- Choosing Your Own Ad Experience
- People Who Don't Use Their Turn Signal
- False Advertising

Ads are the worst part of basically everything, they're only meant for women. Often they make zero sense, and the majority of the time it's just white noise while you play on your phone. Advertisers are trying to give you a voice in what you consume though and now we get a Mass Effect 3 option to decide what color ad we want jammed down our throat. Spoilers, we don't want any.

Are you turning or are you going straight ahead through that farmers market and off the edge of the earth into oblivion. Oh you are going to kill that family of four, alright my mistake then. 90% of the time that isn't what happens, 90% of the time the guy turns left and you weren't sure what the fuck he was doing because his turn signal wasn't on. Thanks for the heads up you giant front hole.

The only thing worse than choosing an ad experience is being lured in with a big fat lie. Whether it's a "crossover event" that isn't eventful and has no cross over, or a mobile game that is using footage from something else entirely to make you play, it's infuriating. Are you so ashamed of your product you have to hide it behind lies and deceit? Oh the answer is yes, ok well thanks for letting me know.

Thank you to all of our Patrons this month, we hope you'll keep subscribing and supporting the show.
