I'm ambivalent about ads as a method for generating revenue; what I loathe is the high annoyance factor that most of them have. Pop-ups, pop-unders, flashing primary colours, loud noises, malware, spyware, deceptive practices ('you are a winner, click here to claim your prize', 'Windows has detected a vulnerability. Click here to fix.')- this is what I'm blocking.
If ads are quiet, honest, don't track my every move, and get my attention through being clever, witty, intriguing, or interesting, I'll allow them. Heck, I might even click on them.
Annoy me just once, however, and they're gone. It's that simple.
It's nice, but it's just not Crayon Physics ( http://www.kloonigames.com/crayon/ http://crayon-physics.blogspot.com/ ); it feels too rigid, too controlled, too- clean, and not like a child's drawing.
My biggest gripes are that here's absolutely no clipping of shapes, while that's good from the point that everything is stable (one of CP's weaknesses is that overlapping shapes 'spaz out' and fly across the screen), it also means that you can't create a lever under the ball to catapult it across the screen.
Also, if you get three of four flags but loose the ball, you have to start from scratch. >.<

Big deal. I just split *this* thread. :P
As opposed to all the famous things that famous people did throughout the entire history of humankind?
