On the latest Duke Nukem Forever movie page I get the following Facebook image between the movie and the comments regardless of browser (Firefox 4.0 and now IE9 in both XP and Windows 7 environments):

Facebook Junk

I thought it was just the one day, but now it's happening whenever I visit this page. It does not happen when I visit other game movie pages. It's kinda weird.

Thank you,

Boz

Very odd, when I watch a Duke Nukem Forever PC video I do not see the facebook page nor do I see the image roll, I see the video comments directly below it.

Do you have a Facebook account or are you logged in to Facebook? I only ask because I do not have a Facebook account, and wonder if that might impact the page layout.

I also wonder if this is related to Duke Nukem's "featured" game page, as the layout for game launches is different from the standard GS layout.

Happy gaming,

Boz

This is actually intended. Certain high profile games have branded environments (the "featured" page you mentioned), and some of those have built-in Facebook Activity feeds that display content from their official Facebook fan pages. Any link that goes into such a branded environment will be labeled as such somehow (generally with a "promoted content" message) to let you know in advance.
