Guess Who: Round Eight
Written by Michael Donahoe   

It's been a while since our last guessing game, so we hope you're not rusty. If so, polish that noggin and try to guess the video game character speaking below based on their five seemingly random clues. A correct guess earns you the right to pat yourself on the back. An incorrect guess earns you the dissatisfaction of knowing you're an idiot. Our advice: Shoot for the former.

Guess Who?

1. I'm always a little slow to start, but once I get moving, I'm faster than a rabbit. And a cheetah. And whatever animal is faster than a cheetah (if there is one).

2. People tell me never to burn bridges. Um, duh -- why the hell would I ever do that?

3. I may not have a pilot's license, but I don't clown around in the air. Safety first, I say.

4. Waterworld is such an underrated movie. Dennis Hopper is genius in it.

5. Being a single parent is tough sometimes. I really know how Octomom feels....

Who am I?

Continue after the break to find out.

Don't you know royalty? I'm King Bowser from the Super Mario series, duh!

Holy cow! I finally got one! Yay me!

HAH! Got this on the first clue.

My favorite character to use in the game that clue references.

Crap! Could you start telling me whether or not it is a character I know about in your description, Michael? I often give up too quickly because I assume it's a character from a game that I have never played. Maybe in the future you could just say something like, "Alex, you have played this game before." or, "Alex, you haven't played this game before." That way I'll know if I should rack my brain. Thanks.

I started reading the clues from the bottom up, so I initially thought is was Dr. Tenenbaum from BioShock (raising a lot of kids and the living around water references). After clues 4 and 5, the rest didn't add up to my original guess, but I couldn't shake my train of thought and gave up.

I'll take the Dunce cap now. smilies/sad.gif

So easy, if you play Mario Kart, you'll get it from the first clue. And then the second clue seals the deal.

I've played Mario Kart and I still didn't get #1.

I knew it was bowser when I saw the octomom thing. (read upwards, the clown part was a bigger giveaway though)

I got it at Dennis Hopper oddly enough...nice (double) reference.
James DeRosa , January 10, 2010
Boosh! Finally got one right!

@Bryan: If you've played Mario Kart, remember how slow Bowser and Donkey Kong were from a complete stop, but once they got momentum they were the fastest racers?
