i think its been about a week since I was last able to load Kotaku.com up. I also cant load any other gawker media site. I've loading the site in firefox, internet explorer, and chrome and they all do the same thing. I've also tried all three browsers on a different computer in the house with the same result.

I've cleared my cache and history a few times, I've looked at my firewall and made sure nothing is blocking the site, and ran my maleware program.

I've had this problem happen before and it seemed like it went away after about two days. So i figured it was a problem with the site and not my pc.

I changed the dns to googles dns and it works now.(thank you) Was wondering now though does that mean it was a problem with my DNS and is it normal for a problem like that to happen, and why it can just happen. Also will changing my dns cause any other problems?
