1. Google - The best search engine to find practically anything in no time.

2. Wikipedia - The worlds biggest free Encyclopedia. A mammoth of information.

3. IMDb - A place where you can look up and discuss any movie/TV show. Very convinient.

4. eBay - Where I make half of my income.

5. YouTube - The best place to waste hours of your life. Thousands of free videos.

6. mininova/TorrentSpy - Download Heaven.

7. VC Poker/Ladbrokes/PokerRoom - Where I make the other half of my income.

8. Dictionary.com - When I want to look up new words and spelling improvement.

9. Shenmue Dojo - Where I talk to my internet friends like a nerd.

10. MovieShark - When I want a wank.



Anyway, post your top 5/10's in here.

Your first four are perfect, IMO.

I'd have;

5: Shenmue Dojo - I use it more than most of those, but acknowledge that's it's more for my amusement rather than any useful purpose.

6: Amazon.co.uk - Generally a decent place to buy stuff I find.

7: Autotrader - When I want a wank. ;) lol, jk, but I do spend quite a while looking on there...

1. Megatoyko forums - all information and every manner of people eventually swirls into this cesspool. Everything from deformed idolized foetuses to the newest movie releases can be found here, and you can talk about it.
2. mangaupdates com - name kinda says it all.
3. youtube - thousands of kick ass video clips and they actually play unlike google video.
4. gotlurk.net and thelurker.net - just about every single manga scanlation out there can be found here, even though its just the botlistings.
5. shenmue dojo - because I've been here here longer than any other forum out there
6. dvdaficionado
7. gendou.com - anime mp3's for everyone

1. Wikipedia.org

Simply the world's biggest repository of information. The most useful site in existance. The best.

2. AltaVista.com

A more 'honest' search engine, with some other useful tools.

3. Google.com

A few years back, Google would have been my number one. However, I've come to realise that it's results reflect who paid the most money, as much as they do what you actually searched. It's biggest use to me is it's Image Search, which is great.

4. YouTube.com

Like Clint says.

5. MySpace.com

Just a cool place to keep in touch with my friends. Great community to be a part of, even though it's host to a whole lot of idiots. None of them are on my friend's list, however.



I can only really think of a Top 5. After that, it all becomes abit of a mess, and I can't decide my next favourite, etc. But yeah, WIkipedia is easily the greatest.

No particular order.

ZZZ- a place for real geeky news. I used to love reading about advances in engineering there... when it was still fucking updated.

Google- seems to be the best search engine at the moment.

Wikipedia- probably my favourite website. Whenever I need information, this is my first source.

Shenmue Dojo- I have accounts in loads of other places, but this site has the only forum that I frequent.

Home of the Underdogs- is a great source of information for underrated and underappreciated games. Shame it's not updated anymore. Honourable mention goes to MobyGames.

TorrentSpy- good torrent search engine, not at all dodgy, plenty of useful comments on most torrents.

IMDB- very useful for reference.

YTMND- my current favourite humour site on the internet. Unique and easily contributed to. I don't browse it much anymore, though.

Hmm, that's all I got.
