as many of you know gamespot was running a contest of the All time greatest video game hero, of course there were some very stiff competitions, but of course there was only one man I could vote for, The Freeman, of course since the repeated years of the same characters winning the same competitions, over and over again, I kind of gave up on them, but when I saw Gordon Freeman beat solid snake just by a few votes, there was something wrong in here, after that victory Gordon moved to fight against link, which was not an easy fight, link fanboys were raging and getting cocky, you know what? that was kind of delicious, but OUT OF THE BLUE, Valve came out with a propaganda to support Gordon, to absolutely every single steam user, this is when the game suddenly changed, link was beaten by more than 11,000 votes, when this happend, I finally came up with the conclusion that maybe Gordon has a small chance against mario's crazy fanbase, It was 6 long days of hardcore fighting. Well guess what? today at 3:00 the Victory was set, Gordon Freeman has won the Contest of the All time Greatest Game Hero. I am trully happy and I'm sure the whole steam community that made the whole change happen is pretty happy also, we have defeated the man that's who's name represents the definition of Video gaming. well It was mostly the war of fan bases but I think It was time for a little change.
it was bound to happen, if master chief had won then there would be fanboys, if snake had won then fanboys.... guess what? if mario had won then... you guessed: fanboys.
So yes, is electronic democracy at its best. Not everyone is going to happy... Iam, I picked the Freeman since he is a quite cool character.

Valve has been in my mind ever since back in 1997 when my uncle brought a pirated copy of half life 1 (yes it's a crime)
I played it and it was like love at first site, when half life 2 was announced in 2004 my fanboy meter exploded couldn't wait but unfortunately back in 2004 my computer was a piece of crap, and I didn't have a xbox at the time either, so I was screwed, but of course I got my xbox along with the game, I gotta admit the second one I liked alot more, later on I got a new pc and added a new graphics card and NOW I own every single game valve has ever developed in steam. do I still play them all? not really after all I would choose team fortress 2 more than classic any day. half life in my personal opinion has the greatest story line of video gaming, the second greatest is fallout, Of course this is my personal opinion you don't have to get medieval on me.
one more thing, ALAN MOORE IS GOD! well the graphic novel god.

Keith Courage is the greatest game hero in my book.
My Zelda-lovin' self was cheering for Link...
I don't know. The amount of time Cashwh0re spends on its back with their ankles to their ears prevents me from taking them seriously anymore.
Plus they actively support fanboyism.
Yeah, Ps3/360 graphical comparison videos.
Like really?
That is all.
This blog sucks. Learn to write before you shit all over our community feed.
I still think solid snake is the greatest game hero ever. But whatever, good for Freeman I guess.
it was bound to happen, if master chief had won then there would be fanboys, if snake had won then fanboys.... guess what? if mario had won then... you guessed: fanboys.

Lets hear it for the nerd who is an inexplicable master of every firearm he gets his Mark V HEV suit's gloves on!
