We chat about videogames and videogame accessories.

Silent protagonists suck. Except Dillon, because he's actually silent. As in it's part of his personality, and he isn't reduced to having other characters do the talking for him through parroting. I'm looking at you, Mario. You and your unintelligible Italian gibberish.

I think someone brought up the fact that Bowser has a deeper character than Mario. I mean, that's probably because Mario is Nintendo's Mickey Mouse. But then there's Link and uh other people. Like the protagonists of the Elder Scrolls series. Kinda.

Commander Shepard from Mass Effect is great, though. We need more protagonists like him/her (i play her), where you can conceivably construct a different personality every playthrough, but it's still capable of being associated with him/her.
