They've been around for a few weeks now. The fact that you've just seen your first one is proof that they aren't hammering us over the head with them.

I would say that the mods should lock this thread, but apparently they're running short on locks tonight.

Considering that most of the videos on the site are like 20 minutes long, I don't think you can complain about one ad before a video.

Its still begining so it has to start small. Besides i never said they were hammering us with ads, I just stated a simple fact, so don't go putting words in my mouth.

Not really a big deal. They are making money, which they really deserve. Ad-block+ disabled on Giantbomb for the win.

video ads have been running for close to a month. They started with some Batman stuff and continued with the ODST ones.

They aren't called "adds." They're actually "ads." Cause it comes from the word "advertisement."

Ok, well since I never said you said that, how about you don't go putting words in my mouth.
