have made reservations in their name.

Several of my regular ports of call:

www.angels2200.com
Currently being rebuilt following a server crash. Stunningly good science fiction webcomic dealing with the crew of a decrepit carrier, being sent into a mission far more complicated and dangerous than they were led to believe. Sort of Battlestar Galactica, but with more humour.

www.warrenellis.com
English comic writer and now novelist. His website is currently a rolling research blog of photos, music, movies, current affairs and websites. If you don't like what's on there in the morning, check back at night, chances are it will all have changed.

www.smashingtelly.com
A links page describing itself as linking to 'the best free movies and TV programs available on the web'. It's all either google video or youtube stuff and the variety is astonishing. A documentary about ghosts on the London Underground sits next to coverage of the Web 2.0 conference at Davos and just up from The Day The Earth Stood Still. Oh and the Turkish version of Star Wars. Updated daily.

http://www.comics.com/comics/getfuzzy/
Rob's dog Satchel is an amiable, perpetually hungry idiot. Rob's cat Bucky is a 1 foot nothing ball of hate, so angry his ears are back ALL THE TIME. Inspired lunacy and the only website you'll ever see featuring a cat duct taping a phone to himself.

www.marvinsuicide.org
Host of one of Resonance FM's regular shows. Not only are they worth your time but Marvin's own website is a vital stop for anyone interested in new music. He's been doing this for over a hundred shows, the first 110 of which are archived on the site with complete track listings and details of where to download the tracks from. Marvin is dedicated to tracking down the best new, free music on the internet and he does a fantastic job of it. An essential site for music fans.

www.shortpacked.com
Up until eighteen months ago, I ran an asylum which looked, to all intents and purposes, like a comic shop. Shortpacked, whilst set in a toy shop, gives me regular moments of sweaty palmed recognition as well as making me laugh. A lot.

If you feel like seeing something get destroyed in a blender.. then perhaps this link is for you:

These people are really insane, they will put almost everything in that blender to see if they can destroy it. Even an iPod...

If we are presenting alternatives to wikipedia (I am not a fan) please try Colbert's

Which is intentionally a Truthiness encyclopedia (Wikipedia is only accidently such).

Heh, I knew I should've copy-pasted the url, instead of writing it.

It's not silly (although it's frequently funny) but it might be appreciated here: Bad Science refuses to let misinterpretation of science by the media lie.

Among my favorites are DM of the Rings, PVP, and Paul & Storm.
