Alliteration rules!

Note: Please do not pick "other" just to get around the whole "no Freeman" thing. I just want to see what the favorite character would be w/o Freeman involved.

My actual favorite character ever was Jack Burton, who might count in the same way 007 does, but then, I don't think anyone ever made a BTiLC game. Unless you count Mortal Kombat.

In any event, I vote other.

Favorite character from what?
If you just mean the people (and AI) that you listed, then GLaDOS.
I'm not sure what to say with this little structure.

As with the last few poll's, my choice is Solid Snake, but why no Freeman? Because he's the obvious favorite? Just because he's not your choice, doesnt mean he hasnt won all the poll's. It seem's kind of fruitless to keep having these things, if no one will accept the result's.

I made this poll because someone on Hali's topic requested that someone make a poll without Freeman. BTW, Metalocalypse rules.

Snake. Naked Snake to be specific. Snake is the one for me if Freeman is not an option. He's got REAL wolverine-like healing skills (none of that wishy washy "my screen goes red, then I get better" stuff that MC has), is the ultimate authority with a knife and handgun, and you'll never see him coming in time.
Also, him fighting The Joy was nothing short of freaking poetry.
(Sidenote: I understand that you make a freeman-free poll considering the controversy on these boards regarding the bespectacled man as of late. Man that was a lot of problem, wasn't it?)

I can't imagine why anyone would pick Freeman...

Unlike many other games, playing as him didn't provide me with any empathy towards him, unlike the REAL characters in HL, like Barney, Alex and Eli.

I'll pick Conker.

Picking Freeman in like picking yourself. I requested someone make a poll sans Freeman because in the last three polls, Freeman wiped the floor with the competition. So, he's the favorite, who's next?

Voted GLaDOS for its black humor.

The limitations to the poll system on this forum (i.e. not allowing 200+ entries) mean that it's ill suited for this. For my "other", I'm tempted to put Minsc from Baldur's Gate. Between the unpredictability of his berserker ability, his random comments during battle, his "giant space hamster" and obsession with "the forces of good", he's the only character who has ever convinced me I was administrating a Special Olympics training camp.
"Boo likes the forest!"
"Evil, meet sword! Sword, meet evil!"
"Buttkicking for goodness!"
"You should be carefull with those you trust. Not all are as loyal as Minsc and Boo."

On the other end of the spectrum is the character that convinced me I was operating a Jedi work program for the criminally insane, HK 47. "Love is making a shot to the knees of a target at 1000 yards with an Aratech sniper rifle and a Tri-light scope."

GLADOS is the best! And portal is amazing. The type of black humor that GLADOS uses is just perfect, really hope theres a portal 2.

GLaDOS is the only one on that poll who I'd even put in my top twenty characters.

Jack Carver? Really...? The only thing I remember him by is his orange Haiwaiian t-shirt.
Crash Bandicoot needs to be on that list, he's frickin' cool.

Cryptosporidium.

I know many think DAH is a bad series but I think crypto is the only character from a game that I didn't want to kill(which I probably did unless the game did not allow it or I was the character).

Samus, how is this not a choice?

Also, even though he needs to get back to his roots Mario is the face of videogames and clearly deserves to be an option over this Jack Carver guy who noone has ever heard of ever.

You are attempting to make a poll of everyone's personal preference of character out of every game ever created and you don't expect a collosal "other" bar?

for her dark humor: GLADOS

do you remember that time when you were going into the fire and I was all like "goodbye" and you were all like *deep male voice* "NO WAY" and then I was like "we pretended to murder you"... that was great...

And Snake has a magical suit that stops bees from hurting him. And a magical suit that stops fire from hurting him. And a sniper rifle.

I would have to say as hard as it is, I am going to go with.... A tie between Garnet and mary from harvest moon simply because I can relate to both of them. I just like to pretend the ruddy, deep blacksmiths apprentice is really just a butch girl with a heart of gold.
