Shamoozal.com NES Holiday Marathon

By  •  November 24, 2008

NATIONAL PARK, New Jersey – Shamoozal.com is proud to present the ‘NES Holiday Marathon’, a live 12 hour event to raise money for charity.

Beginning December 13th at 12PM EST, the Shamoozal staff will host a retro gaming themed event that will be streamed live through Ustream.tv. With a focus on variety of content, Shamoozal plans to shake-up the marathon scene by injecting different activities into their 12 hour schedule.

“No doubt about it, we’re going to be playing a ton of Nintendo games, but the focus is going to be less on the completion of these games and more about celebrating them.” says site owner Phil Summers. “On top of all the gaming, we’ll be offering different types of incentives to get people to donate their money to such a great cause.”

THQ Reports Fiscal 2009 Second Quarter Results, Reduces Fiscal 2009 Outlook and Announces Significant Business Realignment

By  •  November 5, 2008

AGOURA HILLS, Calif.–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Nov. 5, 2008–THQ Inc. (NASDAQ: THQI) today announced financial results for the fiscal second quarter ended September 30, 2008, reduced its financial outlook for the fiscal year ending March 31, 2009, and announced a significant business realignment.

Second Quarter Results

For the three months ended September 30, 2008, THQ reported net sales of $164.8 million, compared with $229.3 million in the prior year. On a non-GAAP basis, the company reported fiscal 2009 second quarter net sales of $151.6 million. Fiscal 2009 second quarter sales reflect a lighter new release schedule than the prior-year period, and included the international roll-out of games based on Disney/Pixar’s WALL-E and initial global shipments of new original Wii(TM) title de Blob(TM).

For the three months ended September 30, 2008, the company reported a net loss of $115.3 million, or $1.73 per share, which included a non-cash charge of $1.21 per share related to a valuation allowance and the related tax effects for its deferred tax assets. In the same period a year ago, the company reported a net loss of $7.0 million, or $0.11 per share. On a non-GAAP basis, the company reported a fiscal 2009 second quarter net loss of $30.4 million, or $0.46 per share. This was below the company’s previous guidance of a loss of $0.35 to $0.39 per share, primarily due to lower-than-anticipated international sales of WALL-E and higher-than-expected sales returns and allowances. In the same quarter a year ago, the company reported a non-GAAP net loss of $2.2 million, or $0.03 per share.
