Ladies and gentlemen, the ninth annual Montreal International Game Summit (MIGS) is well underway, featuring a plethora of industry professionals coming together to share their skills and views about what’s going on in the video gaming scene. Fully loaded with an Exhibition Zone, a Career Fair, an Art Gallery and several other social activities, MIGS is easily considered to be the biggest event in Canada. On Tuesday November 13th, IMGMR.com's Jon Batzios was fortunate enough to interview a handful of industry professionals, in hopes of gaining a better sense of the differing areas of expertise needed to keep the industry running smoothly.
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

And here I though no one was going to cover that. Awesome interviews!
The "Psychology" one with Jason Vandersomething was actually pretty funny. It's a long video but essentially its a TED talk. Also, killer voice.
Bootycandy...OUT!
This is interesting definitely going to take the time to listen to the vids. *page bookmarked*
I was at MIGS, actually! It was pretty much this! In other words, informative and awesome!
