The contest is about the best character. Not the character the revolutionized gaming the most. It's just a popularity "cool" contest. Gordon Freeman is "cooler" than Mario.

Mario is an empty, one-dimensional character, given worth through omnipotency and general whoring and milking by Nintendo.

By the way, he's as overrated as Sonic or Master Chief. Deal with it.

Ok. umm... Mario Party 1-8, Mario kart (no offense), mario golf, mario tennis, mario has way too much milking of the franchise. Therefore, gordon freeman wins.

I do say Keith, these immature people who clearly aren't as mature and witty as you simply MUST be trolled constantly and flamed about their age,having nothing to do with anything! Because as we all know it has proven, by your userpage, that you are indeed 21.

Yeah, except it isn't about the fact that if Mario wasn't around video games wouldn't be around. It's about peoples favorite character. Gordan Freeman FTW!

Why are we giving a shit about a contest that has been hosted MANY times on many different websites? A fucking IMAGINARY contest?
It's not like the videogame gods made it or anything, gamestop just made it for attention whoring.

There isn't any video gaming noobs, only, opinions & preferences? Surely the idea of noob, lie's within newbie, in terms of both experience and skill.

Blatantly this generation are more experienced in Half Life, than Mario, so the logical decision is theirs to take from a biased point of view.

It's a sign that Japanese developers are failing to reach the same success they did in earlier generations.

Valve are the biggest trolls alive. They make these L4D2 boycotters rage, they make people at TF2 rage because of MEDUHLS and HATS and HALOS, they make Nintendo fans rage by helping Gordon in an insignificant internet competition.

In the beginning the Universe was created. This has made a lot of people very angry and has been widely regarded as a bad move.

Congratulations Gordan Freeman. Maybe next time mario when they have a contest for biggest sell out video game character.

wait-wait-wait-WAIT.
Gordon Freeman is GENERIC. A Caucasian, scruffy, brown haired man (presumably) in his 30's who never utters a word and goes around killing shit. Mario is a timeless character. A cartoonish plumber with a giant mustache who saves a fantasy world from Dinosaur turtle that breathes fire.

Carrying a six shooter does not make you a better character.

Mario in GENERIC. An italian, mustached, fat plumber that rarely says anything worth listening and goes around killing shit.

Eating mushrooms does not make you a better character.

F*** those trolls.

But anyway, it's a contest for best hero, and I never played Half-Life. Is Gordon Freeman a badass who kicks arse, has funny lines, and could stand up to Chuck Norris in a round of bare-knuckle boxing? If he is, then maybe he deserves the win.

Acually, Gordon doesn't talk, which means he has no personality. The only reason he won is because Valve put up a banner on Steam telling people to vote for Gordon. Not only that, but /b/ probably voted for Gordon as well, if only so Mario would lose.

My thoughts exactly.

In all seriousness, though, in all the time I've been here, Squidly has never made a good thread, and they all eventually desolve into flamewars. I tells ya, if I was mod, I'd lock any threads he made on sight, along with Sonic threads.

By that logic, other "timeless" characters have no personality and are thus undeserving of praise. Link, for example. You're not gonna try to tell us that LoZ sucks, now, are you?

Yes, of course, it's all a corporate/Anonymous conspiracy... -_-

Because Gordan Freeman won with 55.8% of the votes, all Half-Life games are 55.8% off on Steam. If Mario had won, Nintendo would not have done anything.

Yes, you did.
Mario revolutionized games.
Gordon revolutionized FPS.
Which deserves more praise?

Pffft. Mario was just a fancy pacman.

People voted who they voted for. You don't like the end result. Tough. Move on. This means pretty much nothing, yet it makes you lose your cool. Hilarious.

Go Gordon. I didn't vote, but Valve is full of win.
