The 5 Character I Relate to the Most

There was an article in my Game Informer Magazine that I just came across lastnight, It was about how far the gaming industry has come as a story-telling medium, with such great story driven games like Mass-Effect, Bio Shock, and Call of Duty 4.
And with better written stories come better developed characters.And it seems a friend of mine had the same thought, This morning on a different site he posted a blog just like this one.So without further ado, Here's the 5 Characters I most relate to.

5 - Jackie Estacado (The Darkness)
Ole Jackie....The poor guy goes through hell and still doesnt get the girl...Story of my life

4 - Luigi (Super Mario Bro's Series)
Luigi..I've heard some people place Luigi under "the most annoying" list. personally I think he's way underrated, How would you feel playing second fiddle to your shorter brother constantly?
As Eddie Griffin said in The New Guy "Behind every great hero..there's some pissed off little guy who dont get no credit!!"

3 - Ling Tong (Dynasty Warriors 5)
This is the guy I'm expecting a few people not to know. Granted Koei isn't known for its incredible story-telling or deep gameplay. You have to give them a kudos for taking potentially the most likeable character ever...and turning him into a total and complete @ss-wad The best thing about Ling Tong is it that he shows that somtimes cynasism is the best way to get out alive. And that somtimes you may just wind-up bestfriends with your fathers killer.

2 - Lloyd (Tales of Symphonia)
One of my favorite characters from one of my favorite games. Lloyd is one of the guys I think everyone can relate to in one way or another.

1 - Altair (Assassins Creed)
Altair stands as one of my favorite protagonists in games so far. And for once in a game I finally found a character that reflected my personality pretty well. Altair can be brash,impatient,and a smart-ass when the time allows. But what really stood out to me was how he could be convincingly cunning and intelligent, But at the same time a total nimrod.Time after time his victims keep giving clues that all is not as it seems. Yet junior here doesn't seem to figure anything out until its all too late.

I tried to upload some pictures with each character but either my internet is being finnicky or its Glitchspot.

Well...guess I'am not leaving

Yeah me again....

I said in my last blog that I would'nt be around as much..well scratch that. The reason I thought I'd be leaving was I thought I had found a full-time job. But no dice, A friend of my family tried to get me a job at some auto-part forging plant that he works for. All looked good until their department downsized, They were supposed to be hiring like 3 people or somthing like that, now I think this guy said they ended up laying off a few people. And I suppose finding a job is only gonna get harder as my country's economy continiues in the tailspin its in at the moment.

But on a cheery note. With all thats been goin on with me lately,I had completely forgotten about the release of Too Human, Which is now only 5 days away!! I went to Gamespot Friday and got my reserve on it (they only had 2 left).So by this time next Tuesday I'll be locked in my room unshaven, probably unchanged, and with a 12-pack of mountain dew in my lap.

And I know I've talked about posting some of the songs I've written before, But I never have for some reason. But now I have this one that I'm really happy with, Its not even finished yet but I may post what I have of it tomorrow.

That is if you guys are at all interested in reading it.

It's been one of those weeks.

Hey guys,Sorry for the inactivity. I've been gone for a few days again.

I was modded a few days ago for "disruptive modding" or some sh--,I deleted my own post from a board. but whatever, I lost almost 60% for it (harsh? maybe just a tad), So now I'll be in level 14 even longer....

And sadly, This will be somthing of a farewell blog for the time being. No I'm not leaving Gamespot or anything that drastic (so put away the party-hats Saren).I've just had alot of crap come up all at once, some stuff that really needs to be dealt with.So I wont have as much time to be as active as I like to be, I'll still do my best to pop in on all your blogs every few days or so.

Oh and while I'm thinking about it,Jono's Avatar he's made me has caused alittle bit of "Racial Identity Crisis" for me.I've had more than one person ask me my..(how to say this politically correct?)..Ah hell I've never been correct anyway..Some people asked me what color I was...Let me give you my heritage back-ground. I'am 1/2 Polish,1/4 German,1/8 French,and 1/8 Irish.Therefore If you do the math properly. You will come to the conclusion that I am so white I would'nt be able to tan if you dropped me on the face of the sun. (no its not somthing im proud of)

Anway thats all I've got to say for now. I'll see ya guys around.

Got my new avatar. and some other stuff.

Okay my Avatar issue has finally been resolved thanks to xXJ0N0K3RXx. I should have it on here whenever he decides to give me the link.

And since I really have nothing else to talk about in tonights blog, I thought I'd share an amusing story about my day today.

Today started like any other normal day. I woke up, I think it was around 8am or so. rolled out of bed, started my usual routine, got a cup of coffee, shaved, showered. Got online for alittle while checked my local newspaper for a job. Looked up a few friends I had lost contact with on Facebook.com. All in all it was a normal start to a normal day...Then it happened. I went to my room for a fresh shirt. Opened my dresser drawer only to find this nasty brown wolf spider sitting there on my stack of shirts. Now for those of you who dont know me all that well. I'm not much of a wuss I'm usually willing to try anything atleast once. However, for as long as I can remember I've been terrified of spiders, And this thing was a biiig S.O.B. So reacting on pure instinct and adreniline, I grabbed the closest weapon within my reach and began defending myself. I proceeded to beat the living crap out of my dresser using my belt...

Hope you got a chuckle outta that...I sure as hell didnt.

And while I'm thinking about it. I know I'll probably be crucified for saying this..but I've started playing runescape again. If anyone else does leave me a message or just add me to you friends list. My screenname is Mars Tear.

This thing called Giantbomb.

okay so I've read like 7 or 8 blogs today about this Giantbomb.com. because I am a follower and apparently cant make my own decisons I joined too.

My name is Havok, same as it is here only without the hyphens ( - ) So add me or leave your name in your comment.

Well yeah. anyway I'm finally back for good. The whole bus trip was it's own hell on earth but I think I covered that already. I finally helped my cuz unpack all his crap and he's moved in so now I get to go back home.

And lastly. I want a new Avatar..I know we've been though this in the past and it was a painful process, But I'm gettin bored with Raziel and I want somthin that reflects me alittle better. Mostly somthin to show my Sarcastic/Cynical attitude. If you have some suggestions or even better an Image let me know.
