This site is nearly impossible to get to with the pop up age 
verification in the way.  With all the extensions I have I actually have 
to go into safe mode in Firefox to get the pop up to show.   Internet 
Explorer is pretty much the same thing, I've got googlebar's pop-up 
blocker plus the yahoo anti-spy blocker.  Of course there isn't actually 
any useful info at the Q4 site, but who actually doesn't have pop-ups 
blocked these days?  There's a pop-up blocker built into IE now for 
chrissakes. 
Just seems crazy making a website this difficult to get to.  They could 
make it easier by storing an age verifying cookie, but no, you've got to 
go through the age verification every time.  (approaching full rant mode 
now)  WTF is the purpose of those silly age verification things anyway?  
What the hell makes that a legitimate safeguard against young kids 
looking at a web site?  Is it just legal absolution?  "She said she was 
18 officer".  That might work somewhere, I dunno.  So if some 9 year old 
says he's 14, Activision can't be held accountable for his perusing 
their blood and gore and satan stuff?

g'night.

I ran into the same thing, and had to diagnose it by looking at the site in 
IE (which I only use out of desparation to check "safe" sites with broken 
code). Id should use an entry page, not a popup, if it needs that sort of 
thing.
