For me it was Gaia Online, because you could dress up your avatar. XD I quit a long time ago though.

Gamesradar. But it's not what it used to be. Their are just a tonne of useless features and the British guy's are really annoying.

This. I used to think of Gamesradar as 'the Cracked of video games!' but they shifted to a daily format and now it just bloooows there. Even their podcast is suffering because they'd rather spend time being like 'What if the Wii was made of PUDDING!?' than anything.
 
Also, Cracked.com

I used Gamespot a lot but I can't say I was really addicted to any website, I did play more MMOs back then though.

I refuse to incriminate myself, but it involves Japanese girlpop and lots of swearing.

This is pretty much my go-to hub. I usually don't need to leave the site unless I'm lookin' for downloads or searching wikipedia. Or porn.

Google - As much as I tried to fight the addiction I was unable to avoid Google. Every time I opened a browser I found myself confronted by Google

I used Gamespot, even after they fired Jeff. I didn't find Giant Bomb until about half a year into it's existence. I was pretty thrilled to find that the old Hotspot/On the Spot/Button Mashing crew had their own website.

I was never addicted to a gaming site before Giant Bomb. I only went to Gamefaqs when I absolutely needed to.

Of course like many of you gamespot back in the day when it was actually worth something and one that no one here seems to have been to a lot was actually gamepro (user name illusive1 or illusive_1 can't remember which it was lol) it had a great community back in I think 06 to 08.

Wow. I posted the exact same thing the moment I entered the thread, then I went back through the thread and saw you already wrote it. If you remove *twitch twitch* and make the periods exclamation points, it's the exact same post.

Gamefaqs, I still a slight affinity towards how their boards were structured. But after I discovered the bombcast, I packed up my bags and traveled across the internet here. While I occasionally visit for specific games, Demon's Souls in particular, I call this place home.

I used to go on Gamespot and IGN, but IGN is too much of a sophmoric website and it always messes up my computer (Well, since their new look), and Gamespot I never really left until I realized they release so few reviews (I know, I should be ashamed of myself for getting on there every once in a while. Sorry guys). I am no Gamespot supporter though, so I guess that's somewhat good news.

Gamespy, and all its Planet sites (PlanetQuake, PlanetDoom, etc.). I still visit those sites (gotta check Morning Gas on PlanetQuake each day), but Giant Bomb has definitely replaced them as my web site addiction.
