Yeah, basically the whole cast in fact. Even Amelie ends up being a pun for 12yo child. That's the only thing I'm not following Kojima with, that guy makes some really good games but he should stop trying to make sense of his character names because this is getting embarassing.
Bursted out laughing when I read "Jack Hard" on the title screen. Was Andy's "probably jacking it" ad libbed? Mike seem like he was trying his best to keep it together at that point
Probably. I get the feeling the thing about suvs was either he almost said something else, and managed to finish that line, or forgot his line, almost said what we were all thinking anyway, and struggled to make something plausible up.
Also let‘s not forget: Detective Gumshoe (my personal favourite) April May Wendy Oldbag Mr. Sahwit (even Phoenix himself points out the pun in that one) Lotta Hart ...
The name Sol Badguy is *also* a reference to Mr. Bad Guy, the debut solo album from Freddie Mercury. So the character is a double reference to Queen’s frontman. The Japanese sure do love their Queen references (see also: the Ogre Battle series).
"The problem with anime ...." - (From the Background) " *I don't think we have the time actually* " - "OK, one of the problems with anime ...." Allright, you got me good guys (and gals). That one had me laugthing for a solid minute. Well done.
Yeah...but alot of the names in Kojima titles are code names of characters that have actual real names. Hot Coldman is on of the exceptions where the characters legal name is absurd
Just falsely pump him up to be the most badass thing over and over again and along with the trait of being arrogant and cocky, it'll come to him naturally.
@@thebigminsk1 because in english you say, for example, "my nose is running". same for a river and also every other discharge that your body can produce.
Well, its no wonder, the creator of guilty gear is known as a really die hard fan of queen, specially of Freddy mercury, he references them in the game every moment he can.
When it comes to Sol I always thought that the "Bad" part of his surname was in reference to the 90s slang usage of that word which meant the exact opposite. So maybe Sol "Bad"guy was really meant to be interpreted as Sol Goodguy?
"the problem with anime --" "I don't think we have the time actually." DAMN! props to whoever wrote that one, because that was fucking genius! Had me rolling laughing!
clothar23 Yep. The best thing I can say about it is that it’s playable. The one thought I had through my whole play through was, “Wow, how does the 360 version of The Last Hope look and feel better than this?”
@@danielrothwelliii6712 I was more in awe of how incoherent the story was. I was like 75% in before anything made sense and even then I felt like I was playing the middle of trilogy.
clothar23 I had a similar feeling. I actually thought I was still in the prologue when the characters finally enter their ship. Then it dawned on me this was supposed to be about halfway through or so. Though, the most disappointing thing for me at least was the final boss. During the final phase it just froze in place. Wouldn’t move, flinch, attack or anything. They obviously rushed the game.
Jack Hard is like what the MST3K crew came up with during their time watching Space Mutiny, along with classics like Blast Hardcheese and Big McLargeHuge.
We need a Jack Hard 2: The Rise of Jack Hard. Watch as Jack Hard rises up! Jack Hard gets a grip on the situation! He'll be coming to consoles in 2020! Jack Hard is rock solid and ready for action!
@@TheFunnyhouston Based on what little I saw and heard in that game, that makes sense. People who say "it sucks" to Bethesda games or EA games have forgotten what a real bad game like that is like. Fallout 76 isn't my thing, I choose not to play it, and I kinda reject it from Fallout canon, but it's still way better than that game looked.
Jack Hard 3: Jack Harder! is even better. In the beginning Jack Hard is feeling beat from his strenuous routine. But as the cadence picks up to it's regular tempo, the final delivery is raw and visceral, when Jack Hard explodes unto the screen in a BIG way, in this thrilling climax of cascading action. EDIT: Saw an old GameTheory today with an late 80s ad for SEGA. "The longer you play with it, the harder it gets! You sit there, eyes glued to the writhing, arcade-quality graphics, pulling and squeezing your knob. Now you're breathing heavily over the digital stereo sound. Now you're shooting all over the place, but it's no use.. GAME OVER.
Stick it to The Man. The villain in that game is literally a shadowy figure called 'The Man'. At one point you encounter his mother who calls him 'The Boy' to which he responds, "I'm The Man now!" Just one of the many great things about that game.
Pizza Pasta exists to rob any 80s kids who've nearly beaten the game of any credibility on the playground. "Oh yeah? You beat punch out? who do you fight right before Mike Tyson?" "His name's Pizza Pasta" "okay sure billy"
Oh I thought you meant silliest player names. For instance in Sid Meyer's Pirates, all the cheat codes were entered as a name for your character. My favorite was B. Caudizzle, a name which gave your ships crew infinite happiness because ofcourse it did.
In Dragon's Dogma, there is a minor enemy, who summons a small army of skeleton warriors to try to murder you, who also wants to turn you into a skeleton warrior, and his name, is Balsac.
Consider the following name for a commenter edition: In Dragon's Dogma you come up to the quest "Rise of the Fallen" where you must revisit some catacombs that were occupied by the villainous cult "Salvation" upon hearing that the undead are roaming the land. After a perilous search through a crypt filled with undead you come across the man behind it all. And his name... Is Balsac. And he blows himself up when you defeat him.
Pizza Pasta probably looks mean BECAUSE of his ridiculous name. Probably got teased a lot as a kid and was headed down the wrong path in life, but in a twist of fork got turned around when he discovered boxing.
A couple of notes about Guilty Gear lore... First, the name Sol Badguy is itself another reference to Freddie Mercury. Mr. Badguy was the name of his first solo album. Also, Sol's theme song is called Keep Yourself Alive. He's basically one giant Queen/Freddie Mercury reference (they're even listed as his favorite band in official bio) and contextualized like that, his name wasn't THAT weird. Also, That Man has been present and named all the way back to the first Guilty Gear game, he definitely didn't just show up in Xrd. It is in Xrd that his real name, Asuka R. Kreutz, is revealed, however. Also, as far as silly names go, you guys blew straight past the Ace Attorney series. You can have your pick of dozens there, but the one that always stood out as over-the-top ridiculous to me was Redd White of Bluecorp.
Big ups for the team wringing a compelling script out of a concept that had the immediate potential to just be a video of Mike staring directly into the camera saying "they named the character Jack Hard" for 14 minutes. Though, to be honest, that would be a pretty good video too
Zane Flynt in Borderlands 3 has a lot of weird middle names (according to himself), including Ferocity, Deathbringer, Deathwish, Charisma and Charm. He's gotta have like a special extended passport with all that.
I used to work at a call center and I had to call a guy named Talon Ice. I accidentally called his mom first and she confirmed it. His name really was Talon Ice.
And let us not forget: Jet Brody from Fracture, Hayden Tenno from darkSector, Bryce Boltzmann from Never Dead and Killian Samuels from the cancelled Prey 2. Man, the noughties and early New 10s were infested with bad video game protagonist names...
The next star Ocean game did not take place in a meadow and involve frolicking, instead it took place in a small technological primative planet that you leave for like a grand total of 30 minutes and involved a lot of being disappointed that you didn't get to see any particularly cool, exotic or futuristic planets
How about Dudu in The Witcher 3 The Wild Hunt. All three games are meant to be taken seriously, but it's hard to take a name like Dudu seriously even if it's just a nickname
The protagonist of Zone of the Enders: The 2nd Runner, Dingo Egret, takes the whole cake, and proceeds to mush it into a mess without even taking a single bite. His name? While we know Kojima has a huge thing for animal-themed characters, they were usually something like "Sniper Wolf" or "Revolver Ocelot". Dingo Egret sounds like what you get if someone who is undecided in picking between the two animals as their favorite just blurted out the two together.
A few members of the game Black And Bruised have odd names. Kid USA, Major Flak, El Luchador, Tiny (who is actually the biggest character in the roster), Matador, and Old Master.
HAHAH i am laughing so hard at "Ceaseless Discharge" T_T (when I first saw that monster I thought it sounded wrong. Thanks for this!) ::skips back to watch again::
