A steaming hot pile of our favorite things from around the internets. Looks like Spore is coming to the iPhone, too. People, do you know what weekend it is? It's Super Smash Bros. Brawl launch weekend!! GameStop will be holding Brawl tournaments and midnight launches this Saturday at 2,500 of its stores, including a number in Philadelphia (via). Joystiq has their own first impressions of the game, as well as a metareview. Finally, they also......

A tall, icy glass of our favorite internet junk, just for you. Yet another thing you can do with the all-purpose food that is bacon: make vodka out of it! (Via Sarah) Cool pics of a new stage in Super Smash Bros. Brawl that re-imagines the first level of Super Mario Bros. And every once in a while, it will randomly load up the second, underground level instead. (Via) Scott Adams got his readers to......

If you're a regular reader of the site - well, then first of all, God bless you, and we love you. But secondly, it should be obvious by now that this Phillyist is a bit of a video game fan. We definitely try to keep up with the latest, cutting edge stuff as best we can, but the old NES titles still have a strong, nostalgic glow to them. Super Mario Bros., Legend of Zelda,......

A tall, icy glass of our favorite internet junk, just for you. Do Philly frat boys have the worst taste in beer ever? Well, this one does. Remember that interesting little Stickman guy we posted a photo of in a recent Photoist column? Here's some more info on him. As you are probably already aware, the latest adjustments to the iPod and iPhone product lines were announced yesterday. Here's reflections about it all from Nerd......

A steaming hot pile of our favorite things from around the internets. Heh. The Daily News got a great photo of Mayor Street waiting in line for his iPhone. (Via Neil) Any film geek is bound to have issues with the AFI's latest list of 100 greatest films, but here's a blog that took their issues a step further and made a detailed list of the films the AFI missed - both times they counted......

The best of the internet, chopped into tiny bits and grilled for your enjoyment. The internet is a wonderful place where every day you can find people out there inventing ingenious new foods. Take, for instance, these meatloaf cupcakes where the frosting is made of mashed potatoes. Brilliant! (Via Sarah) This appears to have gone up on Thursday last week, but it's the first time we're seeing it, so we'll pass it on to you,......

The best of the internet, squirted out in flavorful neon globules, just for you. Apropos of Something is pretty excited about the pending release of Spider-Man 3 - thus today's list of The Ten Best Superhero Movies of All Time. We can't say we agree with all Jess's picks, though. We don't really get the campy '60s Batman, or the Spider-Man movies. Batman Begins would probably take the top spot on our list, with the......

A tall, icy glass of our favorite internet junk, just for you. It's Carmen Sandiego, but not like you remember! And not at all safe for work. Hee hee! (Via) An indie filmmaker had a cool idea for how to screen his movie in Hollywood: let everyone who sees it pay only what they think it's worth. It's free to get in, and then you decide afterwards what you want to pay. There are a......

A steaming hot pile of our favorite things from around the internets. The title of the seventh and final Harry Potter book has been announced, and it is Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows. J.K. wanted to make sure what we were in for and put "death" in the damn title! Pretty exciting and horrifying. The Movie Blog has what is apparently a real picture of Keith Richards in his outfit and makeup for Pirates......

The shapeless dough of the internet, formed into tasty pellets and baked to perfection, just for you. The internet has its fair share of things that are totally stupid, and yet also hilariously funny. This is one of them. We posted a list of previews of Zelda: Twilight Princess yesterday which included a quote from this article, but we finally got around to actually reading the whole thing just recently, and it got us super-excited......

The best of the internet, chopped into tiny bits and grilled for your enjoyment. We're kind of excited about the upcoming Castlevania movie, despite the fact that video game adaptations are almost universally bad, and that the writer/director of this particular effort - Paul W. S. Anderson - has done some pretty not-great work in the past (his Mortal Kombat is probably one of the best films based on a video game ever made, but......

The shapeless dough of the internet, formed into tasty pellets and baked to perfection, just for you. Okay, this is something you've got to see: a guy in some kind of weird pizza/dog outfit plays Guitar Hero multi-player, by himself, with a custom double-neck guitar (the video is embedded above, or click through to watch it on YouTube). He doesn't do it very well, admittedly, but still - awesome. It's time to end that 1UP......

If you read Phillyist regularly (and if not, why not?), you're probably already aware that we're partial to both music and video games, so when the two come packaged together, we get rather excited. And that's just what's happening at a couple of upcoming shows at First Unitarian. First up on Sunday night is the Advantage/French Toast/Chromelodeon show. French Toast has nothing to do with video games as far as we know, but they......

A steaming hot pile of our favorite things from around the internets. Check out this jaw-dropping split-screen video, apparently real (although who knows these days), of a dude playing a two-player arcade game by himself, using one hand to control each player. The video follows him through an entire level, and he only gets killed once, meanwhile performing ridiculously amazing feats of ambidextrousisity (is that a word?). This ain't no kids' game, either; it's the......

The best of the internet, squirted out in flavorful neon globules, just for you. Slate figures your kids will have a lot of questions about the Brangelina baby, and so they helpfully walk you through how to answer them in this ridiculous and hilarious article. (Via Sarah) Have you ever dreamed of being a little Italian plumber, breaking bricks with your fists and crushing evil mushrooms underfoot? Well your dream may just become a reality,......

The best of the internet, squirted out in flavorful neon globules, just for you. Hey, you can read most of Action Comics #1 online! (That's the first appearance of Superman, for you n00bs out there.) We say "most" because we're almost sure a few pages are missing. Either that or the story is told in a really weird way. Anyway, we're ashamed to say we'd never read this comic before, and having done so now......

The best of the internet, squirted out in flavorful neon globules, just for you. We're getting closer and closer to a computer that you can control with your brain alone. Don't throw out your keyboard and mouse just yet, but within the next five years we could have at least a computerized typewriter that translates your brainwaves into letters and words. Happily, one of the researchers behind the most recent advances in this technology, Klaus-Robert......

The best of the internet, squirted out in flavorful neon globules, just for you. Check out this awesome stop-motion animated live action short film The Art of Motion, which looks to have been made by a handful of college students. It features some pretty fantastic animation, as well as a fun fight sequence and a great soundtrack (you'll recognize the song). A great way to kill two and a half minutes. (Via) Galbadia Hotel is......

The best of the internet, squirted out in flavorful neon globules, just for you. Check out The Fancy Pants Adventure, a pretty cool Flash platformer, with play reminiscent (perhaps even a bit too reminiscent sometimes) of classics like Super Mario Bros. and Sonic the Hedgehog, and art reminiscent of...scribbling. Only World 1 is complete right now (which Phillyist beat handily, we might add), but much more is promised in the near future. (Via) Ipifini's programmable......

A tall, icy glass of our favorite internet junk, just for you. Wired News has an interesting and kind of creepy article on the growing buzz and controversy surrounding artistic body implants. We're not talking about fake breasts here now; we're talking about jamming pretty much any sized or shaped chunk of silicone under your skin anywhere on your body (see above, or check out the link for more pictures). The way it works is,......
