When video games first gained their popularity, they did so among some of the fringe elements of society; if you played video games, it was likely that you knew how to work computers, which then was very different from knowing how to surf the Internet on your bitchin’ iMac now, and was entirely uncommon.
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.

INDIE Live Expo, Japan’s premiere online digital showcase series , will debut never-before-seen games & content updates across more than 100 titles on May 25th.
What a bitch... but damn did is she hot, and good at video games.
John Romero may be a cock, but he helped create the gaming world as we know it.
I don't think we'll see strong female figures in gaming for a long time - not until the community as a whole grows up a little.
The chicks on G4 hardly have anything interesting to say, their no more than pretty faces, especially lately. Although, Morgan Webb was pretty cool back when X-Play was still decent.
Even Jade Raymond, producer of Assassins Creed, was sexualized by the community. There was that big controversy when some fans drew art of her giving a blow job.
Good job gamers - way you prove you're more then pent-up 14-year-olds.
This article is pretty encouraging to see in two ways:
Firstly, like Crake says, it shows that not all of us gamers are immature and sexually retarded. K-Star, unusually, made a point that was actually pro-something without being a complete and utter douchenozzle, so that makes this first point that much more impressive.
Secondly, it's nice to see that the world of technology isn't strictly self-serving shit head men (as recently shown in 'The Social Network'), but women too.
As a final note, while it's been said millions of times already, I say it again; John Romero is a shithead.
I'm a girl gamer and I found this article to be a little rude.
women have been playing video games? WAHHHHH?
