(Bioshock Ad) OMG no sounds pls
Looks good, but I don't want to have to drag my cursor around it every time I navigate a page to avoid hearing noises that interrupt my music. I think it would be a good idea to require a direct interaction with the advert rather than just a mouse over. A click on a specific button in the ad would be more suitable I think. I know advertisers want to engage us, but I make the decision to disregard an advert before I make the decision to consider what it's telling me.

I could always mute Google Chrome I suppose, but I think that's a Windows 7 feature that peasants using Vista, XP or OSX don't have ;P

Just thought I'd share in case you wanted some feedback Smile

Tbh, isn't that like the pinnacle of advertising? To get your attention to the product?

Oh yeah, why're you using Chrome? It's FireFox with a different skin.

Out of curiosity what kind of online ads do you tend to engage with the most? IE some have trailers built in, some offer pre-order incentives, some even have small flash games in. What advice would you have for advertisers that want to reach you?

With feedback like this perhaps we can improve the quality of the ads and make them more relevent to you guys.

Informative, yet not too distracting i.e. sounds etc.
