A tall, icy glass of our favorite internet junk, just for you.
- We posted a link to an xkcd comic a while back wherein a character created a virus that would force commenters on YouTube to listen to any comments they tried to make by reading their words back to them aloud. The idea was to shame them with their own stupidity. Clever and funny—and now, reality. The developers at YouTube created an option that allows you to hear an audio preview of your comment before you make it.
- Five ways that Doctor Who made a difference.(Via Sarah)
- Anyone who's actually read any history can tell you that Cindy McCain's recent claim that Barack Obama is waging "the dirtiest campaign in American history" is totally bogus. But mental_floss has made this fact even clearer by picking out some particularly dirty tricks from previous campaigns in American history (via Sarah). Just look at the way Jefferson and Adams laid into each other! Damn. Of course, some candidates are capable of more than nasty bickering: just look at the poetry of Sarah Palin! (And btw, if you hadn't heard, the 20-year-old Tennessee student who was under suspicion for allegedly hacking into Palin's private Yahoo e-mail account has been indicted.)
- A fascinating analysis of Red Dawn. (Via Sarah)

- Funny or Die has been following up their hilarious Paris Hilton video with more videos wherein Hilton seeks the advice of past fake presidents on running for fake president herself. Here's one where she talks to Martin Sheen.
- News from Microsoft's pre-Tokyo Game Show 2008 press conference! Tekken 6 is coming to the Xbox 360 in fall 2009, and we can expect Resident Evil 5 is also finally on its way. In other TGS news, No More Heroes 2 is coming, as evidenced by this teaser trailer.

- Joystiq gives its impressions of Quantum of Solace after a hands-on experience with the game.
- Rumor has it that LucasArts has licensed out its Rogue Squadron games to an unnamed publisher that is updating their visuals and control schemes for Wii. We didn't love all the Rogue Squadron games, but one or two were pretty cool, so this is pretty exciting news—if it's true.
- It looks like Dan, Fei-Long, Sakura, and Seth are all joining the cast of Street Fighter IV. We're particularly excited about Fei-Long, because Fei-Long rules.
- Creepy little robot girl! Aaahhh!

- More fun at Super Punch with steampunk and Star Wars.
