Ever seen someone that looked like a game character?

[Slate]

I have, On Several occasions. The first time, I saw a girl who looked like the character "Cube" From jet grind radio. The second time, I saw someone dressed up in Purple overalls and a black shirt, Like waluigi. I think he was wearing a purple hat too.

So, Have you ever seen someone that looked like a videogame character?

[MasterJSP]

I have a friend who looks like Selphie from FF8 and another who could pass for Jill Valentine from Resident Evil.

If you're only talking about the way someone is dressed, then forget I said anything.

[DarthKur]

No, I've never came across anyone that looked like the images below. If I ever do I'll be sure to alert the National Enquirer. :wink 2:

There's a thread in here somewhere that has a link to website that has a list of celebrities that look like video game characters. It's pretty funny, maybe somebody can find the link.

Did you punch him in the face for looking like a lame video game character?


Outside of the obligatory cosplayers, I've never ever seen anyone who looks like a video game character.

I had a friend whose dad was a bus driver, and all the kids called him "Mario." He could have fit the part, too.

[Clownzilla]

A couple of years ago, we had a salesman working for us (I work for a car dealership) that looked EXACTLY like Mario. Better yet, his real (yes legal) first name was actually Mario. He didn't speak Italian but he did speak fluent Spanish and would complete entire deals from start to finish in Spanish, if the customer desired (usually construction workers buying new trucks). He was an AWSOME sales person, both in sales numbers and respect among customers and employees. Given that, we gave him the nick-name "Super Mario", yeah.....not original, but pretty fun! *Sigh* he had to leave to take care of his ill mother across the country. We will miss him!:)

I know a kid that looks like Yoshi. Well not really...sorry

I sometimes buy games from a flea market seller who looks like Andore.

[Atari 5200]

My best friend, Tom Cruise, looks a lot like Seifer from FF8

I sometimes buy games from a flea market seller who looks like Andore.

Woah, Andore from Final Fight? That must be scary.

[Magnum]

yup

for a while I think it may have been intentional. he had the same curly hair, a hanging chain around his waist and seemed to always wear a red tank.

I'm dead serious here

[LAGO]

Please tell me you asked him if he played Final Fight. Please.

[Magnum]

I'm always too distracted by the fact that he's trying to sell Bubsy for 15 bucks.

[Nirvana]

^ XD

Anyway, I know a girl who looks like Casey Lynch from Guitar Hero. When she saw me playing it I was like "Hey what are you doing in this game." She was creeped out by all the similarities.

[Cambot]

I have a friend who looks just like one of those Carpenters in Kakariko Village in Ocarina of Time. The one who just jogs endlessly around town.

Did you punch him in the face for looking like a lame video game character?

I couldn't, I saw him in walmart. I would have bean in some deep stuff if I did that. But he wasn't thin.

[PentiumMMX]

My sister used to look like Yuna (Final Fantasy X-2), and a girl that works at Gamestop used to look like Daisy (Super Mario Land, though she looked more like the Mario Kart: DoubleDash version).

I'd be nice if I knew a girl close to my age who looked like Crystal (The female trainer from Pokemon Crystal)

[Streetball 21]

yup

Just be cool with him, he might end up calling G. Andore and U. Andore to get you.

This dude looks a little like Mario. Yeah, I know it's not that funny and I lifted it from Seanbaby's web site but I nearly die laughing every time I read the article (http://www.seanbaby.com/nes/mark.htm) on this guy.

In all seriousness, I lived on a college campus with a musician dude named Mark who was a spitting image for deceased pro wrestler Ray Traylor, aka The Big Bossman (WWF). Same body type, facial hair and even the same eyes. At the time, Ray Traylor was still alive and I think he was even wrestling in the World Wrestling Federation again, his second run there. You wouldn't believe all the times people told him he looked like The Big Bossman. It went on for years. Some friends and I gave him the nickname "Hard Time." I suppose this may count a little since The Big Bossman (and/or Ray Traylor) was reproduced in at least a couple of different wrestling games.

There was a guy who was an absolute dead ringer to Revolver Ocelot (circa MGS 1 & 2... but with an arm) selling some old radios at a flea market a couple years ago. I tried to get a picture of him, but I only had a lousy cell phone camera... and I didn't really want to ask him to pose for a pic... so I don't have any photographic proof. But man... it WAS Ocelot.

I still laugh myself to tears reading that stuff. I wonder why Seanbaby doesn't do stuff on his website anymore...too busy writing toned down articles for EGM and banging Suicide Girls?

[rbudrick]

Seanbaby makes up half his shit when he's making fun of someone, I would guess that guy never even wrote him back, or if he did, it was nothing like what Sean wrote. Sean is a dick.

That is exactly what I thought when I was reading the article. It is obvious that mark didn't write that. (Just read the original article in the top right corner and compare it to what is in seanbaby's article)

What happend to that guy? I heard he had AIDS?

I always thought he made the guy responding back up. It's a funny read regardless of it is made up or not.

"it's big, from all the tugging." LOL

[Three-P]

Well, I had a P.E. teacher that kinda looked like Mike Haggar. Even had the muscles. (Nobody fucked up around him.)

Once after class, I asked him why he didn't take up pro wrestling, he said that working with kids was more rewarding.

[Push Upstairs]

I think every city needs a Mayor like Mike Haggar.

Crime running rampant? He's not going to call the cops, he'll just come down and break you in two himself.

Illegal street racing? He'll unpimp that Honda with a pipe and his own two hands.

[rbudrick]

The whole AIDS thing was a rumor, as far as I've heard. I don't like the guy, but I do laugh at some of his articles, even though he's full of crap. I actually saw him at E3 back in 1999 or 2000. Didn't bother saying hi to him.

Oh, I almost forgot. One of my good friends is the spitting image of Mario and we rag on him all the time for it. He's Italian, about 50 years old, has the moustache and only needs the red and blue outfit. Another friend of both of ours is tall, skinny, about 50, and Italian and could easily pass for Luigi if he had a moustache and dressed in green and white. They work together as painters. Not plumbers, but still pretty funny.

I know it's an old thread, but here's the link you're thinking of;

I have a friend who bears an uncanny resemblance to Gordon Freeman.

But then, that isn't too hard to do.

[Push Upstairs]

Your friend is Charlie Sheen with a mustache and goatee?

[SpaceHarrier]

My best friend kind of looks like Dante from Devil May Cry, no greyish white hair though.

[ccovell]

One of my students looks just like Glass Joe from Punch-out on the NES, especially his stunned look when you clock him one. No, I won't post any pictures. <_<

[Draven]

My friends used to tell me I looked like the guy in Grand Theft Auto (I think 3) for PS2. I had the hair, wore the jacket, etc. Of course that was 8 years and 30 pounds ago...

[AllP0werToSlaves]

I can mimic Link's vocal patterns quite well and I do it frequently at work to mess with people, lol.

[c0ldb33r]

I once saw a kid that looked exactly like Bobby Hill from King of the Hill.

[rpepper9]

I think we have all seen the Ron Jeremy as Mario photo right? Pretty funny stuff there!

[Frica89]

My English teacher looks exactly like Gordan Freeman. Apparantly other students have noticed it, because someone gave him a picture of Gordan to put in his classroom.

[TheRealist50]

Funny...not even a week ago I saw someone on the bus who looked exactly like Frank West from Dead Rising. I should have went up to him and said "so Frank...Hows the zombie situation going?"

I would love to run into someone who looks exactly like Isabella from DR...*Drool*

[Policenaut]

My boss looks a lot like Liquid Ocelot from you know what game, and my sister-in-law is like the twin sister of Dixie Clemets from Rumble Roses. Yeah, hot, my syster-in-law I mean.

[jupitersj]

We used to have a guy that worked around here in the garage named Bernie. He was a spitting image of Gordon Freeman... we used to leave a crowbar on his bench and would make burrito jokes when he'd microwave stuff >.>

Only a few of us knew what we were referencing though sadly :puppydogeyes:
