So, I realized that the number of sites I frequent is pitiful. Honestly, I have no clue how I manage to waste so much time on the internet. You guys are a pretty interesting bunch--where do you throw away your lives on the information superhighway?
I stick to here, some other forums, Cracked.com, Things of Interest (http://qntm.org) and a handful of webcomics I check every once in awhile. Also, I browse Wikipedia like a pro.
These three are where I spend most of my net time, I likely will have a window open to one or more 90% of the time.
Myspace (http://www.myspace.com/house_quake) - My primary social hub on the net. I've met a lot of people through myspace. many fellow Prince fans... some crazy, sexy n cool women (I must get my flirt on) and the GF.
The official Chicago Bears Forums (http://boards.chicagobears.com/forums/default.aspx) - I'm a major Bears fan... i'm one of the more visible members.
Prince.org (http://prince.org/) - I'm a big fan of the artist formerly and currently know as Prince. He has a tight new website and CD set coming out at the end of the month.
I'm sure to visit any of these sites daily..
NFL.com, NBA.com and ESPN for my sports fixes
I visit several NFL scouting sites this time oif the year getting ready for the draft... then i'll switch to the NBA.
Black Planet (the black myspace before thier was myspace) for a little more social networking.. but more just tasting eye candy. To much ghetto fab.
Here

Tiger Direct because I'm always plotting to get something

Work Place Like Home is a giood resource forum for people who need to... work from home.

Sadly, I find that the Godzilla and Monstermania sites are gone.
Some I look at every day, some every week, others every once in awhile.
superdickery.com (http://superdickery.com) Mostly silver age examples of Superman being something less than nice to Lois and Jimmy, scanned from the actual issues themselves ; some other innocently(for the time) innappropriate exchanges between Bats and Robin, taken totally out of context and totally hilarious.
Millarworld - www.millarworld.tv is Mark Millar's website, and has a cool community discussing comics and other stuff. Im registered and post here.
Barbelith - www.barbelith.com is a Grant Morrison inspired website discussing comics, occult, philosophy and other sort of clever wierd stuff that the Invisibles might sit around discussing in a trendy cyber-cafe perhaps. :P ( ie can be a bit pretentious at times) Registration is not straightforwards, so I never bothered.
Byrne Robotics - John Byrne's website. For a more erm.. conservative approach to comics. Almost registered once.
IO9 - www.io9.com a sci fi website a friend put me on to. Books, TV series, movies articles here.
boards.cityofheroes.com - I post a lot less here since they blocked it at work, which is probably a good thing :)
www.redtomax.com - for all my City of Heroes hard numbers needs
www.wikipedia.com - good for when I'm bored. Recent research includes Indian mythology and some cosmology/physics stuff.
-Newsarama.com (http://newsarama.com)

-Marvel.com (http://marvel.com)

facebook.com - my mom has facebook and never stops commenting on everything, so it's just annoying to me, but I check it everyday.
gaminggroundzero.com GGZ (forums), I've been going here for like 8-9 years I think. It's kinda slow right now but is where I met some of the greatest people in the world.
Freedom Re-oh, duh.
Magic The Gathering forums - http://forums.gleemax.com/, I'm a huge MTG nerd, and I go here and talk about Magic.
CollegeHumor.com - I like humor, and 10% of the time, I get a good laugh.
Adventure Gamers (adventuregamers.com) - I rarely post here, sometimes I just get in a really adventure game-y mood and go see what's new with the scene.
And I spend about a million times as long as I should on these sites.

Now that i have learned that Quake is a Prince fan, I have no time to spend on the internet. I must focus all of my efforts on hunting him down and whipping him with a wet noodle.

Now knowing he's a Prince fan, I'm seriously disappointed that he didn't create a character or team called Purple Reign when NPI was up and running....

This is awesome.
PURPLE REIGN!
Prince! Leader of the group, he wields a magical guitar shaped like the Love Symbol #2!
1999! Time traveler from an alternate future where y2k destroyed the world as we know it!
Diamond! With the ability to turn her body into a nigh-indestructible diamond-like substance!
Pearls! With the power to transform any object into white pearl-like material!
Dirty Mind! She can insert any mental image into your brain!
Controversy! His psychic powers allow him to turn ordinary people into frothing engines of rage!
7! The last of seven near-immortal brothers, he has devoted his life to helping the human race!

LOL I thought my net screen name was enough :lol:
And well of course New Power Generation was Prince's band and what the fans were called for a while.
I'm hoping for the hero raspberry beret to make her appearance. a spunky little soldier with a cute demeanor.
