19 Things Video Game Fans Are SICK Of

12. Terrible Ads For Terrible Mobile Games

You may have noticed the WhatCulture Gaming video embedded into this entry, and wondered "Por che?" in your language of choice. Two reasons: it satiates Dark Lord Syn'Urgy, one of the oldest of the Corporate Gods, and it allows you to play the patented WhatCulture drinking game. The rules are simple: take a scoof of your beverage of choice if you see any of the following mobile game advertising tropes while watching the video :

 - A man shoots zombies while running through numbered gates.

 - An atrociously poor-looking Tower Defence game that looks the product of a Flash tutorial.

  - An attractive and obviously GenAI-created anime girl poses provocatively.

 - Take a bonus drink if any of the above ads have a voiceover from a bored-sounding influencer of dubious fame. 

This writer (sort of) understands capitalism, and realizes these mobile games need to advertise to put eyes on their product. But for the love of Nike, could whoever's pumping out this slop please stop recycling the same tired motifs (or at least find someone who has more charisma than an ingrown toenail to provide the voiceover?)
