Video - Hack - Wii Fit hacked to work with World of Warcraft - Image 1Now we've seen several homebrew applications come out that pairs up PCs and Wiimotes, but here's one that uses the Wii Balance Board. Two grad students traverse World of Warcraft's Azeroth using the Board. Now that's something that can really catch on. Watch a video of the Board in action in the full article.

The God of War II minigame - Image 1Given the recent spread of the God of War II sex mini-game video and the probability that you're reading this after however way you managed to celebrate Valentines, now seems to be a good time to try to see how sex is included in our favorite pastime: videogames.

This article will look at the many ways game developers, and sometimes even players, translate/insert all things pheromone/hormone-induced into pixels seen on our monitors. We'll try to see why it's there and why gags like "hot coffee" are an inevitability.

If you're a puritanical prude, now would be a nice time to skip over this article. That aside, on to the big question: Why, oh why is there so much sex in videogames?

Get the rest of the article after the Jump!

We're thinking that perhaps the WoW addict that showed up on Tyra banks show should've watched this YouTube video by wynoUBC. We present to you, our dear readers, Treatises on Curing Video Game Addictions:


Now we're not quite sure about the effectiveness of using Wax strips to re-program victims of scientifically recognized mental disorders, and cure relationships torn by the time-warp that is Azeroth, but it damn sure looks funny.

We're also not sure if the Mario-hair-cut solution would work with QJ's resident Ninty expert/affictionado/DS lite hog (his head's already shaved).

Regardless, a lot of this is good stuff. Feel free to try this out on your friends. Just be aware that they might retaliate. Moreover, keep it safe folks, we don't want any video game related incidents happening.

Yes, I know that you hardcore console folks (I'm looking at you, PSPeeps!) hate seeing this sort of stuff on your blogs, but I'm giving you warning - there's a shameless plug ahead! But we gotta get the word out on two of our newest blogs - and not just any blogs, our first game specific blogs! We all know that MMORPG's are big, and it's the nature of an online beast to have lots of news, updates, patches, mods and upgrades to talk about. These new blogs have been lurking around the QJ network all this week, but it's time to give them the proper introduction they deserve.

QJ's World of Warcraft Blog

Okay, so that one doesn't need much of an introduction. Everyone's heard of a little game called World of Warcraft, right? Yeah, I thought so. It is the MMORPG of our times with millions upon millions of players wandering through the world of Azeroth every single minute of every single day. And that's just the beginning. With the upcoming release of the Burning Crusade expansion, things are about to get even bigger. So it's a perfect time to launch our own WoW blog to keep everyone on top of every single bit of info out there! There's no stopping World of Warcraft from dominating the globe...

QJ's Tabula Rasa Blog

...or is there? You see, there's this little gem of a game that's been in the works for over 4 years from the fine folks at NCSoft and Destination Games. At the helm is Ultima Online">Richard Garriott aka Lord British, the mastermind behind the grand-daddy of modern MMORPG's - Ultima Online. With experience and an award winning art team on their side, Tabula Rasa hopes to wipe the slate clean and knock WoW off its high horse. With a unique crossbreeding of 3rd person RPG action with alien-blasting FPS controls and tactics, it might do just that.

TR will soon be hitting the beta stage, and we here at QJ want to be in on the ground floor of what will most likely be the next big thing in the MMORPG universe. This is the place to be if you want to keep up on all the latest news, art renders, screenshots, and developments.

So there you have it - two new blogs to check out, with some pretty snazzy sneak peaks and exclusive content on the way. And a third new blog isn't far behind, and hopefully it will fill the obvious hole in the QJ Network when it comes to gaming news!
