The game definitely plays up the affluent white "bro" stereotype, the kind of people that are care free and powerful enough to forget common sense and skydive onto a remote island without any knowledge of the area or it's inhabitants because some guy in an elevator said they should go there. It's like the characters in horror movies that keep going back to Elm Street/Crystal Lake/Someone's run down house in the woods with the added oomph of that annoying guy at the club that spills drinks all over you.
At least that's what I think many, including the Bomb Squad, don't like in the characters. I might be projecting, though.
Just my .02 here but I don't think there's a single likable character in the game, just bunches of entertaining ones.
For the interest of clarity though, the quote about the dog's ass and Jeff (boy, did I not see me typing that when I woke up today) needs correcting. It is "Hook my mouth up to that dog's ass", as shown here:
Also, my personal favorites for possible addition:
"KISS MY FLUFFY ASS!" -Vinny
"It's not Dubsteppy enough, it's not wobble bassy enough" - Jeff in Giant Bombstep v.2 (by way of Hamst3r)
"NOTHING STOPS THE GAME ROOM QUICK LOOK!" - Jeff Gerstmann
"There's a dog in the office. There's a dog in the office! THERE'S A DOG IN THE OFFICE!" - Ryan Davis.
While I don't think this'd be BB worthy until Brad gets stuck on a rare 'cheevo, it'd be fun to see him try to get through it without cursing. Maybe Ryan gets to mock him in a way of his choosing if Brad doesn't.
Well, if nothing else this weeks' WR has made me look for Martyrs and read something out of the Times today. Thanks, Patrick. Still loving the features, looking forward to them in fact.
