I feel his pain I might have to wait a few days to play assassins creed 3

Worst part is I requested the 30 31 off to play it

guitarded774195d ago

I don't, all he had to do was pre-order and pick-up, but he wants to be an attention whore, which is his right to do so, but I feel sorry for no one who can afford to take a month off work to stand in a line.

HappyCamper1724195d ago

You do understand that he is paid by sponsors for doing that.

EPIKgamer4195d ago

He does this every launch for anything, stop being such a prick, its like a hobby for him.

Looks like Triforce could not handle the 'pressure'

*puts on sunglasses*

doogiebear4194d ago

I bet LX-General-Kaos would be crazy enough to wait on line. That dude is obsessed with Nintendo lol. Triforce Johnson got nothing on that dude.

I joke lol

DivineAssault 4195d ago

good, maybe he will get some sense & pre order it nx time.. Or do a week in advance for media attention instead of a month

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.
