No hints needed, it's all pretty self explanatory. 
 
But what do you all think of this new kind of quest?  
I like what they did with it, it's a neat way to help out the site.
 
Edit: Damn double posting, end this one please, or the other one, whichever. Haha

I think this is a great way to get ad revenue and at the same time provide content and fun. I approve!

It's The Last Airbender of Giantbomb quest points.

Nice, original way to get some ad revenue.

The funny thing is, there are no Best Buys in New Zealand. Your advertising does nothing to me... NOTHING! 
 
I think it's a cool idea, plus, whatever puts dough on the proverbial table.

You mean The Burning Earth, right?

I find it a "gargantuan" waste of my time.
 
Well, not really, this is the smart advertising I'm looking for. I kinda wish the quests were a little more related to Best Buy, or the laptops they are trying to sell.
 
And yes, I did that for the quest.
 BE IMPRESSED, FRIENDS,  BY MY FABULOUS VOCABULARY!

A nice way to do ad revenue and I hope they'll do it for future games as well like a Littlebigplanet 2 one or Dead Space 2.

Interesting way to get me to click on an ad.   Cause I'm gonna do it.  I can't not get easy EXP.  I can't not do it.   I am compelled by EXP!

Seems simple which is excellent, not sure how I feel about the click to an external link quest though.

@RecSpec: 
 
I deleted the other post as this one got replies! 
 
In other news, I think sponsored quests are a-ok. Seems like the kind of unobtrusive advertising folks around here (both staff and users) would appreciate.

@Video_Game_King:  Right.

On occasion, I tend to enjoy the Best Buy. However, these quests seem kind of random, and having a quest actually go to a page to buy one of their laptops is kinda....odd.

They did seem unusually easy.

My thoughts?  FIRST TO FINISH AHAHAHA.  Yeah... anyways, it doesn't bother me at all.  Good way to get some profits for the site.

I think it's cool as hell. Probably the neatest way to work in advertising.

Great way to cash in on people's obsession with achievements :o

Ads in quests is weird... and kinda scary...

As others have said, I think it's an interesting way to combine advertising with the site. It's better than having gigantic graphics taking up the entire homepage background.
