    Hmm, All I feel look at this character is a primal urge to murder him.

    Or watch him break down crying in the mud when it's raining. While I'm Looming over him like a serial killer from Sin City... or Watchmen.

    How odd.

    @Vedli: I support this comment, as it made me giggle.

    It also expresses quite wonderfully precisely how I feel whenever someone comes within 50 feet of me wearing Axe Body Any-friggin-thing.

    So perhaps not so odd.

    I don't see what the big deal is.

    It's a free character download. They aren't forcing you to download it.

    A free, optional download is one thing, but ads in a game like Wipeout, or a paid service like XBL is what we should really be worried about.

    It's not like the character is completely ridiculous and make of chocolate or something.

    @bakagaijin: The comparison of the Wipeout thing to XBL is kinda weak since Wipeout was a game people had already purchased before ads had been put in place, while XBL has had them for as long as I remember. Besides, they are always adding new stuff to it so ad revenue to support new content makes more sense than hiking the membership fee.

    Outrage? How can you be outraged at a face like that?

    I haven't been this smitten since Brad Pitt stared longingly into the camera while doing opium in China in Legends of the Fall.

    Axe has had a very strange marketing run. I originally hated the commercials where the girls were trouncing the guy who sprayed himself with the stuff, but eventually came around to the more humorous ones. I really liked the recycling commercial and a couple like that. Then they fell downhill again with their more recent chocolate man and crappy body detailer. As for the spray itself I haven't used it since I was 12. I'd rather smell like BO than BO and axe

    @Malfunktion v2: That recycling ad is funny, but Axe is patchouli for preteens. If I'm going to wear any type of cologne, I want some subtlety. You shouldn't be able to smell it until you're right up against me. Hell, I've been using the same small bottle of A&F Fierce since I was a sophomore in HS, and I'm now 21.

    @Jbourne37: That's the problem. People buy stuff like Axe and they empty half of the can in one continuous spray.

    Of course, given the choice, I'd take Stetson or Old Spice over Axe any day. Or better yet, sandalwood oil. Diluted, it makes an incredible cologne. It's just hard to find around here, since it's usually sold in new age shops, and this is a heavily Christianized area. :(

    I think you might want to get a nice antiperspirant for your BO problem. Or maybe shower in the morning.

And I don't know about you, but I sweat just like very other human. The BO part was about the axe itself, not my pits. I'm a non-sweating alien just like you.

    Double shits to chesty!

    Hell, I use AXE and I think this was a dumb move. It's nice to have another free skin for PAIN, but I'd be happier if I still had a reason to boot up PAIN more often without having to download 350mb+ updates, PLUS 3-5 13mb updates just to get to the main menu. The game as a core concept was great, but now the novelty has definitely worn a bit, and the architecture of the game is really obnoxiously slow and redundant. Hey, guys, new game puhleese.

    Dammit. I can't stand Axe's ad campaigns.

    Why? Because they actually make damn good products, and every time I buy one I feel like I'm encouraging them. (This doesn't apply to their de-gluing shampoo. Whoever thought putting those "Snake Peel" pebbles in a friggin' SHAMPOO is an idiot.)

    Is it a free download? Because if so.. they have basically given us the ability to ram his nuts into every possible object over and over again. You can't tell me a crappy Axe mascot is less annoying than a black pirate midget, a fat retard named kenneth, or david hasselhoff.

    It'd better be. I don't know anyone who's paid for content in Pain, much less a character that's a playable ad.

    I hate Axe with a passion. They treat women in their tv commercials like brainless dogs that will just do whatever smells like Axe.
    I wouldn't complain if the thing worked for real, though.
