They can be critical to the experience of their respective games, but there are some characters that you would never, ever want to get involved with in real life. If you ran into any of these nominees at a party, you'd pretend you saw someone you recognized on the other side of the room before hiding in the bathroom for an hour.

Tim
Look, we obviously like Braid quite a bit. But that doesn't mean we want to hang out with Tim, the game's lead character. You just know that a call from him is going to result in an hour of you listening to him mope in the most pessimistic way possible. "Hey buddy, don't worry! There are plenty of fish in the sea!" "*sigh*" "Dude, let's go use your time-rewinding abilities to win the pub quiz!" "*siiiiigh*" "Is it true that you invented the atomic bomb?" "*groooooan*" So you can see why we'd let this scintillating conversationalist go straight to voicemail. Unfortunately, he's just going to keep rewinding time until we pick up. |

Dwayne Forge
GTA IV's Dwayne has just been in jail too long. When he's not reliving his time inside, he's asking you to hang out with him so you can listen to him ponder suicide. Fun guy. |

Otacon
As much as we'd like to get our hands on Otacon's great gadgets, listening to him pine for Naomi like a little girl is too much to bear unless you're the world's greatest soldier or something. |

The Announcer from You're In The Movies
Gah! Someone shut this guy up, already! We get it! You're going to scan the background! |

Tai Kaliso
Tai's spiritual bullcrap might work on drunk girls, but if we hear him talk about "everything happening for a reason" or anything else like that one more time, we'll help him hold that shotgun. |

I just loved once he was saying how crappy life was growing up and Niko just responded with something like "yeah I was in poverty and ate once a week" and that shut Dwayne right up.
