I just got an ad that lasted NINETY seconds, including blasting a ****ty song.
Not only would I never play a game that is advertised with such an obnoxious ad, I also seriously considered activating Adblock on armorgames.
Pease don't drive your customers into doing that with this kind of advertisement.

Yeah. In future, you might want to save the bombast and petty hostility for after you've reported the ad to AG (they will need a screenshot at the very least and some time to look into whatever you're complaining about).

Also, as a bit of personal advice, the mute button is a powerful tool which you too can exploit. I encourage you to have it at the ready whenever you're on the internet.

@1401Ger I sometimes mute just the game window whenever a game loads, let's me still listen to my music whilst playing. Right click, mute tab.

@FishPreferred: petty hostility? I called an ad obnoxious, I did not say anything negative about armorgames. And I was under the impression to use the feedback forum to give feedback. I have no clue what you are on about.
@nichodemus: Thanks for the advice. A lot more helpful than the condescending blast of FishPreferred

@1401Ger If an ad is especially bad, please capture a screenshot and post it here. I'll look into it.

@1401Ger not to pile on, but just for future reference, a complaint is taken less seriously when it has swearing in it.

Also, when you're complaining about the quality of a song used in an ad, you have less merit than if you were to complain about the ad playing the song ridiculously loud without warning.

I agree that advertisements should have waveform regulation but that's not something that anyone can administer without a lot of effort.
