Oh, oops. I made mashed potatoes out half of our server farm for the mod team. My bad.

Didn't you notice the wires sticking out of the potato that was the battery powering the Commodore 64. good thing you didn't make chips or you would have fried the system.

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

The server vgchart has is a potato. Poor little guy couldn't handle the workload...

We need another one.

Made a bet with LipeJJ and HylianYoshi that the XB1 will reach 30 million before Wii U reaches 15 million. Loser has to get avatar picked by winner for 6 months (or if I lose, either 6 months avatar control for both Lipe and Hylian, or my patrick avatar comes back forever).

Russian Hackers

so they've moved on from fortnite and pubg then?

I am sure they juggle more than one attack at a time, at least I hope vgchartz isn't the only focus right now.

Yes... although that was the origin location of the IP that did the most attacks over the last few days... second was Czech Republic, than US... from over a few dozen IPs... (some were probably generic worms, but some were specifically targeting the site...)
