Jayenkai	As I sit, roaming through my usual selection of websites, I find myself getting slightly bored by the lack of new-news every 2 minutes.. So, what else can I read? QOTD : What's your list of regular sites that you head to whenever you've a spare 2 seconds of dullness in the day. My list.. Gaming News Kotaku.com NintendoWiiFanboy, DSFanboy, X360Fanboy VE3D.ign.com <-- I usually avoid IGN, but I've been a fan of Voodoo Extreme since well before they were bought by nasty evil IGN. Telly News DigitalSpy.co.uk AintItCool.com GateWorld.net TechStuff HardOCP.com Engadget.com FunFunFun Engrish.com UKResistance.co.uk b3ta.com -=-=- ''Load, Next List!''

JL235	Some places I regularly go to which haven't been mentioned: Softpedia BBC News Bloomberg Linux Haters Blog (until it shut down) Channel 9 Although for Softpedia I'm trying to find somewhere else for technical news. I find the people there don't really know much about many of the articles they report on and they often come out with really silly opinions. If anyone can suggest an alternative, especially one slightlyt more technical and programming related, I'd much appreciate it.

HoboBen	Oh if you have any programming questions that none of us here would be able to answer, there's Stack Overflow which opened recently. -=-=- blog \| work \| code \| more code

Jayenkai	What? Oh.. euuuw.... wtf!?!! MY EYES!!! I don't like that. Socoder's not exactly perfectly styled, but fuck me, that's a mess!! -=-=- ''Load, Next List!''

Jayenkai	So, to neaten things up a little, they came up with an award scheme.. Badges.. (To be fair, theirs would probably work out, since they seem to have thought ahead, unlike my unplanned eventually useless ones!) -=-=- ''Load, Next List!''

HoboBen	To be honest I really dislike their reputation and badge system (unlike reddit's meaningless karma system, the reputation actually gives you abilities such as being able to edit and lock other people's posts) I feel it devalues their system - instead of people asking and answering questions for mutual gains they are doing it for points and power. However, they must have got something right because you can get great responses in under a minute. -=-=- blog \| work \| code \| more code

Phoenix	I think the badges might be the reason you get responses so fast. If I got a dollar every time I made a post on SoCoder I know I'd be a lot more active

JL235	Somewhere I used to read often, and plan to get back into, is GamaSutra. Namely the feature articles on game design. I often found them well written and very interesting.
