RaistMT Posted September 11, 2009 Share Posted September 11, 2009 Hey all, I just wanted to post and see if anyone else would think this is cool or creepy... I am a major RPG player, have been playing RPG's since the days of pen and paper D&D. I am always trying keep up with what will be coming out in the genre so when I noticed Alpha Protocol I naturally started to read up on it to see what it was going to be like and then I noticed the main characters name... it was weird and I had to look twice because my name is Michael Thornton! As you should notice my name is spelled with an "n" where as the characters is not, but it is still kinda cool, and the fact that I am an Army Vet makes it even better that this game will be in the present and feature an up and coming spy. So...would you think that this would be cool or weird to play a game where the character has the same name as you do?(or almost the same) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cl_Flushentityhero Posted September 11, 2009 Share Posted September 11, 2009 I have a pretty rare name, so it isn't an issue I've really pondered. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SteveThaiBinh Posted September 12, 2009 Share Posted September 12, 2009 There should be at least one occasion in the game where someone calls him 'Thornton' and he gets annoyed about it.

mkreku Posted September 14, 2009 Share Posted September 14, 2009 One of the characters in Mercenaries/Mercenaries 2 has my name. It's really creepy when they call him on the radio or shout his name when you pass by! Fun, but creepy. Swedes, go to: Spel2, for the latest game reviews in swedish!

ltolman Posted September 22, 2009 Share Posted September 22, 2009 My real name is Larry Tolman I was playing EverQuest (1) and saw a NPC named "Larkin Tolman" Now while his first name wasnt the same as mine, it was kinda cool seeing a NPC having the same last name as me. And I dont think "Tolman" is that popular of a last name; I dont know. But for those that read this, check your telephone book, do you see any Tolmans in there? Reply here and let me know Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlphaPro Posted September 23, 2009 Share Posted September 23, 2009 i modded morrowind, added me, then played the game and found a guy with my name in there! HOW COOL IS THAT! build a man a fire and he will be warm for a day, but set a man on fire and he'll be warm for the rest of his life. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
