I don't know what to do with you people. How Gordon Freeman makes it in this thread once is a mystery to me, but it seems like we have a consensus that looking like a system administrator that lives with his mom is one of the coolest looking characters in video games. Hell. I don't know whether to be shocked or ashamed.

Here 'da list', peepz.

3) Dante; Devil May Cry. The whole point of the character is to look cool while kicking ass. I don't even like anime, but this dude is jjust pure watchability

2) Venom; Ultimate Spider Man. Just nasty, ripped, and evil. Wrapped in black. With sharp teeth. Like Dane Cook says "Why not me???"

1) Bryan Fury; Tekken. The coolest fighting martial arts style/stance in the history of mankind. Almost everything in his arsenal makes you squint when it connects, because it looks so damn powerful... and he's not really a big guy. Shirt, no shirt, hair, no hair. Doesn't matter. He always brings the pain, and you can tell the moment you see him.

Honorable mention to Snake. Yeah, that dude is harsh, no doubt.

1: CnC Generals: Zero Hour (with mods)

2: CoH

3: Starcraft

I'm going by skirmish rules, I know not to get my hopes up for campaign/storyline stuff with RTS's.

sorry, the benchies wereere. I am a tool

Some benchies of all the best cards as of this month. I am quite surprised by how well this card fares.

I would suggest you google harder, there have got to be tons of articles out there that mention the card architecture.

Deion is basically saying "Yeah, I've heard of this, it's more popular than you think. Let me explain the allure"

In doing that, he's not really taking a position, but it's not a huge stretch to intepret "Here is why this activity is liked" to "Here is why I like this activity". Even though explaining the "merits" of dogfighting isn't the same as endorsing it.... it's pretty darn close., and if he were smarter, he would have added "... this is a vicious habit that has to stop, and it's unfortunate it seems like it will claim the career and legacy of Michael Vick". Or something like that, to show that it's wrong.

But no one ever accused Prime Time of being the sharpest tool in the shed.

While I love the GTA series, I know what people mean, both about the turnoff as far as the "gangsta life" and "more of the same". I think with GTA IV, they are recognizing this, and taking it in a new direction. I mean, it's great that they are trying to think "outside of the box" with their main characters. It's not good for games in general if the lead is always a white guy with dark hair. They should support character customization like EA did with The Godfather - that's the future.

Another problem I've had with the series since VC is their sense of humor. They are trying way too hard to be funny. And usually, it's real slimeball humor, nothing funnier than just blatant shock value stuff. I don't mind a dirty joke or anything, but most of their stuff is just lame. I don't forsee so much of that in GTA IV.
