Exactly what it says on the title -- tell us about a playable character in a video game with a name that you consider unbearably dumb, silly, or embarrassing. The kind of name that made you wonder what the developers were thinking when they graced the character with THAT monicker.
("Playable" means a character that the player has to control, so NPCs and peripheral characters don't count)
My choice, debuting in Mortal Kombat II -- Noob Saibot.
So here we have a game with (at the time) cutting-edge graphics, bloody decapitations, and more tryhard teenage testosterone than a monster truck rally. Every fighter is a badass who can kick your ass seven ways to Sunday, with exotic and intimidating names like "Scorpion", "Jax", "Kano", "Goro", "Baraka", and "Shao Khan"...
...and then you get "Noob Saibot", a name that doesn't roll off the tongue, proclaims oneself to be a beginning loser of the highest order, and sounds like a seven-year-old being clever by spelling his name backwards (for obvious reasons).
Sure, he was a bona fide badass in the game, but he's forever saddled with such a dorky name.
NEXT!
