Hambo the Hog 01/04/18 1:44:15 PM #13:	I always have to turn off javascript for gamefaqs. If I leave it on, then best case scenario, it crashes my browser. Worst case, it opens a bunch of new tabs to sketchy sites, freezes porn on my screen, and THEN crashes my browser. Actually, the full site tends to fuck over chrome on my laptop, too. I generally don't mind ads and have never used ad blockers, but gamefaqs ads are honestly bullshit. --- I'm sorry, but 10,000 of ANYTHING on a PS2 would absolutely destroy your framerate.
