So I'm home sick today, way too slothy to go out and do anything productive, but I'm bored out of my mind.
So I'm starting this thread to collect funny/interesting blogs, webcomics, games, etc.
They can be Dragon Age related, but they don't have to be.

And I'll post some of my own favorites:
Hyperbole and a Half
The Oatmeal
Romantically Apocolyptic
Blank It
Cyanide & Happiness
Zero Punctuation

Help me kill some time?

If you haven't read it, the story of the Haunted Majora's Mask Cartridge is surprisingly freaky. Just do yourself a favor, and stop reading right before the Jadusable video. It's an update from after the first time I read it, and it gets really bad after that.
And here's some good short stories from Ichor Falls:
The Song and Dance Man, Wolves of the Stillwood

Both of those sites feature some really great writing, and some really awful writing. But I've lost sleep over both of them. sweatdrop

Usually I go for gaming sites, or news websites.
The economist website always is interesting, as is Le Monde Diplomatique sub section of Le Monde.
CNN world can always be nice.
I always try to be active in the modder community so I'm a lot on gog and Nexus when I have free time.
Or I just go and game.
Don't spread it, but the witcher 2:Assassin of kings flat out whups DA 2 's a** if you have a good computer to run it on the hioghest setting (It asks for a lot)
(Do i get killed for saying that?)
BUt with work and sleep I rarely have time to get bored. lol
The net is usually a source of news, if I'm bored I game or read.

XD Look at you, being educated about things that are actually relevant to the outside world. Where's the fun in that?

What's that game actually about? I definitely read an article about it a long time ago, but all I remember is the name. Other than that, all I know is that the guy on the ads I keep seeing looks like Sten.
I don't have a good computer though. Just an old but reliable laptop.

It's a pc rpg game, a very VERY good one.
It is much more darker than DA and DA2. A bit more on the mature side too.
As for the hero, he existed in the witcher before Sten came to exist in DA surprised , sorry. lol

Well, I'm a second grade teacher, so I try to remain up to date with what is going on in the world to pass it to the next gen, you know? lol

A nice way to put The witer 2 in a few words is that:

Blood Disdain Love Fear Hope

here is a nice link..

http://www.en.thewitcher.com/the-witcher/2/world/hero/

They are supposed to make a console version later this year...but I think there is no way it will be able to even come close to the pc version (I am rarely a pc gamer and sure not part of those suckers elistic pc gamers but this game I just could not wait)
As for the requirements...they can be scary...as usual, forget minimal and go recomanded, and even then, pray you are fine.
IT is considered as the most demanding title right now I believe...might be wrong tho

No one is even sure if it will be the first or the second game for that matter.

I am not alone thinking it is the best pc style rpg since DA:0 and that it would most likely be RPG of the year of not for elder scroll 5 coming out at fall. lol
TO my shame I must admit I feel it outdid DA 2

I have been looking for another fantasy RPG.
But as I said, the only PC we have is my four-year-old laptop. I live with my mom and brother right now, and she's convinced that PC's are "too confusing". And I'm going away for college next year, so even if I could convince them to get a desktop, I wouldn't be able to use it.
So I'll probably have to wait for the console version and hope it's any good.

I tend to trust The Nostalgia Critic & Co. with my entertainment needs since it's comedic and nostalgic at the same time! Though if you're looking for reviews that aren't spoilerific, be very careful, most if not all the reviewers pretty much spoil the whole movie/videogame most of the time save for some...

If you're a webcomic fan looking to kill like... a week of boredom, might I suggest trying your hand at this webcomic? It started up way back in 1997, so there are PLENTY of comics to keep you occupied for a good loooong while biggrin Also it's pretty hilarious seeing the old 90s style up and kickin' in the beginning there xD

This thread died before it started, I know, but:
The Abominable Charles Christopher
and
Hanna is not a Boy's Name

Seriously, Abominable CC is one of my favorite webcomics of all time.
