A great blog post from Kombo: "While playing last night, I experienced something the GTA series has never really done to me (at least that I can remember). I felt a little guilty -- for something I did in the game, that is."
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.
Originally launched in 2011, El Shaddai: Ascension of the Metatron is coming to Nintendo Switch, so It's time to look back at the original.
Still have my ps3 copies. Bought it at launch and another one when I found it cheap and in perfect condition about 10 years ago. I wouldn’t buy it on Switch but if they made a PS5 version I would. I still have one of my PS3 Fats hooked up so good to go either way.
Id play it again on the switch. I wished my 360 version was bc but this is still a good way to play.
The artist behind Fallout 4’s Deathclaw reveals just how bad things got back when Bethesda took over the series
People are stupid I get it. No one should feel unsafe,
But I think they need to talk about why they cut so many corners during the development process and why none of their games ever look current. And why they think all of this is okay while they charge full price.
As much as Bethesda deserve criticism, that's not really relevant to the reveal of Fallout 3 in 2007.
The default angle Kotaku always go for is to highlight the worst in gaming.
I would’ve focused on the creative.
Okay? well play another game then pu$$y....
Insightful comment, there, buddy. The article's encouraging discussion, not trying to dredge up your feelings of faux-empathy. I'm glad that, at the very least, you're taking out your illogical rage on the internet instead of resorting to road rage like everyone else. Actually, no I'm not.
Anyway, at some level GTA makes me feel bad as well. If I choose to hop into a big truck and knock over a few citizens -- permanently -- I generally do it for about half an hour. After that, I've had all I can take, so I reload my game from before the Liberty City Massacre (can't be ruining Niko's pristine reputation) and go kill bad people. It's actually kind of cool that Rockstar was able to so thoroughly develop Niko that I want to avoid making him an abjectly cold killer.
I reckon this game is providing itself as a very effective conduit for carrying out my otherwise-unbeknown dark, evil desires to unleash insane (albeit creative and artistic!) havoc among the poor, innocent virtual-bystanders of Liberty City.
"Auto-Bowling for Grannies", anyone? ;)
Although I must admit (without giving away spoilers), my conscience compelled me to let "that guy" live early on in the game.
...ahh, who am I kidding. I was really hoping that my decision would lead to repercussions of more violence and massacre.
(Ironically, in real life, I can't even kill a spider without trying to free it outside.)
Seems to me like you need a break there buddy...I love what rockstar has done with the game they developed it with an awsome story and left the choice be yours.
Thats all just Wow.
