Whiz of the Web: Tuesday Torpedoes

The shapeless dough of the internet, formed into tasty pellets and baked to perfection, just for you.

• You've probably heard about the scandals arising around Senator George Allen. The man has been accused of often using the "N" word in his younger days, and is on tape calling one of his opponent's campaign volunteers a "macaca," which is an ethnic slur in some North African countries. Well, just in case he's managed to miss insulting you personally, you can use The George Allen Insult Generator, so you don't feel left out. (Via)
• You'll be able to download and play Commodore 64 games on the Wii. Sweeet.
• Thrill as the New York Review of Books discusses "Heroic Nerd" H. P. Lovecraft - his life, his work, his recent growth in popularity, and his selection for the Library of America. Woo hoo! Go Lovecraft! (Via)
• The owners of next gen video game consoles, explained in Venn diagram format. There's nothing like some good Venn diagram humor.
• Sweet - AICN's got set pics from the filming of Quentin Tarantino's half of Grind House, Death Proof! Sadly, they're not all that exciting. But you do get to see the killer car and Kurt Russell. (Via)
• A sequel to War Games called War Games II: The Deadly Key is apparently actually going to get made. It's scheduled for filming next month. The story? Pretty much the same, except this time it's terrorists instead of nuclear war. Sigh.
• What would happen if George W. Bush were assassinated? That's what a little British made-for-TV movie drama called Death of a President examines, using a clever combination of stock footage and new, fictional footage. It won a big award at the Toronto International Film Festival, and now it's getting a theatrical release. Check out the trailer here. (Via)

This pic of a Commodore 64 on the Utah Salt Flats is just one entry in Flickr user kteague's fantastic "C-64 Road Trip" photo set. You should really click through and check out the rest.
