The Internet: a traveler's guide

(like, fucking all of it. If websites were locations.)

Google: The Google high rise is a cutting edge tech information supercenter. Thousands of user input panels access the largest database of everthing anywhere, forever. White is the predominant color, and the skyscraper rises beyond sight. Glass elevators lead to other levels, full of cinemas, mailing centers, cartography centers, and thousands of other unique locales. Google is one of the most futuristic places on the web.

4chan: You enter a room, filled with dozens of doors, labeled /a/, /b/, /c/ etc. and others /rs/ /wg/ /r9k/ etc. Each room is filled with a distinct population. Anime lovers reside in /a/, gun freaks reside in /k/ (weapons), car lovers in /o/ (auto) and above them all is a golden, illustrious door: /b/. Through it reside a number of murderous psychopaths, douchebags, losers, geeks, nerds, jerks, asshats, anon's, "psychics", and perverts. There is no law or order, without a leader in sight.

Yahoo!Answers: The forum of Yahoo!Answers is best described as a swirling chaotic void full of idiocy and anger. From attention whores to tweens raging at parents to "pregnant OMG help!" girls, not a single interesting or intelligent idea is presented here. Back away slowly, and check the nearest free clinic to see if you've gotten anything.

Youtube: Much like the forum mentioned previously, a chaos. However, in this there is much information to be found, along with humor, viral videos, idiocy, pornography, pirated music, music videos, anime slideshows, news, auto-tuned everything, and a billion other things. Near the door is friendly-looking upload interface, allowing you to upload whatever you wish for the internet to see.

Newgrounds: Imagine a downtown area, where various shops and centers await your perusing. Many great ways to waste time can be found here, all rated and submitted by the public. It is a loud and busy place, a fantastic area to get lost in.

LICD.com: Inside of an unassuming little house lies a comedian, who remarks upon life, sex, and travels the world. He is a charming fellow, and is a good person to spend time with.

XKCD.com: Inside of a futuristic ampitheater lies a comedian with a math degree, educating the public in a humorous way, while also satirizing society, romance, mathematics, and many other facets of daily life. He is a hugely popular act, completely free but supported by donations.

Wikipedia: Once a great nation, wikipedia suffers now from a strong uprising of vandals and douchebags. It's great hall of information now covered in graffiti, but many areas are still readable and interesting. It is navigated via a series of ladders, ramps and doorways leading to related topics, and quiet jazz music plays constantly, adding a relaxed air to the entire area.

ESRB.org: Inside of a prison hall lie millions of texts on popular forms of entertainment, stretching back fifty years. The place is remarked on by those who know it's true purpose, but it remains a scarce resourse, despite it's entertainment value (the aforementioned texts discuss in great detail (and with some wit) features of the entertainment).
