What video game character best defines you?

[Kenadian]

If you were a character in a video game, which character do you think would best describe the person you are?

This question is only relevant to current and past video game titles, obviously we cannot be familiar with future gaming characters.

Please share what video game character best defines you and your reasons for believing so.

 

[Kenadian]

I've given this a lot of thought and the best candidate I found was Handsome Jack from Borderlands 2.

The reason I chose Handsome Jack is because I believe him and I share a very similar, evilly sarcastic sense of humour. I also like to poke fun at those around me which is something that I really got a kick out of in Borderlands 2.

If I were able to control leagues of baddies I'd also throw the kitchen sink at my foe instead of taking the mano a mano approach like Jack does.

Duke Nukem.

Duke Nukem.

Why do you feel that he's a good match for your character?

I've got balls of steel, so go eat shit and die.

 

[Kenadian]

ok, so him and you are both assholes, go on.

It's either Ezio Auditore because my farts are silent and deadly or Guybrush Threepwood because I am married to a woman who is much too good for me.

 

[Kenadian]

Well we can go with Ezio if you wish because he is likely the more well known of the two, at least in our age category.

I dont have a clue, theres not really many female characters out there that I know of.

 

[Kenadian]

There's actually plenty of female video game characters to choose from:

...it's just up to you to pick one that best suits who you are.

Also, you could always choose an animal if you wish.

i'll have a nosey through the list...i just dont recognise any of the characters, i dont play a lof games that have female characters in.

Sorry, anyone in our age category who doesn't know Guybrush probably lived under a rock ;-)

Ezio is fine though.

Great idea dude! My choice after a bit of thinking would have to be Frank West.

The reason is after thinking about for a while I realised that I just don't connect with videogame characters anymore, maybe it's age or something I dunno, but then I remembered playing Dead Rising and Dead Rising 2: Off the Record and I really got immersed into that game because I identified with the character, the lines he came out with and his style of going about things, for me I really clicked with that character more than any other in years, so yeah Frank West. Here's a pic in case you're not sure who I mean, plus this one sums it all up for me

I must have been under a rock because I had to do a google search to find out what game he was from.

Don't tell me you never played Monkey Island *gasp*

 

[Kenadian]

Don't tell me you never played Monkey Island *gasp*

Nope, never did.

 

[little P]

I didn't either but it was big back in the days of Amiga. I tried Monkey Island 2 but it didn't interest me that much, although I appreciated the humour

Me either.
So, I just give you my GW2 Toon. She got took at least a rifle for the photo shooting.

 

[Kenadian]

hex, can I get you to take another picture of your character as follows:

• A lighter background such as snow will aid in the clean cropping process
• A smaller weapon or...
• ...a more frontal view of your character.

Right now the mix of character and weapon in your screenshot is so large it actually takes up 3 character slots in the poster.

hexe likes big guns. B-)
