Pixar Character Designer Talks 'Assassin's Creed', 'BioShock,' And Games As Art

MTV writes:

"While at Pixar last week, I passed on the opportunity to tour the animation studio.

Instead, I spent my time speaking with "Wall-E" character designer Jason Deamer about a wind range of subjects, most them completely unrelated to his work on "Wall-E." Deamer has been at Pixar for 11 years and a gamer since the Atari 2600.

I wanted to know what a filmmaker who's not on the level of Steven Spielberg or Peter Jackson thinks about games. Deamer's answers, including why he couldn't finish "BioShock" and an argument in favor of games as art, surprised me."

... and Kung Fu Panda (not Pixar, I know)

I really wish Pixar will someday make a brilliant CGI movie based on Monkey Island 1 and/or 2, so a great, funny adventure with Guybrush.

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.
