I actually have a special Braid post in the works. Due to circumstances beyond my control though, I'm not sure when it'll go up. Literally, they are "circumstances beyond my control." I feel like such a hotshot saying that, albeit a powerless hotshot.

Just put in some pictures of dogs or something, who cares

I'm seriously dying here.

Yes, it would. The problem isn't necessarily that there are as many as six billboards but that they are all the exact same image. It looks ridiculous. Like the Axe corporation is trying to focus the entirety of its promotional efforts on this one parking garage.

Ok so six Axe billboards is a little excessive, but if you stand in any modern city and turn 360 degrees you'll see dozens of adverts.

Maybe in-game advertising would be less of an issue if there was actually more of it. As it stands the few there are stand out, but if the city was as full of billboards and posters, across a range of different brands, as real cities are wouldn't it ironically feel far less obvious and intrusive?
