I'm expecting 11/10s all across the board, boys.

Haha, fair enough.

The difference between us and CNET/Gamespot is that Federated Media handles our ads -- they are a totally different company that has nothing to do with Destructoid staff. Unless I become a total cunt there's no funny business otherwise :)

Also, Turning Point gets an 11/10! Also, never heard of it :)

Indeed. I know I'm not really a fan of huge overbearing ads either, but, like Reaprar said, it's not the first time this has happened.

If I am paid in corn dogs, Turning Point will get 20 out of 8 John Teshes.

Nothing against you Niero, but I usually don't think that Dtoid's ads really have much to do with how the staff feels anyway. Typically the only time we see big ads is when you guys are doing a contest or something of the sort. Don't expect it to last too long Sarge.

@ Zero

I'm not too concerned. This was just the first image that popped into my head and I thought it was funny enough to execute through a quick photoshop.

@ Niero

Thanks for the clarification on how the ads are handled. And thank you for stopping by my lil' old cblog.

I'd rather see it die young at it's prime than to end up like Elvis: Bloated, washed up, and sitting on the crapper when its time comes. :)

Ads are ads. Destructoid needs teh monies to run like anything else. None of it has anything to do with the editors so there's no big deal.

Right? You'd better agree with me, Cheesecake. Or else will have a LOLCAT-off. You don't wanna' fuck with my google skills.

I can't win in a LOLCAT-off, so you win by default.

But I do agree with you anyways, disgustingly cute furballs or not.

It takes money to run an online community. It can't come from everyone's pocket. Hell, they could just make this a site where you have to pay to be a member, how would like that?

yeah settle down man, the ads for this site are way less intrusive than almost every other gaming site out there. Learn to love what you've got man!

I love Dtoid with all of my heart and thought that this would get more of a laugh from the readers here than what I've got so far. I can't believe so many people believe I'm being serious.

I know websites aren't free so on and so forth. I thought this was funny, so I made it. Are you butthurt?

Good, enjoy it.

That last part wasn't meant to sound so angry towards you, Final.

I keep my browser at a much thinner width, so I don't even see the side ads. That being said, I understand Dtoid needs money, but there have to be better ways than plastering the entire front page with a giant ad.

I must admit I was proturbed by the triple-paned ad, especially in light of the Gamespot bitching. I seriously thought it was a joke at first, considering the game seemed very... generic.

Money is needed to run the site certainly, but I've seen lots of sites that manage to make a living off of just a single banner ad rather than covering their entire page.

Also I don't see how saying "the ads have nothing to do with us" is considered a good thing. Why shouldn't you be looking at the ads you bring in? Why shouldn't you be trying to advertise games that you actually think are great and should be looked at by your fellow gamers? It would seem like that should be the standard to strive for.

This coming from someone who has no clue about advertising or business or blogging or anything, so probably what I've written is totally unfeasible, but that doesn't mean we can't bitch about it anyway.

I think it's somewhat disturbing that you can't control the ads shown on your own site. >_>: Do you at least, like, get veto power or something, Neiro? If Federated Media wants to advertise tranny porn across the top of Destructoid in the future, can you turn down that?
