    What animals you admire or even dislike (be it either real life / real world ones, any from the film / TV worlds, literature, or any from anime /
    animation) would you seriously or humorously most like seeing as a new platform mascot (for either Xbox, PS, Wii) and please say why, for any animals mentioned.

    a black man...

    ^-- considering it's ah, I should clarify

    i mean I can't think of many games with black people as front men... not black men are animals

    although they are, because we're all animals

    but I'm not in the mood for a 10 page Ah argument this morning

    I'd like to see a wallaby as a mascot. It's like a kangaroo only fatter, much as gamers are like humans only fatter.

    A Geographic Cone Snail. It's like a games console in that it kills its prey using a harpoon loaded with venom. It makes sense.

    Spiders. Totally neglected tbh. Men should represent spiders in government. Yes. Spider... Men. Indeed

    I'm sure game rep people would love an animal that looks like it has a dick strapped to the front of its face.

    Mordeth probably thinks you are too young to remember Sega used a hedgehog for a long time :D

    The Taper will be good for the Wii, the reason... see Lunula's description.

    Why, a meerkat of course. They'd be great in a game, they're cute, plucky and work with a team of meerkats against snakes and other dangers. There's a whole game in that *runs off to sell idea*

    Derogatory term for members of the traveling community, I believe.
