    I think Atlas fits the voice in your ear one a bit more. I was actually bummed that Flynn turned on you in U2: AT but oh well.

    @Cyberninja In inFamous (WARNING SPOILERZ) Zeke betrays you for some superpowers and sides with the bad guys. Cole (the hero, or villain) blames him for Trish's death. Thats why he is evil

    i know zeke is someone who uses to get girls sometimes but if thats why hes evil isnt that a bit much?

    you offend cpt. price take it back. Yes my fascination with him is on the same lvl as yours.

    Seriously, the UK people are making some really awesome articles lately, with all of the choppy Photoshop pictures and the sly, sarcastic, humor. I hate to be so gushy, but honestly you guys have made some really laugh-worthy articles and I love them! Good stuff.

    Well technically Azimuth didn't realise it was evil =\

    I smiled at the UC2 and Wesker ones. "Do you have Soy milk?" "no sir, only 1%" "O_O" -unleashes tendrils of death that sprout out of the fucking ground in a volcano that you and the protaganist coincidentally didn't die when you crashed in-

    Arnt most army generals evil as well as the people with a moustache?

  • super0sonic - February 22, 2010 8:05 p.m.

    Oh no Please PLEASE tell me the word "GILFs" used above is not what i think it is. PLEASE NO!

    dannymc18, Number one "Never played Bioshock," Well you shouldn't now because you just ruined the game by reading this article!! And Number two, to quote you quoting the quote "Atlas – we’re assuming he’s using a Northern Irish accent" - meaning he isn't British." By a map dude The United Kingdom of Great Britain includes England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland! Which is irrelevant anyways because Atlas did have a Northern Irish accent, it was plain old Irish, like sinnerboy said, closer to a Dublin accent. But I guess GR just wanted to find a way to include it...

    oh, I just looked and you have the "ways to tell you're about to die", link up, so I guess you didn't forget, disregard first half of previous comment recaptcha: effort ghoul- if they make an effort to help you they are a ghoul

  • dannymc18 - February 22, 2010 6:29 p.m.

    Never played Bioshock, keep meaning to, but anyway: "Atlas – we’re assuming he’s using a Northern Irish accent" - meaning he isn't British.

  • matt588 - February 22, 2010 6:27 p.m.

    a while back you had an article to tell ways you're about to die, and I was expecting this article to have the "befriend anyone with facial hair" comment. And of course they turn evil after 45, not because they want to, but because they probably already had a couple of adventures,got bored, and now they want to see what happens if they harvest ALL the little sisters

  • helix92 - February 22, 2010 5:55 p.m.

    Sunglasses are also not evil when they are worn by Jack Nicholson, that guys just awesome!!

  • kjdubz22 - February 22, 2010 5:47 p.m.

    Atlas has an accent and he's the helpful voice in your ear...dumb bastard gave himself away twice.

  • sinnerboy - February 22, 2010 5:32 p.m.

    Atlas speaks with a Dublin(or close to Dublin) accent which I believe you will find to be situated in the Republic of Ireland.

    you forgot "He has a goatee"
