I'm sure you've seen it.

Grainy video... then flashing 10 UberXtreme Rage Against The Machine angry gamer dudes, one every 1/10th of a second yelling something or looking generally RAGING. And it doesn't stop there. It loops every 5 seconds making whatever page you're trying to look at completely unreadable.

This has to be the most obnoxious web ad I've ever seen, short of the ones that simply just strobe two colors. Who in the hell would see this obnoxiously strobing ad and want to buy the product?

Am I out of the loop, or is this the average gamer these days? Does someone actually see this ad and say "OHH SHIT! THEMS MY PEEPS! I'm totally angry and raging like them, I gots to SEE what this COMRADE thing is!"

I took a class on marketing once.
I understand it even less now.

why would anyone use gamespy comrade?
Xfire has been the gold standard for the better part of this millenium

If you don't know what I'm talking about, VE3D seems to be running it nonstop:

Can't you use an ad blocker?

Best part of the software is that it isn't as good as Xfire, yet the memory footprint is 4X as large. They expect people to run this in the background while they game?

I hate gamespy, so god damn much.

Bah, I turned off Adblock and can't get it to show up.
