Which Video Game character would make the best President?

Colonel Grimm from the ‘Army Men’ series.

  • war hero.
  • demonstrated leadership abilities.
  • hottie daughter.
  • handsome green complexion, clothing, eyes, skin, etc.
  • is plastic, but has no fear of hot weather. Lots of gumption.

I think the dog from Duck Hunt would make a good president.

How about Lara Croft?

No, she is British, so she couldn’t run.
That and she is a woman. :smiley:
Ducks & Runs . . .

I vote for Edgar from Final Fantasy VI, or B.J. Blastowiciz (sp?) from Wolfenstein 3-D (Hey, he’s a war hero).
If Zelda was President, she could make Malon Secretary of Agriculture or Ruto Secretary of Fisheries. :slight_smile:

We certainly have to give The President from Fallout 2 a shot:

Positives:

  1. Experience–he’s the President.
  2. Guts–he’s not afraid to make the hard decisions.
  3. Security–He’s got a giant cyborg bodyguard.

Negatives:

  1. Insanity
  2. Megalomania (though, to think about it, isn’t this pretty much a prerequisite to be willing to run and able to do what it takes to win?)
  3. Morals: Experiments on his citizens, turning them into mutated homocidal freaks.
  4. Weak constitution: Dies of a heart attack if someone accidently slips him a dozen stimpacks in a row.

Sly Boots, Master of Space and Time! for president!

Solid Snake’s military background would probably hold up under media scrutiny, but his possibly narcolepsy (“I feel asleep!”) could be a problem.

I’d probably have to go with the short, fat player from NES Ice Hockey. Sure, he was a little slow, but he powered through everyone to get to the net. And that’s the kind of perserverence we need in a world leader.

I nominate Duke Togo. Anytime a reporter hits him with a tough question, he can just say “…”, then go make love to any one of several nearly identical women with different colored hair.

But he was born long before the US of A existed, anyway, so we can probably lie and say he was a naturalized citizen by having been in the country during the revolution.

Yeah, but that means his Secretary of State would actually be a terrorist agent :wink:

The Master Chief from Halo.

  • Genetically engineered supersoldier gets the military behind him

  • advanced armor gets the tech sector salivating

  • personal shielding built into armor so all the dirt raised during his campaign will bounce right off him

  • Not-long-for-sanity AI helper resides in the memory of the armor, feeding him pertinent information about all situations (“Chief, Monica should cup the balls for maximum effect.”)

You forgot the attempted Genocide on pretty much everyone in North America.

The merged AI’s from Deus Ex. Helios, I believe it was.

Particulay once JC merged with it.

Golgo 13. He would give the most kickass press conferences ever.
Reporter: Mr. President, what are your thoughts on health care?
Golgo13: …
Reporter: Mr. President, did Iraq have an active nuclear program?
Golgo13: …

Obviously, the best choice is Bowser. The guy built so many dungeons/castles, we would never need to worry about job creation again!

Oh, and he can breathe fire.

And doesn’t he deserve a second chance?

He might get it right this time.
