You can give up trying to prove me a hack, i've never done it.
Furthermore, if you do think you've found a hack, post it here
but for christ's sakes stop harrasing me in game, i've had enough of you.

I suspect that's a generic address for RoadRunner's network operations center or similar administrative center. But Roadrunner operates all over the country, and assigns IPs from the blocks they own as they see fit, even though those IPs are assigned to the Virginia-based address.
If I'm going to try and geolocate from an IP address, I'm going to look and see if there's a geographic DNS entry tied to it (dig -x [ip address] from the command line in OS X/Linux. Dunno what the equivalent Windows command would be). For example, at home I use Charter Cable. And Charter assigns DNS entries to their IP addresses like this:
xxx-xxx-xxx-xxx.dhcp.mdsn.wi.charter.com
WI = Wisconsin, MDSN = Madison.
I looked up bigGERMAN's IP, and got:
cpe-76-xxx-xx-xxx.tx.res.rr.com
TX = Texas. RES is probably "residential" versus a business customer, I'm guessing.
So now you know.
