The Lord of The Rings “Extended Editions” to Premiere June 14th
Can you believe it’s been almost a decade since The Fellowship of the Ring was released in theaters? The world has changed quite a bit since then but one thing remains: my everlasting love of the series. If you haven’t been to the movie theater lately, it gives me great joy to announce that Fathom Events will be showing the extended editions of the trilogy starting June 14th! Look for more information after the break!

The Startup Guys
Holy crap this is exactly how FleshEatingZipper started except we don’t focus on anything, instead we just throw random stuff together and call it a website and pay/bribe/blackmail people to read our site and write comments. Oh and there is no actual people that really write anything, it’s a computer from the future that has a split personality.
zomg Pulse Gun!
So there I was, tooling around the interwebs. Hit up some music over here. Scope out some porn over there, watch a YouTube video of a working, home made plasma pistol over-
WHAT?! A WORKING FUCKING PLASMA PISTOL?!
HOLY VINEGAR-DIPPED GOAT NUTS!

Master of Orion, The Article About
I used to dream about Master of Orion. It was 1996, I was still a kid, and the idea of building an empire to span the galaxy was foremost in my mind pretty much all the time. A turn-based strategy game, this was for many years my favorite game of all time, but as its sequels arrived and tarnished my opinion of this game, my interest diminished. It came to my attention that whether you believe the first game or the second game is the best in the series is based entirely on which one you were introduced to first. I got into this game first, so it’s obviously better. It’s colorful, reeks thematically of 80s-era sci-fi, and the gameplay keeps relatively simple, sometimes to a fault. When my dad brought this game home for the first time, it kept him up until 5AM. It’s unfortunate that no one has followed up on Master of Orion properly, considering this game (or this kind of game) would be perfect for tablets. Ladies and gentlemen, this is the only article you will ever need to read about Master of Orion.

SOE Is Offering Incentives To Get Gamers To Return (When It’s Not Busted, Either)

Sony Online Entertainment, the PC version of Sony Computer Entertainment (the branch that runs PSN) realized on May 1 that it, too, had been hacked. This part, most of us know.

Game Review: Portal 2
Before it was hip, I was dying to get The Orange Box. Not because I hadn’t played Half-Life 2 (I had, and it is transcendental) but because of a quirky little addition named Portal, a first-person puzzle game assembled quickly by some recently hired college grads. Before people were keen to lies being equated to cake and so forth, a legit few and I were busting through a series of ever-challenging puzzles (in which we were required to think with portals) with the incredibly amusing GLaDOS (some distant relative of SHODAN) narrating our trip. Over three years later, the game has built a cult-like following and Valve thought it was well that we receive a sequel with a lot more content. Yahtzee asked, “is it better than Portal 1?” and replied with “No.” I’m inclined to agree.

Movie Review: The Frighteners (At Request!)
This review is at the special request of my good friend Juan, so if you have some special requests for movie/game/tech reviews, you let us know!
I didn’t get to see The Frighteners growing up. I was twelve when it released and it was an R-rated film, so that was an automatic ‘no way’ from the ‘rents. That’s all beside the point though, I didn’t even know the film existed until a few years later. As a result, I had absolutely no squishy, nostalgic feelings for it when I saw it for the first time just recently. The Frighteners is sorta like that intersecting section of a Venn diagram: it came at the end of our fascination with ghosts-and-haunted-houses (from Ghostbusters to Casper the year before) and was one of Peter Jackson’s early films, long before he was famous for The Lord of The Rings. The problem with this film is simple: I hate ghost-and-haunted-house films.
