If you steam users haven't already seen it from the steam update news, Gamespot is hosting an All Time Greatest Video Game Character contest, and Valve wants us to vote for Gordon Freeman. He's up against some pretty tough opponents though, such as Link and Mario.
I'm not telling you to vote for the Free Man, I'm asking you for your opinions. Although you could also tell us who you vote/will vote for while you're at it.
I've been trying to find the original picture and text but I can't find it anywhere, I've tried steam news, google, everything. As far as I know it's only popped up once and after I closed it I didn't know how to get it up again. If anyone can someone get a link to the original, I'd appreciate it.
Also, Gordon seems to be beating Link by a little less than 13% at the time of post.
Gordon Needs You!

Orange- N cannot be spoken, or even thought about in my household. If my parents ever found out that I have played N since the cleansing, my life would be ruined. I keep the game in a multi-passworded .rar on a USB flash drive inside a locked boron alloy container that requires two keys to open (I keep one under the 64th hammer in my piano, and the other one in a small section of removable ceiling in the corner of the attic) hidden in a wall compartment lined with aluminium foil to prevent sonar detection behind my 375 kg cupboard, which is bolted to the floor - the only way to reach it is to abseil outside the fourth floor window and use a screwdriver to unfasten the screws holding the secret brick in place on the opposite side of the wall, but the screwdriver must be a specific type like the one I own, since if any other screwdriver comes into contact with the screws, the entire building will explode, as will a seperate charge placed inside the boron alloy container, rendering the USB useless. Even once the container is retrieved, attemping to open it without the arming pin in place (which is kept inside the battery compartment of my Maglite) will cause the water reservoirs lining the container to burst and react with the caesium lining, causing the container to burst into flames - the only way to prevent this is to use the arming pins to shut off the reservoirs with a sliding steel door. The USB itself contains an accelerometer linked to an explosive charge, meaning that if the USB detects its own movement speed as being greater than 5 cm/s, it will explode - any person attempting to steal it would have to move at a uselessly slow speed. Once plugged into a computer, the USB will upload a ghost virus onto it, leaving no traces. Only the right password can deactivate this virus, and if it is left on the computer for more than six hours, it will format all drives.
As you can see, I take my N playing very seriously.
Guiseppi- I'd much rather watch animals get boned in the ass.
Yanni- If it's glad, it's not rape.
Tsukatu- I refuse to use throw-away bags for such a frequent purpose as buying groceries. Instead, I've collected the hair of my two pet dogs and have woven them together into an all-natural, 100% environmentally friendly bag that I bring with me everywhere. And when I buy products that come in glass and plastic containers, I track down the company that packages them and ship back their containers so that they don't take up space in landfills.
Yeah, I use plastic.
Tsukatu- I hear Ebony Online is great, too. Cum save your princess, my lord!
Ska- UR MUM LIKE IS SPICY
Ska- why d i get the feeling what i typed will end up in the quote depository; or worse: someone's sig.
KinGAleX- I did it on the couch a little while ago.

That einstein-esque scientist in the original half life was the best. I would kill every other scientist and guard,except for the einstein ones. At one point I had a squad of them following me... then I left them for a bit, and they met an unfortunate end, courtesy of some zombies.
So yeah... either the einstein scientist, or "GENERIC NAZI 57" from COD2.

If you're talking about the Greatest Video Game Character poll, fuck Gordon ten times over. There's no way in hell he would win over Solid Snake. Also screw Duke Nukem.
I'm appalled by your behavior young man, you should be ashamed of yourself. Everyone.. EVERYONE, knows that Duke Nukem trumps Solid Snake. Also, consider yourself crowbarred.

The only reason Gordon is winning is because the Steam forums made an announcement asking everyone to vote for Gordon.
Since EP3 is delayed once again, I voted for Link.
Then again, who uses Gamespot anyway?

i would vote for the freeman if he said SOMETHING once and a fucking while. dude doesnt say boo, not even when people are getting mauled right in front of him... that just makes him a generic mute hero that we see all the damn time, sometimes in fancy bio suits, sometimes in deep space armor, and almost all the times in fatigues.
my vote is for duke nukem, and to hell with serious sam.

Well, I voted for Gordon. He's currently got a 12.6% lead on Mario in the finals.
