Violence in video games

Since Doom was released in 1993 violent crimes in the United States have been reduced by 40%. Coincidence? Possibly, yes. However, the year Quake and Duke Nukem 3D were released, violent crimes fell by 4%, and a further 2% when Grand Theft Auto was released.

Funny thing about this, it's completely true and something the law enforcement has been trying to not make a big deal about. I completed my criminal justice minor last year and statistics like this was a huge part of my Junior year.

The reason that law enforcement downplay this is because they are worried they're funding will be cut if they start saying how great everything is actually going. Thats why they have click it and ticket programs and such 1) to raise money 2) to give them something to bust down on because quite frankly there isn't as much to do as there was a decade or two ago. Of course there are still the big scary "dark statistics of crime" as well but who needs to know that only half of ALL crime is actually punished.

Hey, Where is Mortal Kombat? It brought us the word "Fatality".

how many anti-video-gaming proponents, such as Jack Thompson, irresponsibly spin vague and irrelevant events and statistics to support their questionable cause, yet have the balls to dismiss pro-gaming statistics such as these.

In reality, there probably ISN'T any correlation with video games and the decrease in crime rate...but when in Rome, do as the Romans do, right?

So be it, then: Wacko Jacko recklessly preaches that video games are the root of all evil???

In that case, I say, 'pshaw!' to that, as it's obvious from these statistics, that Duke Nukem', with his lovable shrink ray and admirable "shake it baby, shake it!" strippers, are single-handedly responsible for averting World War III, and the ultimate Doom (heh, heh!) of all of man-kind.

"Come get some!"

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.
