Hey guys!

In trying to enhance your experience on the site I'm going to start featuring cool websites you should check out when I come across them. Sites that offer cool content both gaming and non-game related.

I'm basically pimping other cool sites on the net, sending you away from us; But that's ok, I know you'll be back...

Enjoy ;)

----------------------------------------------------
The first is Pandora...
http://pandora.com/

This is a music related site where by typing in an artist or song, the site instantly creates a radio station with songs and artists that sound similar to the content you entered. So by typing in "Led Zeppelin" you'll get more Zeppelin, some Jimi Hendrix, Pink Floyd etc.
You can also save these radio stations and create new ones that will be there whenever you return. To not get cut off after a 15 minutes or so create a free account and get your online radio on.

----------------------------------------------------
Next we have Hulu...
http://www.hulu.com/

This one is a little easier to explain as it offers countless TV Shows and some movies to watch online for free. Everything from the Simpsons, Family Guy, House, Saturday Night Live, Battlestar Galactica, The Office and more. Again all this video is free to watch and brand new episodes air on the site around 24 hours after the episode airs online. This is where I'll be getting my "It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia fix...

----------------------------------------------------
And lastly, GamesRadar...
http://www.gamesradar.com/

This hilarious video game site offers your average daily news stories along with hilarious articles and videos. Somehow connected to OXM, PSM etc. this web site has come a really long way and offers some really great content that always has me laughing.

Some of my favorite articles:

Top 7 Cutesy Video Game Characters We Want to Beat the Crap Out of

100 Reasons to hate the PS3

More great ARTICLES
----------------------------------------------------

One more thing~ I hear THIS is a really sweet place to visit for video game media......

ENJOY THESE WEBGEMS!

Hulu is only for people in the United States. Is there a Canadian equivalent somewhere?

Wow (none / 0)

I can't thank you enough for pointing out this Pandora website. Like Degrees said, it is beyond cool. I'm already addicted to it, and it's only been maybe 2 hours. Very, very cool site, and I was honestly looking for something like this, so again, thank you.

I'm feeling California and looking Minnesota.

Thanks, Sweety, (none / 0)

They sound like fantastic sites, but like Boxin said, Hulu cannot be viewed from outside the U.S. .... and neither can Pandora! Too bad.

- For the music site. (none / 0)
  
  Try Last.fm
  I believe they both do the same thing but Last.fm works in europe, and I would assume Korean/Japan/China(I forget exactly where you live Suns)
