Even the post title. Good job I hate you

Their username is also hilarious

FARTYSHARTBLAST

a reference to Slartibartfast from Hitchhikers Guide :D

I thought that was the reference! Good to know I'm not crazy.

FFS, Halo is the name of the blue lady. The guy in the armor is called Master Chef

No, Master Chef is the renowned competitive cooking television program. You're thinking about the famous rapper and record producer who is the father of Lil' Romeo.

I was weird OK with most of these as a joke but calling Samus a "he" was over the line.

This chart is highly inaccurate. For example, in the Halo franchise, the main character's name is not Halo. What you are referring to is the ancient superstructures made by a highly advanced ancient alien race. The character in the chart is named John Halo.

Actually Halo was the doctor, the shooty guy is called Halo's monster.

Not true! It's only Halo when it comes from The Halo region of France, when it's above the surface, it is called Magtroid.

I have no issue with the Warriors description. His name is literally bad Mario and he is yellow.

Luigi is indeed a Mario brother as well. Calling him the green Mario is valid.

I think Halo is a pretty cool guy. Eh kills aleins and doesnt afraid of anything.

Yes and Cortana is a voice asstant. Assitanting the Spartan Edge.

But what if Zelda was a girl?

What if Zelda wasn't a girl but dressed like a girl to pass as one and it made me feel funny

Like the guy from the Japanese stealth games named Metal Gear.

And the yellow guy with the severely broken tail called Pokeman

Then there's the guy with an unknown name who just goes by his title, God of War, though I guess since the series is based on Turkish mythology, you could just call him Mars.

Then the blob of goo who invented many famous comic book characters, Jack Kirby

Oh, and the guy named after Internet Explorer: Browser

And the Swedish guy: Mats Effect

My favourite is definitely Elden John

He's the hero of Elden Ring right?

Yep, that's the guy. Though he does share a lot of character design with John Souls

I think halo is a pretty cool guy. He kills aliens and not afraid anything.

Tom B. Raider is the silent offscreen narrator of the game. He only exxists because investors only fund games with strong male leads.

Can't wait to play these on my Nintendo

Your*

I was happy knowing that I am character

Just because you are a character doesn't mean you have character.

I am character would mean that I embody character

I saw an opportunity for a Pulp Fiction quote and I took it. It did require a slight misreading of your comment, granted.

....You used Blue's sprite to be extra wrong and I love you for it.

Gotta add lil jimmy Earthbound, the little boy with a hat who smashes people off the screen yelling "Pecan Fire!"

Pikmin is a pretty cool character too. He's an astronaut scientist who has a lot of respect for animals and nature.

I was suddenly thrown back to elementary school and had a deep seated rage that hadn't reared it's head in decades come crashing over me

Was that a stroke?

Unfortunately, I haven't played much of the classic games like the ones these characters are allegedly from, I usually play indie games. So, pretty much all of these went over my head until I got to the Halo one. I immediately knew this was lying because I know that quote is from Duke Nukem (I'm not implying I've played Duke Nukem, though, I've just heard of that quote).

Although, even though I've played pokemon before (like, once, years ago, but still), the fucking "Ash Ketchum is the hero from the Pokemon games" went over my head, and I feel embarassed for not realizing it's bullshit.

Ash is exclusive to the anime, but was ported over to the games later on as a minor character we hear from but don't see (His Greinja, Charizard, and Pikachu are event pokemon)

The character in the game is called Red

The sprite is Blue (the character Gary is based on)

Ah yes they forgot the super fast bird that hunts for cyborgs in a dystopian future, blade runner

Isn't Samus a woman though?

Yes, all descriptions must be wrong

And well, if you played Dread >!you'd know that calling her Metroid is not wrong anymore!<

If you misspelled the title on purpose you should be banned, we really don't need that kind of "rage bait" shit here too. If it was an accident you're just dumb, take time and learn basic grammar.
