Alienware PCs are cool as fuck, I'm sure you build one for much less money but I'm still very impressed with what I've seen of them

edit - not that it matters when they're free

It's not an ad. He said "on the left".

If you're going down the sponsor everything route can I have koti embossed on the EG loo roll?

You could give your customers half price games if they let you brand them with a red hot iron KOTI stamp

You adblocked the PC category's background image? My word. How anal.

No, just the alienware picture which goes over the top of it. Stop nit picking.

Just spotted it's an image rather than a background. I'm not really nitpicking to be honest, I just think it's a bit pathetic. Surely you must have better things to do with your time? It's not like it's a moving, flashing, clikable ad or anything is it? Does it honestly sap your enjoyment of a site that much to see a little brand name sitting there?

I think it's called advertising, and one of the ways the EG stays free...

Deleted user 22 November 2005 19:55:23

Why, getting wound? Not really, I just don't really agree with the practice of ad-blocking of unobtrusive advertising on legit sites whose services you use. Especially to the extremes you've taken it to.

Ungrateful bastards.

That's exactly what I'm getting at.

Presumably "Playstation 3" and "Xbox 360" are ads too...
