Finding DoFollow Sites
With all of the above being said - it is rather difficult to find sites that are "DoFollow"...however, they are out there! Listed below for your convenience are running lists of multiple categories of sites that are DoFollow, and great candidates for your next backlink!
In getting links, regardless of if they're DoFollow or not, please note that Google and other search engines are rather smart these days. If you have multiple links pointing to a page from one DoFollow source, or if that source is also linking to other places that are giving you backlinks (such as your Blogspot or Wordpress account), search engines will notice and may devalue your links to the point where they become worthless. Build links naturally and over time. Provide value and they'll be quality links. Otherwise, you'll hurt your website's link building efforts in the long-run.
By the way -- when it comes to link building, only the first link pointing to a site counts. Posting more than one hyperlink on the same page to the same source won't help in any way.
These are the best dofollow sites that I choose for game related blacklinks.
I have just created this list of DOFOLLOW gaming blogs / Do Follow Games related websites.
You can get free backlinks, better SEO, better Alexa Rank and better PageRank by commenting the dofollow blogs below:
1.http://www.frogview.com
2.http://www.wowfailblog.com

Don't Be A Spammer - Be A Value Provider!
Spamming Dofollow resources will not give you results...not only that, it hurts the entire community, and it persuades Dofollow providers to convert their sites to Nofollow. Be sure that all of your link-building exploits are done so tastefully and honestly. If you don't cram keywords and give an honest account of what your site is about, search engines will reward you for it!
Just write relevant comments and they will surely be approved in a few hours;)

A LIFE
A Life
Touch it: it won't shrink like an eyeball,
This egg-shaped bailiwick, clear as a tear.
Here's yesterday, last year ---
Palm-spear and lily distinct as flora in the vast
Windless threadwork of a tapestry.
Flick the glass with your fingernail:
It will ping like a Chinese chime in the slightest air stir
Though nobody in there looks up or bothers to answer.
The inhabitants are light as cork,
Every one of them permanently busy.
At their feet, the sea waves bow in single file.
Never trespassing in bad temper:
Stalling in midair,
Short-reined, pawing like paradeground horses.
Overhead, the clouds sit tasseled and fancy
As Victorian cushions. This family
Of valentine faces might please a collector:
They ring true, like good china.
Elsewhere the landscape is more frank.
The light falls without letup, blindingly.
A woman is dragging her shadow in a circle
About a bald hospital saucer.
It resembles the moon, or a sheet of blank paper
And appears to have suffered a sort of private blitzkrieg.
She lives quietly
With no attachments, like a foetus in a bottle,
The obsolete house, the sea, flattened to a picture
She has one too many dimensions to enter.
Grief and anger, exorcised,
Leave her alone now.
The future is a grey seagull
Tattling in its cat-voice of departure.
Age and terror, like nurses, attend her,
And a drowned man, complaining of the great cold,
Crawls up out of the sea.
Sylvia Plath

INSPIRATIONAL QUOTES ABOUT LIFE
"This is the beginning of a new day. You have been given this day to use as you will. You can waste it or use it for good. What you do today is important because you are exchanging a day of your life for it. When tomorrow comes, this day will be gone forever; in its place is something that you have left behind...let it be something good."
Author Unknown
“And forget not that the earth delights to feel your bare feet and the winds long to play with your hair.”
Kahlil Gibran
Lebanese Poet and Novelist
Love the earth and sun and animals,
Despise riches, give alms to everyone that asks,
Stand up for the stupid and crazy,
Devote your income and labor to others...
And your very flesh shall be a great poem.
Walt Whitman
American Poet
Here is a test to find out whether your mission in life is complete.
If you're alive, it isn't.
Richard Bach
"There is no such thing in anyone's life
as an unimportant day."
Alexander Woollcott
American Author
People travel to wonder at the height of the mountains, at the huge waves of the seas, at the long course of the rivers, at the vast compass of the ocean, at the circular motion of the stars, and yet they pass by themselves without wondering."
St. Augustine, 354 430
Early Christian Priest, Author
"I would rather be ashes than dust! I would rather that my spark should burn out in a brilliant blaze than it should be stifled by dry rot. I would rather be a superb meteor, every atom of me in magnificent glow, than a sleepy and permanent planet. The proper function of man is to live, not to exist. I shall not waste my days in trying to prolong them. I shall use my time."
Jack London
American Author
Meditate.
Live purely. Be quiet.
Do your work with mastery.
Like the moon, come out
from behind the clouds!
Shine
Buddha
"The Enlightened One:
I will not die an unlived life. I will not live in fear of falling or
catching fire. I choose to inhabit my days, to allow my living to open me, to make me less afraid, more accessible, to loosen my heart until it becomes a wing, a torch, a promise. I choose to risk my significance; to live so that which comes to me as seed goes to the next as blossom and that which comes to me as blossom, goes on as fruit."

A SMILE
A Smile costs nothing but gives much.
It takes but a moment, but the memory of it sometimes lasts forever.
It cannot be bought, begged, borrowed, or stolen, for it is something that is of no value to anyone until it is given away.
Some people are too tired to give you a smile. Give them one of yours, as none needs a smile as much as he who has no more to give.

QUOTATIONS BY ARISTOTLE
The mathematical sciences particularly exhibit order, symmetry, and limitation; and these are the greatest forms of the beautiful.
If things do not turn out as we wish, we should wish for them as they turn out.
The beauty of the soul shines out when a man bears with composure one heavy mischance after another, not because he does not feel them, but because he is a man of high and heroic temper.
All men by nature desire knowledge.
We cannot learn without pain.
The energy of the mind is the essence of life.
What is a friend? A single soul dwelling in two bodies.
We are what we repeatedly do. Excellence, then, is not an act but a habit.
Dignity does not consist in possessing honors, but in deserving them.
Hope is a waking dream.
Friendship is a single soul living in two bodies.
Misfortune shows those who are not really friends.
I count him braver who overcomes his desires than him who conquers his
enemies; for the hardest victory is over self.
Philosophy is the science which considers truth.
Plausible impossibilities should be preferred to unconvincing possibilities.
It is the mark of an educated mind to be able to entertain a thought without accepting it.

QUOTES OF ALBERT EINSTEIN

I cannot do this in spite of the fact that mechanistic causality has, to a certain extent, been placed in doubt by modern science. [He was speaking of Quantum Mechanics and the breaking down of determinism.] My religiosity consists in a humble admiratation of the infinitely superior spirit that reveals itself in the little that we, with our weak and transitory understanding, can comprehend of reality.

--Albert Einstein
36. I never think of the future. It comes soon enough.
--Albert Einstein

--Albert Einstein

--Albert Einstein
98. I want to know how God created this world. I am not interested in this or that phenomenon, in the spectrum of this or that element. I want to know His thoughts; the rest are details.
--Albert Einstein
99. A man's ethical behavior should be based effectually on sympathy, education, and social ties; no religious basis is necessary. Man would indeed be in a poor way if he had to be restrained by fear of punishment and hope of reward after death.
--Albert Einstein
100. A human being is part of the whole called by us universe , a part limited in time and space. We experience ourselves, our thoughts and feelings as something separate from the rest. A kind of optical delusion of consciousness. This delusion is a kind of prison for us, restricting us to our personal desires and to affection for a few persons nearest to us. Our task must be to free ourselves from the prison by widening our circle of compassion to embrace all living creatures and the whole of nature in its beauty... We shall require a substantially new manner of thinking if mankind is to survive.
--Albert Einstein
101. We have to do the best we can. This is our sacred human responsibility.
--Albert Einstein
102. Weakness of attitude becomes weakness of character.
--Albert Einstein
103. We are in the position of a little child entering a huge library filled with books in many different languages. The child knows someone must have written those books . It does not know how. It does not understand the languages in which they are written. The child dimly suspects a mysterious order in the arrangement of the books but doesn't know what it is. That, it seems to me, is the attitude of even the most intelligent human being toward God. We see a universe marvelously arranges and obeying certain laws, but only dimly understand these laws. Our limited minds cannot grasp the mysterious force that moves the constellations.
--Albert Einstein
104. Where there is love there is no question
--Albert Einstein
105. The value of a man resides in what he gives and not in what he is capable of receiving.
--Albert Einstein
106. When you sit with a nice girl for two hours, you think it's only a minute. But when you sit on a hot stove for a minute, you think it's two hours. That's relativity.
--Albert Einstein

[He was speaking of Quantum Mechanics and the breaking down of determinism.] My religiosity consists in a humble admiratation of the infinitely superior spirit that reveals itself in the little that we, with our weak and transitory understanding, can comprehend of reality.

A kind of optical delusion of consciousness. This delusion is a kind of prison for us, restricting us to our personal desires and to affection for a few persons nearest to us.

QUOTATIONS OF WILLIAM SHAKESPEARE
A wretched soul, bruised with adversity,
We bid be quiet when we hear it cry;
But were we burdened with like weight of pain,
As much or more we should ourselves complain.
Action is eloquence
And since you know you cannot see yourself,
so well as by reflection, I, your glass,
will modestly discover to yourself,
that of yourself which you yet know not of.
Assume a virtue, if you have it not.
Be great in act, as you have been in thought
He who has injured thee was either stronger or weaker than thee. If weaker, spare him; if stronger, spare thyself.
His life was gentle; and the elements
So mixed in him, that Nature might stand up,
And say to all the world, THIS WAS A MAN!
How poor are they who have not patience! What wound did ever heal but by degrees.
I am not bound to please thee with my answers
I did never know so full a voice issue from so empty a heart: but the saying is true 'The empty vessel makes the greatest sound'.
I must be cruel only to be kind;
Thus bad begins, and worse remains behind.
I wasted time, and now doth time waste me.
I wish you well and so I take my leave,
I Pray you know me when we meet again.
In time we hate that which we often fear.

FRIENDSHIPS
Friendships
Good friends can be hard to find. Acquaintances, associates, partners, and colleagues are found in abundance. But a true friend is scarce, and to be treasured. If friendships are to become good and lasting, both friends need to work at being good friends.
What are the characteristics of a good friendship?
Makes time. Most friendships fail because of neglect. Making time means getting off work early to accompany a friend to an anxiety-provoking doctor's appointment, or canceling another commitment to attend a friend's acting debut at an amateur playhouse. A friend will make time for the other's significant life events, moments of crisis, and - equally meaningful - in the midst of the mundane.
Keeps a secret. Sharing your secrets helps you explore what's troubling you and get reaction to what you've been holding in your heart. You need to tell your secrets to people who are trustworthy, consider it a privilege to hear what's on your mind, and leave it at that.
Cares deeply. Without care friendship is impossible. Caring involves both your heart and your head. Care says that whatever happens to you happens to me. When you are sad, I am sad. When something terrific happens to you, I rejoice myself.
Provides space. Overly engaged and emotionally needy friends, who don't know the meaning of giving another space, smother you with their very presence. Their constant companionship becomes oppressive - and possessive.
Speaks the truth. Honesty is a prerequisite to a friendship. There must be a willingness to speak the truth, and a willingness to hear the truth. Friends who do not care enough to confront may save themselves a little awkwardness in the present but will end up losing their friendships in the future.
Forgives faults. Every friend you have will eventually disappoint you. You can count on it. They are ordinary people. That's why a lasting friendship depends on forgiveness. Some slights need only be overlooked and forgotten; others need profound forgiveness. The friendship may not continue unless there is also reconciliation, which requires that your friend own up to the truth of the fault and see the pain it caused.
Remains faithful. They don't desert you, even when you are in trouble, or when it costs them something to remain your friend.
Laughs easily. Laughter is the fuel that keeps good friendships going once they are born. It's what enables friends to help each other cope in the midst of crisis and monotony.
Celebrates success. A defining trait of a good friend is the ability to stick with you in the bad times. But sometimes the true test of a friend's staying power is in his or her ability to be supportive when things are going well. A good friend will spread the good news and be happy for your achievements.
Says a prayer. Prayer catapults friendship into the deepest and highest work of the human spirit. It involves God in the relationship, and makes all these traits do-able.

IF YOU CANT
If you can't be a pine on the top of the hill
Be a scrub in the valley--but be
The best little scrub by the side of the rill;
Be a bush if you can't be a tree.
If you can't be a bush be a bit of the grass,
And some highway some happier make;
If you can't be a muskie then just be a bass--
But the liveliest bass in the lake!
We can't all be captains, we've got to be crew,
There's something for all of us here.
There's big work to do and there's lesser to do,
And the task we must do is the near.
If you can't be a highway then just be a trail,
If you can't be the sun be a star;
It isn't by size that you win or you fail--
Be the best of whatever you are!
Be a scrub in the valley--but be

If you can't be a muskie then just be a bass--

THIS TOO SHALL PASS
If I can endure for this minute
Whatever is happening to me,
No matter how heavy my heart is
Or how dark the moment may be
If I can remain calm and quiet
With all the world crashing about me,
Secure in the knowledge God loves me
When everyone else seems to doubt me
If I can but keep on believing
What I know in my heart to be true,
That darkness will fade with the morning
And that this will pass away, too
Then nothing in life can defeat me
For as long as this knowledge remains
I can suffer whatever is happening
For I know God will break all of the chains
That are binding me tight in the darkness
And trying to fill me with fear
For there is no night without dawning
And I know that my morning is near.

THINGS TO THINK
I am making all the right choices.
Failure is impossible.
It doesn't hurt more than you can stand.
It only hurts as long as you haven't seen the point.
It doesn't have to hurt at all.
On the whole, men and women would rather like you than not.
You don't have to do anything you can't.
There is enough time for everything, but
give your full attention to only one thing at a time.
Need only what you can supply yourself or already have.
Don't settle. It is better to have nothing than to be
stuck with inferior something.
Calm down.
Don't forget to breathe.

DARING GREATLY
It is not the critic who counts
Not the man who points out how the strong man stumbled
Or where the doer of deeds could have done them better.
The credit goes to the man who is actually in the arena
Whose face is marred by dust and blood
Who strives valiantly
Who errs and comes short again and again.
Who knows great enthusiasms
The great devotions.
Who spends himself in a worthy cause
Who at best knows in the end
the triumph of high achievement
And who at the worst, if he fails
At least fails while Daring Greatly
So that his place shall never be
With the timid souls
Who neither know victory or defeat.
