The Collector Times Collection of Time Wasting Sites

Come on! You folks have them, too. Sites that you like to visit and spend time with. Waaaay too much time, in fact. Here is our list, which will keep you busy for awhile. Enjoy!

Sheryl Roberts:

www.villainsupply.com
Why do I like this site? It has everything one needs to be eeeeviiiiiiilllll. And I’m the evil editor, right? Right!

Stephane Morrel:

www.imdb.com
. . . This is the most amazing movie resource EVER and I could spend days and days on it. If you like movies/TV check it out, it's really worth it.

Joe Singleton:

www.stickdeath.com
Why do I love StickDeath.com? Well, it's simple.......I love brutal, graphic violence when done to stick figures. Stick figures have never contributed to society, in any meaningful way, all they did was take and take and take....but then came StickDeath.com and stick figures can now contribute to the society that has supported them for so long! Whether it's the brutality of the KillBox, the efficient dispatch of would-be car thieves, or the violent heroics of Jack Stick, there's something for everyone.

Jamie Coville:

http://javascript.internet.com/games/battleship.html
It's a free Javascript site, this particular one with a Battleship game. I just play it over and over again. I feel like a geekier version than those basement dwelling guys in that commercial because I'm playing it by myself on a computer.

Chris Reid:

www.archive.org
-- The Go-back machine, lets you bring up webpages from a long time ago.

www.engrish.com
-- A page of really hilarious mis-translations to English.

www.badmovies.org
-- A review site for really horrible movies

Mat Bredfeldt:

http://boards.wizards.com/rpg-bin/ultimatebb.cgi?category=6
It's about the only D&D site out there that's any good. It's just a good place to kill time. I got an idea for a character from there.

Brett Schmidt:

http://homestarrunner.com
simple fun

Jason Bourgeois:

Cause he’s a perv.

http://www.flamingtelepaths.net/radiant/
My current fave site of my own is for Solus, Perez's upcoming book from CrossGen.

http://www.thedigitalbits.com/
I absolutely love the Digital Bits. Fast, up to date, DVD news.

http://www.fark.com/
It's a link-collection. Folks post links to...damn near everything, the moderators go through that and let the ones they deem worthy through, throughout the day.

Wally Flores, Jr.:

Cinescape.com
for info

wickedcoolstuff.com &
80stees.com
for shirts

Paul Roberts:

TheOneRing.net
Cause it’s got a lot of information about Tolkien stuff. And someone over at New Line sends them pictures every now and then. Plus, you get all sorts of juicy rumors about what’s coming next, what Peter Jackson is up to now, what The Return of the King trailer will look like . . . maybe half of the stuff is true, but it’s fun.

Rick Higginson:

There are a few places I like to spend some time when on line.

www.jokeaday.com
Jokes and some trivia, but not for the overly sensitive. Sooner or later, everyone gets a turn under the "gun" so to speak, so if you offend easily, don’t bother. Not for the under 18 crowd.

www.snopes.com
Urban legends, internet stories, and so on checked out and either confirmed or refuted. A great resource when you receive those dire e-mail warnings or heart breaking pleas, and often just entertaining reading.

www.badmovies.org
Hilarious and entertaining reviews of movies that only wish they were as entertaining as these reviews are. Hard to believe that some of these movies were really made!

www.ebay.com
You don’t have to be buying or selling to find some entertainment in perusing the offerings on eBay. If it’s available at all, it’s most likely available on eBay, making it like the ultimate Sears Catalog.

www.beer-college.com
I don’t drink, nor am I in college, but this site has some funny games, clips, and pictures to peruse. If you haven’t seen the MTV version of the "Council of Elrond" from "Fellowship of the Ring," it’s on this site for all to see.

Sidra:

www.livejournal.com
Ever wonder where the Very Secret Diaries were first published in was on a journal here. Find a Random journal start reading let the fun begin. You never know what you might find.

www.popcap.com
Web games for fun and amusement

www.bored.com
Tons of stuff to keep you entertained mindlessly for hours.

http://www.empireonline.co.uk/
Best movie magazine EVER!

AJ’s favorite time-wasting links!

www.badmovies.org
I have wasted countless hours reading the reviews on this site, with nothing to show for it but a good bit of amusement and some odd movie trivia. It mainly focuses on bad horror, but some action movies and even Xanadu show up on the list. Though there is no nudity on this page, some of the movies are of an adult nature (Barn of the Blood Llamas, for example... ugh), and there are many violent pictures and film clips... parental discretion is advised. Those mature enough for the site will enjoy the well-written reviews, fun audio files, and great rating system!

www.snopes.com
Though Snopes is a great reference site for checking out all those "It’s true, really!" e-mails and stories from your friends, it’s also a great place to waste time. Read the Humor and Horror sections if you doubt me!

http://home.nycap.rr.com/useless/index.html
"Useless Information: Stuff you never needed to know but your life would be incomplete without". That just about sums it up! This great site has lots of fun, well-written trivia. Its only flaw is that it’s almost never updated... But there’s enough backlog for a night or two of reading fun!

Cabeem! Addictive little java game. ‘Nuff said.
