   I disagree. I think it's very healthy to open up the conversation again. I've been surprised at how much it hasn't been talked about in the last few months (not referring to online but in person). It was weird to be at startup events sho

    I've been kind of surprised by ign's writing lately. They've gotten a lot more thoughtful, past the simple game review writing and have much more intelligent pieces these days.

    Phase change sounds a lot cooler then what the article was trying to put forth. Dielectric liquid cooled computers have been around a long time. I even did my capstone project my senior year taking a 3M dielectric fluid and attempting to m
