Amen.

At first glance I thought this would be about rollover-minute ads, which are hilarious.

And remember, "I'm-a Luigi, number one!"

especially on crappy computers where you cannot stop the ad from taking over

I hate those ads that play automatically, and suddenly a car or baloons fly over my screen.

That's when the fun begins, looking for that "CLOSE" tab or that little "X" symbol to close the thing as fast as possible before the animation (with sound) starts and lags your computer.

Sometimes they don't even put those in. That's ****ing infuriating.

You know what sucks? You roll over it to get to what you want to click on, then when you find the X, you go back to click on it again, and you over shoot the link and do it again.

FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFUUU UUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU

I hate them.

Luckily, VGF is devoid of them for the most part.
