On November 18, 2013, almost exactly one decade ago, PC Gamer editor Evan Lahti casually rotated his monitor to give a colleague from our sister site GamesRadar a better view of the screen and the giant number in its center.
It was over 9,000. It was over 10,000, and still going up—on any given normal day in 2013, PCGamer.com might have 1,200 people reading it simultaneously, but on this day traffic was 10 times the usual and climbing. Evan had introduced the Large Pixel Collider, a "computer of uncomfortable power," and an r/Games post about the LPC went viral, hitting the front page of Reddit a few hours later. That's the kind of success you really have to rub in a coworker's face at least a little bit.
