Good choices everybody.

@thelifatree I'm still waiting to see your pick.

@Mendicate Bias is that your tattoo?

My honorable mention would be Pac-Man he ruled the arcades back in the day.

haha nooooo

I know if I ever get a tattoo like that I would so regret it in 20 years

are you asking favorite videogame character? or Icon, cause I don't know if my character's an icon

If he has no personality, he's an icon (Sephiroth/Cloud not included, because they represent either other genres or things that are beyond genres)

And that's why Lightning, Kefka, Yuna, most other FF characters and Snake aren't game icons :P

And my favorite is probably Sephiroth.



Bet with Dr.A.Peter.Nintendo that Super Mario Galaxy 2 won't sell 15 million copies up to six months after it's release, the winner will get Avatar control for a week and signature control for a month.

Icon definition:

  1. also i·kon  (ī'kŏn')

    1. An image; a representation.

    2. A representation or picture of a sacred or sanctified Christian personage, traditionally used and venerated in the Eastern Church.

  2. An important and enduring symbol: "Voyager will take its place ... alongside such icons of airborne adventure as The Spirit of St. Louis  and [the] Bell X-1 " (William D. Marbach).

  3. One who is the object of great attention and devotion; an idol: "He is ... a pop icon designed and manufactured for the video generation" (Harry F. Waters).


     4. a sign or representation that stands for its object by virtue of a resemblance or analogy to it.

Link, Snake, Samus and Mario because I know all their main games will be awesome.
