Going through my site logs today, I found this:

http://blogs.ign.com/Erik-IGN/2007/12/08/73810/

IGN's XBox 360 Editor hotlinked to a picture of Qix from my Taito Tribute because apparently Qix has become the new big thing at the IGN office. So if you've ever wondered why those moronic bastards at IGN charge you to join their forums, it's because they need lots of quarters to play Qix.

At least, I assume they're playing it on arcade machines. People at a "legitimate" gaming site would never DOWNLOAD TEH ROMS, right? Just to be safe though, let's report them to the proper authorities.

Odd that they didn't even snag the image and host it on their own server.

You should totally replace that image on your site with something... unfriendly.

In fact, please do. Twisted Evil

Since the site will probably be changed soon, I took a picture.

Bwahahahahahaha! Owned! Well done, Syd.


Thou, because I am wroth, be not dismayed, for I shall win the strife, whoever circle round within for the defence. This their insolence is not new, for of old they used it at a less secret gate, which still is found without a bolt. Above it thou didst see the dead inscription; and already on this side of it
descends the steep, passing without escort through the circles,
One such that by him the city shall be opened to us.

I wonder if someone got a stern talking-to about hotlinking to images all willy-nilly. Razz
