I'm really sad that Guybrush Threepwood lost out to the doofus from Shadow of the Collossus, but happily surprised that Bubble Bobble beat out Master Chief. AND they're beating out Sonic right now, too! Go Bubble Bobble!

Hey, Wander is a bad ass... much more so than a lot of other game characters. I'd give him chops over Guybrush... besides, it's more in character for Guybrush to lose anyways

Maybe he lost to him in an insult sword fighting contest.

Oh btw, the Bubble Bobble guys beating Master Chief is because of a 4chan voting drive. Just a heads up on that.

Master Chief is far to generic to be worth the vote anyway. He's basically the distillation of the Space Marine arch type, while still being devoid of character.

*sigh* Manny Calavera didn't even make it past the first round. I don't care about this "tournament" anymore.
Nah, Bubble Bobble is going to be in the finals thanks to 4chan, possibly even win.

The hate is strong in the guy in the second video.
Here's why people hate Halo: It's main character is the distillation of the Space Marine type, in that he has no character, no defining traits other than being a great soldier, no history, and barely says ANYTHING during the entire game. In short, he's everything wrong with the FPS genre, where having your protagonist be a faceless, nameless, ageless, genderless, and voiceless entity is the norm, not the exception.
I'd also wager it has a lot to do with the fact that Halo is the game that really started bringing people into gaming that the old school really didn't want to associate with, namely "Jocks" and "Popular" people, the very people who ostracized us throughout our early lives for being gamers. Gaming was our bastion for a long time, our place to be accepted and our place to be ourselves, and some of us simply don't want to share that with people who were our enemies for so long. It doesn't help that we are seeing gaming as a whole shift to accommodate these newcomers and completely disregard the desires of the people who supported it for so long.

There are so many wonderful heroes that aren't on the list, and so many shit characters that it invalidates the credibility of the list.

"I'm tired of people blindly praising call of duty" You know, for actually having some kind of polish on it, and not being the shitstain that halo was.

That guy is a fucking moron. I study games religiously but have no idea what Bubble Bobble is?
