Gaming habits: Know your enemy

Picture the scene. Your friend has called you up and suggested a weekend of food, merriment and non-stop gaming. You agree because logic dictates there’s no better way to spend the weekend. You’ve rolled up at your friend’s abode, you’ve got the snacks, fizzy drinks (or beer, whatever) and you’ve had the half-hour discussion about what pizza to get. You settle down to a Smash Bros marathon, and then you remember. You remember why you don’t like playing games with your friends. Or just why you don’t like your friends in general. The reason you should never mix alcohol or an unholy sugar rush with gaming and friends is because they’re bound to have at least one unremembered irritating gaming habit. And when you’re not in your right mind there’s a strong chance you’ll give in to the craving and leap across the sofa to batter them unconscious with your controller.

Hilarious article. I admit it, I'm the caveman (I hate when someone is trying to carry a conversation with me and I'm right in the middle of an intense GOW match). LOL good times

EKWB reportedly plagued with financial disarray many gaming pc's left without parts

EK Cooling allegedly has slipped itself into a hot soup of seemingly endless financial woes, where it has not paid its staff, suppliers, and contractors for many months as the company is facing liquidity problems and a surplus of inventory left unsold, stuck in the warehouse for a more extended period. Gamers Nexus investigated these claims made by former and current personnel, where he found trails of unpaid bills lasting as long as three to four months and unpaid raises that accumulated for almost a year.

EK Water Blocks has two entities—a Slovenian-based headquarters and a US-based subsidiary, EK Cooling Solutions. Steve narrated the series of events in detail, stating that the company was reportedly irresponsible and negligent regarding payment. Consequently, partners and employees are forced to share the burden of alleged mismanagement. It all begins with its extensive range of products, leading to a surplus of goods. EK has over 230 water blocks, 40 liquid cooling kits, 85 reservoirs, 40 pumps, 73 radiators, and 212 miscellaneous accessories.

Yes this is not about video games directly but indirectly this will impact the pc gaming/workstation space hard.

This company is massive one of two in the water cool space so if it goes poof then thousands out there have no spare parts or half built computers.

SO yeah i know not about a video game but think of it as amd leaving the pc space but this is ekwb that could be leaving water cooling in the pc space

Jayz2cents a supporter of there products also has issues

As someone that has built a watercooling rig. EK is big, but there's so many numerous watercooling part companies out there. EK's stuff isn't exactly amazing quality for the price compared to others either, it's just ok. Much like Corsair. The impact would be negligible long term. For perspective the majority of my parts are XSPC, at most I use EK for my gpu waterblocks and fittings. Both easily replaceable.
