A steaming hot pile of our favorite things from around the internets.

- Pizza Hut online ordering is out of beta! Well, so to speak. They now have system-wide online ordering available, which we believe means that any Pizza Hut that delivers can now be made to do so via the internet. It's a giant leap for lazy nerds everywhere! And we are including ourselves in that description, of course. (Via Sarah)
- The LOLCats phenomenon marches on! Now you can enjoy The LOLcky Horror Picture Show, or make your own LOLCats graphics using the handy LolCat Builder. (Via Amy)
- Web and computer privacy may now be a thing of the past, due to a new ruling by a federal judge in LA declaring that a computer servers' RAM must be turned over in a lawsuit. (Via Jill)
- An Avengers movie is in the works, to be written by Zak Penn, but don't expect it for a while, as Marvel wants to put out solo movies about each of the team's heroes first. Speaking of which, one-time member of the Avengers, Captain America, looks likely to be the next Marvel hero to get a movie. David Self is writing the screenplay and a director will be announced soon. The story is supposedly half period film, half not. Here's hoping it'll be better than the last Captain America film...
- Marvel isn't the only comic book company making movies, of course; from the DC front comes the news that Kieran and Michele Mulroney have turned in a script for a Justice League movie. Early word is that it's a good one, and they're already looking for somebody to direct it.
- David S. Goyer is going to write and direct a film that will be sort of a sequel to HG Wells' The Invisible Man, wherein the nephew of the original dude finds his formula and uses it to help MI5 during WWII. That sounds kind of silly, but it could be fun.
- Four classic genre movies from RKO Pictures' libraries are going to get the remake treatment, including The Body Snatcher and I Walked with a Zombie.
- A new report is urging the American Medical Association to "formally recognize game addiction as a genuine diagnosed disorder." And man, do we need a fix right now...
- Screw Attack, via Wired, presents us with a list, in video form, of the Top Ten Worst Fighting Games. See if your least favorite made the list!
- Apparently Aqua Teen Hunger Force isn't the only Adult Swim show slated to become a next gen video game title; word is Cartoon Network will be converting many of its late night, adult-themed shows into gaming properties.
- Joystiq's got a small collection of videos demoing the controls for the upcoming Zelda game for the DS. Oh, man. That looks really cool.
- You can use modern technology to make your retro gaming even more retro! Just load up the PowerPak with a CompactFlash card that has some NES ROMs on it, and you can plug the PowerPak into your actual NES machine and play those ROMs on it, instead of on the emulator on your computer. Why would you want to do this? Uh... because it's retro, that's why!
- Google Video has changed into less of another YouTube and more of a real video search engine. Seeing as how Google owns YouTube now, it's a move that makes sense.
- For Friday fun, Shiny Shiny has linked us to a filthy font, which we suggest not using when typing an email to your boss. In fact, you might not even want to look at it at work...
- Another great idea for a blog: Bad Spock Drawings. Every post includes another illustration of everybody's favorite Vulcan. Excellent. (Via)
- The Movie Blog has a couple of Dark Knight pics for us: the new Batman suit, and the Joker's car.
- John Cusack would like to play Nite Owl in Watchmen, but it sounds like his chances are slim; Cinematical seems to think the casting of the major roles is already all but done, which unfortunately means that Keanu Reeves probably is going to play Dr. Manhattan. Argh! Well, at least Jude Law is also probably in the movie.
- There's a trailer online now for the Coen brothers' new movie, No Country for Old Men, and you need to go watch it right now. Looks like our favorite filmmaking team has gone back to basics with a brutal, intense crime thriller, and we couldn't be more excited.
- The Castlevania movie has a new director, and oddly enough it's Sylvain White, the guy who made Stomp the Yard. Interesting choice! We'll have to see how this turns out...
