Cool sites I found on the web. Send me cool sites too!: rapadungasite@gmail.com
A great read on the creation of gaming's map. Everything begins here and all the spaces you've visited in FPS games stem from this very map. Mapping itself as an art form begins here. For anyone curious or interested about the history of gaming in general, this read is simply fascinating.
One of the oldest internet artist collective where people either do individual art (the Archive) or collaborate to create art pieces (Synergy). Running since 1993, not much has changed on the site, but that is not the reason to check it out. Instead the focus is on the art pieces. While this is no deviantart, it keeps alive a concept and allows both virtual and traditional artists to create amazing art. Check them out, everyday there is a new piece uploaded.
I swear I've found this site on someone's Neocities page, but I can't for the life of me remember. So if you had SITO linked on your page before I did, thank you, it's you that lead me to discover this page. Sorry for the lack of credit though...
Down the path of individually hosted "classic" media, "bringthenoise" is an independent variety music station with its own site, like many others. Based in France it plays good music 24/7. With a request feature, it's own programming and great music honestly it's a great place to hang around. Check it out, show some love and listen to some awesome tunes.
Now I know that there are many stations like this one, but for me personally its eazy listening style is great, and just works for me.
[REDACTED].org/[REDACTED]
[REDACTED] made by [REDACTED] is probably (actually most likely) the last type of internet TV of its kind that survives. It has it's own schedule, abandoned weekend marathons and a community that loves it's early 2000's vibes, especially because it broadcasts in glorious 240p! The future truly is now. It's also got everything you need, Anime, Documentaries and Fiction make it one of the best variety streams on the internet (that still survives). So why obfuscate its name you might ask yourself? Well let me tell you.
Video streaming is expensive and any sort of extra traffic might crash the service, and we might never see it come back, as the owner has went AWOL (basically we didn't get any new updates on the stream). I don't want to expect the worst, but at the same time the lack of interaction from the owner leads me to believe that this little project is on its last legs. I'm going to try and archive some stuff so that if it dies, it isn't forgotten...
