what happened to anticool? I used to go there all the time...
still rocking that 1995 look. Do they still get good traffic?

I was gonna suggest this, actually, but I didn't know if it was still a popular site round these parts.
There's not much you can't find there that doesn't come up when you type (Game Name + Remix) into YouTube.
(plus they're like, the #1 reason people don't know what the fuck a remix is anymore, or that it's not the same thing as a cover song)
1UP is the Sega of websites, too ahead of their time. Long live the king.
The Verge was so promising when it launched and then it went down the shitter. As far as tech news they are irrelevant to me.
Gamespy.com and the Planet Network.

I still scrobble... >_>
Same. Last.fm is still a great way to find new music based on your listening habits.
AICN's track record is interesting to look at, considering how big the site was in the late 90s/early 2000s. AICN ended up basically being responsible for:
kickstarting the enthusiast press for film
getting JJ Abrams' Superman trilogy shitcanned
coining the phrase "Raped my childhood."
How did AICN get the JJ Superman movies done in? I've never heard that story.
I'm guessing that second point was tied to the prequels in some way?
Someone acquired the script and summarized the entire thing, then it got completely shat on in the comments.
Hoo boy, this one big time. I used to practically live on the SA Forums, but once they let FYAD invade GBS and didn't do anything to reverse it, I lost absolute and total interest. I still check back every now and then and it's still a cesspool. Absolute shame.

Fark.com
predates reddit and I think even digg
also Slashdot used to be a bigger deal
A ton of search engines:
Lycos
Excite
Ask Jeeves

Aint It Cool just got real slow with content and most of the time it was real sloppy grammatically. Not to mention the ancient design.
