Valve is a kitty and other video game company personifications

Funny and somewhat clever. That's all I can really say about it.

Those are great. I always envision Nintendo being personified as reclusive, but ultimately well meaning hermit. Sort of the Boo Radley of video games. They barely ever talk about anything in any kind of detail until about the time whatever product they're working on comes out, but when their stuff is released, it's usually fantastic.

I wonder how they're going to portray those like Capcom, SNK, Konami, Namco Bandai, Square Enix, Atlus, Arc System Works...

five bucks says theyre not

in other words i want a valve kitty

Squeeix would so be the Metrosexual friend.

Capcom would be that guy who has dozens of mostly identical-looking relatives.

Capcom would be the friend that fucks you over constantly nowadays but you keep him around because he was cool when you we're kids.

Considering the whole Cats Are Mean thing, maybe Valve should have been a dog.

Plus, I'm sure loyal and friendly are supposed to be dog traits.

But dogs don't have the e-fame cats have.

i dont think they're exclusively dog traits though.

I'm pretty sure they do!

Atlus is...

Hm.

@Mura The scatterbrained friend who comes up with really strange and improbable ideas (and often doesn't tell people about them), but when his plans are put in motion, they are highly successful?

The Valve Cat lacks a hat. Therefore this article is invalid.

On a side note, Lionhead Studios would be a case of Small Name, Big Ego

What would Ubisoft and Square Enix be?

Ubisoft would be that guy who you hang out with, who can be fun but only if you play by his incredibly unreasonable rules. He will constantly go on about how they're his plans and you're just tagging along and you'd better not think it's your day to enjoy.

Square Enix would be an androgenous guy who dresses weird and mopes about acting all depressed, but is ultimately a good person.

Id Software would probably be the 30-40-year-old who wears a fairly nostalgic shirt and often sits down at his computer with a beer in hand. He's kinda lost his touch, but he never gives up.

2K would be that guy who makes some really dubious and sometimes downright dumb decisions, but often tries to make up for it.

x 12 or so: I think Capcom would be that cool guy everyone admired in high school but then flunked out of college and is now flipping burgers at a local fast food restaurant.

Likewise, 3d Realms would be the same, except his failures in life have caused him to end up dead.

^Well, except not quite because Apogee is still around.

Hasn't Capcom been doing well lately, with all the new RE and fighting games?

Origin is one of your oldest and dearest friends who disappeared mysteriously years ago. In fact, it was right after you introduced them to your other friend, EA...

Guys, Ubisoft is obvious. He's your French friend. He's kind of weird, and you're not totally sure you always understand what he's saying, but when you do get it, it's really funny.
