Advertisements?

Perhaps they thought it'd make the ad more aggressive, as in spreading or growing fast? A bit like "an aggressive tumor"?

Well I am offended that for this premium price, my copy of Dom3 seems to have not included a sultry blonde.

There is another advantage of these ads as far as Shrapnel might be thinking.

The DO prove that SOME people every once in a long while actually SEE some of the things that Shrapnel was forced to add to the forum pages in order to get people to actually look at the whole site and not just their favorite discussions.

If for no other reason, they prove that a sexy blonde can get the attention of the average gamer where an ancient hand (like on the Dom3 box) didnt. Maybe they took a hint from ads for their games like Scallywag which included images that were not in the game.
Which makes me wonder what the box for Dominions 4 might look like.

shrapnel's other blondes also have a burning pearl, but you need the special photo sets in order to properly view their "misc. slots".

new ad girl. she's hot. seems to be wearing some sort of majickal bracer, and a ring.

i'm pretty sure those shoes are magical too.

She's really hot. Clumsy as I am, I wanted to enlarge the picture, clicked and SNAP fell in the marketing trap. When I was on the order page I thought about buying another copy of Dominions 3 for the ad-girl, because she wants her Dominions 3 so badly. But there's no adress of hers... So, no buy.

Hmm, it's only a guess, but I think if those mysterious items are magickal they must attract horrors as Omnirizon's and my attention were attracted by her.

I'm thinking those are chi shoes, because those legs are kickin'

[Sombre]

It isn't actually the women who are saying "I want my dominions 3", it's the photographer. It's a complex statement about male gaze.

That or it's the same old exploitative crap.

That, or sublimation.

Why did I bump this topic?
