Whiz of the Web: Thirsty Thursday

A tall, icy glass of our favorite internet junk, just for you.

• Turns out when making a bus ad graphic, you might want to consider where on your image certain parts of the bus will be sticking out... (Via Jason)
• Nintendo clarified some details about their upcoming WiiWare service, saying that there's not really a cap on the size of games developed for it, developers are just being encouraged to make smaller, more compact games. Developers will probably be limited to one release per month at first while Nintendo addresses possible volume issues. As for prices, no hard numbers yet, but they say the point is to offer new content at low prices.
• Wow - Super Mario Galaxy sounds fantastic. Can't wait!
• The Friday the 13th remake has a new director: Marcus Nispel, who's a bit of an old hand at remaking classic slasher films; he also did the Texas Chainsaw Massacre remake. Production is supposed to begin soon with a release date of mid-2008.
• Apparently the Best Buy just over the bridge and up the road in Princeton, NJ has been selling their "last" Wii over and over and over again in some kind of weird scheme to sell the video game console... even faster?
• "A Dutch teenager has been arrested for stealing about $5900 worth of virtual furniture in the MMO Habbo Hotel." The guy in question is 17, and apparently he and five fifteen-year-olds were involved in a scheme where they tricked other players out of their passwords, then went into their virtual houses and nabbed their virtual furniture (bought with real money) to put in their own virtual houses. The world is a strange place.
• We've got your Rock Band updates right here. First, go "Behind the Music" of the Rock Band band (heh), then take a look at the pricing and release schedule for Rock Band downloadable content (via).
• And while we're talking rocking rhythm games, Rock Band's uncle Guitar Hero III has some news of its own: a PC version came out on Tuesday, and a hybrid version that will work for both Macs and PCs (and which will ultimately replace the PC-only version) is on the way later this year.
