90 online file storage services

Online storageSo yesterday we made a big deal about AOL's announcement that beginning in September it would be offering 5GB of free online storage for everyone through its Xdrive service, but as savvy Download Squad readers know, Xdrive isn't the only game in town. Not by a long shot. In fact, it turns out that Listible has a list of 90 Online File Storage Services. Of course, there's a lot of variety among these services' offerings and limitations, but most of them have some level of free service. If you're looking for a place to dump some files online and can't wait til September for Xdrive, or if it doesn't meet your needs, you're quite likely to find what you're looking for at Listible.

Listible: Social lists for every occasion

ListibleThough Victor mentioned Listible in passing a few weeks back, I've been meaning for awhile to shine the spotlight on it a bit more. What is Listible? Well, it's kind of like Digg (if I had a nickel for every time I wrote that...) but for lists of stuff instead of tech news. Looking for a free game to play? Listible lists 26 of them. Looking for Lost fan sites? Listible has 22 links. Web 2.0 links? 20 of them. You get the idea. And of course you can vote any link up or down, add your own links to any list, or create your own lists, though that'll require a user account.

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.
