I liked the Lizard Squad when the did that Super Troopers movie and even that Club Dread thing wasn't too bad, but them taking down XBox Live ranks even worse than Beer Fest.

Wasn't that Brok......never mind, I agree with all of the above ;)

Chaos evil is arguably the worst kind of evil. No motivation except for the lulz.

WHO IS JESUS REALLY?

Seems to back online for me (Xbox One)... Also just rented The Interview and started streaming it on Xbox video.
Oh the irony:)

Is it ironic that a Sony film is on Xbox Live?

How many time do I need to tell you that eveything is not Microsoft vs Sony and that I do not care this fanboys war?
I like Microsoft stuff a lot but I do hate the opposite side at all like you seem to expect. Fine it is your way of thinking but it is not mine. And I'm actually very glad Sony released the movie instead of listenning to the hackers

The irony is that hackers did a lot to prevent that movie for being released and that now I can go back on Xbox Live and even watch the damn movie.

I don't find that ironic at all though since the groups aren't even related. That's why I asked the other question

The morning news in Australia talked about Sony , Google and MS coming together to distibute the film digitaly , they had quotes from Microsofts head legal guy and some one from Google who's position I can't remember , talking about Sony contacting them and other companies and they decide to show their support since it is an issue that affects all of them.

Research shows Video games help make you smarter, so why am I an idiot

Hmm, it seems that Kim Dotcom may have saved christmas for xbl/psn?

"Hi @LizardMafia, I want to play #Destiny on XBOX Live. I'll give your entire crew Mega lifetime premium vouchers if you let us play. Cool?"

"Asking Mega management to approve 3000 @MegaPrivacy premium vouchers for @LizardMafia if they stop attacking XBOX Live and PSN immediately."

"Attacks have stopped momentarily, awaiting @KimDotCom's response." (Lizard Squad)

"Thanks @LizardMafia for stopping attack on XBOX Live & PSN. Let everyone play with their Xmas gifts. Your Mega vouchers have been approved!"

I'm glad and all that the attacks have stopped, but why reward them? I mean, I know it's Christmas time and it's better to give than to receive, but they don't deserve anything. They give stuff to them, and they can keep going with this crap on the foreseeable future. What if they use these Megavouchers for illicit stuff in the future?

Diablo III servers are lagging like hell tho. Things are just stuttering on screen and I've no idea if I am dead or alive most of the time. I think other players are disconnecting

Well, its not really "rewarding them" but rather a temporary solution cause it certainly didn't seem like psn or xbl was going to be fixed for a while and who knows how long Lizard Squad was going to keep it up! So, Kim giving them this so that at least for now, it stopped the ddos and made it so that people will be able to enjoy their new consoles and games. They will get what's coming to them eventually but until that happens, this seems to be the only way
