I have a few thoughts on Wenduag I could share.

Sadly a lot of video games are not very good at romance.

But assuming we mean characters as opposed to romance side quests in games, my favorite couple is probably going to have to be SOLID SNAKE AND OTACON, HAPPY PRIDE, SHIT'S GAY ALL YEAR 'ROUND.

Most annoying character, huh.

Well, here's a grab bag. I also have a personal distaste for characters who refuse to accept any kind of push-back or disagreement with what they do and react like spoiled children.

Skull Face wins most annoying though because NOT HE'S EVEN ENTERTAININGLY EVIL.

Which character would I want to be or be like? See this is actually MORE DIFFICULT because all the games I play have people who are MISERABLE. Resident Evil, Metro, any Baldur's Gate game, Metal Gear games, any Star Wars game, any Witcher, Wolfenstein...

Doom Guy, therapy is expensive.

My guilty pleasure game is MEET N' FUCK KINGDOM, STEVE-

It's Way of the Samurai 4. Which is kind of the same thing as my joke answer but with a lot more swordfighting and just... it's fucking bizarre. It's like Yakuza made by a person who thinks the main story should ONLY be the sub-stories.

A game I find to be personally underrated is Alpha Protocol. I think that the fact no one has tried to do what this game did is moderately upsetting. No one has tried to make you actually commit to being a high-functioning sociopath spy since this game and while it plays like mud, it's INTERESTING.

Ah fuck this is a hard question. My favorite character... I'd honestly say that it has to be Raziel from the Legacy of Kain games. There's just something about being the only person who has true free will still managing to get yanked around by everyone around him before pulling off a final fuck you.

First video game is actually kind of a cliche, but it's true.

I played Super Mario Bros for the NES with my grandpa a lot, because he thought video games were a pretty cool thing and he wanted to try them out. I also played a lot of Duck Hunt, but Mario in specific was my first.

Yeah I'll steal this from Thunder.

Jacob Stone, aka Kamen Rider Golden. A man kidnapped by an evil organization dedicated to world conquest, the only organic part of his body remaining is his brain. Turned against his masters. A cyborg of immense strength. Kind of a dick, but eh. Warrior of Justice. Mid-season upgrade form included!

Inquisitor Talon. Echani. Padawan from the Clone Wars taken with his master into the Inquisitorius. Formerly soft-spoken and gentle, now quiet, leering, domineering, menacing, and everything the Dark Side corrupts a person into writ large. Dark Jedi, actively trying to become Sith. Huge asshole.

Built up a kind of backlog of likes, so more OCs!

Sir Amra Damascus af Grald, seeker of lost technology, slayer of monsters, wielder of one of the last arcane weapons of a lost era, member of the disgraced Gunslingers. Comes from a great merchant caravan. Has a husband waiting for him back home.

Zion Sokolov. Agent of the New World Order. A man in search of the truth. The smoking man always gives hints, but never anything concrete. Consummate professional - this Technocracy thing is a 9-5 with extra steps. Real passion is VHS tapes. Loves wrestling. Hates hemophages. Chill guy, tovarishch.

Austin Anderson. Thin-Blood. Without fail, the most put upon man in a five mile radius. Accidentally Embraced by a moron. Works as a doctor. Moonlights as a maker and dealer of vampire drugs. Careening headlong into tragedy and misfortune. Gets along best with the Nosferatu. Gregg's enjoyer.

TK-333. Trip. Var Talnus. Joined the Stormtrooper Corp to escape Coruscant's lower levels. Deserted two years into active service. Travels the galaxy with a mysterious woman found in cryo-stasis on Ilum. Tries to be a gunslinger, doesn't have the gumption for it. Much more successful being a fencer.

Raziel Raphael. Malkavian. His problem is that he has amnesia. Only thing he remembers for certain is Raziel from Soul Reaver and unconsciously models himself after. Is a Hound. Involved in layers of Jyhad. Unknowingly 9th generation. Has a girlfriend called Alice. Art by @nostalgiachan.bsky.social

Kaldur Redshun. Red Talon Ahroun. A homid in spite of the impossibility of it. Ambient fury. Never dishonest, frequently mistaken. A cultural rebel by token of his existence. Thoughtful. Supportive. A warrior who fights against the bullshit of a broken system. Likes animals. Hates the bus.

I have more than you think.

Sprigatito is my favorite.

If you see this, post a vampire! 🩸

Austin Anderson, Thin-Blood Ventrue. Some would say he barely counts as a vampire, but a lot of those people aren't alive anymore.
