25 best free high-quality fonts

25 Best Free FontsFree fonts are everywhere online, but in most cases you get what you pay for. While many people are happy using hacked together fonts, discerning viewers notice the little things that set a well-made font apart from the wannabes.

Freelance web designer Vitaly Friedman has put together a listing of his choice of the best 25 free fonts available online, and it's very hard to argue with his choices. He plainly states that his bias is towards fonts that are useful in a business setting, rather than those that would be more at home "on a colourful teenager's homepage". Don't miss the update at the top of the post including links to new fonts Fontin (seen here) and Delicious. Beautiful stuff.

It's easy to forget that there is more out there in terms of useful business type faces than Times New Roman and Arial. Thanks to Vitaly, we can all experiment with some more interesting but still classy looking fonts in our next report or PowerPoint presentation.

Forumwarz - a potentially offensive time waster

I pwn UAfter spending the better part of an hour on Forumwarz I still can't decide if it's just sick or if it's kind of fun. It's a bit like a car wreck on the highway. I know I shouldn't be looking but I can't quite turn away.

It's sick, it's twisted, it's the internet on it's worst level and darn it, it's kind of fun. At least for a little while.

Forumwarz is a parody role-playing game that takes place on the internet - or at least the Forumwarz version of it. Your goal is to complete missions that are given to you through a mock up of GoogleTalk called Sentrillion.

Your first "friend" is ShallowEsophagus who begins giving you missions to pwn various forums by being a troll. Depending on the character type you are assigned at start up, you have tools like drooling on the keyboard or bashing your head on the keyboard that you can use to destroy forum threads and eventually, pwn a forum.

Future missions involve buying illegal software from the Russians, pwning more difficult forums and other internet oddness.

Completing missions gives you cash, called Flezz in game, and items that you can pawn or use in other missions. The game is NOT for those easily offended. It's crass, coarse and there are frequent f-bombs in the fake chat sessions.

This is also a game for a more mature audience as it requires you to shop at the Drugs R Fun store to get various concoctions to improve your playing, engage in certain cyber activities to get more Flezz and just generally use a more adult perspective.

If you can get past that, here are the more enjoyable and time-wasting aspects.
