Crossing the boundaries of forum relationship norms

So I'm playing Fallout New Vegas right now and was making a new character and decided to go black for the hell of it. I started mucking around with the features and realized it kinda looked like Earl a little.

So I went full board and made him look like Earl to the best of my abilities. And then named him Earl Rufus.

Some ways to view this:

This could perhaps be a sign of friendship since I can have my internet pal Earl traverse the wasteland with me for grand adventures.

But it could also be considered quite sinister because now I can make a representation of Earl do all sorts of horrible things. But mostly I make him wear a cowboy hat. But that doesn't mean I won't make him slaughter the innocent.

Or maybe it's creepy.





Note: watching "Earl" attack a foe with a cleaver in VATS slow-mo was a hilariously satisfying moment.

Perhaps you unknowingly made a virtual voodoo doll. Let's see if he wakes up today with a cowboy hat affixed to his head.

Oh, and picture please.

Witnessing that, was the hardest I've laughed at anything in a long time.

I use to think this stuff was weird... and still kind of do, but no skin off my back really.
