The best of the internet, squirted out in flavorful neon globules, just for you. The sad news has spread quickly across the internet that co-creator of Dungeons & Dragons Gary Gygax has died.

The best of the internet, squirted out in flavorful neon globules, just for you.

A tall, icy glass of our favorite internet junk, just for you. The concept of controlling a computer and/or a video game with only your mind has been around for a long time, and lately it's been getting closer and closer to reality. Now it looks like the reality is finally here: a neuro-headset which interprets the interaction of neurons in the brain and sends them wirelessly to a USB dongle connected to your computer......

The best of the internet, chopped into tiny bits and grilled for your enjoyment. Ain't It Cool News claims to have found the final explanation for how Terry Gilliam will complete his film The Imaginarium of Dr. Parnassus now that the star, Heath Ledger, is dead: apparently Johnny Depp, Jude Law, and Colin Farrell will all fill in for Ledger in "a weird sort of I’m Not There-esque tribute to the actor." Huh. Well, that......

A steaming hot pile of our favorite things from around the internets. We've seen examples of humorous rejected Star Wars merchandise before, but... here's some more! Always funny! Plus, we totally want that Jabba the Hutt beanbag chair. The first photo from the set of G.I. Joe is... a guy talking on a phone. Still, kind of vaguely exciting.

Joe movie, apparently had some troubles with his Visa, and couldn't make it into the States in time for the start of shooting. So now Chris Eccleston will get the role. Which is actually pretty cool.

A tall, icy glass of our favorite internet junk, just for you. Even though Will Arnett's performance as the voice of K.I.T.T. in the upcoming Knight Rider TV movie was already done and in the can, he's now been replaced with Val Kilmer due to a conflict of interest: Arnett has done voicework on GMC truck commercials for over a decade, and K.I.T.T. is a Ford Mustang. This sounds like a joke, but it's apparently......

The shapeless dough of the internet, formed into tasty pellets and baked to perfection, just for you. The Golden Globes have been sort of cancelled! They'll still be announcing the winners in an hour-long press conference on NBC, but no stars will be there and there won't be any parties or celebrations. It's all due to the writers' strike, of course. Speaking of the writers' strike, more and more of the independent studios are making......
