With the enormous popularity of Motherload, things were starting to become a little sluggish at XGen as the load on our server infrastructure quickly outgrew our capacity.
Today brings a total of 3 new top-of-the-line servers into play, which should speed things up nicely for everyone. The forums also received a significant change which resulted in an immense speed increase. Additionally, those having trouble saving & loading in Motherload will be pleased to know that those problems should be history.
I'll end by echoing Skye's thanks to all of you for making Motherload and XGen Studios a roaring success.

Hey X-kids, ...
Hey X-kids,
It's getting close to election time in the US, and to help clarify the voting process, here's the platform breakdown of some Popular Villains. I hope you find it as informative as I did, and it serves as a reminder, at least, to get your information from more than one source. Especially when it comes to politics, medical advice, and best-before dates.
I bear news from Oslo, Norway! City planners have an ingenious idea to solve an age-old issue: where to run broadband lines. Unfortunately, service providers think that this idea stinks. More on this as the situation uncurls.
Ah, hot sauce. Is there any sweeter nectar? What can't it do? I mean, it even cleans pennies with little effort! I think it's high time we staged a hot sauce revolution, and overthrew the ketchup overlords that have held our fries in their thixotropic grasp for too long.
Vive la Revolution, kids,
Dave
