"Interestingly, I see comments made amount fanboy-ism to Nintendo here. Mario deserved to beat Gordon hands down. That's coming from a PC gamer. Gordon is arbitrary, random and hasn't impacted the gaming world all that much. Maybe the GAME has, but his character. Nintendo's classics should have won this and even if you disagree many other characters deserved a much higher spot than this guy ( Cloud, Snake among many others )."

This.

You're once again, in fact, an idiot.

That quote brings up the fact that the poll has nothing to do with the games themselves by saying "Maybe the GAME has". Then it goes off and contradicts itself by implying that Mario has in fact impacted the gaming world. Just answer this one question for me. How in the forget can a video game character exactly do that?

How in the forget can a video game character exactly do that?

According to the picture on the back of NES manuals, Mario will personally come to your house with a screwdriver and repair your NES if it breaks. Gordon Freeman doesn't do that.

Proxy voting.

Yeah, the announcement valve sent out to everyone running steam through steam news that linked straight to the contest (which at it's peak has 1.5 million users logged in) and all of the threads on the steam forums had nothing to do with it.

Gamespot was actively looking out for proxy voting and actually nullified an earlier vote because the proxy voting had such a significant effect. I find it doubtful they weren't looking here and would have spoke up if they noticed it.

Nintendo lost because they either a) didn't have the resources to mobilize their community or b) didn't care enough about the contest to bother trying to win. Most likely both.

That's a good thing.  He would crowbar the forget out of your PC while trying to fix Steam.

Your computer will be fine, so long as it doesn't look like a wood crate...

Look guys, I'm thrilled and everything that Gordon won, but the majority of the votes -not the Gordon votes, but all the votes- were based on fanboyism. Now, if we had balanced opinions and more characters, *coughnesslucasnintencough* there whould most likely be a different character *coughnesslucasnintencough* elected of "Greatest Hero Ever" status.
And by that, I mean either Ninten, Ness, or Lucas. Dumbasses.

Gordon won fair and square. Nintendo has been pissing me off lately. I guess everyone
else too.
