Plugs

I'm gonna plug some good sites here, stuff I like to read on a fairly regular basis. Only gonna mention the lesser known shit here, no sense in plugging Slashdot, Fark, Ars, etc.
Kotaku:
Kotaku is a fantastic blog (part of the whole Gawker Media deal) that talks and reports about video games. I'm a huge gaming nut, love me some video games, and this site has the best news and gaming commentaries I've ever read. I could visit this site anywhere between 1 and 1 billion times a day if it's slow.
MLB Rumors:
Since the baseball season is coming up, I figure mentioning this one is pretty timely. Great amount of baseball transaction news here. They have done a great job with the hot stove coverage, both aggregating other sites' postings, but giving thoughts on the items as well. In addition, they have a pretty savvy base of commenters over.
Consumerist:
Another Gawker Media one here. This site is an absolute necessity for anyone that considers themselves an informed consumer. Recall information, companies wronging customers, the "Worst Company in America" tournament. So much great shit here. Another site with great commenters.
Torrent Freak:
Not a bit torrent site exactly, they are more a site reporting on P2P news. I have always liked the site, but they really started to shine with their daily coverage of the Pirate Bay trial. I would advise going back and reading the synopses of these in order. Really interesting shit
Highly Essential:
This is a fairly new site run by a friend, but so far, I'm digging the posts. I generally hate blogs unless they are strictly constrained to a topic, but I like this one. Ignore the Mac news (that shit is played out) and read the rest of it. I got the link to http://laserportraits.com from them, so I'm happy as a clam for that.
Others:
Gorilla Grams
The Superficial
MLive Sports
Punknews
