Sadly, it seems I missed Slacktory’s excellent “What Your favourite Video Game (Series) Says About You” feature from a few weeks back.
Sure, not every one of them is entirely accurate – or even remotely accurate – but the ones it gets right, it gets right. And even the ones it gets wrong can be pretty funny.
Some of the best include:
Leisure Suit Larry: You forward jokes about Obama to your family.
Portal: You’ve started a Twitter hashtag game.
BioShock: You’re not an arsehole, you just think that without government subsidies of big business, capitalism would be less vilified.
Battlefield: You don’t give a shit about craft beers.
Mirror’s Edge: You eat dark chocolate.
Gran Turismo: Sometimes you have to recite parts of the alphabet to yourself.
See? Pretty gooooooodddd. Check the full list out below.

Where is the one about people too indecisive to have a favourite? I guess I could almost fit with Zelda, though that’s not my favourite. Or Battletoads. Or MIrrors Edge. But I’ve never played that.

Who’s favorite game is Leisure Suit Larry? and what does that have to do with jokes about Obama?
I should think it would be something more like “Your favorite movie is Weekend at Bernies” or something … :-P
