Hitman, opening today in 2,401 locations across North America, is the latest videogame adaptation to come out of Hollywood, and initial reports on the film based on Eidos' and IO Interactive's silent assassin are overwhelmingly negative. Rotten Tomatoes, a website that collects top film reviews from across the nation, reports that only four of the 32 currently published reviews (at press time) for the film are positive, while Metacritic claims a 34% average score amongst its currently listed reviews.
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

Seriously, what Hitman fan didn't see this coming? I've been a HUGE Hitman fan since the first game and the first time I saw Olyphant's shaved head prancing about as the eponymous Hitman 47 I was like "well that's going to suck". Maybe I should start directing video game movies sheesh.
I second that. Poorly cast, and the review from my local paper pretty much said it all.
If he's supposed to be incognito, then why the hell is he running around with that GIGANTIC Bar Code tattoo on his chrome dome? The story reeks of the same drivel as every other brainless action movie that's been released in the past decade.
When they were putting this together, they were probably reading "Uwe Boll's Guide to Oscar Worthy Filmmaking".
Step 1: Miscast the ENTIRE movie
Step 2: Take a coherent story, and hand it over to the local County Jail Drunk Tank for review.
Step 3: Upon revision of said script, convince some poor sap studio that this "movie" is worth losing $50+ million on.
Step 4: Make sure there's unnecessary eye candy in the movie and make sure her involvement DIRECTLY contradicts the plot.
Step 5: Release the movie and trash talk anyone who hates it.
... when I saw the trailer for this was that Timothy Olyphant (who plays 47) looks too young.
Anyone else think he needed to look 10 or 15 years older..?
i actually thought the movie looked promising...
but it probably turned out to be a mindless action flick eh?
Watched trailer on PSN, it didn't give me a good impression about the film.
Main problem is he looks nothing like Hitman.
