Seriously invasive advert this one. The audio starts automatically and is f***ing annoying.

Deleted user 1 December 2008 11:22:14

Yep, really annoying. Why do the adds on the front page have to be so big anyway? It just looks stupid. Does Eurogamer get more money the bigger the add is or something?

It's still not as irritating as the Shaun White Snowboarding one. /shakes fist

Can I just say that this is comfortably the worst ad they've had on the site, and I don't really need a lot more encouragement to not visit the front page at all.

You guys see the ads?!

If an advert is in any way invasive, block it to death, and don't feel bad about doing so.

Deleted user 2 December 2008 14:48:56

Fuck off Animal fucking Crossing.

I turned off my adblocker and it doesn't seem so bad, can't hear any sound from it and it doesn't overlap anywhere it shouldn't. What's wrong with it?

Please get rid of it, or tell me the part of the page to adblock

Poor poor work on the part of whatever ad network runs Eurogamers Ads, hopefully it is sorted now.

If I hear that theme tune ONE MORE FUCKING TIME, I'm going to hurt someone or something*

(*in all probability myself)

Sort it out, it's driving me fucking nuts.

It just shat liberally all over the guitar solo on Heart-Shaped Box. Time to die you insistant little bastard.

I will berate you all if this happens again. Brighton isn't so far away.

Are you taking the piss?

If you are not then I'll tell.

It's a wonderful game AC. You just sort of potter about and try to pay off your mortgage by selling stuff, fishing, planting stuff.etc.etc.

All the while the residents of your town come and go. It's quite unique and really rather excellent.

Its only a good game if it has a boss battle, obviously.

(Sarcasm, anyway the ads still running, really annoying

)

Boss battle in Animal Crossing...I sense a contest.

Come up with the best design and Nintendo will put it into the next game!

Yeah, don't expect an EG staff response over this one... Or basically any other adverts used on the site.

Damn - that ad is back again. Come on EG, don't make me adblock this site - I'm more than willing to put up with ads here, except when they autoplay music.

Deleted user 7 December 2008 19:37:14

Come on guys, that advert is the worst most annoying advert you've ever had. You damn well better have been paid shit loads for it. Cause I refuse to click through on anything until it FUCKS OFF.

Clearly it's effective. It seems to be grabbing all your attentions

I'm actually looking for it, cos it sounds rad =D

EDIT: THAT'S SO COOL. How can you all hate that?

I turned off ad-blocking for the site and all I see is an ugly Gears of War 2 ad. I feel cheated.

Thank fuck that Animal Crossing is gone now, every time I opened up the home page it started with it's annoying shitty music.

Awesome this ad is back, but it has a volume control so I have to manually turn it on in both ads. I start one and then wait a few seconds for the other so I get the soundtrack playing twice slightly out of sync. Brilliant excuse to wear the 'phones at work all day and look at the site.

Cannot wait to mess about with the song in Wii Music, though I have no interest in Animal Crossing as a game.
