Hello there! I’ve made a page specifically if you need help or tutorials for things. I’m adding new sites every so often. So please feel free to come back and check. These sites I’m posting I’ve checked and they are legit. I’ve scanned them just to make sure these sites are safe for people to browse on. So just in case you felt as if these pages aren’t safe. They are. I’ve even added descriptions to every one. ENJOY! =)
You can also go to my tutorial part of my blog and check out the tutorials.
ALSO! Feel free to send me a message to add your own sites to this list.
[Helpful Sites/Tutorials]
Brusheezy → A very good brush site. I have a few others I can add but this one is at the top of my list. Almost every other day or week there are new brushes for the taking. These brushes are free and you don’t have to sign up to download them.
Free Adobe Tutorials → This is like almost the only site you would have to use if you need tutorials. There are other good ones that I want to add but I have to find them. I will add them ASAP.
Wet Paint → A site for clans and groups [The good ones by the way. =)] You can design your own group to whatever you want it to be. You can start a clan and have allies and enemies and things of that nature. I myself have one on there. Feel free to check mine out.
Brush King → Almost like Brusheezy but its just alike in some ways, except Brusheezy has more brushes and even have other sites like Vecteezy and such. The brushes are free and you don’t have to sign-up to download them.
Photobucket → Photo/video uploader. My favorite one so far.
Downloads dot com → Site where you can find programs and download them. Like Anti-virus, music player etc etc.
Tiny Pic → Tiny pic is a photo uploader but photobucket is better than this one cause people have a tendency of saving their photos to the temporary folder and they end up having to re-upload them to the actual one that doesn’t delete their photos after a certain amount of time.
WordPress → The ultimate blogging site. This is thus far my favorite blogging site.
Planet Renders → A site where you can get renders. Basically it saves you from finding a picture and having to erase and delete the background and such [If they have the picture you want to use XD]. Plus it even have tutorials. Others sign up and find pictures to render and upload them to the site. Just click on the link for more info.
Dafont → Site where you can download fonts. It has a wide selection of fonts.
Flickr → A Yahoo site where you can upload photos that you’ve taken. Its mostly for photographers and things of that nature.
Share/Send → This site is where you can upload files from your computer and save them to the net and even share them. Its better than Rapid Share cause its totally free and you have more space to use if needed.
My Photoshop Brushes → Download Patterns, Styles, & Gradients. This site is good if you’re tired of the same pat
GFX Fever → Download Fonts, Brushes, Patterns. The site even have tutorials and such. Really helpful site.
[Other Sites that I use]
Free Online Games → Play free games online. Thousands of games to choose from. Racing games, shooting games, flying games, puzzle games, RPG games and many more
Xbox → Get your gamertag here and info on Xbox live and other helpful information.
Guitar Hero → You can come here and check out the leader boards or get your stats uploaded on there.
Watch-Movies → This is a legit movie watching site. I go there and watch movies all the time. & They’re FREE!
MyGen → You can go here and generate yourself a myspace layout. This one is my favorite one. It also have other generators. To save your layouts and other things, you will have to sign-up. Its FREE!
The Sims Carnival → Yes, the Sims. I’m a kid at heart and these are self-made games and games from the website designer. Most are good and others are sub-par. But its a time killer.
RomNation.net → My favorite place to get ROMS to my favorite; Sega, NES, N64, Playstation games. They even have the emulators if you need one of those too.
MyGamerCard → Design yourself a Gamer Card here at My Gamer Card. Self generated, pre-made cards. You can put them in your forum sig, on your website etc.
Shockwave → Another site for games. This one I think everyone should know about. [Accept if you're a n00b].
Skunk Studios → Yes yes, this site has my favorite games. Qubeez and Sveers. I can go other places. But why not go to the actual site that made the game?
GameHouse → [I have a lot of these gaming sites listed don't I?] Yes, another one that is my favorite. Its odd I have a lot of these listed. Its probably cause certain sites take down some of the games and you’ll have to find another site to play them.
Gamestop → I go here if I want to check out the newest games or need to find a game I want to buy and see if its available at the store.
GameTap → You can play games on here without having to download an Emulator. [Just have a good video card and enough space, ram memory, etc.] You can sign-up for a free account but the real gaming thats worth it is when you get the premium accounts. They’ll give you the requirements and more info on the site.
The Game Informer → Another one of my favorite sites. This site is for people who can’t afford to subscribe to the magazine. [Not saying that I can't cause I'm subscribed actually].
IsoHunt → This is a torrent harvester and its legit, legal and free. I don’t go here often cause I usually buy my programs. But this is helpful for people who know how to use torrents.
[MORE TO COME!]
Again Feel free to send me a message to add your own sites to this list.
