I laughed out loud.

Mage: Question about Adblock. It does any pictures? What about gifs? I ask because my computer can't handle it when I'm watching video and playing Runescape (I just picked it up for a bit again) and when one of their animated ads comes up. It won't run all of them, and usually the movie is what suffers. Normal picture ads work just fine, it is just when it is animated so some degree.

Every picture* animated or not. It can't block flash though. Although, some websites I've been too have become sneaky by using dynamic ads. It's the same image but the url is slightly different, and I'm pretty sure it's impossible to block every one.

Dynamic ads such as the ones which react to your mouse moving over them?

Have I yet to mention Flashblock?

No, it's not animated at all. It's like the ads at http://www.cad-comic.com. See the long string of numbers at the end of the url (of the ad)? They randomize it every time you load the page, so it would be impossible to block every one. What a jerk.
