Gamertag Radio writes: "Rehtaeh Parson and Audrie Pott were two teenage girls who committed suicide in separate incidents after pictures of their rapes became viral and they were mercilessly bullied by their peers. It may seem unthinkable that kids would use something as traumatic and devastating as rape to "slut shame," bully, and harass another teenager, but it obviously does happen. How did teen rape culture come about, and how could rape be treated so trivially? Cenk hypothesizes that a small portion of the blame could be due to kids casually throwing around "rape" as a verb to not mean a sexual assault, but as some form of "owning" someone, or badly beating them, say, in a video game. Is that true? Cenk Uygur, Ana Kasparian, and Ben Mankiewicz are joined by John Iadarola (TYT University) and Kim Horcher (Nerd Alert) to discuss."
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

Originally launched in 2011, El Shaddai: Ascension of the Metatron is coming to Nintendo Switch, so It's time to look back at the original.
Still have my ps3 copies. Bought it at launch and another one when I found it cheap and in perfect condition about 10 years ago. I wouldn’t buy it on Switch but if they made a PS5 version I would. I still have one of my PS3 Fats hooked up so good to go either way.
Id play it again on the switch. I wished my 360 version was bc but this is still a good way to play.
The artist behind Fallout 4’s Deathclaw reveals just how bad things got back when Bethesda took over the series
People are stupid I get it. No one should feel unsafe,
But I think they need to talk about why they cut so many corners during the development process and why none of their games ever look current. And why they think all of this is okay while they charge full price.
As much as Bethesda deserve criticism, that's not really relevant to the reveal of Fallout 3 in 2007.
It's just a word. What it represents is horrible, but at the end of the day people are gonna say whatever they want. The way they say it, it's clear they aren't talking about sexual assault, so I see it as no harm done.
The word was trivialized by feminists, false rape accusations are encouraged these days. Brian Banks sat 10 years of his life in jail and then when the accuser admitted she lied, she wasn't even punished. The cry wolf phenomena.
If they are against rape so much, show me one feminist who lobbies against prison rape. They are even changing the definition so men cannot be raped.
Rape is just a word, but it is a powerful word. That power has traditionally come from a person being sexually victimize and it shouldn't be taken lightly.
So I can understand the concern and complaints of people who don't like the word being used out of that context. At the same time, even in the gaming culture the use of the word "rape" means that you where completely destroyed and humiliated.
So it's not like the word is being changed to anything positive. Because of that I would say that the word isn't being trivialized by kids. Beyond that, you wouldn't go out in public and say: "Oh I totally got raped last night." So the power of that word still has it's original meaning only now it has some additional meaning, that isn't positive, for a different circumstance.
With that said, it shocked me when Tina Wood said on the gaming reveal for Gears of War Judgment that she got "raped" referring to playing mulitplayer matches against the developers of the game. Obviously we all know what she meant, but it was disturbing hearing her say that. Needless to say, Tina Wood is not a child.
She says this at about the 2:20 mark in the Gear War Judgment Event. This is the link to a youtube of the event http://www.youtube.com/watc... To be clear, this is not my youtube account.
The word clearly means something else in a lot of people's minds and they surely wouldn't say it if they truly knew the extent of what they were saying. The actual act of this sex crime would soon become apparent to anyone that suffers it informing them how they then use the word
The one thing as already pointed out is how it can leave people open to making very awkward tits of themselves and then of course they never use the word again in this way
I would disagree that people wouldn't publicly say the same use of the word because ignorance in the first place prevents a lot of people knowing what the word is in it's other use
It had happened to an old friend of mine. So obviously my stance on this doesn't need to be spelled out.
However it means(not the actual word) different things to different people. Calling a black person the n word is one thing, and referring to a white guy as the same doesn't mean squat.
When I hear that word(or read it for that matter) I have to push bad thoughts out of my mind. Yet some people giggle when they hear or see the word.
I just simply do not associate myself with people who find that humorous. Along with use of the n word and the c word.
I'm twenty-four years old. And anybody who is my age and still finds that stuff funny isn't somebody I can get along with.
You know what I mean. You can't change people around you. You can only change the type of people that you are around.
Hell my roommate is going on thirty-two and he can be a prick sometimes(JK!).
