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

- Apparently, the producers of Lost really do listen to the fans - sometimes. The characters Nikki and Paulo were introduced when fans said they wanted to know more about the other castaways. But when fans complained about the Nikki and Paulo storyline taking away from the main story, the writers responded by burying those characters alive. The point is, complain enough, and maybe they'll listen to you!
- Here's a trailer for Ultimate Moral Kombat for the DS, which seems to include a couple of installments of the popular super-violent fighting franchise, as well as MK Puzzle Kombat.
- This month is the 30th anniversary of the Atari 2600. Ah, memories.
- Gamercize is an exercise device that attaches to your video game console controller. As long as you keep exercising, the controller will work, but as soon as you stop, the controller stops, too. Sounds like a pretty clever, if potentially frustrating, idea.
- Any Wii owner who wants them can ask Nintendo for up to four silicone Wii Remote Jackets, and Nintendo will mail them out, free of charge. Good old Nintendo! They're so nice. We don't think we'll be making a request, though, because those jackets look ugly! Plus, we've never lost control of our Wii Remote before.
- Could Bungie—the creators of Halo—be splitting from Microsoft?! Sounds like something Microsoft would never allow to happen, but who knows...
- There doesn't seem to be a way to link to the specific posts on the Super Smash Bros. Brawl blog (design flaw!), but if you check out the latest two, you'll see videos and information on Snake and his stage in the game. He wants to eat Yoshi, that crazy bastard. (Via)
- The United Arab Emirates might be blocking its citizens out of the Facebook website.
- Weekly throughout this month, IDW will be releasing a comic-book series meant to tie-in with the upcoming computer-animated Beowulf movie.
- According to the New York Post, the extra who so famously revealed plot spoilers for Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull in an interview with a local paper has had his scenes cut out of the movie by a furious Spielberg.
- A pilot for a TV show adaptation of Max Allan Collins' graphic novel Johnny Dynamite is in the works. It'll be produced by Law & Order creator Dick Wolf, directed by D.J. Caruso, written by J.H. Wyman, and made using the 300 green screen technology. The story is about an ex-cop who goes to Las Vegas looking for his missing girlfriend, only to end up helping the unfortunate souls he finds out there who've been literally making deals with Satan. Sounds like fun!
- The Movie Blog has for you their list of the Top Ten Over-Hyped Films. Keep in mind these aren't necessarily bad movies, they're just movies that got so much hype that actually seeing the movie was disappointing.
- Rumor is that Tim Burton is going to make for Disney a feature-length stop-motion animated version of his short film Frankenweenie.
- What can't the Wii do? It's being used for physical therapy at a medical facility in Minneapolis, and by the Army in Landstuhl, Germany.
- Rumor is that Sony has a big announcement ready for October 12th, and that the code name for the announcement is "Big Bang."
- The Simpsons Game is going to feature a little MMO-type dealie called Neverquest; here's the trailer. Apparently this is only one aspect of the game as whole, but it looks like it'd be pretty fun if the whole game were just this.
- Heh. Check out this video of Indiana Jones as a playable character in Lego Star Wars: The Complete Saga. Inserting Jones into the Star Wars universe makes little to no sense (and he doesn't seem to fare well against lasers), but that doesn't mean it's not awesome.
