Exposed! Video game characters' personal selfies

The art of the selfie

Selfies have become a big thing in recent years thanks to mobile phones having cameras in them. But they've also become a big thing in video games. The 'selfie mode' is great fun in the likes of GTA 5 or Tearaway, but what about the games that don't have one?

Sora (from Kingdom Hearts)

Sora's personal description: "Hanging out with my man Jack Skellington down in Halloween Town! This guy is awesome and a gentleman too. Posed for pics and even signed my Keyblade."

Ayane (from Dead or Alive)

Ayane's personal description: "OMG I look awful lol! At least Kasumi ended up with a mouthful of sand LMAO."

Mario (from Super Mario 64)

Mario's personal description: "I found-a this little penguin for his-a mama. This was-a taken just before I dropped him off ;)"

Bayonetta (from Bayonetta)

Bayonetta's personal description: "It's a selfie. Geddit?"

Pikachu (From Pokemon)

Pikachu's personal description: "Pika! Pikapi! Chuuuuuu!"

Chell (from Portal)

Chell's personal description: "Bet @GordonFreeman would love one of these. #nowyourethinkingwithjealousy"

Ryo Hazuki (from Shenmue)

Ryo's personal description: "Megumi and I have been caring for this kitten in Sakuragaoka for a while. Looks like his leg is healing nicely! Soon as it has, I will definitely crack on with avenging my father's death."

Best comment from friends: [From @FukuharaMasayuki] "Ryo-san! Ine-san doesn't have an account but she says the picture is lovely. She also says 'please don't avenge your father's death because she is worried about you'. Oh, @Nozomi says she wishes you cared about her as much as you do that kitten because every time she talks to you, she's screaming 'JUST KISS ME ALREADY' in her head but that's a secret so I mustn't tell you, Ryo-san. See you later!"

Sonic (from Sonic the Hedgehog)

Sonic's personal description: "Just found this old picture I took in the Final Zone of Egg-face jumping up and down on a sign that says 'End'. Always did wonder where he got that from. And why he cared so much about flattening it. 'Mega' times though, right?"

Lara Croft (from Tomb Raider Underworld)

Lara's personal description: "Days like this are the reason I got into the job! Look at the size of the bloody thing! It must be incredibly rare, possibly even the only one in existence. A real scientific breakthrough. Took ages to kill, lol."

Something about a question?

I'll level with you. I can't really ask 'but what do you think?' or 'What selfies have you taken recently?' because that wouldn't work in the comments here. So... whassup? That'll have to do. If you enjoyed this, do share it around using the share center thing up there. You can Tweet, Facebook or GooglePlus it. AND MOAR.
