As webmasters ourselves here at NLR, we surf the internet quite a bit. Some of it is to seek entertainment while the majority of it is for more... "recreational" activities. Anyway, below is a collection of some of the best websites we've found. All of them are top-notch.
Entertainment |

The Best Page in the Universe
www.maddox.xmission.com
The Best Page in the Universe is a satirical blog by the legend known as Maddox. This website contains some of the most offensive, arrogant, and correct opinions on the net. It is also a huge inspiration for Justin's writing. Spend some time reading a few of the articles. Your life will be changed forever. |

Newgrounds
www.newgrounds.com/refer/coucha
Newgrounds: Everything, by Everyone. This is the first and best flash portal on the net. It has a plethora of original creations from people the around the world. There is animation, games, art, music, and so much more! By the way, a lot of the things you see on "ebaumsworld" and other websites were originally submitted to Newgrounds. |

You're the Man Now, Dog!
www.ytmnd.com
You're the Man Now, Dog is arguably of of the greatest and worst sites on the web. If you are ever curious as to what the internet community is making fun of or you just want to know what is the latest internet meme, you should visit this site as soon often as possible! You can sit down and comb the site for five minutes and leave with either a hearty chuckle or a disappointed grimace. There's only one way to find out... |
|
You Tube
www.youtube.com
You Tube is a place where anybody can upload their videos to the Internet for anybody to watch. If you aren't already familiar with it, then it's about time you became aquainted. Though the majority of videos revolve around a couple of teens doing something stupid in their backyard or clips from television shows, there are sure a few real gems out there. "Broadcast Yourself." |
Official Websites |
|---|
|
Adult Swim
www.adultswim.com
Adult Swim is arguably the best thing to ever come out of Cartoon Network. Nearly all of their shows are original, while every one of them are completely nonsensical! Some of their most popular shows aired are Family Guy, Futurama, Robot Chicken, Aqua Teen Hunger Force, The Boondocks, as well as an assortment of anime and other original shows. All this and more at 11 P.M. on Cartoon Network. |
|
Star Wars
www.starwars.com
Star Wars is unarguably one of the greatest movies sagas ever. It is proven. This is the official website. There is a ton of great insider information to browse, along with any news regarding the franchise. Great, kid, bask in its intergalagtic glory, but don't get cocky! |
Reference |

Dictionary
dictionary.reference.com
Dictionary is exactly what is says it is. It is a dictionary website. The site compiles many different dictinary sources to give really complete definitions to just about any word you're looking for. It even has entries for many slang words. A thesaurus and encyclopedia function are also present and available. |
|
The Internet Movie Database
www.imdb.com
The Internet Movie Database would probably be your number one stop for anything relating to movies. As a database, it is a collection of just about every movie ever made, both foreign and domestic. There are ratings, reviews, pictures, trivia, and all sorts of other information regarding the film you're interested in. |
|
Rotten Tomatoes
www.rottentomatoes.com
Like The Internet Movie Database, Rotten Tomatoes is a large website that specializes in movies and the such. The website's ratings are often quoted in Wikipedia and other serious websties. Rotten Tomatoes is just as good as IMDb, and some would argue that it is even better. Find out for yourself. |
|
Urban Dictionary
www.urbandictionary.com
Urban Dictionary is similar to dictionary.com in that it is an online dictionary, except it's essentially run by the people. Anyone can submit words and/or definitions and then vote on how accurate the definition is. This site is great because it has listings for words, phrases, and slang that the normal dictionary would never have. Here's a start: search "frosty walrus". |
|
Wikipedia
www.wikipedia.org
Wikipedia: The Free Encyclopedia, knows everything. Seriously. There has to be a page for just about anything. It's a great source for tidbits of knowledge and trivia. Be wary though: any page can be changed by literally anybody, so the information could be potentially wrong or skewed. Even still, Wikipedia is the perfect modern-day Internet encyclopedia. |

New World Empire
www.freewebs.com/newworldempire
New World Empire is a site specifically made to showcase one of the NLR member's personal ideas and creations. Though still in its early stages, it shows sign of great potential. Its current claim to fame is the "Man-O-Meter." Check it out! |
Dark Corners of the Internet |
|---|
|
Super Shadow
www.supershadow.com
Supershadow.com is a farce. After some research, it turns out that the creator of the website has been writing false information for years now. Whatever information that is actually correct is usually stolen. To top it all off, this guy poses as George Lucas and answers people's questions whilst lying to them. If you consider yourself a true fan of Star Wars, then stay as far away from this website as possible! |
