Blip blip boop: At one time, video games had only two axes that mattered, good old X and Y. Then the mid-’90s showed up and brought in Z, and things were never the same since—except for the stubborn gamers who never gave up their D-pads and RF adaptors. The self-proclaimed “Old Video Games News” site vgretro presents daily reviews of games that are old enough to buy their own cigarettes, not to mention other retro oddities like the RetroDuo bootleg NES and SNES combo console and some dude’s crazy homebrew portable Atari 7800 at www.vgretro.com.
Top 10: Guidespot is a Jekyll-and-Hyde kind of site that can be utterly useful and totally frivolous at the same time. Create, share and view guides that are beneficial to humanity (Excel tips, how to get in shape) and fantastically pointless like the I-never-want-to-go-to-jail 21 Best Mugshots and the guide to Douchebags and how to avoid them, broken down into categories including Rich Douche, Poor Douche and Gangsta Douche at www.guidespot.com.
