And Zenith, every time you come up with a crazy plan to stage a revolt, just remember Tianamen Square.
Last time I checked the VALVe employees were not as rich or powerful as the chinese government. Donkeys represents the kind of power VALVe can thwart on us. VALVe is full of greedy, self-centered and condescending bastards for lack of a better word. They need to consider an alternative to angering their current client base and find a way to appeal to more customers all-around. We all know CS:Source was a flop because it's more CPU intensive, any noob can own, and the game is more easily hacked/manipulated and glitched than any mod before it. Those are just my two cents so if you don't like it, deal with it. VALVe is like EA, corporate greed getting to their heads.

I think the Looney Toons picture was a bit out of place, but otherwise I agree!

I removed the Looney Toons picture but I used it before just to show that VALVe is a bunch of morons.

slmclarengt: They're as powerful as the Chinese military, within their own jurisdiction. Steam bans for everyone that revolts, maybe? It was a joke anyway.

Can't someone just write a plugin that puts something over these ads? I.E. Can't we loop through all entities to find the retarded ads + over-write them? Or are the textures not considered entities?

Josh

Edit: My bad yea can't loop through entities b/c client side - but couldn't we still display something like 1 pixel out over top of it?

That really doesn't make too much sense. Overlay an opaque sprite ontop of a monstrosity in the map to make it look more out of place?

If someone made some texture-like sprites that would maybe look a bit better though..

I played around with that a little bit, but you have to get the lighting right for the textures to make it look nice. Maybe just taking screenshots of the wall before the ad would work for making a good enough sprite. I'll give it another try later.

Or, you could overlay a sprite that says something like "Valve sucks donkey balls". Then, get your clients to take screenshots and post them all over the steam forums.
