Reaper man Posted September 3, 2007 Posted September 3, 2007 hmm, I wonder if you could HOSTS block the mcdonalds ads? :3 still though, pretty cool... something just dawned on my though, why the flock does Mcdonald's need to advertise?! I mean who DOESN'T know about Mcflockingdonalds?!
Ahmad89 Posted September 3, 2007 Posted September 3, 2007 hmm, I wonder if you could HOSTS block the mcdonalds ads? :3 still though, pretty cool... something just dawned on my though, why the flock does Mcdonald's need to advertise?! I mean who DOESN'T know about Mcflockingdonalds?!What is this McDonald's you talk about???? But as for the free games, awesome, except the fact that i already played them
Robert Posted September 3, 2007 Posted September 3, 2007 At over 500 megs each, no thanks. The promotion would be over way before my download finished.
Mag Posted September 3, 2007 Posted September 3, 2007 there's ads? I wouldnt mind getting farcry again. Is there also wait time? damn.. I forgotten my fileplanet account, need to register again ;
Mooney Posted September 3, 2007 Posted September 3, 2007 Good thing I've been too lazy to download any of these games before they became legal!
Hawq Posted September 5, 2007 Posted September 5, 2007 hmm, I wonder if you could HOSTS block the mcdonalds ads? :3 still though, pretty cool... something just dawned on my though, why the flock does Mcdonald's need to advertise?! I mean who DOESN'T know about Mcflockingdonalds?!More to the point where are they gonna be able to shoehorn the ad's into Far Cry & Prince of Persia? hopefully pic's of them will appear at some point, 'A new McDonalds coming soon to Micronesia' billboard in the jungle perhaps?
Shibathedog Posted September 5, 2007 Posted September 5, 2007 i heard that these games arent that bad though, someone supposedly played through half of far cry without seeing a single ad too bad i already own all the games worth bothering with on that list
Gryph Posted September 5, 2007 Author Posted September 5, 2007 The ads aren't in the game, they're in the menus and loading screen.
Wizard Posted September 5, 2007 Posted September 5, 2007 And Far Cry is a terrible game, but it's a technical marvel. Got a free copy once upon a time...
Haldrie Posted September 6, 2007 Posted September 6, 2007 If anyone wants them I'll download them all and host them on my website for anyone that wants them. That is if I'm allowed to that is.
Wizard Posted September 6, 2007 Posted September 6, 2007 Their basically freeware now. If that's any indication, you can if you wanted.
Haldrie Posted September 6, 2007 Posted September 6, 2007 Well then the big question then is will I be allowed to post the links here. Even if I am though it will be about a week before I can get them all and get them up on my site. DSL is slow .
