Whiz of the Web: Friday Fried Onions

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

  • 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...
