Please stop. Normally, I'm not bothered by it, but the LBP3 ad was too much. I don't appreciate the ENTIRE page being taken over by Sack Boys and then scrunched up like paper where I can barely see anything. It's bad enough you plaster your backgrounds with upcoming games. You honestly DON'T need ads to be THIS annoying.

@JustPlainLucas:

Tough luck, really.

Also, you might want to know that you can block images (including entire background objects) with AdBlock Plus, because, seriously, don't expect a solution from GameSpot.

Furthermore, I would be more pissed off about the in-video ads which tend to go into GameSpot UK 's and GameSpot AU's videos - mainly because I can't block these.

Yeah, but when you're at work, and your administrator doesn't allow you to install plug-ins, then AdBlock is useless. (we're allowed to be on the net during downtime and breaks)

Even tougher luck for you, really.

Also, are you sure that you can't alter any settings on your computer to allow that? Or exploit any Wi-Fi coverage?

I'm pretty sure adblock is a basic human right these days. I'd contact your union.
