Who knew again?

[CelesJessa]

Star Wars, more specifically: A New Hope?

[greed]

Apocalypse Now?

[Marelo]

Fight Club?

[Ape Boy]

Goodfellas

[Mr.Bookworm]

Blade Runner

[42PETUNIAS]

Saving Private Ryan

[Masked Jedi]

Fight Club

[Fenris]

Fight Club?

Fight Club

Masked Jedi doesn't read!

I'm going to say... Garfield: The Movie

[Nikose Tyris]

The Watchmen.

Can it be your favorite before you see it?

[Masked Jedi]

Ahem.

The Princess Bride.

[Osterbaum]

Serenity.

[Kerensky287]

Wanted.

[The Artist Formerly Known as Hawk]

Well, this is gona be tricky, seeing as I either hate or haven't seen quite a few of these.

N/A;
The Watchmen.

Can it be your favorite before you see it?

No it can not. Although superheroes movies usually do well with me, so I might like it, but I can't count it because it's not even out yet

Not seen;

FenrisWolf; Garfield: The Movie - And nor do I intend to see.
Masked Jedi; The Princess Bride - See above.
Ape Boy; Goodfellas - I may have seen a couple of minutes of this, not sure though. If I did it obviously didn't hold my attention too long.
Moogle0119; Sin City - The art style and ludicrous blood colours puts me off from seeing this.
greed; Apocalypse Now - I have no interest in Veitnam war films. But at least it has explosions, so it gets rated slightly higher than most of these others.

Actually seen and ratable!;

7)Mr.Bookworm; Blade Runner - Must be the only sci-fi film I don't like. Damn thing actually put me to sleep.
6)42PETUNIAS; Saving Private Ryan - Saw the opening, saw a sniper get counter-sniped through the eye, got bored shortly after. It had promise though.
5)CelesJessa; Star Wars; A New Hope - Now we're getting somewhere! Although you failed to take into account that Empire is the best in the series, not Hope, otherwise you would've got higher.
4)Kerensky287; Wanted - Bullet bending kickass action movie with Morgan Freeman? Hell yes!
3)Osterbaum; Serenity - Perhaps my 3rd favourite sci-fi movie ever and still only 3rd on this list as well.
2)Runswithnopants; Fight Club - Of course Fight Club is high on the list. Who doesn't like this movie??
1)NMR; 300 - Pure undiluted awesome in cinematic form. And damn quotable too.

Of course, if anyone had said Aliens or Terminator 2 they'd have won instantly. Event Horizon, The Matrix and any of the Hellboy or Lord of the Rings movies would have also scored highly. The fact that none of those are on here is shameful.

Take it away NMR!

[Mr.Bookworm]

Wait what. The Princess Bride?! It's one of the all-time classics.

[bluestarultor]

Wait what. The Princess Bride?! It's one of the all-time classics.

Well, you have to admit, they DID intentionally make the bulk of the characters incredibly two-dimensional to highlight that it was happening in a book. As a kid, I didn't notice, but I realized it a few months ago now that I'm older. There's just a sort of age range that I'd say would have trouble picking it up, in the mid teens and early adulthood, where you're too old to not notice, but not quite old and settled enough to fully appreciate it. Give him a few years. XD

[Ape Boy]

I reassert my shock at people's glaring lack of taste!

First the Family Fued, now Goodfellas, Sin City, The Princess Bride and Garfield get shunned? I weep for the future.

[NMR]

This is Madness!

Anyways, how about: Most Coveted Video Game

Hit it.

[Mr.Bookworm]

Yeah, can you expand on that? I have no idea what you mean.

[Nikose Tyris]

This is Madness!

Anyways, how about: Most Coveted Video Game

Hit it.

Street Fighter 4?

It just seems to fit with you for some reason.


Also, I figure by "Most Coveted" it means his all-time absolute favourite will not lend to anyone game.

[Marelo]

Damn... Second place again!

Going to wait for elaboration on the category before I guess.

[Ape Boy]

Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater

[NMR]

Coveted as in most favorite. Sorry to sound confusing.

[42PETUNIAS]

Then I change my answer to Castlevania: Symphony of the Night.

[Marelo]

Hm... How about...

Earthbound!

[The Artist Formerly Known as Hawk]

Wait what. The Princess Bride?! It's one of the all-time classics.

Yeah, I expected pretty much this. I care not for your "tastes" though!

Now, to business!

Most Coveted Video Game

Gona go with DMC3.

[Kerensky287]

When in doubt... I'll go with Portal. (I don't know your taste in games AT ALL.)

[Masked Jedi]

GTA: Vice City?

[Seil]

Winnie The Pooh's Rumbly Tumbly Adventure.

[Mr.Bookworm]

Final Fantasy VII

[Moogle0119]

Shadow of the Colossus

[greed]

Fire Emblem: Path of Radiance

[NMR]

All right! It has been 24 hours. Time to do the judging.

People who suck and not even worthy of a number: Seil.

9)GTA: VC - Jedi: Sorry, I like the GTA series, but not that much.
8)SF IV - Nikose: Not a big fan of fighters, but I want this game.
7)FF VII - Bookworm: It's a good game and all, but I'm not a big fan.
6)Portal - Kerensky: Never played it, but that is going to change soon. It would of scored much higher then probably. (You got me on FF VI, by the way. Might of won.)
5)Earthbound - Runswithnopants: Fun game, fun times.
4)Shadow of the Colossus - Moogle: I really really like this game.
3)Fire Emblem: PoR - Greed: Part of my favorite game series. Love them all.
2)DMC3: Hawk - I love this game. I refuse to lend this out.
1)Castlevania: SotN - 42: My absolute favorite out of these. I play it and play it.

There are a few others that would have scored well. LittleBigPlanet, Any "Tales" game, Fire Emblem 7, Super Smash Bros. (Any), FF VI, IX, and X would have also done really well.

Take it away 42!

[Mr.Bookworm]

For some reason, I thought your avvy was Vincent of FF VII. Hence why I picked it.

[NMR]

Ahh, I see. I just like the avatar. :)

[42PETUNIAS]

Thank you, Find all posts function! Stalking saves the day!

Worst Webcomic That for Some Reason People Continue to Read

Pretty self-explanatory, find a fairly popular webcomic that is simply awful. I guess CAD is the most obvious example, but that probably won't win, so I'll just mention it here.

[Mr.Bookworm]

Sooooooo many.

Hm.

Dominic Deegan?

[Moogle0119]

VG Cats (when it's updated)

[Marelo]

Damn... I don't think I can even participate in this one. The only two I can think of have been mentioned already.

[Krylo]

Scott Kurtz is fat. (http://www.pvponline.com/)

I'm gonna gamble a little and say Questionable Content, because I fucking hate Questionable Content.

[Masked Jedi]

Looking For Group?

[Marelo]

Looking For Group?

=o Blasphemy! That's hilarious.

[bluestarultor]

Least I Could Do. Made by the same guy, but utterly horrible.

[POS Industries]

8-Bit Theater.

[NMR]

Shredded Moose

[Fenris]

MegaTokyo

[Nikose Tyris]

8-bit Theatre.

Waitshit.

[POS Industries]

8-bit Theatre.

Waitshit.
Step One: Read thread.

Step Two: Make post.

IN THAT ORDER.

[Masked Jedi]

=o Blasphemy! That's hilarious.

We can't be friends anymore.

[Fifthfiend]

Least I Could Do. Made by the same guy, but utterly horrible.

Shredded Moose

I would say I wish I'd thought of those but then I remembered I actually prefer to not think of either of those, ever, for any reason at all.

[POS Industries]

I would say I wish I'd thought of those but then I remembered I actually prefer to not think of either of those, ever, for any reason at all.
To be fair, I did think of Shredded Moose but discarded it due to the fact that I refuse to believe there are people who willingly read it.

Anyway, since Looking For Group was taken, I went with 8-Bit Theater since that's where all of LFG's best ideas were stolen from.

[Fifthfiend]

To be fair, I did think of Shredded Moose but discarded it due to the fact that I refuse to believe there are people who willingly read it.

I think a big part of what I hate about both of those comics is I can easily imagine lots of people willingly reading them both.

Though your decision to insist on a reality free of such people is certainly a choice I can respect.

[42PETUNIAS]

=o Blasphemy! That's hilarious.

The whole point is that its comics that people like that are horrible. If no one liked the comic, this would be no fun.

For my definition of popular, I probably need to have met someone who likes the comic? That sort of thing might be tough with things like Shredded Moose.

[Marelo]

We can't be friends anymore.

The whole point is that its comics that people like that are horrible. If no one liked the comic, this would be no fun.

My original statement. (http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/sarcasm)

In retrospect, that might not have been obvious.

[42PETUNIAS]

Doesn't seem like I got enough answers this time...

Nikose- Is illiterate
NMR- Needs to name a comic that people actually like. I have never encountered someone that read Shredded Moose, and there's no way something that enjoyed it could be a person
POS- While I haven't found 8bit particularly funny in a long time, I'd say its still good, and I'm paranoid at what happens if I say otherwise.

And now the rankings!

7. Megatokyo - Never experienced this comic, but from what I've heard, it fits perfectly
6. Questionable Content - I think it's really overhyped, and not particularly good, especially like, the last arc which was just ridiculous, but I don't find it awful either, so it places here
5. PVP - Looks really bad, is popular, haven't looked at it beyond that.
4. Dominic Deegan - Have looked at it, it looked really bad, and the art hasn't gotten any better in the X years its been running, which is awful considering how bad it is.
3. LFG - Bad comic, I really dislike sohmer, but it doesn't seem to popular so I can deal
2. LeastICouldDo - I have a friend that really likes this, which is awful. To me, it seems like sohmer is making a newspaper comic on the web, except dirtier, which I dislike. Blue is runner up
1. VGCats - I don't think there's much to say here. The update schedule is ludacris for anyone who is considered one of the big webcomicers, even considering the side comics that have gone nowhere. The humour is bad, and ugh, furries. Moogle wins.

[Fifthfiend]

POS- While I haven't found 8bit particularly funny in a long time, I'd say its still good, and I'm paranoid at what happens if I say otherwise.

Lots of people including the creator agreeing with you?

[Krylo]

ugh, furries.

It's only furries if they have sex.

I mean, unless you're willing to call Looney Tunes and 90% of old (read 'good') Disney furry.

In which case, carry on.

[Ape Boy]

Besides that, what's so wrong with furries?

I've always wondered what scromping my girlfriend in a gorilla suit would be like!

[POS Industries]

[42PETUNIAS]

I mean, unless you're willing to call Looney Tunes and 90% of old (read 'good') Disney furry.

In which case, carry on.

I thought them having sex was yiffing? Anyways, I find that the good uses of animals as characters tend to be aimed at children. Animals are already associated with certain personalities, so it makes it easier to display emotions and characters to people who haven't had a life to pick up on what is going on. I think it's a good technique, but using it in something aimed for adults should be unnecessary. I guess I place it in the same category as facefaults. I should probably stop there, this doesn't need to become a debate thread.

[Ape Boy]

http://i119.photobucket.com/albums/o159/posindustries/facepalm/no.jpg

You best be careful, you might only entice me further. I imagine the result would look very similar to Lt. Worf, and that would be the coolest kid ever!

[bluestarultor]

I thought them having sex was yiffing?

This is correct. That's why a large portion of the population dislikes the furry community. They're people who identify strongly with a certain animal to the point where it becomes a part of how they define themselves. They also, because of the broad definition, claim many perfectly good characters for their own purposes ranging from Star Fox to Winnie the Pooh to Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles and even Thundercats and have a propensity of then making yiff of them, thereby raping everyone's childhoods and often burning eyes with shitty art quality in the process. I mean, hell, some of these drawings look like a ten-year-old did them, and in some cases, scarily enough, one just might have. They're getting younger all the time to the point where it's not even legal for some of them to be on the associated forums. Youngest one I know of for sure that I came across was effing 13. Is that even old enough to like girls?

Edit: Not that I really have a problem with furries as people. It just bugs me that they have so many members who do idiotic things and are overly vocal about what boils down to a fetish, even to the point that other furries can't stand them. It also troubles me how young some of them are, because it indicates that at least a portion of them just want to belong to something and have the misfortune of latching onto something that's got more drama than Gaia and CAD combined. That kind of atmosphere CAN'T be healthy for a kid who's still trying to figure out who they are.




Edit: Since it's been 24 hours (correct me if I'm wrong), I'm just gonna steal this.

Category: favorite music (that one's good again, right?)

[Fenris]

Chorales in a minor key that resolve with a picardy third.

[42PETUNIAS]

Video game music remixes.

[Nikose Tyris]

Emo-punk rock.

[Masked Jedi]

Classic Rock

[Ape Boy]

Bagpipe music and it's applications in Scottish and Irish folk tunes.

[Seil]

Indie-pop-polkas.

[POS Industries]

Industrial shock-rock-a-mah-cock.

[Mr.Bookworm]

Techno.

[bluestarultor]

8: Ape Boy - Bagpipe music and it's applications in Scottish and Irish folk tunes - While I do like Irish and Scottish folk tunes, the most sound I want to hear out of a bagpipe is the soft crackle of flames.
7: Seil - Indie-pop-polkas - Did you just make that up? No, I do not like polka of any sort.
6: POS Industries - Industrial shock-rock-a-mah-cock - I assume you mean Industrial Rock/Industrial Metal, which is really hit or miss with me. A few are good, but overall it's a bit heavy for my tastes.
5: FenrisWolf - Chorales in a minor key that resolve with a picardy third - Joke's on you, because I used to be in the church choir, so actually, yes, there are some nice songs in this category.
4: Nikose Tyris - Emo-punk rock - Surprised? So was I! Among all the crap and self-worthlessness, there are actually a few decent bands, like AFI and Panic! At The Disco when they're not too busy sucking.
3: Masked Jedi - Classic Rock - Gotta love me some Boston!
2: 42PETUNIAS - Video game music remixes - This would have won, as it is is high on my list, partially because they are often...
1: Mr.Bookworm - Techno - There is a lot of good techno.


Disco and 80s rock would also have scored well.

[Masked Jedi]

Sigh. Always a bridesmaid, never a bride...

[Mr.Bookworm]

Alright...

Favorite tabletop RPG.

Specify edition, and different products from the same line count as different. (You could do any one of the World of Darkness line, for example)

[Masked Jedi]

Dungeons and Dragons 3.5?

[42PETUNIAS]

Exalted. Let's go with... first edition?

[bluestarultor]

BESM d20.

[Moogle0119]

Call of Cthulhu and whatever the newest edition is

[Ape Boy]

Blue Star's music preferences make me glad he doesn't appreciate great music like bagpipes.

While we're at it, let's say Legend of the 5 Rings.

[bluestarultor]

What can I say? I have eclectic tastes. ^_^

[Kerensky287]

Let's go with the latest edition of Dark Heresy.


Hey, I like it.

[Mr.Bookworm]

JUst FYI, Kerensky, I don't count Warhammer as a tabletop RPG. You can pick another thing if you want.

[Kerensky287]

Dark. Fucking. Heresy. (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Warhammer_40,000_Roleplay) I don't give a damn that you obviously haven't played it and therefore it isn't your favourite.

Okay, fine. The Mechwarrior tabletop RPG.

[Mr.Bookworm]

Kerensky, that was my fault. I saw Dark Heresy, went "isn't that 40K", and did a quick Google. I saw 40K and automatically assumed it was part of the wargame or whatever you want to call it. So, my bad. Sorry.

6) Legend of the Five Rings/Ape Boy - Never played it.

5) BESM d20/Bluey - See above. Heard good things about it, though.

4) Dark Heresy/Kerensky - I'll go with your original guess due to the me completely misunderstanding what you were talking about. Anyway, I love me some 40K, but I have never played it.

3) Call of Cthulhu/Moogle - Surprisingly, I have not actually played this. My love of Lovecraft is not exactly a secret (see avatar) so it scores points based on that.

2) Exalted 1E/42 - I actually really really like Exalted, but I only have 2E.

1) D&D 3.5/Masked Jedi - Game system I play the most often, and the only one of these I've actually played.

---

For the record, Changeling: The Lost, All Flesh Must Be Eaten, D&D 4.0, and Mutants and Masterminds 2E would have all placed really high.

[Masked Jedi]

YESSSSSSS!

Okay, favorite webcomic.

Go.

[Krylo]

CAD.

[42PETUNIAS]

Questionable Content.

[Fenris]

Looking for Group.

[Nikose Tyris]

8-bit theatre?

[NMR]

XKCD

[Marelo]

Dr. McNinja.

[Kerensky287]

Cyanide and Happiness.

[POS Industries]

Doctor Veluptua.

[Griever]

Sinfest.

[Ape Boy]

Well, let's go with ol' reliable here and say Penny Arcade

[Mr.Bookworm]

Darths and Droids

[CelesJessa]

Awkward Zombie? (http://www.awkwardzombie.com/)

[Moogle0119]

Order of the Stick

[greed]

Scary Go Round?

[bluestarultor]

Goblins.

[Ape Boy]

If this were my category, Moogle would win, followed closely by BlueStar.

RESPECT GET!

[Masked Jedi]

15. Doctor Veluptua (POS) - I'm sorry?
14. Looking For Group (Fenris) - Go die in a fucking hole.
13. CAD (Krylo) - Same as above, but a less painful death, because CAD's at least somewhat funny.
12. Cyanide and Happiness (Kerensky) - Seriously Internet? This is the best you could give us? Really?
11. Scary-Go-Round (Greed) - Hate me if you want, but I can't get into this. Uninteresting characters, bad writing, and shitty artwork. If I can't identify the characters, I won't read.

And now we leave the realm of the fucking terrible and get to the webcomics I actually read.
10. Awkward Zombie (CelesJessa) - It's funny at times. Good enough that I'll keep reading, but pretty much always mediocre.
9. Penny Arcade (Ape Boy) - It's Penny Arcade. It can be incomprehensible and it's way too topical, but funny nonetheless.
8. Goblins (bluestar) - I tend to disagree with the pacing issues, because I read enough webcomics that I don't care if one of them ain't moving. The art's gorgeous, and the characters are well written.
7. Questionable Content (42Pentunias) - I like Hanners, thank you very much.
6. Dr. McNinja (Runswithnopants) - I'm lukewarmed on this over the past year, but come on. It's Dr. McfuckingNinja.
5. xkcd (NMR) - It ain't the most popular webcomic without reason.
4. Sinfest (Griever) - Ahh Sinfest. We have a love and hate relationship. On one hand, every update is a party. But on the other hand, the archive is a bitch to read.
3. 8-Bit Theatre (Nikose) - Do you know what the best thing about 8-Bit is?

Everything.
2. Darths and Droids (Bookie) - This is the shit. I cannot express how much I love this comic. Except that it's better than DM of the Rings. And that's hard.
1. Order of the Stick (Moogle) - It's OotS. If you've read it, you know what I mean. If you haven't read it. It's okay. I'll wait.

If you had said Something Positive, Schlock Mercenary, or Achewood, you would have placed highly. If you had said Sluggy Freelance? You would have won.

Take it away Moogle!

[Fenris]

14. Looking For Group (Fenris) - Go die in a fucking hole.Exactly the response I was going for. =D

[Marelo]

I was certain Dr. McNinja would win... Dr. McNinja always wins in the comic...

[Ape Boy]

I think that was the first set of results I can wholeheartedly agree with.

Kudos

[Moogle0119]

Best Castlevania game

[Mr.Bookworm]

I'm going with the obivous answer and saying Symphony of the Night.

[Professor Smarmiarty]

64. It's in 3D!

[NMR]

Dawn of Sorrow

[greed]

Seeing as SotN and DoS are taken....

Rondo of The Blood.

If you want specific, the PSP remake.

[Kerensky287]

Order of Ecclesia.

It's the only one I've played, and it's pretty good.

[42PETUNIAS]

Castlevania: Lament of Innocence.

[Moogle0119]

6. 64 (either the original or Legacy of Darkness) (Smarty) - Hmm. I have Legacy of Darkness (the version with extra characters in it) and have played and beaten both versions and while it was the series' first experience in 3D, it was pretty bad. Storyline was lacking terribly too. It was bad enough to get omitted from the official Castlevania storyline so I mean....
5. Dawn of Sorrow (NMR) - While the gameplay was great, the story was pretty lacking, especially compared to Aria of Sorrow.
4. Order of Eclessia (Kerensky) - Gameplay was really good and I liked the extras the threw into this game with Hard mode lvl 1 and the other character mode. Storyline was eh, ok though.
3. Castlevania: LoI (42) - Gameplay was pretty good and I loved the storyline detailing the very beginning of the Belmont clan.
2. Rondo of Blood (greed) - I really liked the PSP remake of this game, the gameplay was solid for the old school Castlevania style game and the storyline is something a little more in depth besides "kill Dracula" what with rescuing different people and unlocking another character too.
1. Symphony of the Night (Mr. Bookworm) - What can I say, pretty much anyone who likes Castlevania and became a fan either in the very beginning or later on considers this one of the best ones and my opinion is the same.

I'm shocked nobody mentioned any of the NES ones or even Castlevania IV as those probably would have won even of SotN (would have been close though). It's all yours Bookworm!

[Mr.Bookworm]

Favorite Xbox game.

This includes the 360.

[42PETUNIAS]

Fallout 3.

[The Artist Formerly Known as Hawk]

Halo. If you require a specific number, then let's just say 3. I presume that one's probably the best.

[Marelo]

Gears of War?

[CelesJessa]

Rock Band 2

[Doc ock rokc]

Banjo-Kazooie: Nuts & Bolts

[Moogle0119]

.....Braid?

[bluestarultor]

FF13?

If that doesn't count, since it's not out yet, I'll replace it with...

The Orange Box.

Unless that ALSO doesn't count because it's more than one thing, in which case, I'll break down and take a shot at Portal. :sweatdrop

[Masked Jedi]

Mass Effect

[Kerensky287]

50 Cent: Blood on the Sand.

[Krylo]

Tetris on X-Box Live Arcade.

[POS Industries]

Knights of the Old Republic.

[Ex. 68471]

Grand Theft Auto IV

[NMR]

Conkers Bad Fur Day

[Mr.Bookworm]

13. NMR - Conker's Bad Fur Day: Never played it, no interest in playing it.

12. Doc Ock - Banjo-Kazooie: Not much interest.

11. Kerensky - 50 Cent: I would almost say I'm interested in this, then I remind myself that no amount of So Bad It's Good can make up for it actually being 50 Cent.

10. Celes - Rock Band 2: I love musical games, but I'm more of a Guitar Hero guy.

9. Runs - Gears of War: I keep meaning to pick up an used copy of this, but I've never gotten around to it.

8. Krylo - Tetris: If this had been cellphone games, you would've won. But I don't have it on the 360.

7. Ex - GTA IV: I've played maybe an hour of this, and I really like it, but I don't own it.

6. Hawk - Halo 3: I enjoy the Halo games. But they never really get to the downright excellent stage.

5. 42 - Fallout 3: Very, very good game. I really need to get around to finishing up the Anchorage expansion pack.

4. Moogle - Braid: One of the most creative games I've ever played. I would've payed sixty dollars for it. I still haven't managed to get all of the puzzle pieces, though.

3. Masked Jedi - Mass Effect: One of the best RPGs of all time, and Bioware's second best game.

2. POS - KotOR: This one's still the best, though. My favorite RPG ever ever.

1. bluey - The Orange Box: The Box is like some kind of gaming nirvana. Half Life 2 (and it's sequels) are the best FPS games ever made (in my opinion, anyway), Team Fortress 2 is a near-perfect multiplayer shooter, and Portal is all that is good wrapped up into a few hours of gaming bliss.

---

Even if we go with just Portal, instead of the entire Orange Box, it still takes number one.

#5 down, though, are like my favorite games ever. Oblivion, Assassin's Creed, and Psychonauts would've also placed pretty high.

[bluestarultor]

Okay, then! Favorite animal!

[Mr.Bookworm]

Dogs?

[CelesJessa]

Cat!

[Fenris]

Squid

[Masked Jedi]

Wolverine

[Nikose Tyris]

Panthers.

[POS Industries]

http://i119.photobucket.com/albums/o159/posindustries/muppet_animal.jpg

[The Artist Formerly Known as Hawk]

Godzilla.

...What? You didn't state non-fictional!

[Marelo]

Flying squirrel!

[Kerensky287]

Horse!

[NMR]

Lions

[Moogle0119]

Eagle

[Cati]

Chicken!

[bluestarultor]

12. Godzilla - Hawk - Not really, no. It's an uninterrupted string of horrible movies and just no.
11. Animal - POS - Actually one of my least favorite Muppets. Points for creativity, though.
10. Wolverine - Jedi - You know, I really know very little about them. Not even what they look like. I think that says a bit about how much I like them.
9. Chicken - I really don't care one way or another. I don't even like eating the things. Really prefer turkey for my poultry needs.
8. Squid - Fenris - Squid behavior is admittedly interesting, but if you've seen one, you've pretty much seen them all.
7. Horse - Kerensky - Horses are okay. I've ridden them a few times, but they just don't capture my interest.
6. Dog - Bookie - Dogs are fine, so long as they behave. More of a cat person, myself.
5. Eagle - Moogs - Eagles are pretty cool, yes, but that's mostly my fascination with flying things. Really, you could switch it out with most anything that flies.
4. Flying squirrel - Runs - Squirrels of all kinds are fun to watch. Flying squirrels even moreso. :D
3. Lion - NMR - While I am absolutely fascinated by big cats of all kinds, lions are rather overrated. It's like the world is obsessed with one of the least interesting ones of the group.
2. Cat - CJ - Yes, I do love cats!
1. Panther - Nik - A winner is you! Panthers are totally cool. :D

[Nikose Tyris]

This is a tough one.

My Favorite Band.

Have at Ye.

[Marelo]

Hm...

The Protomen (http://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=the%20protomen&search=).

[Mr.Bookworm]

Queen.

Queen is awesome.

[Masked Jedi]

The Beatles!

[NMR]

The Who

[Fenris]

Whatever band currently recorded a single track that touched your heart in some fashion.

[MariusTwilight]

I'm going to take a random guess and say...

Disturbed? (Based on their most recent released record)

[CelesJessa]

The Black Mages?

[POS Industries]

Actually one of my least favorite Muppets.
You sicken me.

Anyway, Angels and Airwaves.

[42PETUNIAS]

Nickelback

[Krylo]

Brittney Spears.

[Kerensky287]

Weird Al.

[bluestarultor]

You sicken me.

Anyway, Angels and Airwaves.

POS, if you notice, I rated the non-actual-animals at the bottom. Saying Animal is one of my least favorite Muppets is like saying Gato's theme from Chrono Trigger is one of my least favorite songs from the game. Some things are just a cut above everything else and are only comparable to each other.


As for this round, I'm going to take a shot in the dark and guess Kansas.

[POS Industries]

I'm sorry, I couldn't hear you over the vomiting induced by your refusal to accept that the entirety of Dr. Teeth and The Electric Mayhem kicks the shit out of any and all other creations of Jim Henson or those affiliated with his company.

I mean, gawd. Get with it!

[bluestarultor]

I'm sorry, I couldn't hear you over the vomiting induced by your refusal to accept that the entirety of Dr. Teeth and The Electric Mayhem kicks the shit out of any and all other creations of Jim Henson or those affiliated with his company.

I mean, gawd. Get with it!

Well, yeah, the ENTIRETY does, but Animal solo just doesn't do it for me. I mean, he has his high points, but it's hit and miss unless he's paired with the right partner(s). To put it bluntly, he's best when allowed to totally fly off the handle. Him just standing there listening to someone talk is boring.


... Actually, I think this discussion might be better for the Versus thread. :sweatdrop


Edit: vvv Aw, phooey! I was hoping for a real discussion in the matter!

[POS Industries]

Honestly, I'm just trying to find out how retardedly overdramatic I have to be about it before you realize I'm not really being serious.

[Ape Boy]

I've tried that gimmick before, POS. Doesn't work.

[Nikose Tyris]

12 The Protomen Never heard em.
11 The Black Mages Never heard em, but the name is slightly better.
10 Whatever band has recently touched my heart in some fashion I have no heart. Go dick a dick. dick.
9 The Who Nothing near as good as the GUESS WHO.
8 Beatles Clearly you don't know me very well. Yellow Submarine is a not-song.
7 Britney Spears Mmm, yeah~ Tunes get caught in my head. Nothing good though.
6 Kansas One hit wonders. Woo.
5 Queen
4 Weird Al Everyone loves Weird Al.
3 Disturbed Cause I'm INDESTRUCTABLE.
2 Nickelback I have no excuse for this. I'm sorry.
1 Angels and Airwaves The adventure is the single greatest song in the history of ever.

So unfortunately for him POS wins it.

[Mr.Bookworm]

All in favor of banning Nikose for his objectively horrible taste in music say aye.

[POS Industries]

Aye.

Anyway: Favorite Non-Fictional President of the United States of America.

[Mr.Bookworm]

Abraham Lincoln.

[CelesJessa]

William Taft.

[Ape Boy]

FDR

[Moogle0119]

Thomas Jefferson

[NMR]

George Washington

[Oron]

Theodore Roosevelt.

[Marelo]

John Quincy Adams.

[Doc ock rokc]

JFK

[bluestarultor]

George Bush Senior.

[42PETUNIAS]

Andrew Jackson

[Kerensky287]

Richard Nixon. You seem like that kinda guy.

[Ape Boy]

He is not a crook!

I think it'll be funny if he holds out this topic until we get all 40+ in there.

[Nikose Tyris]

Obama?

[POS Industries]

12. Andrew Jackson (42PETUNIAS) - Absolutely without a doubt my least favorite person to hold the office. While not having the natural malevolence of a Richard Nixon or a George W. Bush, nor the record-setting incompetence of a Warren Harding or a George W. Bush, Jackson is arguably the man most responsible for such people being able to get anywhere in governance, as well as the core problems corroding American politics to this very day. He was the first President to really go gung-ho with the spoils system, giving jobs to friends and people who had supported his political career through time and/or money. Thanks to him, we have people called Brownie, Condie, Ollie, and Van Burenie all doing "a heckuva job" while the nation burns.
11. George H.W. Bush (bluestarultor) - I will admit to giving him credit for having the cojones to publicly refer to Reagan's "trickle down" economic philosophy as "voodoo economics" when running against him in the 1980 Republican primary, he proved all to willing to come get da voodoo when offered the Vice-Presidency, driving the country right back into recession during his own administration when the programs set in motion by Carter's Fed Chairman were no longer in effect. Stay away from da voodoo, mon.
10. John Quincy Adams (Runswithnopants) - Meh. After his term in office, the guy became a delegate for a party whose only platform was that you can't trust the Freemasons, which suggests that he was the only even remotely wealthy man in America who wasn't invited to drink at their secret clubhouse. That's pretty much it. Big props on staving off the Jackson administration by another four years and keeping Clay and Calhoun out of the office entirely, though.
9. Barack Obama (Nikose Tyris) - I like him, but he hasn't really done anything yet to deem a judgment either way about his Presidenting ability. Neither our coolest President (Kennedy), most badass President (Teddy), nor blackest President (Clinton), and it's doubtful he'll be our best one, either, but I think he'll definitely be one of the good ones. I can say I do at least appreciate his candor and overall honesty regarding his job, as well as the fact that he actually seems to be taking this shit seriously. Major, major improvement over the last guy.
8. Abraham Lincoln (Mr.Bookworm) - Oh, you're not even trying with this one. Good guy and he saved the Union, but to have him as one's favorite is akin to those people who say that their hero is their dad. It's just lame.
7. George Washington (NMR) - Same as above, except more willing to fuck up your shit if you pissed him off, which I can respect.
6. Richard Thrillhous Nixon (Kerensky287) - As a man, he was scum. Pure and simple. But he was scum to such a legendary degree that you can't actually hate him for it. In many ways, he is the Anti-Lincoln, the sense that, just as Lincoln is the stock "heroic American leader" that we all immediately envision, Nixon is the greatest villain in American culture. There will never be a day as long as this nation exists where someone doesn't automatically bring in Nixon to twirl his metaphorical mustache as he ties America up in front of an oncoming train, and I find that absolutely hilarious.
5. William Howard Taft (CelesJessa) - Much like Nixon, there are times when hilarity triumphs, and that's where Taft comes in. The classic lovable loser President, William Howard Taft never wanted the job in the first place. The fatty sidekick of Teddy Roosevelt, Taft's wife basically just forced him to take the job when Teddy went off to Africa after one term to shoot in the general direction of anything that happened to move, and then Teddy made it happen, because everyone was basically just voting for him. Poor Taft hated every minute of it.
4. Theodore Roosevelt (Oron) - The man got shot in the chest in the middle of a speech, and finished the speech. And that's just the tip of the iceberg of his badassery.
3. John F. Kennedy (Doc ock rokc) - BUT DID TEDDY EVER TAKE ON A ROGUE CIA?! Hell naw! Of all Kennedy's quotes, my favorite definitely would have to be when he vowed on record to “splinter the CIA into a thousand pieces and scatter them to the wind." A statement some believe he died for, but awesome all the same.
2. Thomas Jefferson (Moogle0119) - Ah, the epitome of the Renaissance Man. I always enjoyed the stories about him in the Presidential mansion, with whatever latest project to grab his interest sprawled out over the floor of his office with him just busily studying in the middle of it, lost in his own fascination of the details involved. I honestly don't believe that a more powerful mind ever held the office.

AND YOUR WINNER: Franklin Delano Roosevelt (Ape Boy) - The guy dressed like the Penguin, married a lesbian who didn't take no crap from nobody, kicked the Great Depression's ass, beat Hitler, and died while nailing his mistress. All from the confines of his wheelchair. The phrase "larger than life" doesn't even begin to measure up to that man. My second favorite US President, and my definite favorite US Dictator.

Of course, my favorite is Chester A. Arthur, but I didn't expect anyone to think of him. Sadly, no one ever does.

[Ape Boy]

Chester A. Arthur is high on my list, simply for being such a vital part to "Die Hard: With a Vengeance".

Lincoln is my personal favorite, but I figured FDR would score highly as well, for all the reasons you mentioned.

Anyway, WOOT! FIRST WIN!

Let's go with Funniest Television Show. Make me proud, kids.

[Marelo]

Tim and Eric Awesome Show, Great Job!

[42PETUNIAS]

The Venture Brothers.

[greed]

Arrested Development

[Masked Jedi]

Firefly

[Kerensky287]

Colbert Report.

[POS Industries]

Dog the Bounty Hunter.

[bluestarultor]

Futurama.

[Moogle0119]

The Office

[Ape Boy]

RANKINGS GET!

7) Tim and Eric Awesome Show, Great Job! - Runswithnopants
Honestly my least favorite show in the Adult Swim lineup, and indicative of how far they've tapered off with home-produced series, other than Drinky Crow.
6) Firefly - Masked Jedi
Never seen it, and it's still funnier than Tim & Eric.
5) Dog the Bounty Hunter - POS Industries
It's funny alright, for all the wrong reasons. I'm often too busy gawking at Beth's gigantic kersloppers to laugh.
4) Colbert Report - Kerensky287
Love it. The third act with the interviews is very hit or miss, though.
3) The Venture Brothers - 42PETUNIAS
Incredibly funny, probably my favorite AS show. Loses points for taking so damn long between seasons.
2) Futurama - bluestarultor
Absolute favorite animated series ever. The 5th season movies weren't as awesome as the television series, but they've had very strong DVD sales and FOX has been open to idea of giving them the Family Guy treatment for a 6th season. One can only hope.

WINNERS - TIED FOR FIRST:
The Office - Moogle0119
Arrested Development - greed
Nothing makes me laugh more than Gob being a moron or Dwight being Dwight. Honestly couldn't decide who wins, but with these two as your tops, everybody wins.

First one of Moogle or greed to post a new category will take it.

Scrubs, Boston Legal, South Park, & Everyone Loves Raymond would've done well, too, though I don't think any of them would've unseated the winners.

[Moogle0119]

Hmm....how about...

Most memorable line/quote from a video game (provide the quote and who said it and what game it's from).

[Fenris]

"Son of a Submariner!" - Kefka, FFVI

[NMR]

"The president has been kidnapped by ninjas. Are you a bad enough dude to rescue the president?" Introduction - Bad Dudes

[Mr.Bookworm]

"Well done, Android. The Enrichment Center reminds you that android hell is a real place where you will be sent at the first sign of defiance." GLaDOS - Portal

Honestly, any line from Portal applies.

[Ravashak]

"This kingdom shall fall, and from the ashes shall arise a new order, that will shake the very foundations of the world" Arthas in the Alliance ending movie Arthas' Betrayal, Warcraft 3

[Nikose Tyris]

"YOU DARE DEFY THE GOD OF WAR?!" Spoken by Kratos to a Pegasus.

[Kerensky287]

"Watch out for Wario's bite. It's not just damage you take from it." (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Sq5ReqVe6F8&fmt=18) -Colonel Campbell in Smash Bros Brawl

[Ape Boy]

"GO HOME AND BE A FAMILY MAN!" Colonel William F. Guile to everyone, including chicks, in Street Fighter II

[bluestarultor]

"This guy are sick." - Aeris, Final Fantasy VII, PlayStation version.

[greed]

The best one liner I can think of right now from a game would be

'Feel the pain of those "lesser beings" as you burn in hell!' - The other Kratos in Tales of Symphonia

[Masked Jedi]

"Thank you Mario, but the princess is in another castle." - Toad, Super Mario Brothers

[The Artist Formerly Known as Hawk]

"HEADSHOT!" - Unreal Tournament announcer.

[Krylo]

"I am coming Solaris! Seibzehn and I shall be the dark wings which carry you all to your deaths!" - Maria the thirteen year old.

[Kim]

"Family comes first. Any man who says differently is saying something wrong, and you should hit that man... with a stick." A cannibal NPC in Fallout 3

[Seil]

James Sunderland: I was weak. That's why I needed you... needed someone to punish me for my sins... but that's all over now... I know the truth. Now it's time to end this.

Silent Hill 2, James Sunderland confronting Pyramid Head.

I'd use Angela's last couple of lines, but while she is awesome, she doesn't seem to be anyone's favorite, per se.

[Marelo]

"Prepare for unforeseen consequences."

Half-Life 2, Episode 2, G-Man

Edit: Also, I was really hoping Tim & Eric would elicit a graphic description of disgust.

[Moogle0119]

Wow a lot of good ones here, let's see....

15. "HEADSHOT!" - Unreal Tournament announcer. (Hawk) Never played the game.

14. "Prepare for unforeseen consequences." Half-Life 2, Episode 2, G-Man (Runswithnopants) Same as above.

13. "Feel the pain of those "lesser beings" as you burn in hell!" - The other Kratos in Tales of Symphonia (greed) Ditto.

12. "This kingdom shall fall, and from the ashes shall arise a new order, that will shake the very foundations of the world" Arthas in Warcraft 3 (Ravashak) Again, haven't played it.

11. "Thank you Mario, but the princess is in another castle." - Toad, Super Mario Brothers (Masked Jedi) This could have been #1 very easily but you actually got the quote wrong. Hint: It's OUR princess, not THE princess.

10. "YOU DARE DEFY THE GOD OF WAR?!" Spoken by Kratos to a Pegasus. (Nikose) I loved both of the PS2 games and although I can remember this exact line being said by Kratos in GoW 2 I can't remember the scene at all and quite honestly there were much better lines in that game than this one.

9. "Family comes first. Any man who says differently is saying something wrong, and you should hit that man... with a stick." An NPC cannibal from Fallout 3 (NonCon) Sounds pretty funny, unfortunately I haven't gotten to that point in the game yet so maybe it's better because of the circumstances going on at the time in the game.

8. "Watch out for Wario's bite. It's not just damage you take from it." -Colonel Campbell in Smash Bros Brawl (Kerensky) - I remember this particular codec conversation, however I think this might have scored higher if you had used the codec conversation fighting against Luigi or another Snake.

7. "I am coming Solaris! Seibzehn and I shall be the dark wings which carry you all to your deaths!" - Maria from Xenogears (Krylo) I do remember this line and while it was pretty good there were much much better lines from that game to choose from such as Grahf's entire introduction before his boss fights.

6. "Well done, Android. The Enrichment Center reminds you that android hell is a real place where you will be sent at the first sign of defiance." GLaDOS - Portal (Mr.Bookworm) I like this line a lot, however there were many better options to choose from in Portal like the whole 'Remember when the platform was sliding into the fire pit and I was like 'Goodbye' and you were like 'NO WAY!' and I was all 'We pretended we were going to murder you' That was great... '

5. "I was weak. That's why I needed you... needed someone to punish me for my sins... but that's all over now... I know the truth. Now it's time to end this." James Sunderland from Silent Hill 2 (Seil) I love this quote and I wish it could rank up higher because I really enjoyed this game and every bit of dialogue in it. Taken into consideration the boss fight you face right after this, it's very memorable.

4. "The president has been kidnapped by ninjas. Are you a bad enough dude to rescue the president?" Introduction - Bad Dudes (NMR) Awesome quote that was made awesome through it's entire cheesiness, gotta love it!

3. "This guy are sick." - Aeris, Final Fantasy VII (bluestarultor) I cringe everytime I remember this line from FFVII because of the terrible translation. Fortunately the terrible translation made for a very memorable screw up and catapults it very high on this list.

2. "GO HOME AND BE A FAMILY MAN!" Guile from Street Fighter II (Ape Boy) Yeah this quote is funny as hell when you see Guile winning over Chun Li and seriously what fighting game character says this anyway?

1. "Son of a Submariner!" - Kefka, FFVI (Fenris) I love this quote, who could forget it?

The top 5 choices were all very close and even still the rest were really good too although I am a bit surprised I saw no mention of FFIV's "You spoony bard!" on there since that may have edged out Kefka's line. Some good Zelda quotes may have also won "It's dangerous to go alone! Take this!."

Have at it Fenris!

[Masked Jedi]

Seriously? Seriously? I get penalized for trying to do it from memory and not googling it? One word?

*grumbles*

Honestly, though, I'm surprised it would even be considered for #1, since it brings on such mind-numbing rage in, well, me, at least.

[Moogle0119]

Well I went off of the quotes that were the most famous, not personal favorites. I mean who hasn't played Super Mario Bros. 1 and not beaten at least the first castle?

[The Artist Formerly Known as Hawk]

What, and Unreals announcer (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=27e5VcXFMb8) isn't famous enough?!

I mean he practically invented the act of calling out headshots in gaming!

[Fenris]

Favorite thing to call people.

[Marelo]

Favorite thing to call people.

Hm... This will be difficult. I know nothing of your insulting tendencies.

Let's go with...

Scuzzbucket.

[Mr.Bookworm]

Crusty botch of nature.

(Bonus points if you can identify where that's from.)

[Moogle0119]

.....why not, I'll go with "Spoony bard"

[POS Industries]

Fucker.

[42PETUNIAS]

Miserable piles of secrets.

[Ape Boy]

Douche.

It's short, to the point, and often catches people by surprise.

[Ravashak]

slacker

[bluestarultor]

Banned. XD

[The Artist Formerly Known as Hawk]

Jerk.

It's shorter and even more to the point than douche!

[Kerensky287]

Whatever their real names are.

[Fenris]

10.) Scuzzbucket
9.) Crusty botch of nature
8.) Spoony bard
7.) Miserable piles of secrets

Never called anybody any of these.

6.) Banned
5.) Slacker
4.) Jerk
3.) Douche
2.) Fucker
1.) Whatever their real names are.

Kerensky wins.

If somebody had said "Dewey," they would have had an easy victory. "Dews" and "Poones" would also have placed highly.

[Kerensky287]

AHAHAHAHA YES FINALLY

Alright, let's go with Favourite Superhero. By this I mean comic-book-style superhero - real "everyday" heroes don't count.

[Moogle0119]

Spider-man

[Mr.Bookworm]

Rorschach

(I assume Watchmen is fair game?)

[CelesJessa]

Deadpool! I really don't know who Deadpool is but it seems like a safe bet the way people talk about him.

[Mr.Bookworm]

Deadpool as summed up in four images (I was going to go with one, but I couldn't force myself to pick between them):

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v210/godsoe/DeadPool-AWESOME.jpg

http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/DeadpoolYellowBoxes.jpg

http://www.screengeeks.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/01/deadpool.jpg

http://lafinjack.net/images/comicz/deadpool/deadpool_meatloaf.jpg

[Masked Jedi]

The Goddamn Batman

[Kerensky287]

Rorschach

(I assume Watchmen is fair game?)

All superheroes are fair game, even if they've never appeared in a comic book (just to allow for more options). Rorschach definitely applies.

[Marelo]

Hm...

The Incredible Hulk.

[Ape Boy]

Some bastard took Batman, so I'll go Cable.

[POS Industries]

The Goddamn Batman
In this case, I'll say the regular, actually good Batman not written by Frank Miller.

[The Artist Formerly Known as Hawk]

Gambit. Everyone likes Gambit.

[Masked Jedi]

In this case, I'll say the regular, actually good Batman not written by Frank Miller.

Okay, that's kinda what I meant. I'm calling foul. I've just gotten used to calling him that.

[bluestarultor]

Jubilee. And by Jubilee I mean the REAL Jubilee, with pafs and fireworks and the ability to shatter steel with explosive sparkles, not this new Wondra character in a power suit who will never be nearly as cool as Jubilee.

[Kerensky287]

8. Runswithnopants - Hulk. I wouldn't say he lacks imagination, but... HULK SMASH. RARGH. He's basically an Ork Warboss (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ork_(Warhammer_40,000)), but without the brutal cunning, cunning brutality, or any humour whatsoever. It's just HULK ANGRY, HULK SMASH, Banner sad, over and over with no variation. General dislike.

7. bluestarultor - Jubilee. I remember her being the annoying little girl sidekick in the X-Men animated series, but that's all I know of her. Lack of knowledge, but dislike of what there is.

6. Ape Boy - Cable. I don't really know Cable at all, but he works with Deadpool, so there's gotta be something good about him. Lack of knowledge, but like of what there is.

The top 5 were really, really tough choices though. I love all these characters, but I have to pick...

5. Mr Bookworm - Rorschach. A very quotable character, very memorable, and very much an action hero. He had something like 3 crowning moments of awesome in Watchmen and his characterization was top-notch. The thing is, he's an anti-hero, and not in the traditional sense. He wants what he sees as justice at all costs, and his "no compromise" policy would have destroyed the peace Ozymandias created if he had reached civilization, and his journal is hinted to do some heavy stuff after the movie anyway. The fact that Rorschach spends a lot of time being a serious dickhole and... well, messes stuff up, keeps him from being my favourite.

4. Masked Jedi - Batman. What's not to love about Batman? The (newer) movies are outstanding, the Adam West series was glorious, and without any real powers he's easily one of the best superheroes around. Plus, he's the only DC pick on the list. Sadly, the general crushing darkness of some of the recent stuff (and the suckage of the older movies) lose Batman some points. He's still easily in my top 10 though, which is good considering the number of heroes there are out there.

3. Moogle0119 - Spiderman. An excellent superhero, and definitely in my top 5 comic book heroes. His powers are imaginative, his secret identity is (relatively) believable, and he still manages to be funny while he's out fighting evil. He's an all-around good guy, which is why it's so sad when bad things happen to people who are close to him. His movies were great as well, which is a plus. Was a very strong contender for the #1 spot.

2. CelesJessa - Deadpool. An all-around badass, an anti-hero in a different (hilarious) sense from Rorschach, and Canadian to boot. Nigh-unstoppable, but not as in-your-face about it as Wolverine. He was great in Marvel: Ultimate Alliance. "I need help! And a pony!" Would have gotten the top spot, if not for...

1. Hawk - Gambit. I was a stalwart X-Men Animated Series fan when I was younger, and Gambit, the guy with an awesome metal staff and accent - not to mention the ability to throw EXPLODING CARDS - was always the highlight of the show for me. Everything Gambit does just seems to have a sense of style. I mean, he doesn't have to throw cards - he can throw damn near anything and make it explode - but he does just because he's that awesome. He also gets points for being one of the only characters to beat Wolverine in a fight (technically). When I see X-Men Origins, it won't be for Wolverine - it will be for Gambit.

Hawk is up next.

By the way: I was deliberately trying to aim you guys away from comic book characters, because my favourite is probably Captain Hammer, believe it or not. Hiro Nakamura would also have done well. The fact that he isn't the central focus of Heroes is the main reason I don't watch the show.

[Mr.Bookworm]

Wait wait wait. You reject Rorschach for being unheroic enough (which is in itself understandable), but you think of goddamn Captain Hammer as a hero? He's the single most villainous character in the entirety of Dr. Horrible. Man's a villain with good PR, which makes him even more despicable.

/end rant

[Krylo]

Hammer is only a villain because you're seeing things through Dr. Horrible's view point. He's no more villainous than say... your average dickish jock--but he is a hero. He fights crime. He saves people's lives. He simply has no concept of pain due to never having been hurt before--and therefore lacks empathy as it's hard to empathize with someone who is hurting if you've never been hurt. He'd always been popular, and just stupid enough to not get really emotionally attached to anyone... and completely impervious to physical harm.

At the end of the day, though, he still tried to do what was 'right' and 'good' and save lives. He was a total asshole to Horrible because Horrible was a villain. He didn't feel he needed to act nicely to Horrible like everyone else due to their roles--and was incapable of understanding human feelings Horrible might have thanks to his inability to feel pain.

Rorschach, on the other hand, was FULLY capable of understanding the pain of the people, and just didn't give a rat's ass. He's far more morally ambiguous than Hammer ever was.

[Marelo]

Aw, c'mon... The Hulk doesn't have subtlety? Qué ridiculo, señor.

[The Artist Formerly Known as Hawk]

When in doubt, always go with Gambit. Incidentally I would've said Hulk if he hadn't already been suggested.

Next subject, similar, but sufficiently different from the last one to avoid breaking the thread rules;

My favourite game character.

This does not include any character from any source outside of gaming who later on had a game made about them.

[Marelo]

Gordon Freeman.

It has to be Gordon Freeman.

[Moogle0119]

Link

The best silent protagonist to ever grace consoles (aside from grunts and such)

[Mr.Bookworm]

Kratos?

[DarthMauler64]

Jim Raynor

[NMR]

Dante! You know you like Dante!

[Kerensky287]

This is Snake.

I'm done here.

[The Wandering God]

Albert Wesker from the Resident Evil games.

[bluestarultor]

I'm gonna go with Sonic. You strike me as old enough to be nostalgic about the old Sonic games.

[Ape Boy]

GLaDOS, if you aren't a filthy liar.

[CelesJessa]

I'm going to say maybe Kefka?

[POS Industries]

It's obviously Kratos, but that's taken.

So I'm going with Thrall.

[Truce]

Sol Badguy.

[Masked Jedi]

Mr. Green

Hey, you didn't say what type of game.

[Griever]

Ryu from Street Fighter....hey it could be!

[The Artist Formerly Known as Hawk]

Unranked;

Darthmauler64 - Jim Raynor; No idea who this is sorry.
POS Industies - Thrall; Again, name doesn't ring a bell.
Truce - Sol Badguy; And again, I have no clue who this is.
Masked Jedi - Mr Green; I'm guessing there's some sort of snide joke on this one, but it's utterly lost on me.

Ranked;

10)CelesJessa - Kefka; Never played the game, so I can't really say much on this one really. Still, least I've heard the name.
9)Moogle0119 - Link; Never play Nintendo so I've never played a single one of his games. Seems kind've a badass though, from what I've heard.
8)bluestarultor - Sonic; First game I ever played was a Sonic title and I loved the earlier games. Unfortunately I now agree with Yahtzee; Sonic needs a dogshit bullet between the eyes to put him out of his misery. Such a shame.
7)Griever - Ryu; Oh man if you knew how many times I've been stuck fighting him online lately because everyone plays goddamn Ryu then you wouldn't have suggested it. Also his Ultra is a pain in the arse to pull off. Still fun to play as though.
6)Runswithnopants - Gordon Freeman; Now we're getting somewhere. A true badass, but unfortunately is also completely mute and his almost complete facelessness = lack of characterisation.
5)The Wandering God - Albert Wesker; I like Wesker. Sure he's a completely 2d evil villain, but it seems as if he knows he's a completely 2d evil villain and so just gets on with doing his evil villainy things because he likes being an evil bastard. Also shades + superpowers = bitchin'.
4)Ape Boy - GLaDOS; If there's an even greater villain than Wesker, then it's GLaDOS. Extra points for being extra sinister, funny as hell and toying with her victims continously, even while losing a fight.
3)Kerensky287 - Snake; Everyone loves Snake and I'm no different. Everything about him is awesome, he fights gaint mechs, insane bosses, and only gets given a tranq gun to complete his missions with. Now that's hardcore. Oh and that voice is hypnotic.
2)NMR - Dante; Dante is without doubt the coolest guy in gaming. The guy is literally Style Incarnate and has some of the maddest, most outrageous scenes of anyone ever. When you start doing Matrix style in arm shots of you putting on a coat you know you're badass.
1)Mr.Bookworm - Kratos; Yeah, of course it was gona be Kratos. He may not be as subtle as Snake or as Stylish as Dante, but anyone who fights Gods/every mythical beast and character in Greek myth and not only kills them, but rips them to shreds is ok in my book. Also has the most awesome weapons of any character ever. I want those Blades!

So Bookie wins. But if anyone had said Blanka from Street Fighter it would've been an instant win, even over Kratos.
