Infinite Lives: Watch The Best E3 Documentary Right Now, For Free.
A few years ago, FleshEatingZipper’s own Kelly and I produced a documentary about our road trip to the Electronic Entertainment Expo. Normally dominated by professionals like retailers and game journalists (that would be the 2012 version of FleshEatingZipper’s own Kelly and me), the film showed how one gets in, how they get there, and what they do there as an outsider. Now you can watch it online, for free. That’s right. Check it out after the break!

Apple’s iMac Can’t Lead In A PC Market It Created
Nearly fifteen years ago, with Steve Jobs having just returned to Apple and the niche PC maker now in seriously trouble, the company released one of its first new products: the iMac. An all-in-one computer encased in a colorful transparent eggshell, it looked vaguely hideous, but managed to become pretty popular. Over the years, the design got better and better as Apple rose to consumer electronic dominance, but marketshare is one thing they’ve never been able to capture.

FleshEatingZipper: Now With Facebook Comments!
A few months ago, we had a debate internally about switching our comments system. We’d been using Disqus for the past year and we all initially loved it because it allowed for an easy log in from a variety of sources. But as time marched on and the articles began to aggregate comments more and more, there were some flaws that started to poke through.

Now bear in mind, we came from TeamXbox in which we danced around in virtual identities, but this was something so very different: we were going to be putting ourselves on display. Our real selves. Tonight we’re implementing the new Facebook comments system. Here’s why.

HOLY SITH! SWTOR Hits 350,000 Concurrent Online Users

According to numbers showing up now, we may have some answers.

2011: FleshEatingZipper’s Year In Review
You and I have both spent the past few days reading everyone else’s 2011 Year In Review articles and come to the same conclusion: they’re all talking about the same stuff.

What we’re going to do is slightly different: we’re going to talk about us.
