LinksHere are some places that you should
definitely check out. Remember that the sites that are owned by
specific hackers, unless otherwise specified, are Gameshark sites.
Oh, and if you don't know what emulators and ROMs are, find out NOW
by going to one of the links. Trust me! It's worth it. Also, the
links here will, as far as I can foresee, never be rearranged. This
means that whatever links we receive to put up will be after the
others, and the next will be after those.

Read up. |

Misc
Random links that just don't belong anywhere else...
| #uckedcompany |

Anyway, here there's a guy (or a few) that watch everything to do with large and medium-large companies, many of which you've actually heard of, heh. Anyway, he rants about their layoffs and informs you about their...uhh...layoffs. But there's other stuff, too, like...bankruptcies...and buy-outs...and liquidations...anyway, they sift through the crap and let you know what screwed up stuff is going on in the big playground. |
