A regular column at Go Gaming Giant that looks at blunders of gaming. This issue looks at Final Fantasy VIII
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.

in my opinion FF8 is sooo underated
IMO, fail article.
FF8 isn't my fav but it's really good game. Draw/Junction system is cool addon, I like the way it was implemented. Story was ok, nothing special, but good enough not to bore player to death.
I think this guy just didn't understood the game. I heard tons of complains about junction being too difficult, but some won't admit and call it dull. Story goes in some places on artistic/dramatic level, some will love it, some will say it's boring.
I also think the author didn't get the cultural differences and mistranslation in-game. Chicken-wuss? Ever tried to call lame names on people? Last time I heard it doesn't make you lame if you're making fun of someone.
Emo attitude? It wasn't that mainstream in late 90s so nobody complained at the time except that he was acting like an idiot sometimes.
Gunblade stupidest? I've seen several articles about coolest weapons in games, gunblade was quite high.
TripleTriad was fun addon, maybe not for everyone but definetly it's good mini-game addon. Ever thought how many jRPG games have complex addon like that? Again, I think he didn't get the rules good enough to win matches.
FF8 isn't blunder at all. It isn't game for everyone but it's definetly a good jRPG.
Summing up all that he said and what've been said by experienced jRPG players and reviewers with IQ over 95, and along with that year of the birth in XX century, conclusion is clear: He's an idiot.
