After being benched for 20 years, and returning only to be forsaken again despite being a splendid game, it's time Kid Icarus gets salvation.
Video games are no longer just a simple past time. Today's games are evolving into true works of art. Offering intriguing narratives, cinematic setpieces, and profound messages, games can entertain us for hundreds of hours.
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.
I have a huge back log ive beat 7 games this week alone and am no where near clearing it its ridiculous
The picture shows about how much my backlog grows each week.
I've got a ton of games i either haven't started or haven't finished. With all these new games coming out for some reason i feel the need to buy them day one haha. I just figure ill go back and beat them during the spring or summer when not alot of games are being released. I do feel bad when i move on to a new game without before beating it.
Good article but it's more about not getting a backlog in the first place, not what to do about your huge freakin' backlog now! hahaha.
I was sooooo good the first half of this gen- only buying a new games when the last one was completed, not collecting. But man, those days are gone!
and the worst thing is going back and replaying old games again instead of starting the new ones. wtf?!! haha
The past year so far has been insane. I mean really i've been buying games weekly sometimes 3 games a week and cramming a few days into each one just to catch up. At this point i am about 75% done with Dark Souls after just beating Rage,Gears,Resistance 3, Shadow of the Damned, Catherine, and the list goes on. My girlfriend is currently pissed as all hell at me but i am a Gamer and i live up to those expectations. NOW for tomorrow, Batman:A.C, and than after that Battlefield...and after that Uncharted....and after that Call of Duty...oh boy..it keeps going..
