THQ has been down on the mat of late. The game publisher recently laid off about 240 employees and completely exited the kids videogame market (a business that the company was originally built upon) as part of a restructuring. CEO Brian Farrell saw his salary cut from $718,500 to $359,250 as part of the changes. And the company faces delisting on NASDAQ if its stock doesn’t improve. But things are looking up for the game maker.
One of the franchises that THQ is focusing on moving forward is UFC. As Ultimate Fighting Championship has exploded into the mainstream over the past few years, THQ has been able to ride that success with four games. UFC Undisputed 3 is the latest offering, and it’s been receiving rave reviews from gaming sites (earning an 86 for Xbox 360 and 87 for PlayStation 3 on Metacritic.com).
And for good reason. The game offers more depth than ever before with over 150 fighters, including Mike “Quick” Swick (see video above). There’s a robust career mode that now allows fans to take their favorite fighters through an entire career. The addition of PRIDE fighting mode, a “no rules” Japanese league that no longer exists, has also been integrated into the game, and career mode. This allows current UFC fighters to battle PRIDE fighters during their heyday. Of course, there’s also an extremely detailed fighter-creation mode, which offers enough sliders to put any fan into the Octagon.
One of the things that stands out in UFC 3 is the new amateur control scheme, which was designed to allow those new to the sport an easy way to not only play, but learn about what they’re doing. With Fox broadcasting UFC fights live, more people are being exposed to MMA than any time before. THQ infused the new game with educational videos and gameplay elements, including a new graphics-based submission system that drastically improves the experience.
Whether you’re a veteran fighter (the original control scheme remains intact with additional advantages over the amateur game), or a newbie, it won’t take long to have fun playing this game. And along the way, you’ll learn the ins and outs of a full range of fighting styles. There are even real training camps and gyms like Greg Jackson’s in the game (see video below).
This is a win-win for THQ and for UFC. The more fans out there, the more games the company can sell. Just look at the success THQ has had with WWE games. Although UFC may not warrant a new game every year (UFC 3 has had a two-year development cycle), the game franchise is strong. Working hand-in-hand with UFC President Dana White and his team has paid off. THQ has delivered a knockout with this latest game, which bodes well for the future of this game publisher.
Not as much as I once thought.
Yup no market Monday. :(
Surf knows what he's talking about people. Load up Tuesday because it may be at its lowest level. I'm adding more that's for sure. Gonna be my best birthday present ever this march. IMO
I agree! We will be back over a dollar by next quarter and maybe $1.25+ by the end of the year IMO. GLTA
Agree 100%! Aern is my favorite stock because it's producing real oil and I have no doubt another big run is on the way soon like two days ago and this time I won't be so quick to pull the trigger. I'm still kicking myself for missing out on $2,000 I would have had if I had overlooked a dip and stayed 10 more minutes. Aern is real and if you don't believe it will hit .02 and higher soon then just sit back and watch it. Tuesday can't get here soon enough! Have a great weekend my friends.
Loaded up too on the way up!
What is happening????
I agree surf. Today was a bit disappointing after such an exciting day yesterday but the future looks very promising! I had my doubts months ago but after studying this company and learning from you and a few others I see the potential this company has and I'm in for the long term as well. I can see this hitting .05 this year!
I wish my funds from the sale yesterday had cleared so I could use them now. Great time to load up IMO. I'll be loading more tomorrow morning.
I believe it is! It's going to test yesterday's highs very soon and pass them I believe. JMHO
I've been watching Aern and investing for some time and if Surfkast says it's time to buy then IT"S TIME TO BUY!! He knows this stock better than any of us. I have to say I sold yesterday at .0110 and got back in this morning because I believe in this stock and surfkast. GLTA
And adding at every dip! ;)
Congrats surfkast and all on a tremendous day! Surf, you've been saying it for months now and it happened. Great job!
Your opinion and preference but I see things much differently. Guess we will see what the earnings show....
EH .0065 HOD!!
May see .0017 again like we did a few weeks ago when it went up 1,600%!
CYOS CYOS CYOS is doing it again!! ALL ABOARD! TRIPLED in two days!
Pulse Secures Large Four State Midwest Convenience Store Distributor

The Pulse Beverage Corporation ("Pulse") (OTCBB: PLSB), makers of Cabana(TM) 100% Natural Lemonade and Pulse(R) brand of NutriPurpose(TM) beverages, today announced it has secured a large regional convenience store distributor for four Midwest states, Saint Joe Distributing.
Saint Joe Distributing ("Saint Joe"), based out of St. Joseph, Missouri, began operating in 1949, providing full service convenience store ("C-store") distribution in the four midwestern states of Missouri, Kansas, Iowa and Nebraska, through four regional depots. Saint Joe has a state-of-the-art, fully-automated warehouse distribution system with 340,000 cubic sq ft of frozen and cooled warehouse. Chuck Robertson, Operations Manager for Saint Joe, commented, "We look forward to the addition of Pulse's Cabana (TM) 100% Natural Lemonades. With the ever-evolving beverage market and the lemonade category moving toward all-natural, health and wellness, Cabana(TM) will definitely give us a strong foothold on lemonade sales through our C-store customers."
Paddy Sheya, Pulse's National Sales Manager, said, "We are very excited to have secured Saint Joe as our C-Store distributor in the states of Missouri, Kansas, Iowa and Nebraska. Saint Joe provides excellent service to the C-Store sector covering a major portion of the midwestern market for over 60 years. Saint Joe's C-store distribution system fits well with our soon to be announced Midwest supermarket distribution and, additionally, our flagship product, Pulse(R) NutriPurpose, which we plan to red carpet introduce in the next couple of months."
Details of the Company's business and agreements can be found as part of the Company's continuous public disclosure as a reporting issuer under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission's ("SEC") EDGAR database.
I just decided to call a toot'n totum store in Amarillo, tx to verify they sell Cabana Lemonade and the clerk said and I quote 'yes sir we do and they are selling like hot cakes! We just got them in not long ago and they are good!'. I feel much much better having talked to an actual person who sells these drinks! I think I'm gonna load up more tomorrow!
Yes it would be nice indeed!
Surf and hyrpowr, you two will be my new best friends if Stan reports revenue coming in from these wells by wed. Haha
That's your opinion and I agree one of the four stores in the 11 mile stretch I drive each day has crappy management too but that's not fair to judge them all for a few bad ones.
Come on Stan! We are ready for ya to make our day! We are less than 48 hours from black gold and green money!

GLTA this week! I'm feeling good about what's to come to AERN by Wednesday and I think Surfkast will be sitting back smiling saying 'I told ya so!' haha. It's going to be a good week.
I hope either of you are right!
And your reasoning behind that statement is? DG is rocking walmarts world by providing new stores all over the country where you can run in and run out without having to run all over a 80,000 sq ft building. DG is going to show some great earnings in a couple of weeks! Good time to buy!
Well forget what Cramer said. I'm in at $21.88. Let's bounce baby! ALL ABOARD!!
I've been riding this puppy and reading along with you guys for some time now adding a little here and a little there. I have more invested in aern then any of my other stocks and I hope in a week or two we will all be 'aern'ing tons of money from some great financial reports due! GLTA
Cramer just said you messed up. Not sure tho. Gotta admit I thought about loading up on it too but they have to restate their fiscal year results for the past two years due to major errors in their accounting dept. think I'll wait a few days and watch. GLTA
Don't you know that poor guy who sold the million shares at .905 is kicking himself harder now? It appears it's bottomed and headed back up. Good luck to you all!
Everyone,
to all our new subscribers, welcome.
NSRS opened up steeply lower this morning. The shorts must be happy as their wish just came true. It is important however to remember that this exact same scenario happened to NSRS just two weeks ago.
It had lost nearly 50% in a single day, but we all know what happened after that. It came right back to life hitting almost $2.
This might be the next retraction before the big run up to multi dollars. Two weeks ago everyone who stayed calmed. Held their shares, and even those who bought much more at the low levels ended up making a small fortune just 24-48 hours later.
Only weak hands got shaken off, but the clever ones prevailed. We must remember that NSRS is still rated a "STRONG BUY" now by iri with a $5 target.
We must also remember that its projects still contain gold, and that they just announced the silver results this morning for Nevada.
The videos also show us that everything is real over there, and that the company is very transparent with us.
Moral of the story is to stay calm. Weather the storm, and be happy in a few days!
Happy Trading!
Your PennyStocksUniverse Editor.
Exactly! I'd love to double and get out. I'm not sure I'd have the guys to let it double before I pulled the plug tho. I'm happy with 50% increase. :)
