ShadowPaladin V1.0 Posted March 30, 2005 Posted March 30, 2005 If you could be named after a video game character which name would you choose? I have to agree with Volourn. Bioware is pretty much dead now. Deals like this kills development studios. 478327[/snapback]
Azure79 Posted March 30, 2005 Posted March 30, 2005 Hmmm. Does choosing the name include receiving all the powers that those characters have? If it does I choose Ryu from Ninja Gaiden 1 Reasons 1. Ryu, a nice and simple name. 2. I get to dress up as a ninja 3. I get to wield the Dragon Sword! 4. Jump and Slash, most overpowered ability ever. 5. I have the ability to cling to walls. 6. I get to hurl enormous boomerang shurikens bigger than my entire body. 7. Irene is pretty hot for a 8-bit lady 8. Later on I get to go one on one with the ladies from Dead or Alive. 9. I will be free to hate birds because they take 3 bars of health off me. 10. I get to dress up as a ninja.
Nartwak Posted March 30, 2005 Posted March 30, 2005 I think I'll go with Ganondorf again. Ryu is a good name but I already dress up as a ninja. Also: Isn't Irene dead?

Also: Isn't Irene dead? <{POST_SNAPBACK}> No I don't think so. If my memory serves me correctly she supposedly dies at the beginning of Ninja Gaiden 3 killed by Ryu no less, but later it turns out that it was just a ploy to reveal some plot or another. She dies in part 2 but the Dragon Sword saves her. WOO Dragon Sword!
Nartwak Posted March 30, 2005 Posted March 30, 2005 WOO Dragon Sword! Alright, I think it's coming back to me now. Thanks.
Gorth Posted March 30, 2005 Posted March 30, 2005 That would be Luxor from my all time favourite game. He gets to rule the known world and the name is easy on the tongue. Even a non-english speaker like me has an idea of how to pronounce it “He who joyfully marches to music in rank and file has already earned my contempt. He has been given a large brain by mistake, since for him the spinal cord would surely suffice.” - Albert Einstein
ShadowPaladin V1.0 Posted March 30, 2005 Author Posted March 30, 2005 My lewd sense of humour thinks it would be funny to be called Solid Snake... Could probably make a great living doing Viagra adds between saving the world I have to agree with Volourn. Bioware is pretty much dead now.

Child of Flame Posted March 30, 2005 Posted March 30, 2005 Morte for me. What I really want to be is The Nameless One though. How wonderful it would be to be able to drift through life with no name, no one ever able to find you if you didn't want to be found. Names have power. :ph34r:
Yst Posted March 30, 2005 Posted March 30, 2005 There are no video game characters which already existed when I was born that I would wish to be named after at the time, seeing as there were almost no video game "characters" before I was born at all. Nor would I wish to later assume a video game character's name, by any means. I think it would be terrible. As far as things with which to culturally identify one's person in the most meaningful of ways, I'd hesitate to use literature itself, much less to use video games (and there has never been a video game in all of history whose characterisation can hold a candle to even the minor classics of the written word). If I were compelled to choose a video game character's name, I'd choose one which could otherwise be interpreted as not being that of a video game character, and never tell anyone its other origin. Something of Christian or otherwise Anglo-Saxon origin.

Nur Ab Sal Posted March 30, 2005 Posted March 30, 2005 Kyp Durron HERMOCRATES: Nur Ab Sal was one such king. He it was, say the wise men of Egypt, who first put men in the colossus, making many freaks of nature at times when the celestial spheres were well aligned. SOCRATES: This I doubt. We are hearing a child's tale.

Nitron Posted April 1, 2005 Posted April 1, 2005 It's been ages since I've played BG II, but let me see if I can still do this: Thaxll'sillyia or maybe Nizidramanii'yt. :D Though with a name like Torak Skullsplitter (IWD II), nobody would mess with you.
