I agree that they are excessive, but at least they took the place of those godawful Slim Jim commercials.

"Dubba-dubba ee champ-yuns!" Ugh...

Advertising keep sites like this that have a massively high volume of subscribers and users online without having to charge a members fee.

Just do something else for the 30-45 seconds the ad is playing.

Okay, so I understand something's gotta pay the bills and ads keep the site alive but MY GOD. I'm catching up on Zero Punctuation videos and before each and every one I see the same StarCraft II ad. Okay, that's understandable but a a little variety might be nice. Add to that though that at the top of my screen, is a looping StarCraft II banner ad, showing essentially the same ad in an infinite loop and to the right of my screen is the same ad in a slightly more squarish form, showing the same video in the same loop just half a second behond the ad on the top. I wouldn't care if you branded the whole site in StarCraft II regalia (again, something's got to pay the bills), but can you not make all the videos loop with no way to stop them? To top it all off, I already own the game! Seriously, after six Zero Punctuation episodes I'm actually regretting my purchase. Is there any way you could channel this feedback back up to your ad network or whomever is buying the space?

Sorry for the rant. Anyone else at the end of their rope?

Buy Escapist Gold Membership (or what is it called again?) and skip the ads :D

It's called Publisher's Club. And it's definately worth it. I always forget how nice it is not having to watch ads until someone makes a thread complaining about the ads and reminds me. And the other benefits are nice too.

"OH right... poor poor people seing ads"

by the way, my motto of the momment is
