I visit the indiegamer forums pretty often (at least once or twice a day) and I thought it'd be cool to hear what other forums people here frequent, since we all kinda have similar interests. I see a few familiar names showing up on some graphics and other type forums, but it'd be interesting to discover a few new forums to check out. I dont even mean gaming forums - could be anything like graphics, other interests, etc.

I (of course) visit the Game Programming Wiki forums daily. (See my sig, for link.)
Mainly GDR (http://www.gamedevelopersrefuge.org/), but then there's Digg (http://www.digg.com) which is like a twisted ass forum for crazy shat on teh intarnetz.
As for blogs, I watch the feeds in Firefox of Kotaku (http://www.kotaku.com), Joystiq (http://www.joystiq.com), Engadget (http://www.engadget.com), FunMotion (http://www.fun-motion.com/), and the insane stream of games that is Tim's Indie Gaming (http://indygamer.blogspot.com/), and hit up the Qat (http://www.qatfish.com), TIGSource (http://www.tigsource.com) or Destructoid (http://www.destructoid.com) on odd days.

I try to keep away from forums, they suck up so much time :rolleyes:
I of course visit indiegamer regularly
CGtalk (http://forums.cgsociety.org/) is an amazingly inspirational site, and I try to regularly participate in their Daily Sketch Forum (http://forums.cgsociety.org/forumdisplay.php?f=130)
DevMaster (http://www.devmaster.net/), which is a bit like game-dev but nicer :)
