THQ might be in financial trouble
Many stories about it on the web:

Some are saying THQ will be the next Midway. Anyone think it might be true, or is it just exaggeration?

The entertainment industry is notoriously resistant to recessions. Just ask Ozymandias.

That's what they get for producing countless movie-tie-ins. Don't get me started on tie-ins.

No, thats what they get for not being EA.

Re: THQ might be in financial trouble
I think Squenix is publishing SupCom2 oddly enough.
17:37:02   Quanto: I want to have sexual intercourse with every space elf in existence
17:37:11   SpardaSon21: even the males?
17:37:22   Quanto: its not gay if its an elf

[21:51] <@Droid803> I now realize
[21:51] <@Droid803> this will be SLIIIIIGHTLY awkward
[21:51] <@Droid803> as this rich psychic girl will now be tsundere for a loli.
[21:51] <@Droid803> OH WELLL.

See what you're missing in #WoD and #Fsquest?

[07:57:32] <Caiaphas> inspired by HerraTohtori i built a supermaneuverable plane in ksp
[07:57:43] <Caiaphas> i just killed my pilots with a high-g maneuver
[07:58:19] <Caiaphas> apparently people can't take 20 gees for 5 continuous seconds
[08:00:11] <Caiaphas> the plane however performed admirably, and only crashed because it no longer had any guidance systems

What the Christ? If I end up playing a product where men are women and the women are weak-willed piles of latent lesbian angst, please God kill me.

Boystrous 19 year old temp at work slapped me in the face with an envelope and laughed it off as playful. So I shoved him over a desk and laughed it off as playful. It's on camera so I can plead reasonable force.  Temp is now passive.
