Favourites
This weekend, a drunken discussion came up of who our favourite characters are in films, TV, etc.

For me -
Book: Discworld Death
Film: Hannibal Lecter (Anthony Hopkins)
TV: Seeley Booth (Bones) Or The Doctor
Games: Sephiroth (FF7)

So I put the question to you, who are your favourite characters in Films, TV, Books, or Games?

Difficult one
Book: Death from the Discworld stuff definitely gets honorable mention, but I also like Poirot, both of Jeeves and Wooster, various people from Iain M Banks Culture novels...
Film: Ash from Evil Dead
TV: Kahlan from Legend of the Seeker. Mainly because she is fucking gorgeous.
Games: Murray the Demonic Talking Skull

Oof
She is pretty tasty

it's weird
I've never been quite so moved by someone on tv or film.

I find her so gorgeous it stops my brain working right

Good call on Marston

Cheers, it was a toss up between him and Tommy Vercetti from GTA Vice City

I was going to go with Guybrush
but then I remembered Murray :-D
( Vipros. clever got me this far, then tricky got me in, Mon 5 Jul 2010, 10:41, Reply)

Monkey Island
Is a goldmine of characters aint it.

Almost went for Max from the Sam and Max series, whats not to love about a psychotic manic armed rabbit?, but Guybrush, the ultimate straight man just edged it.

they are the best games
have you played Tales from Monkey Island?
( Vipros. clever got me this far, then tricky got me in, Mon 5 Jul 2010, 10:52, Reply)

Nope :(
One of those things I keep meaning to buy but never get round to .. its over 5 episodes I think?
( RadG Drinking Mojitos in the sun, Mon 5 Jul 2010, 10:57, Reply)

it is
it's worth getting. Better than Escape from Monkey Island I reckon.

The special edition of the first game is fucking great as well.

(LongJohnBaldry, Mon 5 Jul 2010, 10:51, Reply)

difficult
Books - Jackson Brodie (Kate Atkinson's novels)
Film - although technically a play, I loved Beatrice and Benedict in Branagh's Much Ado About Nothing. Alos Heath LEdger's character in 10 things I hate about you.
TV - Um, I liked Hiro in Heroes (series 1). And I like the characters of Jeremy Clarkson, Richard Hammond and James May in Top Gear. Good acting as prats.
Games - I only recently learnt that in Tetris you can rotate the pieces, so this question probably isn't relevant for me.
