Biafra Republic, I’ll leave it to the imagination why certain female gamers might choose Yoshi over Tails based on the trait you mentioned… (is that too blue for this site?)

Andrew Paulson, I like Sonic as much as the next man but that image was fun to make. It’s all swings and roundabouts. I remember Sonic winning a ‘best videogame character’ poll a while ago. I remember lots of Nintendo fans saying they’d never heard of the poll… much like I’d never heard of this one!

I don’t know about this list, I like Mario and all, but that image above just got on my nerves. Poor Sonic.

Personally, I don’t put stock in online pollsters anymore. They have a nasty habit skewing data for the most trite reasons (for example, one list naming the greatest sidekick of all time chose Yoshi over Tails SOLELY on the basis of a two foot tongue)

The Sims is quite literally the best-selling PC game of all time, with something like 16 million copies sold by 2005. And that’s not counting the expansion packs, the sequels, and the gi-freaking-gantic community dedicated to it. It beating Sonic is really no surprise.

I can understand Mario, Pacman, and Tetris beating Sonic,
but The Sims?
What the fuck?
