The internet, as useful and entertaining as it might be, also has its share of things nobody can explain. Webdriver Torso's strange YouTube videos are just the latest phenomenon that has caught our imaginations.

The soundtrack to Fez officially released on Friday, at a pay-what-you-like price (with a minimum of $7).
