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?!?

What about Munchables?

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.

pandora! do want, must get... MUST GET

Solgrim

Lol. Glow in the dark screens.

brainderailment

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.

Holyetheline

I rock duel screens at work.

Toneman

I want a laptop with a laptop in it.

HOW MANY WOLVES HAVE TO DIE?!

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

about me

sWall 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!
