Video Game Character of 2008!

It was a tough choice.

2008 saw a lot of strong candidates....the Hamburger Helper hand from Super Smash Bros. Brawl proved a major challenge, but in the end, one deserving candidate could not be overlooked, so it is with that, I congratulate.......


THE SUICIDAL BEAR!!!!!!!


Yep. Life is tough in the A.C.

You've got that damn racoon bossing you atound, that annoying gay cat bugging you trying to get your personal info (Probably out to spam our inboxes with ads for half priced viagra), that ghost that wants to play hide and seek when you're just trying to enjoy some night fishing....it's all so much, and Nintendo acknowledged the stresses of life as a video game character, and strong parralels to the life of a modern video gamer, by giving us a hero we can all admire and look up.

Honorable mention once again goes to Sleeping Doc Conners, the sleepingest, most Doc Connery character from 1984's Suestprobe II: The Amazing Spiderman. Doc had a strong year in 2008 after some setbacks in 2007, and he's primed to make a strong comeback in 2009.

I have been informed by the Nerds of America that the character I referred to as a "suicidal bear" is in fact, an otter.

I don't care.

Thank you.
