Those Addicted to Video Games Should Visit a Slaughterhouse on Kill Day, Says Unhinged Caller

Kotaku - I enjoy public broadcasting and I value public affairs programming, but I reach for the knob as soon as a political show brings in callers. Rarely are they interested in continuing a discussion or offering a point that starts a new one. They're more likely to disguise an opinion as a question, show off in front of a guest expert, or regale the audience with their self-taught constitutional scholarship.

HammadTheBeast4034d ago

I don't know which is worse, the caller, or Kotaku.

:/

ddurand14034d ago

right? id love to know the relation between these two seemingly unrelated things.

I didnt want to give kotaku the hits.

SilentNegotiator4034d ago

Kotaku, for making an article over one caller.

JsonHenry4034d ago

Pfft. There a lot of us that are hunters that kill or raise our own animals and actually do the slaughtering ourselves. It doesn't change anything. It doesn't make us more violent. And it doesn't make me want to eat meat any less or not play "violent" video games.

HammadTheBeast4034d ago

You sick animals. Maybe they should cook you up and slaughter you.... wait.. that's VIOLENT!

...damn videogames are getting to me....

Now people who cut their grass NOW those are some Violent Mass Murderers!

The Sound of that Loud Lawnmower drowning out the screams of a Million blades of grass being slaughtered.

His brother was addicted to them "20 years ago", those "violent shoot-em-up" games.

Blaming real world violence for a few pixels. Great.

Yet, Saw, and Final Destination can do whatever the **** they want.

xabmol4034d ago

Well at least Death Metal isn't the scape goat anymore. \,,/ (>_<) \,,/

iceman064034d ago

or Rap, Rock and Roll, or Jazz, or that damn Beethoven. LOL They were all scapegoated for some portion of their existence.

Megaplaynate4034d ago

I've been in a slaughterhouse on kill day and was shown the entire process when I was 15, it wasn't a big deal but there's a lot more blood in the floor than in any game I've played, although not as much s$#t as in some games.
I went to burger king after that.

xabmol4034d ago

Should visit a slaughterhouse.

Because video games have never killed a SINGLE FUCKING THING. But Mickey D's has killed millions of cows!

iceman064034d ago

Umm...If Mickey D's kills that many cows...where does all of the meat go? You are suggesting that McDonald's actually uses...beef?!?! Lol

Gameatholon4034d ago (Edited 4034d ago )

Lol

"He never not once let me play the game I always had to watch over his shoulder, But I never wanted to play anyway"

Yeah sure buddy whatever you say, try doing research before you call and spout off and sound like a an uninformed American.

Also sounds like he was jealous of his older brother.

Why go to a slaughter house? What the hell is seeing a cow get a dead bolt to the head going to do?

Hell all he had to say was, keep watching the news their will be a murder followed by a rape and then ends with a child abduction.

1nsaint4034d ago

Ikr, seeing a pig get skinned or what ever wouldn't stop me from eating pork, then why would it stop me from playing games xD

The only thing visiting a slaughter house would make me do is not visit slaughter houses anymore.

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.
