Free Steam game of your choice ($9.99 or less) for the best (I'll decide) answer to the following question.

Aside from the fun that comes from mowing down the enemy, we often have trouble connecting with our favorite video game heroes. This is my task to you.

Name a character from any game to which you can easily relate. Post a picture for reference.

1) What is it about their personality, ideas, values, opinions, or motivations that are similar to your own?
2) Name a time when that character did, said, or thought something with which you strongly agree. Describe this occurrence in as much detail as possible.
3) What trait do you wish this character shared with other video game characters? Why do you feel this way?


Nothing fancy. A five+ sentence paragraph should cover it.

Winner at 1:00 AM EST.

It could be seen as a troll post, but Marche's dickish insistence to drag all of his friends back to their shitty lives was something I could relate to. He was in a fantastical world where wonderful things were possible. On the same token, he is a child who is far, far from home and probably rightly scared at the terrible things that are possible around him. I tend to be the explorer type as an adult, but thinking back to when I was a child, I can really relate to his feeling of just wanting to be home.

Marche is, both fortunately and unfortunately, a walking tsunami of will. He gets his way and, although he can get swept into tides of fortune in Ivalice, he imposes his desires on those who cannot withstand him. I'd like to see more video game characters that share is will with blind ignorance to the well being of others around them. I'm not saying every character should be like that, but I think if used in an intelligent way it could be an interesting narrative device.

All that said, I hated both of the Tactics Advance games. Terrible gimmicks.
 
Good choice I think, I thought about him too for a second but I never ended up finishing the game.

I've been trying to think of characters for a few minutes now and I can't come up with any. This thread made my mind go blank.

"Conker the Squirrel, a greedy, heavy-drinking red squirrel who is attempting to return home to his girlfriend."

While I don't have red hair, I do drink heavily at times and I too have attempted to return home to my girlfriend (now wife) in a drunken state and have had misadventures.

We all know the days after a drinking session all too well. To quote the great squirrel "Oh... man! It's gonna be a long day".

Plus he fights a giant poo monster. A giant poo monster. Who hasn't met someone they thought were a giant poo monster. Oh this game is just about my whole life.

I know you said nothing fancy but, I just couldn't stop writing.

No More Heroes is one of my favorite video games of all time for, rather untraditional reasons.

Travis Touchdown is absolutely someone I identify with. The character we all see, that's just something he wears on his sleeve. There's a lot more to Travis than your prototypical Japanese video game bad ass. Although he most certainly is that.

He's a down on his luck 20 something or other. He doesn't have much friends, money or women. No More Heroes is all about Travis living vicariously through this assassination gig. Just like us gamers live vicariously through our games.

So, like Travis, I'm a down on my luck 20 something with not much in the way of money or fame or glory. But, when I'm playing a video game, I can shirk all my bad qualities and be who I want to be with no one to hold me down. No one to judge me, no one to tell me I can't. And, in essence, that's what Travis wants. He wants to escape his normal life and find glory and power in something much bigger than him.

One of my favorite moments from No More Heroes is this monologue during the first ranked fight against Death Metal.


"I feel as if I'm looking at my future self. Mega bucks, big-ass house, fast cars, dining in style with a world class chef and a trusted nutritionist counting every calorie! A team of hot Yoga instructors to keep me in shape... Nurses, to attend to my body... Maids and loyal servants at my beck and call... On the weekends, ten babes knocking on my door every two hours... Every day full of exitement and luxury, that'd be the life! Everything in its right place, it's the perfect life, it's the life of winners! That'll be my life! I thirst for selflessness, hypocrites lusting for their own desire to get killed by young rookies like me! This is how it goes down... And for the old killers? They'll croak anyway. I guess you could call this a "Comedy". I realize there's really nothing here for me. But what else CAN I do but keep going? Maybe I should've been a little more careful before I jumped in... Gotta find the exit... Gotta find that exit, to Paradise! But I can't see it... I can't see anything! There's this sense of doom running down my spine like it's... Like it's trying to suck the life out of me! I need to get rid of it, before I bail... Something deeper, somethng deeper then my instincts is taunting me! Can't find the exit... Can't find the exit... Can't find the exit... Can't find the exit... Can't find the exit..."

This quote sticks with me. We experience a rare moment of rationality in Travis. Here, he lays out his motivations for the entire game. He realizes he's in way over his head, but it's not enough to slow him down. He ignores any instances of doubt and throws them all away. Realizing he can't possibly come out of this alive, he figures, what the hell, let's go all the way.

This is where I find myself now. I've got little in terms of money, I'm barely scraping by. I wan't to give up, I think about giving up and throwing it all away, but what's the point of that? I do the impossible all the time whenever i fire up a video game, let's put my determination and skill to the test.

Life: you better be ready for me, fuckhead!

Justin from Grandia

He lives in a world where adventurers going into vast ruins and exploring a vastly unknown world is a common and romantic profession that is large enough to where there's a whole administrative organization built around it, but he's not in it for that. Sure, the adventure and fame is alluring, but he wants to be an adventurer it because he wants to learn. He understands that there's more to these fantastic locations than treasure and fame. He knows that each ruin, each site, each library, each city, each location represents a portion of his world's past that can contribute to a greater narrative and wants to find whatever he can to add to humanity's narrative of its past. I realized a long while back that it's basically that exact drive that got me interested in archaeology and history as an actual profession, and why Justin has remained one of my favorite gaming characters throughout the years.

Of course, he's also obsessed with it because his dad was too, but let's overlook that.

I really wish there were more heroes in games that were in the adventure just to find out new things about the world and its history. I really can't think of many other heroes like him, so it'd be a nice change of pace.
 
Okay, here is what I've decided.

I loved all your entries. Every person thought about their game character and tried to relate it to their own life. I was especially moved about the archaeology entry, as well as another I received concerning a particularly selfless character.

However, the winner of this contest is Yo Yo Switch. Thorough, thoughtful, just well done overall. Great entry.

Late as always

so much for my serious sam entry.
 
Just wanted to thank Speevy again.

Didn't even think I'd win, just took it as an opportunity to talk about NMH, so thanks again.

One last wet sloppy thanks. The bastard lied to me and gifted me both Penny Arcade episodes when all I asked for was the first XD

He said before today :P (edit: I see you noticed now :P)
I figured you would at least by like mine
of technically yesterday :P

overall I like this wishlist idea though... might do some giveaways that way myself

Coulda swore i had it on my wishlist

oh well

hope the next person will enjoy it.

likewise lol.
I think I had it on there at one point... and then took it off when I was going to buy it for the 360... and forgot to put it back on after it turned out the 360 version I got told they had was cracked so I didn't buy it lol
 
Well I've had the game on my Blockbuster queue from that free trial but I doubt it'll ever arrive because of how backed up their orders are. I'd much rather play on PC anyway. Would that count?
 
yeah I will get in on this giveaway idea lol.
First person to post a picture of their wish list with Bad Rats on it (added before aug 2nd) gets a code for a copy of this apparently horribly game (from what I have heard lol)
