Whos you personal hero can be connected to games or could be somone like muhammed ali just your personal hero and why.

Personaly i would have to go for Ric Flair for those who dont know hes a retired profesional wrestler who was the best of the best i know hes not a martin luther king or einstein or somone like that but over 30 years in a dangerous buisness and 16 times a world champion i only hope to be that sucsessfull

Gorilla penis is my hero.

How REVOLTING!

But to answer, I have a few I could pic (fictional and real).

But seeing as this is a gaming site....

Forte (Bass): I know he is a villain, but I dont care. He had the will to break his programming and become his real self. I admire that kind of strength deeply.

Carl Marx ^^

Carl Marx ^^

kim you didnt explain why

kim you didnt explain why

well mainly because i am a communist, and i love the work he did, it did something revolutionary to the politics world wide :heart:

Doc is my personal hero. He took his passion for games and with the help of others that supported him raised it to the point where it is now! Great job, Doc!

Probably my biggest musical ones. They all inspire me to try harder have all had huge influences in my song writing and playing.

PS: huge points from me if u can name all the people above

Orson Scott Card: his books made me the arrogant little child I am now...I am now also constantly paranoid of people praising me...you'd have to have read the books to understand why.

Anthony Kuhnreich:
One and only super-jew!

lono...:heart:

UPPS!

:lipssealed:

I have a pet dog his name is patsy. he is the single greatest being on this planet. And he can frickin shoot lazer beams from his head. But on a more serious note I have been trying to think of someone but I really don't idolize anybody. Sure there are people who are awesome but none that I consider a hero. So even though I avoided the question thats all I got.

R. Kelly and Michael Vick!

but seriously probably Jesus. I've never really thought about it but he seems like a pretty cool dude.

Doc is my personal hero. He took his passion for games and with the help of others that supported him raised it to the point where it is now! Great job, Doc!

Not to be a complete copy cat but anyone who can make something great appear from nothing especially in a time where there are so many great things has to have one hell of an imagination ( or a good deal of black mailing.)

George Kollias , Dave Lombardo, ect

My hero is Marcus Phenix cus he is badass! and I thought it should be related to gaming.

Honestly, Orson Welles, because his visions on cinema made me wake up and pursue movie making. Even tho some people hate Citizen Kane, it is the first movie i watched on a dvd from beginning to end, with full on extras and everything. I had to get the special editions and everything. Even tho the aftermath of Welles was quite tragical, and sad, his creativity broke the walls of the mediums he worked on.

Jesus, He was such a great author... Have you ever read the bible? I mean, That shits fantastic...:lol:
I don't really have a "hero", Although i do admire the work of people like Hendrix, Matt Groening(Spelling) and the guy who invented the toasted sandwich maker...

Not to sound mean, but Jesus didn't write the bible.

Ray Charles: For inspiring to me play the piano (R.I.P. Ray)

Jools Holland: For inspiring me to carry on playing when I was thinking of quitting.

Not to sound mean, but Jesus didn't write the bible.

I knew someone would say that, Of course i know that it was a joke... I don't know how you can seriously not know i was joking..

Shawn Elliot (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YeLC3ecwmSo) - Former staff of 1up/gfw, now is associate producer at 2K Boston. For being the funniest gamer alive.

My hero is Captin price, hes sooo badass.

And he saved the world from nuclear attack you know. . .

micheal jackson the way he could lie with a straight face... lmfao no im kidding

oj simpson becuase he made so many ppl happy when they found out he was back in jail
i wanna make the whole america happy too(just not for the same reason)

In games: Tony Vercetti, what a cool badass. And funny as hell.
In real life: My mum & dad for being such good parents.
And my girlfriend, certainly after seeing her give birth to our son. *bows down*

Orson Scott Card. He's a great author, a profound thinker, and I'd say a philosopher as well. I really enjoyed his books, and I've based my psyche off of the characters in his books.

Robert Kirkman, I aspire to be that awesome/good at writing (not that I am bad now) when I'm older =3

Lance Armstrong.

Its obvious why.

Rothbart, Cause' he's my favourite podcaster/ bald

Steven Jesse Bernstein.

Best Poet Ever.

beorn from the hobbit FTW!!!/bean from orson scott card
