From Destructoid:
"Around the time of the Oscars every year, I often hear people say things like, "Who picks the winners, anyway?" When I explain that it's the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences, an organization with 6,000+ "motion picture professionals," a few people say, "They should let the people pick 'em." Frankly, I think it's a good thing that life doesn't work that way, as the general populace often doesn't know what the hell it's doing (e.g., American Idol).
Here's some more evidence of that. Last night, X-Play aired an hour-long special on its "G-Phoria 2008" Awards, which are purposely set during the summer so "gamers can find respite from the heat and take advantage of time off to engage in their passion." To be eligible, a game had to have been released between July 31, 2007, and July 31, 2008. All 19 awards were selected by viewer votes (online at G4tv.com and via text message), so I guess it's not entirely fair for me to bitch since I didn't voice my opinion. Whatever, I'm going to do it anyway.
You'd think that, with the window shifted to include the first seven months of this year and the last five of last year, people would've gotten over the whole "ZOMG Halo 3 IS THE BEST GAME EVAR!" thing -- but apparently not. So they picked it as the best game released in the past twelve months. *Sigh* Personally, I could name at least five games that are better in my opinion..."
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

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.
sucks now. actually it started sucking a long time ago. Heck how much you wanna bet there is a show on right now on G4 but has nothing to do with gaming?
Gphoria was pathetic.
Im A Stupid Xbot, I am embarrassed to be with my fellow xbots to think that HALO 3 is GOTY. We definetely now know G4 are xbots.
You should consider that MGS4 lost by 40 votes yet has a significantly smaller base of players.
I agree with the Author,and all five of the games are Playstation 3 Exclusives
