You guys'll tell us when such an emergency happens of course, right?

Ahaha. There's not much chance it will, especially with the name change

I like how two of the football ones are the same picture and they swapped out the background.

The reason why I haven't been here much is because I'm usually here while at work, and since we moved offices, my monitor is now facing OUTWARD where EVERYBODY can see what I'm wasting my time on.

Everybody does it, but I'd prefer there to be less of the sexy ads while I'm surfing at work.

I don't know why I currently get sexy ads at work, and unsexy ads at home.  If ads are necessary, I would much rather be bombarded with stuff about some crappy screensavers or some diploma thingy than busty chicks.

In a way thats wrong.  You might want to try portable firefox with the adblock Plus.  Or Ad muncher for IE.  Whatever you can manage at work.

Though I do wish more game related ads would show up.  You know this a game site.  I mean there has to be some game company that wants to advertise here, like Gamefly be a good idea.

Yeah, you'd think that since this is a game site, ads for games make the most sense.

The saddest part of the True ads is that they prey upon the stupidity of their potential customers. They'd have better luck if they had pictures of women who looked like they might actually be real rather than pictures which are clearly done in a professional photo studio or are CGI.

Typical digital camera photos would be a lot more convincing. Better yet, pictures of women playing video games. I'm sure they'd get a lot more hits if they claimed to have women like that on the sites.

I'm suddenly reminded of that picture of the naked chick with her various parts covered up by a conviently placed SNES w/controllers.
Just some random guy on the internet who has a different opinion of games than you.

I haven't gotten a true ad all day.

This makes me happy.

Apparently, True truly sucks.

I think it's evident by that ad that "True" favors decapitation of women or at least doesn't view it as an obstacle to being "with" them.
