Website Wednesday #8
Yea its been quite some time since I did a Website Wednesday, but any way…here is a little one!
This week: Check out this game we stumbled upon: ‘Hardest Gamer Ever’ from Jimmy Ruska
Website Wednesday #7 - Free Image Manipulation
This week, two excellent alternative Free of charge image manipulation programs which you should try out.
The Gimp (GNU Image Manipulation Program)
Most images you see on this site have been edited at some point by myself in The Gimp, a Free image manipulation package which has pretty much all the features you could want for your image manipulation needs.
I myself learnt to use most of The Gimp’s features through experimentation, but if If you’re new to image manipulation all together it may take some time to get used to the interface. Check out the documentation at http://www.gimp.org/docs/
The Gimp is compatible with Linux, Windows and Mac OS X systems.
Originally intended as a free alternative for Microsoft Paint, which comes included with Windows. Paint.net has come a long way.
Currently Paint.net is only to my knowledge officially released for Windows operating systems, but that does not mean to say that you wont be able to run it on an alternative system. - google is your friend 
Website Wednesday #6 - Podcasts
This Website Wednesday is a bit different, as the sites are all podcast links you should be listening and subscribing to. All follow different formats, and talk about all consoles / news / off-topic nonsense, and all update once a week.
So what are you waiting for? Start listening!
Website Wednesday #5 - Gaming sites
Speed Demos Archive is a website dedicated to archiving speed runs of all video games, and hosting the videos of the successful runs, which you can watch either via the embedded flash videos, or downloading them in higher qualities. It also features a forum with many hints and tips to help you start runs of your own.
This site catalogs the lastest craze in gaming: Live streaming video marathons for charity. Groups of gamers are banding together to play games for 24 to 72 hours at a time, with little to no breaks, while using the Internet to stream their progress of the games played. With viewers given the chance to donate to charity, and over £20,000 raised so far, hopefully this craze will continue for a long time.
Kongregate is a flash game portal, where users can submit their created games with the opportunity to win cash prizes, as voted by the people who play them. Users can also sign up to the site to win badges and points by playing the games on the site, where certain challenges unlock virtual cards used to play the sites ‘online CCG’ Kongai.
