I know, I know, we all hate advertising in all forms.

But, we all love Giant Bomb.

Thus, I have personally decided to click on ads occasionally just to get those stats up.  I clicked on a few of the Gears 2 ads.  It took me to the Xbox.com Gears 2 page.  It literally only took a second of my time, and somewhere out there a number in a database went up, and someone became more inclined to give Giant Bomb money.

Consider this a sort of grassroots fundraising campaign, but instead of donating directly, we're donating indirectly.

:)

EDIT


Do what Jayge says:
"Click on them once or twice a week, but no more. Most ad providers have anti-abuse clauses written into their little agreements. To violate that would cost GB their ad revenue."

Well, 100 point review scales are asinine and backwards.

It's not "inaccurate", it's math.  Blame the developer & publishers who place importance in Metacritic.

None of it adds up because a 7/10 on IGN might be an 8/10 somewhere else which might be 3/5 stars here which might be a 5/10 somewhere that uses an actual 1-10 scale.

Essentially what I'm getting at is fuck people who care about review scores.  Go cry in the Fable 2 review comments section.

So you're whining about Metacritic, but wouldn't you have had to be browsing Metacritic in the first place to see that?

Looks like someone was searching Giant Bomb for "naked".

Yeah, yeah. Blame my fangirlism, but I honestly do not see a resemblance... And I'm not the only one! I don't think Jolly is a fanboy for Kamiya, so... Explain that Mr. Vaxa-smacks!"
Simple explanation.  He is.
