You know the ones I'm talking about. The ones that take up the entire screen, darkening the field of view until the little x button finally appears. Those ads are the most annoying ads I've ever seen on Destructoid.

I am okay with all of the other ads on the site, banner, button, wraparound, heck I wouldn't like interstitial ads, but I could deal with them. These ads, however, have caused me to re-enable adblock until they're gone. I had turned off Adblock completely, but I hadn't uninstalled it yet. I like to support sites, but these ads are a reminder to why I installed it in the first place. Giant, awkward, annoying ads that prohibit me from actually reading the site.

This may seem kind of whiny, and it is, but this is just one level above those hard-to-find square ads that talk to you and play music. I don't want Dtoid to go there. I always liked that Destructoid didn't fall into those highly irritating advertising traps, and I don't like that now it's part of the problem of online ads.
