Nice.. I love this site keeps offering competitions.
Btw, what did Hadrian pay you to have you say he's awesome?

[Shakraka]

Duke Nukem. When his kids ask for bubblegum, he'll kick the shit out of them.

I think the best father from a video game would be Resetti.

Thanks for your entry, but please read the rules more carefully!

To everyone else: PLEASE read the rules before entering, it will make everyone's lives much easier!

I would say:

Bowser, imagine him as father!

Must be awesome

[Normmatt]

Duke Nukem because he's the biggest bad ass nazi killer ever.....he'd beat the shit out of anyone who disrespected his children.

The best father figure will have to be...

Crash Bandicoot



Growing up I purchased my first video game system which was a PS1.
I never had a NES, SNES I was too poor to afford one and my parents didn't view video games
as a necessity. The crash bandicoot (first game i played) franchise and crash himself used to be one of the best games out there.
Crash himself kept the violence to a minimum and quite hilarious at times. The way he would dance after completing each level
to the way he died in the game. Crash would make a great father figure cause unlike most video games everyone can relate to a good adventure game. Nothing gory or filled with profanity. There's been a lack of new "crash" games but he sure made a difference while growing up, and introduce me to the world of video games.
Luckily I haven't been arrested or done drugs and crash had a great role, well not really but it did help not
growing up in an era of GTA and Halo (Halo Killer). Crash Bandicoot is just an awesome video game character that
deserves much more praise than its getting nowadays.

EDIT:SKIP MY POST

Well there's:
Kyle Hyde
Sam Fisher
Professor Layton
Bowser
Simon Belmont
Ashley's dad (Trace Memory/Another Code) I can't remember his name...
Captain Olimar

AND A LOT MORE!

But my choice would be:

Phoenix Wright!

Who do i think would make a good father figure? How about one who was a father figure. I'm talking about Barret from Final Fantasy VII. He is very protective, he fights not only for the protection of his adopted daughter, but for the whole planet. He can be a hardass but when it came to marlene he wasn't afraid to show his softer sensitive side. I think anyone would be lucky to have him as a father figure.

And just imagine how much fun playing catch would be

The Therad-Title is too long, it ends with "Fathe" , the 'r' is missing

My entry: Larry Laffer
I think most older gamers should still know him (If not, google 'Leisure Suit Larry' )
Why ?: With him you can always go out to bars&clubs to hunt for some dream-girls

[Maikel Steneker]

Well, Professor Oak of course, who else? Imagine getting a Pokémon for your birthday!
