Dead Space 2, LA Noir, Portal 2 and surprisingly Deus Ex. Deus Ex grew on me, especially when I did a completely unstealthy murderous rampage playthrough.
The information is there. The time for the livestream. The ad is there because it's a fucking ad-driven quest. They didn't lie, it says the marketing that goes along with these inconsequential ad-driven quests will show up. You even bolded the line yourself.
The front page ad needs to link to the live stream page, an internal WM page. That is what I mean by emphasis on WM content. Also I didn't say they lied. In fact, my final sentence was me stating my criticisms was not the same as claiming that lied to me as others in the thread are doing. I do not believe this was done for the purpose of being shady, but simply ad placement that has caused unintentional conflict with the perks of a subscription.
Okay I can agree with the unintentional conflict. But the linking thing is obvious. Ads don't work like that.
We've made the assumption that our members would be more disappointed on missing out on the extra XP and prizes that go along with ad-sponsored quests than seeing the marketing that goes along with those campaigns. In general, our No-Ad policy only covers display and video advertising and will not cover interactive contests, quests and other opportunities the whole community might benefit from.
That statement would suggest in the inclusion of ad-sponsored quests for subscribers will place the primary emphasis on the quest, secondary emphasis on the advertised product. The ad in question has it every much backwards, with the emphasis being directing you to an off-site location. A better way of handling it would have been making the ad link to a page for the live stream with another ad located on that page that goes off-site. WM content needs to get top billing in any ad-sponsored quests and such.
The statement doesn't suggest anything about emphasis. Though it does say anything ad related to a quest will show up. You're arguing about petty details on a banner, a banner that is quest related. A subscription doesn't give you the right to tell them how to run the site.
That piece of text I bolded is what I'm drawing the emphasis from. It indicates what they believe subscribers are looking for in a ad-sponsored quest: information on the quest or content itself. I also do not believe I have done any telling of how to run a site. I have not made any demands, nor given any ultimatums. I have voiced concerns and I have given potential alternatives, but that is hardly the same as claiming GB lied to us.

My favorite moment had nothing to do with the game. But I recognized the Scramblz they went to for Jen's birthday and I found it pretty awesome that they made the game near where i lived.

In terms of the mailbag video I think it's pretty obvious. Ryan and Jeff are west coasters, Vinnie's from the east, and Brad's a southerner. So they've probably had or at least heard of most energy drink/food product in the US. Why make a mailbag about trivial things they can find everyday. Where as shit from outta country is cool.
