When is VGChartz being acquired and by who?

The better question is: who is VGChartz going to buy?

VGChartz to buy 4chan, only to itself be bought by 8chan.

Forget guessing who's the next Smash character. It's all about who acquires who.

With NFT's of our sales chart

And the forum has to be filled, at all times, with at least 80% topics and discussions so insulting and rude that even Kirby is humbled.

But why would a newspaper buy a game?

Amazon buys my debt.



My bet with The_Liquid_Laser: I think the Switch won't surpass the PS2 as the best selling system of all time. If it does, I'll play a game of a list that The_Liquid_Laser will provide, I will have to play it for 50 hours or complete it, whatever comes first.

Ever heard of the TV show Lingo?


Which was a spin on the old Mastermind game.


Wordle is a simple app that lets you guess a new word every day.

Everyone gets the same word and everyone brags about how many tries they needed to guess the word. You enter a guess and the app shows you which letters are in the word and which letter are in the right place. Just like Mastermind except there it's colored pegs. (guess the sequence)

Perhaps the NY Times thinks it's great to have for their online newspaper like the daily crossword puzzle.
