However, the folks at Adobe Systems have been working hard on their platform by bringing it to Android, fixing key security issues, and bringing 64-bit support to Windows. Adobe has announced that their upcoming update will include 3D web graphics. (more…)

This is a sad day for MPCGamers.

It appears our server is under attack and will close tonight at 12:00 midnight. After all the hard work Jedikiller and Hardcore has put into it, users have reported that certain parts of the site are redirecting to unwanted URLs outside of our servers and others have reported startling messages being sent to them.

It has become severe enough to a point where we cannot fix it. MPCGamers will not operate any longer. Click on Read More for the details.
