It's okay... It's Like Water Under The Bridge

Wednesday! Yes it is the middle of the week and not something always to look forward to because there is so much of the week remaining. There is that little thing about me making a list though and you wondering what it is all about. Well this week decided to go with the best number 2's for those villians we love in gaming. So sit back and be prepared to argue that I got it wrong.

5. Revolver Ocelot - Metal Gear Solid Series

So I figure many of you will think he should be higher and I may agree, but the thing is his allegiance is all over the place and I for one am not really sure whose side he is really on. So he makes the list, but not higher than this.

4. Kamek - Super Mario Bros. Series

So everyone's favourite guy riding a broom. Well I use favourite carefully. If anything you know if this guy is around the level is going to be fun in one way or another.

3. Goro - Mortal Kombat Series

This guy screams henchmen. He really is the one that popularized the role and made it something to be developed further. So we have to give him props for that.

2. Harley Quinn - Batman Arkham City

One of the most interesting and disturbing characters from comics made her gaming appearance and we were not disappointed. Her "type" of characters has spawned others throughout the gaming universe and for that she deserves a lot of praise.

1. Vaas Montenegro - Far Cry 3

Was there a doubt? For the most part we thought he was the big baddie of the game. He is so good you want to forget the last part of the game because you thought this character was just masterful. 

There you have it this week's list. I am sure there will be some backlash with this one as always let me know one way or another.

Maybe We Don't Exist

Well here we are on yet another Wednesday looking to stand out more so than all others. Now when I was thinking about this week's list I was thinking about the exact same thing. You know those characters who you thought are/were so interesting they deserve their own game. Well here they are my top 5 video game characters who I think deserve their own game.

5. Vaas Montenegro - Far Cry 3

So yes he died in Far Cry 3, but wouldn't it be interesting to have a prequel type game that was dedicated to his story. Where we could learn the definition of insanity?

4. Scorpion - Mortal Kombat Series

So of any fighting game he has the most interesting story so why wouldn't you want to see more of it. Just feel like delving into his past more would be something, which would be quite interesting.

3. Haytham Kenway - Assassin's Creed Series

So we got a little taste of him in Assassin's Creed III. Every Assassin's Creed fan though want's to see him as the main in his own game. I doubt we will ever see it, but it is something we can keep wishing for.

2. Victor Sullivan - Uncharted Series

So we know Uncharted 4 will be the last we will see of the Nathan Drake character. Doesn't mean the series itself is done though. I have always loved Sully and I think a game with him as the main and a younger version would show us that much more.

1. Vivi Ornitier - Final Fantasy IX

Now I realize some could argue he is dead or that Final Fantasy IX's story was already a lot about him. This iconic Black Mage though deserves something all his own. It could be the events following the end of Final Fantasy IX to something completely different. Whatever it is I know it would be well received 

So there they are the characters in video games who I believe deserve their own time in the lime light as the main character in their respective games. What do you all think? Who should I have included? As always let me know.

The Right Thing - What Is It?

Wednesday! Yes we all know what that means. It means it is time for a list! Now what is the list going to be about this week? Well I know I have done my favourite quotes from video games before, but now I am going to go with what I would call iconic quotes from video games. My rules for this is that the quote itself must be tied to the game and it's narrative. So here are my choices

5. War. War never changes - Fallout Series

They remind of this fact int every game without fail. It really does bring home the entire identity of the game, which is why it makes this list.

4. Would you kindly - Bioshock

Now at first you don't even realize this is part of the plot of the game, that is until you do and it all comes crashing down. I am still wow'd at how well this line is embedded into the game.

3. Did I ever tell you the definition of insanity? - Far Cry 3

Isn't it interesting in an open world game in which you are doing a series of tasks which seem repetitive, but not at the same time the villain hits this right on. Not only because the voice acting performance is flawless it just hits home the game as a whole.

2. But our Princess is in another castle - Super Mario Bros.

It is what keeps you going. Time and time again you just cant seem to go to the right castle with all of those Bowser impostors

1. It is dangerous to go alone take this - The Legend of the Zelda

The old man. At times he is frustrating, but these words really are the entire point of the game. They are in my mind the reason the series has been so successful.

There you have it. Do you think you have others that may be tied to the plot of the game? As always you know what to do!
