Well, I own a game that has Solid Snake in it, but I can't get any MGS game (not old enough and don't have any PlayStation). So I count myself as if I own an MGS game.

And I plan on playing some Mega Man (2/3) some time.

This is mostly in relation to the contests held at GameFAQs.

Apparently everybody likes Samus.:crazyeye: (I'm guessing that it's because you're a mature guy who thinks Mario and Link are too childish.) That's fine, but I am a big Nintendo fan, and Link and Mario are the mascots of the company while Samus is just a niche guy (well, girl) and most people in Europe and Japan haven't heard of Metroid, Samus, or Ridley.

Yes, I like characters a lot for what they did for gaming, too. And besides, I like guys with moustaches and beards, and Link and Samus just don't go there.

And no, there's no criticism of characters or series on other sites that helped me to decide this. Though there is this:

Nah, I like Samus because she has an awesome Power Suit. Has nothing to do with the dead sexy figure at all. :mischief:

For me it's both.

The crappy skier from Freeski

That guy was an awesome skier. he could do flips like no ones business. After slacking off for months at my job playing this I could make it past the yeti, so the skier is better.

No, not the awesome skier, the purple one.
