Obviously this Story writer DOES NOT play any PC Games cause if he did then he would know that ALL MMO's are CO-Op.

You can team up with your buddy and run around doing stuff together until your fingers bleed.

and the best thing of all is that your buddy doesn't even have to be in your house Farting and eating up your food but you can still see his face and hear is voice over Skype.

I play Guild Wars 2 and Firefall with my friends all the time.

Like I said every darn PC MMO allows you to go Co-Op, Solo, or Full on Gang without that Horrible split screen non-sense!

MMOs are not the same at ALL. MMOs are rarely focused on story (TSW is one of the good ones), and you share the world with a larger group of people. I miss splitscreen games, having a buddy physically there and yes, even farting and eating up my food, is a good thing to me. I don't know what games you grew up playing but I spent my early gaming days playing James Bond splitscreen on N64 and it was awesome.

Wait, what? I really don't think there has been a shortage of co-op campaigns this gen. It's been a staple of every Halo FPS game, Perfect Dark, Resistance, Gears of War, In fact I think most big shooters included it. However, I can remember being annoyed at not being able to play splitscreen online with, I believe, COD 4.

conflict desert storm had the starting mission having one player in a jail cell, while the other guy had to free him, but it took like 30 minutes... so fucking boring. make it like co-op escape 2/3 on fc2 and well be talking

I agree with the article. A good recent example of a great couch co-op game was Double Dragon Neon. I know a lot of games wouldn't work well with same screen co-op, and then a split screen option is better than nothing. I just wish that all games that allowed online co-op also allowed split screen AND system link co-op. My internet is so spotty that it drops out pretty often, but me and my bud have a lot of fun playing system link co-op games on our off days.

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.
