Blood, gore, violence...

Blood gushes into the space where the man's head used to be before you slashed his neck with an axe. His friend lies with his skull caved in after you bashed it in. Welcome to the world of violent video games. Too gory for you?

It's worth reading but I'm not sure it's going to settle any arguments. I found that the player data at the end of the article was more interesting than the article itself (i.e. Forty-two per cent of online game players are female).

Its really stupid when they say games have gone too far while we have R rated movies like Hostel 2 (A naked girl hanged upside down, being tortured by another naked girl until here throut is cut!?) or Saw 3 (Everyone dies the gories possible way).
And nobody says anything about all those torture porn movies (Hostel, Saw, Captivity, Texas Chainsaw...) in the market while games are considered the main reason of all murder and madness in the world.

Yea +bubbles MK_Red.

I say gore FTW in videogames but thats just me.

But the newer gore/horror movies are just so pathetic. Nothing but shock value.

"Let's make all these people die as horribly as possible, and vivid also! We want vivid! I want to see her guts spill!"

Those newer movies are just going too far.

Thank you MK_Red, your point is well taken.

Why do you need so much gore anyway. It is fine in movies (i don't have a weak stomach or any thing), but it is just a waste of animating time, money and space to include too much gore. Some games that go for the horror effect should use it, but why have blood poor out in skating games?

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.
