His name is Thorton. Mr. Agent Michael "Mike" "Darling" Thorton.
He is a pretty cool gun and doesn't afraid of anything.

Good point and that shouldn't be overlooked.   Hopefully Obsidian provides good support and there always is the community patches/fixes.
 
I really don't understand all of the backlash against the graphics of Alpha Protocol.  It's not like Obsidian is known for their graphical prowess.  Don't see how these trailers disappoint previous fans since at the core it still is a rpg.

What the fuck is this? 
 I'm sorry Obsidian, but some of Alpha Protocol's trailers are pretty cool, however this trailer isn't anyone's time. I really hope this game is good.

The thumbnail for the video is very misleading.  I saw it and exclaimed "MIKE HORN ENDURANCE RUN!"  But lo. I was disappointed.

"Who are you!"
"See the gun? That's who I am."
 
So... He's the gun? Is this supposed to be some Bionic Commando shit?

I hope someday Obsidian makes a game that isn't just a worse version of something Bioware already put out.

Well, apparently you can play however you want and all that jazz, so maybe his weird blandness is representative of how any personality can be imprinted on to him, with equal success? I agree, though, he does look more like an Barbie/ action figure than anything else.

You know I thought Steven Seagal had topped the worst liners ever list with the whole  'blood bank' thing but seriously 'Look at the gun, that's me'.  Like what is actually even happening in the mind of the writer there

The more videos of this game come out, the more I kinda-sorta regret my Steam prepurchase. 
  
 Ah well, just a little over a week from now and we'll see how it turns out. Hope Rorie was right.
