Sometimes I wonder about the ads on Destructoid (NVGR)
TheToiletDuck \| 6:44 AM on 05.28.2009	12 comments

I'm genuinely all for Destructoid being ad supported, i usually get a smile out of an ad for a lesbian RPG coming up in a BAN THIS SICK FILTH post. This one 'suggest your DREAM pc' ad for WEPC is a little bit... err unimaginative though.

Exhibit a)

Umm... Isn't EVERY* screen glow-in-the-dark? *my apologies to the Gameboy/Advance

Exhibit b)

Hardly a dream PC, dual monitors have been around for years and years. Hell, my shitty laptop at work is connected to a monitor thus making it a dual monitor PC.
Also,

Exhibit c)

Laptops with built in remotes have been around for a while too. Not to mention the Pandora

Come on WEPC, what about Smello-vision, PC's with bobble head hula girls, a laptop with keys made of chocolate... DREAM BIG DAMMIT! I'll give them the 'holographic' display one, but i'd say the keyboard would get a bit messy if people use it for what i think they will (i.e. what EVERYONE will use it for).

I guess that's why they need you to submit your dreams.

As a point of note, everyone should click on that link and support Destructoid. If you use an ad-blocker, make an exception for Destructoid, it won't hurt you to see ads on one page and sometimes the ads can be unintentionally thought provoking... or you might get to see some anime softcore furry rpg pr0n.

Hell, you might even get a shitty blog-post out of it.

.... I'm sorry, you said something about lesbians?

Oh and isn't that multiple monitor array the one Batman used to find the Joker in the Dark Knight?!?

On the Glow In the Dark part, I think they wanted to make the whole "Ambience Vision" thing the Sharp HD TVs had going, at least I think it was sharp.

On the Dual Screen, I think they meant laptops, and if you didn't, think they wanted said PC to come with multiple screens, already connected and working out of the box, instead of you buying them.

And Pandora sucks dicks.

The new Terminator is scored by Danny Elfman?

Now that's an informative ad.

Ah, I don't even pay attention to the ads, after a while your eyes just learn to skip over them.

I thought you were referring to the Ford ads that have been pushing out of their ad space and into the rest of the screen. Bullshit.

Also, that monitor setup doesn't seem real to me.

about me
Wall of text deleted Woo I'm 27, NZ expat living in Scotland and I've got a raging clue for video games. I'm a scientist by trade (peddling science from town to town), and have spent the last two years working on fungi (fun fact: the ones mixed with chocolate in Amsterdam are the best). It was a wicked job and i got to listen to a lot of podcasts while working. Which was handy for keeping up on video game news. Now, i study Malaria and still listen to lots of podcasts as a means to take my mind off all the rodent lives I've taken (yes, i also cackle and have no less than 3 disabled servants). I've always been a big console gamer growing up (the C64 was a console right? ahh what do you know..), have owned most of the past consoles that were available in New Zealand, and own all the current gen systems. Disposable Income? hell yeah! Games I'm currently playing: Batman Arkham Asylum (ps3) Resident Evil 4 (ps3) inFAMOUS (Ps3) Team Fortress 2 (PC) Worms 2 (XBLA) Must Eat Birds (iphone) Street Fighter IV (360) Games I've recently completed: Red Faction Guerrilla (Ps3) Prince of Persia (360) Mirrors Edge (360) Lego Star Wars Backlog: Half Life 2 Episodes 1 and 2 Dead Space (1/2 way through) Fallout 3 Bioshock (on Hard, finished on normal) The Simpsons (360) Games i've recently tried and haven't enjoyed: Prototype Saints Row 2 Killzone 2 Soul Calibur 4 Lego Indiana Jones Games i absolutely love: Team Fortress 2 Katamari Damacy Xenogears Prince of Persia: Sands of Time Giana Sisters (c64) Final Fantasy IX (psx) Sonic the Hedgehog (Genesis) Day of the Tentacle Monkey Island series Legacy of Kain series Soul Calibur 2 Street Fighter 3 : IIIrd Strike Rival Schools (aka Project Justice) Raiden Fighters II First game i remember playing Frogger Some Destructoid Mosaics i made using avatars and wallpapers.
