What do you do on the internet?

[Doomsday]

What do you do in your internet time?
Stuff I do now:
- Read webcomics. That's like the #1 priority when I open firefox, check my favorite comics site to check if there are any updates;
- Smogon! #2 priority. Check new threads, posts, etc.
- GBAtemp is my nintendo resource: it shows you all the releases on DS/GBA/Wii;
- Angry Video Game Nerd and I-Mockery are two humorous sites I visit from time to time because they don't update that often (unfortunately) but are still awesome to read and see, even if you've already saw that TMNT review or that piece about Hulk toys a hundred times before;
- Chat on MSN with real life friends and internet friends alike;
- Chat on mIRC when I feel like having my dose of #smogon and metal chat.

So, what do YOU do on the internet?

 

[Vyacheslav]

1. Stop by lunarwars, do my daily upkeep. Visit my clan's offsite forums and post for a bit then Check the official LW forums.
2. Go on AIM and just leave it up
3. If I'm up to it, check various other internet browser games
4. Check various forums if I feel like it..not terribly active most anywhere but LW
5. Nationstates

That's it pretty much.

 

[norulz]

Usually when I go to my computer I follow a certain routine. But sometimes I just do what I feel like doing, the above list doesn't follow any order:

1. I keep my msn conversations up to date, read any (unlikely) new e-mails.

2. Log onto smogon and catch up with some threads and post.

3. Catch up to Adbux and Perfect-emails.

4. Open The All-Seeing Eye and check if there are any Unreal Tournament servers online. If there are any servers online, then I play for about an hour, I usually get bored after a while, leave, and come back later.

5. I usually go on IRC for about 10 minutes then get bored and leave.

4. Catch up on some of my netbattle teams, and stuff.

6. Log onto ijji and play either Gunz or Gunbound, Gunz is sorta boring lately so I don't stay there long, same applies for Gunbound.

7. Browse the net randomly if there's nothing better to do.

8. Finally, I log on to lastfm, check for updates, see my most listened musics, get nostalgic of those songs that I haven't listened to in a while, open foobar, and listen to them.

9. I log onto abs and check for any new videos or funny clips.

 

[StrangerDanger]

Check Email, Facebook, Smashbros, then Smogon.

 

[Mekkah]

1. Check Smogon out. Repeatly comes up throughout these.
2. Log into MSN and check my hotmail, start talking to people
3. Start mIRC, chat in #smogon, play uno in #uno
4. Sometimes start ShoddyBattle or NetBattle when I feel like it
5. Open up a tab in Firefox to FESS (Fire Emblem) forums and post wherever I feel like
6. Check out IGN's Pokemon and Fire Emblem boards before diverting my eyes from the train wrecks they both are
7. Sometimes check out my favourite news site FOK, both to keep myself updated and to check the hilarious comments that vary from Youtube to Smogon intelligence
8. Check random links people post and pray they're funny
9. Play Risk at ConquerClub with CrabNebula, Hip, MNL, Kumar, BoB and friends, using #smogon-risk to communicate

 

[DM]

I do everything in order, and it is:

Fraternity message board, Facebook/MySpace (I basically just hop in and out of these two, they're both utter shit), Minus the Bear message board, Smogon (I do this board last because it's what takes the most time), email (school/Adelphia/gmail), then once I'm done I'll go on mIRC. If I'm at work, remove MySpace, MTB board, and mIRC from that list.

 

[Surgo]

- visit old RPGamer
- visit Smogon
- administer Smogon
- code
- miscellanious information gathering on many subjects (the internet is so awesome for this)

 

[Misty]

IRC first, then webcomics, then Smogon forums and Bulbagarden forums in some order, then somewhere along the line I code stuff. I also check YouTube for funny vids when I'm bored.

 

[Discord]

Hmm..
- Smogon
- Sometimes I go on CB Colosseum.
- MSN
- AIM
- MySpace
- CB Colosseum
- The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion forum
- Youtube
- Sometimes go on ShoddyBattle

I think that's it, but there's probably more

 

[Kier]

I usually check email and MySpace first, then check Smogon for funny posts or posts by user DoomMullet. I'll skim the news headlines for anything that interests me and check Kotaku for videogame news. Youtube comes up if I'm bored; IRC if I'm feeling chatty.

Also:

- miscellanious information gathering on many subjects (the internet is so awesome for this)

 

[0mastar]

- MSN
- MySpace
- Check around forums I go to (Smogon, Sppf, etc.)
- Check SkySports.com for football news
- Check various music boards for any new leaks/releases
- Look through LastFm for new bands to try out
- 4chan
- NB/ShoddyBattle if i'm really bored

After all that i'll end up just searching for guitar tabs and teaching myself a lot of songs, out of boredom.

 

[Biolizard28]

[Basics]

Hmm..........

Re: Reading emails.
I actually (this is a pretty Basics-esque thing to do, but lol) I have a habit of not like deleting, reading, or at least "marking as read" all the spam shit I get from like Facebook, friends I don't like, girls I don't remember, etc. So I kind of just let it pile up. One day I signed on and I had 421 new emails, so I was like "NO WAY!" I read one post, and now I delete, read, or mark all new posts as read, so I always have 420 messages in my inbox. :)

Umm, things I do:

1) Play video games. Pokémon, DotA, some Counter-Strike.
2) Check Smogon/SC Canada/SC.com. Smogon's my favourite. :)
3) StumbleUpon
4) Questionable Content, xkcd, Penny-Arcade, Real Life Comics.
5) Facebook (mostly just to check for parties, gatherings, etc.)
6) MSN/mIRC
7) Chess. I don't play a lot anymore, but I was getting alright for a while (1600; not like spectacular, but alright for a casual player.)

 

[Monkeymascot]

1) Go on UTF Gamers, where my clan site is located.

2) GameFAQs Fire Emblem boards, sometimes SSBB boards.

3) Check SSBB Update if I remember.

4) Forums, whatever I feel like.

 

[Hipmonlee]

I sign on to smogon forums and irc, check important topics (atm just my tournament) and on irc I say "Sup" then pretty much immediately look away haha..
Then I check my Email and Risk games (risk is a new development).
Then I actually start to look at irc and other Smogon topics such as this one.

And about once a week I check qwantz, cricinfo and facebook.

Have a nice day.

 

[Vidd]

- Check Smogon's main discussion forums.
- Check for any news on Macrumors which hasn't been too busy recently.
- Browse Digg quickly (although I'm becoming a bit irritated with several aspects of it).
- Read Gonintendo posts.
- Check for Perry Bible Fellowship updates.
- Read the latest Smash Bros Update.
- Check xkcd for updates.

I also open up AIM but I don't know why I don't just turn it off since I barely talk to anyone on it any more.
Also, why am I on the computer so much? I just seem to do a lot of stupid crap on it.

EDIT: Also:
- Check Nintendo.co.uk for the promised Star Points for Wii Points scheme that was announced in June.
