Video Game Addiction Gone Awry

Some sort-of sad news today from Destructoid blog as it reports that a man killed his son over a missing video game. We don't know how much we can say about that other than that we believe part of the fun of gaming is the addiction and the mental challenge of repeated play. However, we do think that gaming in no way should interfere with any part of your life or stoke your other addictions.

So, kids, enjoy our gaming material over to the right here, but, please please try to get out into the fresh air and enjoy some sunlight.

And now for something on the lighter side:

In Honor of the Our Neighbors to the North

On this, their Thanksgiving Monday and in light of the recent mobile release of our own Decades, we bring you an article from Canada.com's tech section regarding the rapid-fire production of gaming that's being caused by the acquisition of mobile phones by almost every single individual in the first world, and some in the second. 


The piece illuminates how much mobile devices are doing to shape both the way the games are programmed and how many people and which or them are getting to do it. In the article's case a 19 year old both programs a game as a class assignment and well as comments the following: 

"A game's creativity used to depend on the hardware," said Ide, a 19-year-old computer programming student who is developing an iPhone game as part of his studies.

"A successful game now is one that's simple and reaches a wide network of people..."

We'd say that that's pretty right on and rather insightful for someone of that age. But, then again, if you check our article from last Thursday, you'll see that young gamers are the brains behind todays apps and consoles. Check out the full article on here and for those of you celebrating, mazel tov. Enjoy the Turkey!

A Bit More Uplifting (?) News Today

Following up on yesterdays rather droopy entry, today's two entries from Variety magazine's The Cut Scene gaming blog, seem to project a hopeful, and recession-unaffected, future for the gaming industry. Or not. 

Basically, there is first the news logged on the site last week announcing that visual marketing monolith 20th Century Fox (who are well-versed in marketing their own TV and film properties through video game licensing) is dipping its feet into the gaming pool by launching a full-scale gaming division. Appointed vice president of the new sector is former head of Vivendi Games Andre Emerson and it appears the studio will not continue to in-house their own licensed titles but also sire original titles. The move is basically in an effort to outrun the necessity to buy independent video game studios and thereby squeeze past that there is much less cash to throw around for such a venture. So, I guess as it goes, even in a recession, the rich just get richer. What will the decision of studios like Fox do to the little guys? That remains to be seen.
