Video games:
The Independant Gaming Source – If you didn’t know, there’s a bunch of normal people who make video games…
Jay is Games – Casual Gameplay, for when you really don’t want to have to wait for HalfLife 2 to load. They only post good quality games, and they include a full review, so you know what you’re playing.
Game Creation Resources – Lots of different ways to become one of those aforementioned people who make video games.
Abandonia – If you’re anything like me, (And I know I am) Old Dos Games are like happiness on a disk… This site’s a good place to find them.
Glorious Trainwrecks A site dedicated to maintaining the spirit of awful indie games circa 1993. Gotta love it

Board and Card Games:
Board Game Design Forums – I just found this place, it’s kinda like Deviant Art, or FaceBook for board games, includes blogs, forums and image hosting.
Invisible City Productions – These people make some pretty cool print-and-play games.
Game-it-Yourself – If you want to try something new and different, (as far as analog games go) and you don’t want to pay for it, this is the place to look.
BoardGameGeek Think of a game, any game. More than likely, you’ll find it here, with a full review and breakdown of the gameplay, plus a place where you can buy it. Great for research.

Here are the web comics that I’ll read in a given week In order of discovery…

• Breakpoint City - Possibly one of the best all-round comics on the entire internet. Brian Emling manages to combine Parody, Real Humor and an Simply Terrific Story, with good design sense and a lot of professional polish. And he does it in his spare time too…
• Faux Pas - Very nicely drawn; humorous, if a bit soap-opra-y at times; Faux Pas is a pretty good approximation of what the members of an animal casting agency would be like if they could talk…
  
• Nip and Tuck – Whenever I bring this up people give me weird looks… So, um, the title is the names of the main characters, a couple of redneck fox brothers. Anyway, these two boys tend to get into a lot of trouble. And hilarity always ensues.
  
• Peter and Company - This guy is a bit of a genius at grayscale. A lot of web comic artists try to do grayscale and suck at it, but this guy doesn’t… Peter is an introverted twelve-year-old with a guardian angel named Seth. The comic does a good job of implying a rich fantasy without going into long talky sequences. Lovable.
  
• Quackers - Why are ducks so funny? This guy gets the prize for “Making Robin Laugh So Much That He Couldn’t Finish Reading The Comic Out Loud.” (Seriously, this comic is best read out loud in your best Darkwing voice) This one’s drawn pretty simply but every line counts and the colours work wonders.
  
• Copper - It’s just plain gorgeous. And thought provoking. This is the guy behind the Flight anthologies that I’m half addicted to. (more on that later.) The best way to understand the genius that is Copper is to read it yourself
  
• Catena Manor – Okay, it’s pretty light, and sometimes it’s a little goofy, and I have to say that the fact that all the guys go shirtless is kinda unnerving, (female cartoonist) and I have SOME problems with the theology presented… And yet I still read it. Yes it is that awesome. No it doesn’t make any more sense if you start from the beginning. Yes you should. No I don’t know how she manages to draw that well. Lots of the old No. 2 Professional Grade comic polish on this one too.
  
• Star Drop - The story of an alien princess who lands on Earth to get away from the depressing hiarchies of her father’s empire and sadly ends up bringing it all with her. (at least the humorous parts) Fortunately she makes some Good Friends along the way. (her Cheery Optimism helps.) Nice line art, cute story, this guy knows what he’s doing.
  
• Bunny - Fructose!
  
• Freefall - Alien Squid! Bio-Engineered Wolves! Robots! Spacecraft! Physics! Biology! Really, this is a good comic. It’s a little bit simply drawn and talky, (haters of long explanatory sequences beware) and once in a while the plot takes a turn that is so ludicrous as to completely disrail one’s suspension of disbelief. But it’s witty, frequently updated, scientifically accurate, (for the most part…) and really addicting.
  
• Antisocial Commentary - I’ll admit it’s a little surreal, but this particular cartoonist has never been accused of being normal. (Hi rockerbot!) AC follows the friendship of a couple of college girls, specifically a platypus named Ron and a little blue robot named Lillian. They appear to spend half of their time being depressed and the other half being unnecessarily goofy…
• Astronaut Elementary - The Artist says it best: “Let’s start making points! We all know that the future of education is in outer space! But that does not mean that you should be randomly sent spiraling into that oxygen devoid vacuum. So don’t choose a sub-par facility where you are hypothetically forced to share chalk with co-students who don’t take themselves seriously or sleep in late. You owe it to the future of yourself to choose now! Only Astronaut Elementary is tops… With Learning!” Yeah, it’s just that awesome…
• Aki Alliance - Aki is the kind of girl who wants to do everything… For about the first fifteen minutes. After joining and quitting each club in the school, Aki winds up with no friends and a whole lot of enemies. Desperate for company, Aki makes a bet with her classmate Ella that she can make friends with everyone in the school. The art is done in a scrap book cut out style, that really serves the story well.
• Sugary Serials – This isn’t actually a single comic, it’s a whole lot of comics, all with one goal: Recreate the feel of Saturday Morning Cartoons in a webcomic. That means iconic characters, unneccessary evil villains who never manage to do anything really horrible, and irritatingly open-ended storylines. Good times.
