And the mercy seat is awaiting,
And I think my head is burning,
And in a way I'm yearning,
To be done with all this measuring of proof.
An eye for an eye
And a tooth for a tooth,
And anyway I told the truth,
And I'm not afraid to die.
Watch Dogs is the Fight Club of video games, if it were directed by Roland Emmerich.

It's the stock newbie avatar. You either get a new one for $5 yourself or piss off/entertain someone enough so that they buy you one for $10.
Or you ignore it and live happily ever after.

It's just an avatar, it's not like people will laugh at you for it. Though if they hear you complaining they might.

I have to go now. My planet needs me.
If they'd stuck to the idea of Aiden being a Blume employee who stumbles on to a conspiracy, then that would actually give Aiden and cTOS some meaning. Now its just "Aiden is a horrible person, but now he can use the magic computer thing to do stuff!".

Him being framed and trying to expose the truth by turning Blume's own weapons on them about cTOS is a lot more cyperpunk-y too. Blume pretty much has no purpose in the game other than audio logs of minor characters going "heh heh heh this sure makes it easy to hack stuff." They're just...there.

I'm both relieved that that's not what was happening and that that particular situation hadn't occurred to me at all until you brought it up. God I really hope W_D doesn't try to get to that point of edgyness.

Well, Chip, I have to say your bosses do awesome power armor. Between SR3 and yet ANOTHER playthrough of RF:Armageddon, I just can't say how nicely done the power armors are done, both in design/appearance and functionality.

Don't know about Red Faction, but I found the visual designs of Robosuits and Alien tech in SR4 pretty generic. I think it's partially the color, since Grey-Blue and Red-Black aren't exactly adventurous. Functionality's fine regardless, since there isn't anything overtly heinous like wearing 3 layers of jackets.

But yes the SR3 STAG stuff was slick, though, I'll give them that.

The STAG guys had Future Armor and it was pretty tight. SR4's power Armor could've used from being purple and gold and all that that entails, but it was functionally awesome. RFG and RFA both had great robot suits and RFA especially had oodles of nonstandard ways to murder the gently caress out of this that and the other thing and it was glorious.

Also Garbage Dick, if you're not a Garbage Dick you'd be A Stupid Newbie, unless you managed to sign up in one of the very small windows of No Newbie Avatars. Welcome to Something Awful, Garbage Dick.

All Stupid Newbies were turned into Gar-bage dicks at some point in 2014. The 'Default Avatar' image was changed to that. There was even a short period where all newbies were toiletlords, and that was very confusing.

However there was also small window some time in 2009 where new people who signed up just didn't have an avatar, and that stuck with users versus the various newbie avatar changes. I fell into that window, which thankfully led me to avoid babyface.

It's also unclear to a lot of people on signup at the time (I don't know if it's changed since then), but you only got Stupid Newbie if you didn't enter anything as text either. Text is free.
