Lo and behold, the man is here himself to explain why everything is, in fact, his fault.

Except for the part where two people offered sympathy for his position, and understanding for his being overworked and alone with minimal equipment sure.
If the image isn't a tip off, "Blame Kross" is a long running joke on the Escapist. I have another one somewhere...

Sorry, I'm new here, so no. The image doesn't exactly require days of careful crafting after all.
Well it's very easy to be sympathetic to Kross,

Don't you want to take me on a snipe hunt first?
You're right, that's rude of me, luckily there's an undo button.

I clicked a button, once. Let me tell you, 15 years in prison, and as much therapy and I have no desire to ever do it again. Never. Not one more time. Maybe.

Maybe. just this once?
Come on, take a leap of faith. It'll make Kross happy. Do you not like Kross? What did Kross do to you? :(

On the plus side, I have a new badge. On the downside, I need a new carpet. Call it a win. Bieber though, is cruel. CRUEL.
Guess who made those buttons? I have a pic you can use...

YES! THAT ONE! Thankies :D
I'm fairly certain that error message is the most popular thing I have ever made on this site. At the very least, it wouldn't surprise me if that was the case.

Click the red button enough times and you get another badge. Just sayin'.

Those buttons are nothing compared to the shenanigans that happen when Archon lets Kross out of his cage every April 1st... The Horror... The Horror...

I have a problem with the video player, the ad starts playing, but so does the video, and I can't close the ad, it sucks.
It may be an ad issue (we've currently been yelling at our upstream to give us more information on ad creatives before they go live, because they keep using lazy javascript global variables that break the site), or some other configuration/environment related issue [http://www.escapistmagazine.com/videos/help]. The bottom of that link has a contact form if the previous steps fail to resolve the issue. Sorry for the troubles. :(

I should say though, that I don't like this. I miss the days when being open to ads didn't mean being open to half a dozen trackers and beacons. I miss the days when little sites like these were not under so much pressure.
You and me both. :/
I'd love if we could self-host ads rather then use third party (and easily excised) javascript bullshit. But the third party tracking is more valuable to them (networks[footnote]almost all ads are companies farming campaigns out to PR companies who then buy "content categories" from ad hosts/networks that get included on end-user websites[/footnote] like OAS and Doubleclick/Google that manage ad rotation/tracking/targeting and exert a minimum amount of effort on QA and other silly integration things that make ads tolerable) then actually making reasonable ads that fit with the site (and are hosted on our CDN with all our other images). It's bad enough where in many cases, blocking the tracker but allowing the ad itself means the ad doesn't "count" so everyone gets the worst of everything.

Edit: @ThyNameIsMud actually made the button, I just encouraged some of its... features (and dispersal!)
