Horse Slaughter Ban Wins
The final vote on the Ensign/Byrd amendment was 68-29 in favor of ending horse slaughter by withholding funds for federal inspectors in horse slaughterhouses and at the borders! The House and Senate bills now go to committee to create a final law. Since we won by 2/3rds in both the House and Senate, and since the amendment to each bill was identical, the committee would have no grounds not to include it in the final budget. Since it is a budget bill it is only going to be in effect for one fiscal year beginning November 1, but we still have HR503 in the house which can be passed by next year to end the business for permanently!This victory is the direct result of hundreds of horse owners and lovers working tirelessly to get this issue in front of the public and to convince their representatives and senators to do the right thing.
GameZnFlix now live on 1UP Network
Rent now botton is now live. It's really kind of simple and hopefully effective. While gamers are browsing through reviews and previews on 1UP they are given an option to rent the game they are reading about by clicking on a "Rent Now" button which connects the reader to the GNFGames website where they are given the opportunity to become a member and rent the game. This should drive a lot of traffic to GNFGames.com and help to drive membership.
Nintendo Wii Shortages May Be Blessing In Disguise For Game Rental Firms, Says GameZnFlix CEO
12/15/2007 Franklin, KY – 12/15/07 -GameZnFlix, Inc. (OTCBB: GMFX), John Fleming, CEO of GameZnFlix, an online provider of video games and movies for rent or purchase, said today that unfilled demand for the Wii Video Game Console may result in increased business for the game rental industry.“The Wii is the hot ticket this Christmas and they’re just not out there to be had,” saidFleming. “It looks like a replay of Christmas 2006 when the Wii was commanding big premiums on Ebay while last minute shoppers were lining up at Gamestop or Best Buy and too often leaving empty-handed.” “My guess is that those who have their heart set on a Wii aren’t going to look instead to the XBox 360 or Playstation 3 which can cost double the price of a Wii or more,” Fleming continued. “They’re just different markets, and nobody’s going to want to invest in more games for their 1st gen Xbox or Playstation 2. What does make sense for them is to turn to a video game rental program while Wii supply catches up with Wii demand. It’s the perfect solution.”Industry sources say that Nintendo is leaving as much as a billion dollars on the table this season by not having enough consoles to meet demand. That equates to some five million machines. “We love the Wii,” says Fleming, “and when customers are lucky enough to get one we have the games to keep them happy, but if they don’t we’re ready and able to keep their old game platform well-supplied with great game titles until they get the Wii of their dreams.”

There's More to Video Gaming Than Bullets and Blood, Says GameZnFlix CEO
There's More to Video Gaming Than Bullets and Blood, Says GameZnFlix CEOJohn Fleming, CEO of GameZnFlix, Inc. (OTCBB: GMFX), an online provider of video games and movies for rent or purchase, said today that video gamers can't be stereotyped.
"Ask someone to picture a typical video game player," says Mr. Fleming, "And they'll imagine an 18-to-24-year-old male living on pizza and swilling Mountain Dew while shooting all manner of imaginary enemies in games such as 'Doom,' 'Halo,' 'Grand Theft Auto,' 'Street Fighter' and the like. The reality is, there's a lot more to video games than bullets and blood."
"Take the 'Final Fantasy' series as an example," says Mr. Fleming. "These games seem to be as popular with females as with the guys, yet two of that series have made GameFAQ's 'The 10 Best Games Ever.' And a majority of the popular Nintendo Wii titles seem to be enjoying success with all ages, yet have nothing in common with the shoot-em-ups."
Non-violent games such as "Guitar Hero," "Dance Revolution," and "Super Mario" remain top sellers according to industry sources. According to its publisher, the best selling game of all time, the life simulation game "The Sims" by Electronic Arts, is played by a predominately female audience.
"The other day," continued Mr. Fleming, "I was looking at one of the games we carry called 'Cooking Mama Cook Off.' It's kind of a cross between 'Super Mario' and TV's 'Iron Chef' with a bit of 'Speed Racer' graphics thrown in. You actually improve your culinary skills by creating meals from 10 different cuisines in order to score points. It's the furthest thing from violent video gaming, unless of course, you count the chopping of the vegetables."
