The Gamer's "Do Before Death, Marriage Or Kids" List, Part II

Once you reach a certain point in your life, it's hard not to start thinking about the things you'd like to do before you croak. See the pyramids! Set foot on each of the continents! Take a Tex-Mex cooking class! As gamers, we often have similar thoughts, though they're not necessarily on such a morbid timeline. Marriage and parenthood can also take a chunk out of prime gaming time, depending upon your choice of spouse or the amount of attention you plan on giving your tiny terror. Even if you don't plan on spawning or dying in the immediate future, there are still tons of things that you should plan on doing while you have the time.

76. Play Pong. Seriously. It has to be done.
77. Battle Psycho Mantis in Metal Gear Solid
78. Screw a friend out of a Mario Kart victory by nailing him or her with a red shell at the finish line. Any Mario Kart applies. It's equally as painful in each version
79. Experience the joys of the sticky grenade and energy sword in either Halo 2 or 3 multiplayer
80. Rob someone blind in the Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion

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

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.
