These aren't 40 spoilers are they ?

I've only played FF11 and the first 7 hours of FF7. I'd rather not ruin the rest of the games plots by reading this.

Are they?

No it's more like 'Cloud was originally meant to have brown hair' and 'the buster sword was coded into FFX, but was taken out' and just stuff like that

40 individual pages of No Thanks... fascinating as the subject may be, fishing for hits doesn't sit well with me =/

Usually I agree, but for this particular site all the slides are actually loaded at the same time when you open the page the first time. When clicking prev/next page the new slide is shown using javascript (which is why it is very fast and smooth). You can confirm this by using the browser debugger (F12).

The javascript does some additional requests when clicking prev/next page though. 1 to www.google-analytics.com and 2 to ad.doubleclick.net. The last host is blocked by default by any adblock, and you can easily block google-analytics.com too if you want.

Bubbs for the great info! Thanks!

I'm at work and have an really outdated browser ... I'll remember this for later though.

Worst list ever, do not read its just generalities and lies.

The one about Sephiroth is wrong. It was not inspired by Neon Genesis evangelion lol. Sephiroth is a plural noun in Hebrew; the singular is Sephirah (also spelled Sefira). The Sephiroth are described in the Kabbalah as the manifestations of God that allow Him to manifest in the physical and metaphysical universes, referring to Sephiroth's simultaneous existence in the Lifestream and the Planet, and his manifestations through Jenova. Sephiroth main influence was from the Kabbalah.

Didn't know Square Enix made the first Final Fantasy, could of sworn it was a different company. But what do I know I'm sure a company formed in mid 2000s could make a game in the late 80s.

TheOneWhoIsTornApart3918d ago

Also Hironobu Sakaguchi is the reason it was call Final Fantasy. It was he who said that was his last not the company's.

SpaceGhost3918d ago

It was original Called Square Soft until it merged with another company called Enix, Hence the name.

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.
