The first 6 sites listed below are sites that I feel are very good or are of personal interest. Everything listed beneath them is a series of links to "Intensely Cool Sites", complete with features keys...
|
1. The Kid From Brooklyn - R.I.P. Mike Caracciolo, who unfortunately passed on July 22nd, 2013. You told it like it was and you were hilarious, big man. I miss you! You MUST see his videos!
2. Winamp Forums -
The Winamp Forums are the "heart" of Winamp... the Winamp "community". Winamp is offered FREE to the public. It is absolutely the best media player in existence! I was an active community forums member there as well (Nunzio390), and offered help and technical assistance with the Winamp application in the Winamp forums many many times in the past.
3. George Carlin's Official Website - Carlin was an absolute genius and is sorely missed. This is his official website.
4. Stickman Murder Mysteries - Great Stick Death games to play here!
5. Joe Cartoon - Unusual and bizarre Flash cartoons, some of which are interactive.
6. Homestar Runner - Cartoons and games.
