Happy Thanksgiving From The Staff Of FleshEatingZipper!
GOBBLE GOBBLE
Are you a turkey fan? Well, tomorrow peeps like you are gonna be gobbling up the gobble gobble and other stuff. Me, I’d just be happy with a big bowl of stuffing. I don’t even like turkey. Anyway, while you and yours are celebrating company, we’ll be doing the same, but we’ll be working on Planetside 2, Forza Horizon, Call of Duty: Black Ops 2, Halo 4, probably episodes of Parenthood, and some other genuinely awesome stuff.
We’ll see you guys on Monday!
Love,
Your pals at FEZ

Engadget Reveals New Web Site, Shines Brighter Than The Content
No, I’m not a fan of the typeface in the highlight box being different than everything else.
Yesterday, Aol’s big tech blog unveiled a major redesign that, admittedly, is probably the best thing they’ve done since Topolsky and crew left. The content is still pretty light, I’m not a fan of ripping out review scores, and they’ve been chasing features other sites have actually done proper, but this part they got pretty right and you should check it out for that part at least. What did they improve? Well…

Goodbye Windows Live Messenger, You Were So Awesome
Memories…
When I started working over at TeamXbox, I was told that using AOL Instant Messenger was super lame and that MSN Messenger was the super righteous. This was a decade ago and AIM is still an incredibly popular reason to claim you have an Aol account. MSN Messenger had many more features than AIM, tied to your Hotmail account, and all my friends were using it. Well, times change…
