Support NeoGAF

[Choomp]

Lololol what the fuck

 

[Ahasverus]

South Park was right

 

[Fbh]

Does anyone ever go like:

"Oh yeah this thing which just took over my screen and is keeping me from the content I actually wanted to see...... I want to buy one of these now!!"

 

[TheGreatDirector]

What if Gaf was just one giant ad?

 

[Leafhopper]

What if Gaf was just one giant ad?

It isn't already?

 

[Gattsu25]

Pretty sure I would remove my bookmark for a site if they ran that style of ad campaign.

 

[labx]

That was something else. Like a Transformer or something, the page became the ad that became the page.

 

[ghostjoke]

That's actually really impressive, horrifying but impressive. Fuck anyone involved with this regardless.

Another part of me is wondering if this is a meta-ad for the new season of South Park.

 

[DeBurgo]

Future of ads and I'm pretty impressed

the future of ads looks a lot like the past of ads

 

[Coffee Dog]

What if Gaf was just one giant ad?

Someone doesn't use mobile!

 

[Earthstrike]

I'm just watching that ad thinking "Damn, OP got fucking played" You can tell by the mouse cursor you're just like "wtf?"

 

[hypernima]

lmao, that ad was like "thought you was"

 

[leakey]

Wow. That fake site looks almost like gamefaqs or something. Would have fooled me.

 

[Ran rp]

the pointer is killing me ahaha

 

[whitehawk]

I'm laughing histarically lmao op.

 

[Spoiled Milk]

That looks like a pretty decent hybrid computer, right?

 

[Drazgul]

Can't wait for the porn ads with a design that pops.

 

[turmoil]

And now hundreds of persons will see the ad thanks to you OP.

Just as keikaku

 

[The Dutch Slayer]

Lol. Everyone in this thread:

OP is Kif.

I will admit it is both horrifying and impressive at the same time.

SO TRUE !

 

[Nokterian]

South Park was right al a long..ads are evolving.

 

[Vermillion]

Google is going to start punishing pop-up ads on mobile on the SERP, so I definitely wouldn't expect ads like this to become commonplace. It's bad UX, which is in turn bad marketing.

 

[Tom Nook Sawyer]

Eh, Nintendo did this years ago

It ate the content!

 

[Hektor]

Lol gamestar is notorious and well known for being one of the worst sites on the German interweb in regards to ads.

You should see the ads you're getting if you browse the website *with* adblock.

The funny thing is that just some time ago they promised to only use fair and non intrusive advertising if people disable their adblock error. Well, you see what happened.

 

[Vuze]

And that's exactly why you do whitelist browsing.
GameStar is horrible, uBlock shows 20+ blocked requests on the site you linked.

I had the site whitelisted in AdBlock but actually Ghostery was running at the time. Would Ghostery even block stuff like this?

 

[shadowsdarknes]

It seems that advertisers still haven't figured out unintrusive advertising.

 

[studyguy]

Ad block every site all the time forever. No exceptions.

 

[GrantDaNasty]

While I don't use AdBlocker (after hearing about how much certain sites rely on ad revenue if there's no paywall), that ad seems fucking obnoxious.

It's a neat trick, but if I see it more tham once a week, I'm gonna flip.

 

[Hoo-doo]

Look at all this content.

SYKE!

Intel Core i7, get yours today!

 

[The Real Abed]

While I admire the technology of it, I'd find it as annoying as a "join our newsletter to read the text" message or a full screen pop up with a tiny close button you can't hit.

 

[SJRB]

Page takeovers are the absolute worst.

 

[Bilix]

That was actually pretty funny. I'd hate to see it happen a lot though.

 

[Big Nikus]

Lol. Everyone in this thread:

I will admit it is both horrifying and impressive at the same time.

lol, perfect

 

[RDreamer]

That was rad as fuck.

 

[exmachina64]

If an internet ad mades me fear for the security of my PC or phone for even a second then it failed as an ad.

As long as malicious ads are still commonplace, then I will never find this cool.

What if it's an ad for security software?

Just imagine this ad pops up and instead of being an ad for Acer, it asks "Are you safe?"

 

[MegaManTrigger]

This style of ad is just waiting to be abused. Especially if your target is not computer-savvy.

 

[AJLma]

Lmao. Lots of potential here.

 

[gamma]

The thing is the site actually has a subscription service for like 4,99€ a month. It gets rid of the ads and some other perks. So I'm wondering if they are trying to push that by making more cancer ads like this one.

 

[Dreams-Visions]

Cool unless it happens on your screen. Fuck that nonsense.

 

[ebullientprism]

I would permanently abandon any site where this happened.

Cool idea though.

Yep. Any site that does this is instantly off the list of sites to visit.

 

[Rest]

To think, I'll never experience that, because I don't click ads.

 

[FinKL]

I JUST saw the Ad South Park Episode

But this is Amazing lol

 

[Timeaisis]

It's like your INSIDE the ad.

 

[Messofanego]

Ad block every site all the time forever. No exceptions.

No exceptions?

 

[Wizard of GAF]

PowerPoint slide pop up??

We have come full circle bois.

 

[gamma]

No exceptions?

He said site. GAF isn't just a mere site.

 

[Wizard of GAF]

Ad block every site all the time forever. No exceptions.

Beware of ambush.

 

[Pryce]

That actually incredible!

But also actually horrible.

 

[Googledotcom666]

Thank you jesus for ad blockers

Not now a lot of sites are restricting dam ad blockers from content!

Or is there another way I'm missing?
