How Japanese Anime Brings Gaming Hardware To Life

Kotaku - Over the years, countless video games and video game consoles have appeared in Japanese anime. Sometimes, they are part of the story. Other times, they're just games. It depends, really.

And here I thought Neptunia did that...

In the "Bleach" series (both anime and manga) there was a boy character named Yukio that carried a PSP.

Yokio's power (to paraphrase) was that he could turn reality into a video game through his PSP.

A) My comment was both sarcastic and rhetorical, since that is exactly what Neptunia is about.
B) Where did I doubt that? The whole premise of The World God Only Knows is based off his experience with games. Also like a lot of things in Bleach, that idea also appeared in YuYu Hakusho, in the form of Tsukihito Amanuma. I can also list plenty of other examples (and a few Video Games that went on to become anime's), but it really doesn't matter.

I love that Oreimo featured the Vita. It's really popular over in Japan, so that'll drive Vita sales even more I'm sure. (Do they even offer a pink one like that though?)

Was oreimo the one about the gamer god?

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.
