‘Strip Search’ Recap: Season 1, Episode 10 “Elimination #3”
It’s time for the Eliminator!
A few months ago, Penny Arcade’s Mike Krahulik (Gabe) had teased about an elimination episode that he became emotional wreck deciding to eliminate a contestant. I’d actually forgotten about it until tonight because this is that episode.
Starbreeze Says “Games Are Too Long”, They’re Kinda Right
Syndicate wasn’t long by any stretch of the imagination.
After the commercial failure of Syndicate, a game I enjoyed, it seems fitting that Starbreeze is taking on a whole new direction with Brothers: A Tale Of Two Brothers. In an interview with PC Gamer, one you should read, Filmmaker Josef Fares, who’s working with the developer to create the game, delivers a battery of opinions about the industry (like how motion controllers like the Kinect and Move “are bullshit”), but the one that struck me was about how games are being padded for length, something I can definitely agree with.
Disney/Pixar Tease ‘Finding Dory’, Due Out November 25, 2015
Is she lost? Is that a question?
Looks like Conan O’Brien is gonna have company! Taking place a year after the original Finding Nemo, and releasing twelve years after that film, Disney and Pixar’s newly unveiled animated feature will once-again star Ellen Degeneres as the blue fish with short-term memory issues. I’m actually kinda excited despite not really enjoying Finding Nemo when it released.
‘House Of Cards’ Coming To DVD/Blu-ray In June Because Money Is To Be Made
Francis wheels and deals on shiny discs soon enough.
Watching House of Cards over the course of two days (and loving it), it had never crossed my mind that at some point, the rights to the physical release may have been purchased. Well, turns out Sony bought them from Media Rights Capital, the group who owns House of Cards, and will be bringing the series to all your traditional shiny discs on June 11th because, sadly, it’s still not the future in some places.
Funny Or Die’s Reveals Teaser Trailer for ‘iSteve’ Jobs Biopic
It’s hard to make heads or tails of this thing.
It seems, I don’t know, ironic, that a site called Funny or Die is producing what appears to be a pretty serious biopic about Steve Jobs starring former spokesmodel Justin Long. You know, from those ads? Well, we now have a teaser to go along with this bizarre creature.
‘Thief’ Announcement Trailer Arrives, Steals 70 Seconds Of Your Time
Oh yes, I love that wordmark.
Square-Enix had intended to bring the trailer for their reboot of stealth-genre favorite Thief tomorrow, but we’ll let it slide. We got excited when the game was finally unveiled last month and now that we have some motion to match the notion, we’re even moreso.
Movie Dump-Bin Review: Mafia (2011)
Oh Robert Patrick, you can do better than this!
We at FleshEatingZipper receive a number of straight-to-DVD releases that wind up going straight to the Movie Dump-Bin, a special purgatory that serves as a home to D-list celebrities and the worst possible moviemaking you can possibly imagine. Sometimes these films come close to earning their wings, but most are of the ilk that should never be reasoned with…
Game Developer Chris Hecker Uses PlayStation 4 Unveil To Criticize Gaming Industry
It’s like the old stuff, but new.
Chris Hecker is no stranger to controversy. During his stint at Maxis, he called the Wii “two GameCubes duct-taped together” and “a piece of shit”. This year, he decided to use his five minutes to rant at the Game Developers Conference about the present and future of gaming, using various clips from Sony’s PlayStation 4 unveiling to prove his point. Hecker is no great editor, but his point becomes clear pretty quick.
I Welcome Our New Drone Overlords: Automotons To Fly Crap Like Newspapers To You Soon
bzzzzZZZZZZZZZzzzzzzzz
Drones have been getting a real negative rap in the media over the past few years. Whether it’s massive Predator drones nuking people abroad or how local municipalities seek to employ the buggers to surveil you at all times, it’s becoming hard to believe there was a time, if only for a moment, that the dream of autonomous flyers in our skies seemed like a cool, futuristic idea. If The Verge doesn’t publish something critical about drones on a daily basis, then Topolsky and his crew have failed. But let’s lighten up.
‘Conan’ To Stay On TBS Until At Least November 2015
Confusingly amused?
Conan O’Brien’s ejection from The Tonight Show and re-found justification on TBS is one of the most bittersweet stories of the past few years. NBC wasn’t pleased with his inability to entertain The Tonight Show‘s geriatric audience and they booted him for it. It’s for that very same reason, his ability to generate tons of internet views amongst a younger audience, that TBS is keeping him around for a bit longer.
