I see some aggressive posting about this all-fictional idea and really my dissent comes down to not caring about other mediums like I do video games and that's why I'm here instead of IMDB's forums.

My opinion is GameFAQs has such a cool idea with these contests and we don't see other sites we care about pursue similar contests that match the themes of comic book characters, show characters, book characters, etc. Because of that, those of you who care more about those mediums are interested in seeing them in action and see GameFAQs as the gateway to that. Just a theory.

And that does sound cool -- elsewhere! It'd be cool to see that somewhere else because I totally get Vader and Cartman have fans. I come here for my interest in video games though, and adding non-gaming stuff flatly dillutes my interest (in a way that is different from Board 8 because we built our relationships together over the years of these contests and we have a human element these entrants don't).

Please understand why that is less interesting from this perspective. All for a bonus poll, but don't make a GameFAQs contest about something other than games.

(and yes, nearly any fictional character worth a damn has a game now -- that seems besides the point and is sometimes a testament of how businesses use well-known properties to make a quick buck off our medium)
