Well folks, the time has finally come to “Take Earth back.” And you can bet we here at QJ will spend most of next week (and the week after) doing just that. However, just because Bioware’s epic conclusion to the Commander Shepard storyline drops on Tuesday doesn’t mean it’s the only game in the known universe. Other games are coming out as well.
Don’t believe us? Then you should check out this week’s:

Spoiler alert: it’s going to be shitty.
Hey, remember that Twisted Metal movie that no one wanted, ever? Well, it’s finally coming out! Sony Pictures just tapped Brian Taylor, the mastermind behind film classics such as Crank and Ghost Rider: Spirit of Vengeance, to direct a film based on the Twisted Metal franchise. It’s a good choice from a studio perspective – there’s no one better at making smash and crash movies with little to no substance.
According to the announcement, the film will center on combatants who use customized vehicles in fights to the death. So the original subject matter appears to have remained intact. Sweet Tooth and Doll Face will appear in the film, and that’s about all the details we have. Based on what we know about the genre, we can assume there will be one hot chick, one tough chick (played by Michelle Rodriguez, who dies), and a winning hero.
Honestly, how much do we need to know about a Twisted Metal movie? It’s going to be violent, poorly acted, and probably set to Skrillex music. And I’m sort of okay with that. It’s not like the games are some sort of bastion of innovative storytelling.
Do you think a Twisted Metal movie has any chance of being good? Or is it destined to join Super Mario Bros. and Doom in the Video Game Movie Hall of Shame?

Paul Christoforo holding social media accounts hostage
Ocean Marketing still lost at sea
The tale of Paul Christoforo will go down in history as a tragic tale of one man who said the wrong thing, at the wrong place
at the wrong time. I recently read an interview with the man himself on GameRanx and the guy has a lot of deep-seeded
personal issues and it looks like now those issues are more public than ever. Whilst the interview was meant to be revealing
and honest, it seems Paul has been anything but, as his actions have taken the world by storm, yet again, as he holds the
twitter and main website hostage.
Paul was let go from the company and has since been replaced with Moisés Chiullan. Chiullan is slowly picking up the peces
from N-Control's PR Nightmare and has gone into damage control including a complete corporate disowning of Christoforo and
his efforts, including a wonderful quote ending with the fact there "isn't a bus big enough for me to throw Paul Christoforo
under"
Chiullan then went to Twitter to answer people's questions about the current situation. Chiullan then followed it up by
setting up a Reddit AMA to directly respond to all the big questions and revealed that Mr. Christoforo isn't finished making
the guys at N-Control a living hell. See, as it turns out, the man is trying to commit extortion and gain a little profit
from the ordeal.
Chiullan tweeted out that Christoforo was holding N-Control's email, Twitter and Facebook accounts hostage. One of the first
questions asked in the AMA was how this could happen. Chiullan's answer was that he has "been trying to get him to give up
the access." Chiullan insists that he's been asking nicely for a couple of days but "the gloves are off now."
Paul told Chiullan via phone that "Eight months ago, I locked down all this stuff so they wouldn't be able to fuck with me.
If they don't give me what I want, it's war." Paul doesn't really want money but demands include a contract written on his
terms and substantial compensation, both immediate and for as long term, basically tll the company implodes due to Paul being
an unstable coworker. It's almost as though he's trying to pull a Fight Club and going about it in the worst way possible.
Paul even, flaunted the PR debacle he created as proof that he "made the company a success", citing all the media and public
attention as the "best thing that ever happened to Avenger".
Paul didn't count on the fact that Chiullan had anticipated all of these comments and issues and has been working on computer
hardware and web tech since I was 14. Chiullan did have control over the AvengerController.com domain. It was transferred
away from its original account, which Paul had complete control of. Because of how GoDaddy works, that old account retained
all of the email addresses and their master control settings (forwarding and so on) and N-Control not supporting SOPA, left
the GoDaddy account and Paul in the dust. Paul even continued to respond to customer emails from his personal GMail account
and lied to Moisés repeatedly about that fact.
Chiullan played it nice, and Paul played it stupid, acting like he didn't have full access to the master account, blaming his
"Indian outsourced tech team" being on vacation. Chiullan gave Paul an ultimatum: Paul was given two days to give over N-
Control's digital property.
Moisés closed the statement saying "He finally leveled with me tonight that he knew I wasn't that stupid and that he was
lying about his access to all these accounts. That's when he issued the above-mentioned threat. He reiterated that he had the
hosting, email, and everything on lockdown," which is simply not true.
The entire saga has played out for the entire world to see and everyone is far ahead Paul in the most darkest ways possible.
Where he will go, nobody knows but sadly, I wouldn't rule out suicide for the most feeblest of hearts.

Humble Bundle 4 breaks over two million dollars for charity
11 Games and two weeks later...amazing things can happen.
At 2,327,519 and 82 cents, Humble Bundle 4 has been the best selling bundle of all time. That's 435,243 bundles sold in just a matter of weeks and it has been amazing for everyone.
Raising money for Child's Play and Red Cross, the Humble Bundle average was $5.45 by the end and prompted everyone to donate big over the Christmas season.
Gratuitous Space Battles, Cave Story+, Jamestown, Bit.Trip Runner, Super Meat Boy, Shank, Night Sky HD and also the games from Humble Bundle 3, including And Yet it Moves, Hammerfight, VVVVVV, Cogs and Crayon Physics Deluxe. The games were just coming left, right and centre and it just got more awesome from there.
And the soundtracks! All the soundtracks to all of the games were included as well. The thumping awesomeness of Super Meat
Boy to the progressive techno of Bit Trip Runner. This was the best bundle in the world and if you missed out, then too bad,
so sad. But it seems that for a while it wasn't going so great as due to the amount of Steam keys they had to give out, they
had to bump up the minimum price to $1, which was a shame, but probably what pushed the final total into the millions, in a
l wonderful way.

PS3 "Other OS" case thrown out of court.
Judge musn't be a Linux user.
Sony has gotten rid of a lot of features with the PS3. One of the first thing's to go was the backwards compatible feature which would allow users to play PS2 games, which struck a blow for almost all gamers who wanted to continue playing PS2 games. It was a strange move as every other next gen console had BC except Sony. However, this was sorely followed up with the removal of having another operating system on the PS3.
After the removal a class action lawsuit was started and
A judge dismissed all counts except one of the class-action suit protesting the Other OS removal.
Many people bought the PlayStation 3 believing they had the ability to use it however they wished. The option to install a different operating system on the computer - known as the "Other OS" option - enabled users to put Linux or some other open source OS on their PS 3 and basically have a cheap but powerful CPU and GPU combo. Even the U.S. military realized that stringing together PS3s could make you a cheap-ass super-computer. But in March 2010, Sony permanently removed the "Other OS" feature from all PS3s with a firmware update needed to access the PlayStation Network. California resident Anthony Ventura filed a class-action lawsuit stating that the removal was an "intentional disablement of the valuable functionalities originally advertised as available." Today, U.S. District Judge Richard Seeborg dismissed all but one of Ventura's claims.
Judge Seeborg upheld Sony's right to enforce the End User License Agreement or EULA all customers agreed to upon purchasing the PlayStation 3. "These contracts specifically provide PS3 purchasers with a license, not an ownership interest, in the software and in the use of the PSN, and provide that SCEA has the right to disable or alter software features or terminate or limit access to the PSN, including by issuing firmware updates," Sony said in its motion to dismiss the suit.
But the sticking point seems to be the access to the PlayStation Network, and other features. Judge Seebold made it clear that customers who bought the PS3 with the Other OS option enabled could still use the console as is, they just wouldn't be able to access Sony's network as well as play new games or Blu-Rays.
"All of the counts are based on plaintiffs' fundamental contention that it was wrongful for Sony to disable the Other OS feature, or, more precisely, [to force PS3 owners to decide between] permitting the Other OS feature to be disabled or forgoing their access to the PSN and any other benefits available through installing," wrote Seebold in the dismissal. "The flaw in plaintiffs' [argument] is that they are claiming rights not only with respect to the features of the PS3 product, but also to have ongoing access to an internet service offered by Sony, the PSN."
The plaintiffs maintain that firmware update 3.21 doesn't just forbid access to the PSN, but that the main functions of the console are no longer viable. To wit, if you didn't update, you could no longer play new games, play games online, play new Blu-Rays, or even play some older Blu-Rays. So choosing not to update and keep the "Other OS" option alive means that no new purchases are possible and the usefulness of the product is seriously restricted.
At least the judge wasn't completely heartless. "The dismay and frustration at least some PS3 owners likely experienced when Sony made the decision to limit access to the PSN service to those who were willing to disable the Other OS feature on their machines was no doubt genuine and understandable," he said, but unfortunately those emotions have no impact on the legal scope of things.
"As a matter of providing customer satisfaction and building loyalty, it may have been questionable. As a legal matter, however, plaintiffs have failed to allege facts or to articulate a theory on which Sony may be held liable."
Sorry, people. It looks like console manufacturers can change their products' capabilities after you purchase them with no penalty whatsoever.

The Aussie ratings board strikes again, blocking the game from release in Australia due to being unsuitable for minors.
Oh, Australia. Your ratings board, as we have discussed previously, is sort of a mess. Games and movies are rated on completely different scales, which results in some very weird happenings. One problem with the Aussie ratings system is that there’s no classification for games that are intended only for adults, meaning that Mature-type games can effectively be blocked from release in the country.
This is exactly what happened to Syndicate, which according to the ratings board was refused classification due to intense blood and gore. Because there’s no “grown-ups only,” rating in Australia, the game will not see an Aussie release unless it’s eventually accepted under the current classification system – despite the fact that the Aussie government is currently working on an R18+ rating.
The ratings board has banned a couple of high profile games over the last few years, most notably 2011’s Mortal Kombat and Fallout 3 (later accepted with edits). Other games, such as The Witcher 2, have come painfully close, requiring in-game changes to pass muster. There’s no word on whether EA will fight the decision or attempt to edit their game, but for now it looks like Aussie players may have to do without Syndicate.
What do you folks think of Australia’s games rating system? Dumb? Effective? Both?

Chris Avellone recently spoke with Industry Gamers about the current state of video games and where they are headed in terms of genre and gameplay. Avellone is a veteran, having worked on Planetscape:Torment, Fallout 2 and of course, Fallout New Vegas, Avellone knows how people play and yet seems that desiging for certain types of players can be frustrating.
Speaking with Industry Gamers he said that "the 'advances' have been more for player convenience - sometimes good, sometimes bad - in my opinion. Journals, quest compasses that point directly to the goal and show you the route, auto-maps, etc. are helpful; at the same time, I think it undermines the thrill of victory and discovery and a lot of what makes an RPG an RPG"
I've heard of the argument that over the past decade game designers have gotten soft on players and provide them with too much when it comes to games. I think Avellone is making a stance more on just the RPG genre itself rather than calling out flawed game design. Avellone was a lot more double-edged about the situation saying that in terms of non-interface elements he felt "the idea of morally grey choices and more focus on actions and consequences" have been great "for all RPG's."
In the past five years, RPG's have gotten a bit more sophisticated from the old Final Fantasy route of world ending, go help out. Avellone's own Planetscape Torment began to break the mould by introducing more of a grey system of good verus evil, rather than just fighting a big bad. There was another addition to Avellone enjoying new-gen RPG's with voice acting has really helped the RPG along well.
Avellone also talked about how the RPG genre is something that should really be added to gameplay more than just tacked on, for game's that do genre-bending. "Developers are seeing the worth in customization, levelling, dialogue, choice and reactivity and other elements that would normally be considered RPG mechanics and introducing them into multiple titles." Hopefully, Avellone will be working on the South Park game and making it worth it's weight in RPG gold.

A French court finally settles the Namco vs. CD Projekt distribution dispute, in Namco’s favor.
The legal battle between CD Projekt and Namco Bandai over the publishing rights to The Witcher 2 has been raging for the last few months, with Namco bringing suit against the developer for violating previous contractual agreements. Essentially, Namco Bandai secured the rights to publish the Xbox 360 version of The Witcher 2, and was surprised when CD Projekt later announced that the game would be published by THQ instead.
This is one of the primary reasons the Xbox 360 version of the game has yet to see a release – with no clear indicator of who the publisher was going to be, no one could really start printing discs. But the decision, handed down by a French court, officially awards distribution rights for western Europe, South and central America, and Asia-Pacific to Namco Bandai.
CD Projekt has 15 days to come up with a publishing agreement. If they fail to get it sorted out, they’ll be fined €15,000 for each day beyond the initial 15 days it takes to get it done. If you don’t live in Europe and you’re unfamiliar with the Euro/Dollar conversion, €15,000 is about a zillion American dollars.
CD Projekt has noted that they’re not very happy with the decision, but they don’t plan to fight it and are moving forward with the agreement. Look for The Witcher 2 on your Xbox 360 sometime in 2012, probably close to spring.
Is anyone even waiting for this game on the Xbox, or did people already play it on another platform?
