A young documentarian explores the depths of game addiction in a student film.
We’re all avid gamers. I think that’s safe to say, since we’re all here either writing or reading about games. However, there’s a thin line between being passionate about a subject and being completely obsessed. Game addiction is a very real problem for thousands, if not millions of people. In my days of WoW raiding, it wasn’t uncommon to hear stories of abandoned wives, lost jobs and other nasty consequences of being unable to pull oneself away from the screen.
Anthony Rosner, a third-year student at University of Central Arkansas, decided to plunge headlong into the world of game addiction with his short film, IRL. The movie focuses on World of Warcraft, but gamers of all varieties will likely find something with which to identify.
If you have about ten minutes to kill, the movie is definitely worth a look:
If anything, IRL provides us with an opportunity to discuss the perils of game addiction. When do you think passion crosses over into addiction? Have you ever had to forcefully pull yourself or a friend out of a game?
Let us know in the comments.

Ó

There’s no retail version of Bastion, but that doesn’t stop the developer from getting a copy to an American soldier.
Here’s your heartwarming video game story for the week: Reddit user bolivar-shagnasty (nice name) is currently deployed in Afghanistan. He’s a gamer, but thanks to the slow web connection in his location, he doesn’t have access to some of the cool downloadable games we take for granted. He found out about Bastion through reviews, but was unable to download it thanks to the terribad web connection.
So, he did the next logical thing – he contacted SuperGiant to find out if they would ever drop an on-disc version of Bastion. Greg Kasavin, writer and designer for the title, responded that while there were no plans for a retail release, he might be able to work something out for such a special circumstance.
A few weeks after the conversation, bolivar received a disc version of Bastion as well as some extra goodies. Essentially, the good folks over at SuperGiant built a one-time only retail copy of their game to get it to a soldier without access.
It’s really cool to see a developer go out of its way to bring a game to players. SuperGiant gets a big salute from us at QJ for putting in the extra effort. Nice work, guys.

Posted Jan 25, 2012 at 3:30PM EST by Listed in: PS3 Tags: saints row the third, THQ
Ó

THQ hasn’t been doing great over the last few months, and this nasty letter from a former employee doesn’t make things look any better.
THQ, the company behind Saints Row: The Third, had a tough 2011. The company was in such dire straits that rumors floated around about it canceling its entire 2014 lineup, rumors the company vehemently denied. This morning we received word that THQ was shifting its strategies yet again, this time focusing more on its core franchises over third party licensing.
It’s hard to get a bead on exactly what’s happening with THQ. Rumors and sales indicate the company is in serious trouble despite the success of Saints Row, but the company refuses to admit that they have any sort of problem. Only one person seems to be willing to comment on the state of the company – an alleged former employee with an obvious bone to pick.
In a letter written to THQ’s Board of Directors, CEO Brian Farrell as well as the general public and a collection of gaming news sites, this “Formerly Mismanaged” employee rattles off a laundry lists of complaints about the company.
The letter essentially claims that THQ’s problems stem from mismanagement and a Board of Directors that has no clue how to strategically run a gaming company. It gives examples like acquiring game studios with no plan on how to utilize their talents (then later shutting them down), investing money into shrinking niche markets, the company’s refusal to dump a CEO that has tanked its stock price and high-paid executives making enormous mistakes that call their competency into question. The disastrous uDraw tablet also makes an appearance.
These allegations of management incompetency surface just a few days before THQ announces its current financial standing on February 2, and things certainly don’t look good. One analyst has gone on the record by stating that THQ, without some sort of financial windfall, with run out of cash near the middle of this year.
You can read the letter in its (extremely long) entirety below:
[JoyStiq]
"To:
THQ Board of Directors
Lawrence Burstein
James Whims, Gigex, Inc.
Henry DeNero, Arcturus Capital
Brian Dougherty, AirSet, Inc.
Jeffrey Griffiths , Lumber Liquidators
From:
Current and Ex-Employees, Shareholders, and The Public
Dear THQ Board,
I am an ex-employee at THQ. I saw the tweet-started headlines over the past week from an "industry expert." This expert is one who I and my friends and co-workers in the industry have never heard of after a long time in the field. I had been reading the various following articles and accounts and it generated sympathy for friends both recently laid off and currently still there. I thought it would be a good idea to send a note with their input. This note has honest facts and thoughts about THQ and the current problems there. Most of these facts are public knowledge and they have been confirmed by public records or can be confirmed by current and former THQ staff there both before and after my and their time.
I have long felt the need to explain to outsiders how this beaten-down company has wound up in this position. It is to the point where having it on your resume is not a point in your favor. And that shouldn't be the case. I'm/We're sending this note anonymously because some of us are still awaiting final checks and others know how little corporations like employees who air their dirty laundry. We feel the need to say something to combat the partial misinformation being written.
THQ had been known through the years for having a formula. They find a hot license, make a cheap game, barely advertise it, and make money. This formula worked during the Playstation and Xbox and Gameboy days and made the company a lot of cash. Unfortunately, THQ's old guard executives seem to be stuck trying to manage the company the same way they did back then and haven't realized the industry has changed.
The beginning of the end came years ago as Brian Farrell lead an executive team to acquire a large number of studios. A large amount of cash was used in the acquisition or setup of game developers with different degrees of talent. The problem was they were bought without strategic reasoning or specific plan on to use them. So after awhile another large amount of money was spent as those studios failed and were sold off and shut down. The executive team at the time were an entirely different group of people with one key exception in the CEO. The CEO/the then executive team wasted the cash that the company had built up with these massive investments and selloffs.
The studio purchase errors were not helped by the mistakes in the licensing deals that were signed by the same CEO. Millions and millions of dollars were wasted on acquiring licenses at the same time the kids, family, casual business was declining at a rapid rate. Instead of slowing those acquisitions he overpaid for more of them until again cash was wasted in paying for brands that didn't sell well anymore.
The mistakes in decisions and cash losses triggered wave after wave of layoffs. In the most recent wave, about 40 people lost their jobs this past December through no fault of their own. The reason why is the chronic and constant mismanagement of their company. The fact is that the CEO and executive committee were so focused on trying to hit an unrealistic financial goal that they bet everything on an extremely risky proposition in the uDraw tablet. When they lost, they further displayed their lack of management skills by not having a contingency plan. Three weeks after the game launched, an entire business unit was wiped out when it didn't meet its goal due to relying on that one product to hit an unrealistic target.
After the layoffs many ex-employees walked around shell-shocked and trying to figure out who was responsible. They came to the understanding that most of us do after leaving the company. The issue with THQ has never been one of lack of staff creativity, intellect or business intelligence. It all rests of the failure of its management team and you the Board of Directors.
This Board has allowed the Brian Farrell, the CEO, the ongoing ability to take a cash-rich profitable company and drive it from a $30 share price down to around $.70 without acting despite numerous mistakes that even for those lacking business training, could see were errors. Even without glaring mistakes how can the same CEO stay in charge after a 99% share price loss? Aside from the board, who is responsible for the current situation and who is accountable for the current and future job losses at the company? When you ask the recently departed who are a good source of information, you get the same answers. This uDraw failure is the largest and most recent one in a string of them that were hushed over and hidden. The answer aside from the Board is the current executive team that allowed this uDraw implosion to happen.
Brian Farrell, CEO with a 2011 salary of $1,289,558, for a lack of business intelligence or fiscal accountability. A vocal inside group pointed out the mistake of trying to launch a year-old product that received almost no software support in the last 12 months. Instead of listening and having a back-up plan, he went ahead and invested a ridiculous amount of money in the manufacturing and advertising of the product and failed miserably. It is passed time for him to go. We are wondering what is taking so long for you to act. We have been wondering this same question for a long time.
Martin Good, EVP and head of Kids, Family, Casual with a 2011 salary of $1,198,023, for bringing no strategic thought or business sense to the role. He was brought out from Australia sales to replace an outgoing head of the business unit and rapidly displayed a complete lack of leadership skills, vision, and any sort of analytical sense. Looking at his compensation package, he is an excellent negotiator as his salary is higher than anyone's except for the CEO. On the plus side he lost his job with the rest of those laid off. On the minus side, he will be floating down on a golden parachute while the rest of the former employees scramble to look for jobs in this challenging environment. Most of those jobs will be at studios in other parts of the country, so they will be forced to relocate their families in the middle of their childrens school years. It is incredible that he made this level of income while doing such a poor job, but it serves as a reflection of the lack of Brian Farrell's ability to staff well and manage.
Paul Pucino, CFO with a 2011 salary of $674,855, for not planning for this possibility and having a safety net or a plan to cover THQ just in case of failure. We have a line of credit that we likely used to buy the plastic that is not selling to customers. It is like taking a cash advance to buy THQ stock and just as worthless of an investment. Paul is known as an absentee executive who is missing when business situations gets complicated. While he was in the loop at the point of the risk, with the following failure he has been clearly unavailable. It is another example of Brian Farrell's inability to staff.
Ian Curran, EVP and head of global publishing with a 2011 salary of $1,037,047, for not flagging an unrealistic sales goal to the CEO or the Board when a big part of the corporation felt the numbers were unrealistic. He blindly held up an unachievable target and didn't act when multiple people told him he was aiming to high and out of step with the marketplace. If a sales executive's job is to anticipate the market, he has done a poor job of it. Another example of Brian Farrell not being able to find the right people for the right job.
Ed Kauffman, EVP of Legal and Business Affairs who clearly was signing bad deals on licensed products, not factoring in the changes in the business and being more critical with financial terms with partners. uDraw by itself cannot possibly explain the companies poor financial health. It is a combination of that product and a string of bad licensed deals that the company took on against better judgement. While Brain Farrell would logically be the final decisionmaker for deals, Kauffman is either unpersuasive in his arguments to not do them or supported them. Either situation equates to another example of poor staffing choices by the CEO.
uDraw was failure and the only people to blame are the people listed above. THQ and its current financial situation is also their responsibility. And they were paid around $4.5 million dollars for their poor decisions. If there is any doubt we would recommend talking to current and former staff to get the straight story. Don't read this note as bitterness on their part, but more as long overdue truth.
So, Board, it is time. Passed time for you to act and passed time for you to do something about the mismanagement that has gone on for too many years. We've watched the stock from the outside and read the comments and the reason why the company is valued so low despite its sales is because of this underqualified management team.
Board it is time for you to act before your names are added to the list above of things that must change.
Sincerely,
The Formerly Mismanaged"

Want to know what games are hitting shelves with the Vita when it drops here in the U.S.? Check out our list!
Today has been an interesting day for Vita news. First, we got an idea of how expensive the device’s memory cards were actually going to be (read: not very). Now, we have a confirmed and official list of every game that will be available at launch. And the list is pretty long, especially when compared to some other launches.
Some of the games are likely not going to be great, but the presence of Uncharted and Hot Shots Golf are enough to ensure Sony sells at least a few thousand devices. And hey, who doesn’t love Katamari?
Here’s your launch list:
SCEA Launch Day Titles
Escape Plan (PSN Only)
Hot Shots Golf: World Invitational
Hustle Kings (PSN Only)

Square Enix’s follow up to the maligned Final Fantasy XIII is off to a strong start in Japan. Duh.
If there’s one thing Japan loves, it’s Final Fantasy. So it’s not entirely surprising that Final Fantasy XIII-2, which launched earlier this week for Japanese gamers, has already rocketed to the top of the sales charts. The game moved 500,000 copies in its first week of release, toppling Monster Hunter 3G from the top of the charts and renewing confidence in the Final Fantasy brand.
Of course, Japanese sales trends aren’t always indicative of western performance (as I said, Monster Hunter was #1 until this happened), but it’s definitely good news for Square Enix that their hardcore fan base wasn’t so upset with FFXIII that they abandoned the brand entirely. The actual sales figure, around 525,000, accounts only for PS3 versions of the game.
Some Vita titles also managed to make the list, a good sign for the fledgling handheld. Here’s the top 20, for those of you that like tracking Japanese game sales:
01. [PS3] Final Fantasy XIII-2 (Square Enix, 12/15): 525,271
02. [3DS] Monster Hunter 3G (Capcom, 12/10): 208,427 (730,386)
03. [3DS] Mario Kart 7 (Nintendo, 12/01): 182,418 (789,871)
04. [3DS] Inazuma Eleven Go (Level-5, 12/15): 135,259
05. [3DS] Super Mario 3D Land (Nintendo, 11/03): 112,533 (837,143)
06. [WII] Kirby Wii (Nintendo, 10/27): 71,028 (398,516)
07. [PSV] Hot Shots Golf 6 (Sony, 12/17): 61,412
08. [PSV] Uncharted Golden Abyss (Sony, 12/17): 48,224
09. [WII] Just Dance Wii (Nintendo, 10/13): 44,021 (323,293)
10. [WII] Poke Park 2 (Pokemon, 11/12): 43,829 (164,018)
11. [WII] Wii Party (Pokemon, 07/08/10): 42,632 (2,129,236)
12. [NDS] Magician's Quest: The Merchant's Store of Sorcery (Konami, 12/10): 35,068 (81,110)
13. [WII] Mario & Sonic at London Olympics (Pokemon, 11/12): 34,351 (64,573)
14. [PS3] Shin Kamaitachi no Yoru (Chunsoft, 12/17): 33,686
15. [PS3] BlazBlue Continuum Shift Extend (Arc System Works, 12/17): 32,992
16. [WII] Wii Sports Resort (Nintendo, 11/11/10): 30,804 (734,046)
17. [WII] Taiko Drum Master Wii Ultimate Version (Namco Bandai, 11/23): 30,046 (100,284)
18. [PSV] Dynasty Warriors Next (Tecmo Koei, 12/17): 29,181
19. [PSV] Lord of Apocalypse (Square Enix, 12/17): 28,742
20. [NDS] One Piece Gigant Battle! 2 (Namco Bandai, 11/17): 28,406 (207,458)
Nintendo is clearly the king of the party in Japan, despite the temporary dominance of one game or another. In the meantime, we’ll just have to wait and see how FFXIII-2 is received here in the west. The previous game was the best selling in the history of the franchise, but also landed to lukewarm reviews.
How do you think FFXIII-2 will do when it’s released in the west? Also, don’t you just hate typing “FFXIII-2?”

Ó

The debate over a free internet is hitting a fever pitch, as the United States Congress draws closer to a vote.
If you’re not familiar with the Stop Online Piracy Act, you may want to check it out while you can. The bill is currently making its way through the United States government, and while it’s designed to stop piracy and hurt websites distributing other illegal content, it essentially gives the government the ability to block whatever sites it deems unfit or unsafe.
It sets a nasty precedent for government control over the web that could lead to censorship beyond simple piracy; under the current framework, gives the government the ability to determine what sites will or won’t be blocked. So, for example, imagine if the Occupy sites were shut down, or WikiLeaks had been shuttered away. Or, if a user posts illegal content into the comments section of your blog.
It’s not necessarily engineered for that intent, but it wouldn’t take much verbal wrangling to land there. And fans of a free and open web are vehemently opposed to the idea of any government controlling their access to game news, lolcats, and piles and piles of porn.
But big companies support the effort, and a recently-discovered document from the Global Intellectual IP Center shows quite a bit of support for Congress to introduce similar legislature (the document pre-dates the actual bill). Signatures on the document include Nintendo, Sony, and EA – all huge developers that would naturally want to protect their investments.
If you want to learn about SOPA, you can check out the full bill text here: Stop Online Piracy Act. You can also see some of the cool things sites are doing to raise awareness here: American Censorship
It’s easy to see both sides of the argument here – what do you think the government’s role on the web should be?

But before you get too comfortable, it’s time to take note of even more games heading your way in this ridiculous 2011 holiday season. Next week we’ll visit a few old friends, including a sneaky assassin and plucky plumber. Also, you’ll get to hit people with a dildo.

Did I see a PS2 game in there? I guess people still have those, but I didn’t think game developers were spending any time on the platform.
So what’s your poison this week? I’m not buying anything, since I’ll be buried in Skyrim. But, if I had to choose, I think I’d go with Assassin’s Creed.

The cute and cuddly Guardian Cub gives World of Warcraft players a somewhat safe method for turning real dollars into digital gold, but may not be the gold-farmer takedown many are imagining.
For years, World of Warcraft players interested in skipping nasty grinds or boring resource farming turned to the billion-dollar black market that is digital currency sales. For just a few of your hard-earned real life dollars, you could buy a nice pile of gold to use for item upgrades, rare recipes and, most commonly, your epic flying skill.
What many gold buyers didn’t realize is that the gold they purchased didn’t necessarily come from farmers, but game from the hacked accounts of their fellow gamers. Gold buying is the leading cause of account theft in WoW, as gold sellers strip as many accounts as they can to keep up with demand. Now, Blizzard seems to have made it easier and safer for you to use your actual money to buy fake money, via the in-game Guardian Cub pet.
Here’s how it works – you, the player, want to earn some extra gold. You purchase a couple of these Guardian Cubs for $10, then you put them up on the auction house. While you can’t sell the pet immediately, it is bind-on-equip and once the initial cooldown expires you are free to trade it however you see fit. A player with gold to burn then purchases the pet, giving you in-game money for your real-life purchase.
Blizzard even confirmed this as a possible use:
“While our goal is to offer players alternative ways to add a Pet Store pet to their collection, we’re ok with it if some players choose to use the Guardian Cub as a safe and secure way to try to acquire a little extra in-game gold without turning to third-party gold-selling services.”
It’s an interesting strategy, and one that has worked well in EVE (where players sell game time for currency). However, it’s worth noting that the auction house is a buyer’s market – if a large number of players are trying to make gold by selling Guardian Cubs, the eventual price drop may still make Chinese gold farming operations a more lucrative investment for your character.
We’lll just have to wait and see how this impacts the economy and gold buying market. What do you think of this new method for earning World of Warcraft gold?

A fully-grown, presumably adult man tracks down a kid that insulted him over the Internet and tries to choke him to death. Is this the state of gaming today?
Everyone that plays online games, at some point, has wanted to punch, choke, shove or generally harm another player for something that happened in the game. Whether it’s the jerk in “Modern Warfare 2” running around at super-speed with an eighteen-foot stabbing range or the guy in your “World of Warcraft” party that rolls need on everything and hearths out (ah, the old days), it’s only common to experience some sort of frustration with the idiots that often play games.
Mark Bradford, a 46-year-old man, apparently felt the same way while playing “Call of Duty: Black Ops,” and decided to do something about it. After being repeatedly killed, camped, and mocked by a 13-year-old COD player (aren’t they all), Bradford somehow managed to track the kid down and confront him in person. Bradford’s strategy for teaching the kid a lesson? Strangulation, of course!
The whole thing was broken up by the kid’s mom and Bradford has apparently admitted to one count of assault, though this whole thing happened in the U.K. so I’m not really sure if that’s a big deal or not. What I do know is that it’s absolutely ridiculous to try and hurt another person because you’re frustrated by a game. While Joystiq appears to be gleefully celebrating a story of an internet jerk getting his comeuppance, they’re seriously overlooking the dangers such a precedent sets.
We’ve seen people get stabbed because of “Counter Strike” arguments. Now we’ve seen someone who should be mature enough to turn off the game and take a walk opt instead to assault a child. I understand that games make you mad sometimes, but there is absolutely no excusable reason to try and strangle a human being that’s 33 years your junior.
Mark Bradford, and the gaming community that seems to support his actions, need to grow up.

Wii homebrew game developer HunterZ brings us a revival of Crack dot Com's 1995 game, Abuse. The 2D side-scrolling platform title brings us a dark adventure, ironically set against the backdrop of "beautiful lighting, realistic animation" and, not so ironically, "nasty alien-like creatures to destroy."
The Wii port of course had to adopt console-specific adjustments to cater to the Wii's technology. There are a couple of ways to install Abuse Wii on your console: by SD/USB or via Dolphin 3.0.
By Wii:
Abuse Wii can run from either SD or USB. Just copy the abuse folder to /apps/, and the game will detect the game path by determining where boot.dol was launched from. Note that the data/ subfolder must be present for the game to work, and the save/ subfolder must be present if you want to allow settings and saved game files to be created.
After installing on the Wii, the Abuse icon should show up under the Homebrew Channel. Just click it and select Load.
By Dolphin 3.0:
Abuse Wii can also run under Dolphin 3.0, although it doesn't seem to run very well. In order to do this, you must first run the emulator once to create User/Wii/sd.raw. Then, close Dolphin and use a tool like Winimage to inject an /apps/ folder and a copy of the abuse/ folder tree inside of that.
Running
After installing to User/Wii/sd.raw, select Config->Wii->Insert SD Card and Graphics->External Frame Buffer->Real. Then, select Open and browse to a copy of the game's boot.dol file. Finally, select Play to run the game.
For the controls:
Abuse was originally designed for keyboard + mouse on the PC. For the Wii port, these have been replaced with Nunchuk (or Classic Controller Pro held in left hand) + Wiimote.
For more of the instructions, follow the source link below.

When the PlayStation Vita arrives in Japan this December, it will be backed up by 26 strong titles that spans different genres to cater to a wide range of taste. But is it enough to make the system succesful or still lacks the punch?

Virtua Fighter 5 is coming to the PlayStation Network and Xbox Live in a big way! Sega's confirmed that the standalone game called Final Showdown will be available on the two consoles' online services come next summer.
Yes, it's Vritua Fighter 5, but this time, it's Virtua Fighter 5: Final Showdown, featuring a "massive overhaul" from when it first released back in 2007.
Said Haruki Satomi, Sega West's VP for the digital business arm, "Virtua Fighter 5 has always been an authentic arcade fighter, even when played from the comfort of a home console. And, like any proper arcade dynasty, we've continued to support, expand and tweak the game in the years since its release."
With this revamped version of the game, Sega is aiming to "bring the ultimate expression of competitive one-on-one gaming to console players in one perfect package."
They did not specify when exactly next summer will Final Showdown be making its final touchdown, but we'll be sure to keep you posted.
