I'm a mixture of all, should I shoot myself on the foot?

ArchangelMike3552d ago

Yeah I'm all of the above. Unfortunately I'm also the type of gamer that jumps on the hype train and must pre-order that new game - only to never complete the game once it's released :(

N83552d ago

That's watch dogs for me. I returned it in two days. I was so hype for it.

Kidmyst3552d ago

I'm more a mix like 1-3, and some of that is due to trophies/achievements. If it wasn't for platinums I wouldn't be a glutten for punishment for hardest difficulties and then curse up a storm like suicide mode on spec ops the line and the stupidity of the AI of squad mates.

BattleTorn3552d ago

Yup. Same.

Definitely not a #2 though

Somehow, i have a feeling if i told someone they should shoot themselves in the comment section of N4G, i would be insta-banned. However, this article blatantly tells a large percentage of gamers to shoot themselves and the article has nearly passed submission.

I'm a completionists, enjoy a challenge and love co-op. Eliminate all that from gaming, then it might as well be non-existent to me.

Suggesting I should shoot myself because I enjoy my games differently than you is extreme. I know that the article is trying to be "cheeky" but i feel like the Title could have been less extreme and still have been able to be "fun."

Sadists? Shouldn't this title be "Masochists"?

BTW, nice plot twist at the end.

Blacktric3552d ago

Not only the author doesn't know the difference between sadist and masochist, he also doesn't know that Dark Souls doesn't let you choose a difficulty.

So now, I want to shoot whoever wrote this dreck.

If you feel compelled to write an article like this, get out of gaming journalism. You just don't get it and the gaming world doesn't need your input.

Edit - If I hadn't seen KentBlake's comment above I wouldn't have made it to the end of the article. You might want to think about how you word your headline and the beginning of your articles.

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.
