Okay so in two weeks I'm doing my video game and trivia show at the next big convention I'm doing. They really only wanted a trivia show and I was happy to oblige, but one of the sponsors (i.e. companies that gave me free games to giveaway) gentley insisted there should be more so I can properly promote their game. Not entirely unfair, but fuck now I have to work.... So I'm taking the lazy man's route and pulling out the old, here's what famous characters look like then vs. now. Doesn't require much research, so I can still keep digging for trivia questions.

So now I've come to you guys for a few ideas. I'm looking for classic (or at least old) characters that have had a game released within the last two or three years or at least has one announced. So far I have:

  • Pac-Man
  • Mario
  • Donkey Kong
  • Link
  • Samus
  • Leisure Suit Larry
  • Master Chief
  • Ryu
  • Q*bert
  • Lara Croft
  • Snake
  • Spryo the Dragon

Ideally I'd like have 15 characters to spotlight. I've got 12 and let's face it, Spyro is stretching it. I'd like to also stay away from any other Nintendo characters if that's possible. I've debated adding Princess Peach though. Anyway if you guys have a few more for me I'd like to see them.

Ryu Hyabusa?

Street Fighter characters? Not sure if your Ryu is from SF or not.

Street Fighter Ryu. I'm passing up on Ninja Gaiden Ryu for the sake of avoiding confusion. Debating including Chun Li too.

Dante is a good idea. I considered Duke, but I also want characters that have evolved a little over time. Duke is virtually unchanged. Maybe Rayman but I honestly don't think anyone gives a shit about Rayman.

And that brings up the subject of my next panel. What is the best video game character nickname for your penis?

Well, "Sonic" would probably be a bad nickname in this case.
