Some people disagree on the choice of Galdos though: as it is doesn't really fit with the Amoeba description.

I am a huge fan of Portal, so I obviously voted for that bio.

Please note that I totally did not choose that bio for the G2G vote.

For what it's worth, I didn't make the hero as a joke or a rip-off, I made it as an homage to one of my favorite "Scientists" in any game I've played. Thanks for everyone's support, and for your criticism. I do have to say I was just as surprised as many of you were that I was one of the choices, and then when I realized I was winning well...that was a shock. (For what it's worth I was originally going to go with a Mordin Solus homage, but his body type is less of a Ball than Glados' head was.)

Though I'm almost sure that at the heart of Hissho honor lies the religious search for the one true cake, I also believe actually naming someone that way would instantly lead to a holy war with the birds.

Agreed. Easter eggs should be well hidden and not this obvious. Easter egg that is clearly forced on you isn't really that funny.

Same here. I didn't like the other two nearly as much, even counting my displeasure towards the overt reference.

Nooooo, Glados should stay where it belongs to, in Portal. It won just because of Glados popularity and not because it is a good hero or fit into lore.

Why is this for the Amoeba race and not the actual robot race? It makes absolutely no sense. Everything about this is dumb and is a poorly thought out attempt to shoehorn in a pop-culture reference without any real effort or wit.

I mean, I'm not completely against reference in games, so long as some actual effort is put behind them to make some sort of sense in context. This has none.

Edit: Wow, that was a pretty spergy post about nothing really important.

Well heck I'm already working up a bio for Number 85, a Sower hero who got hit by space lightning and got all eccentric and wacky and learned to love etc.

Mavid sounds more suave. We would get a hero of mystery, a secretive and smoldering ... sower. Havid sounds like an Israeli exchange-student.

I don't play Portal so I didn't get the joke.

Just thought it was an interesting bio

So I voted for it.

Noted on both accounts - also noteworthy is, if said bio wins... Maybe we'll luck out and see some Endless Space hats in TF2? Who wouldn't want to wear an Amoeba Akubra or a Craver Cloche?

did anyone see this? an amoeba hero called Galdos AI which is always going on about SCIENCE and TESTING, who's experiments are constantly threatened with shutdown because its too dangerous? this obvious portal reference NEEDS to go in the game as soon as possible I urge you all to vote for the Galdos "GlaDos" AI hero today! lollollol

Indeed. I'd only budge for a SDOHAN AI, anyway.

More seriously though, keepin' in mind the alien nature of the Amoeba, even an organic computer would probably have a completely different sounding name (or designation) then something semi-hominid. Try to keep in mind the 'alieness' of them while voting. But hey, even if this wins, s'all good. After all... Only human, wahaha!

Edit: It does make me a little sad though; you all don't want to see goat tears, do ya?

It would be the same if someone would suggest a Craver-hero named "Slatin", which for some reason has a bonus fighting Sophons, and would make good use of slave labor and makes cheap but sturdy ships. And retreat would be no option, for Comrade Slatin says no step backwards.

And btw, I loved Portal. But could we please, please (pretty please) stop with Portal-references? I'm about to spontaniously lace every cake with laxative and if I hear that song one more time, I'll club a baby seal.

It's a terrible joke with a horrible name and theme, it's not even slightly subtle and it sounds like a 10yearold thought it up.

shoehorning characters from other games into yours is just.. terrible..

like some cheap pathetic cameo.

This made even more of a shame because it's the only hero on the voting board with all it's stats in Labor/Wit, so i would have voted otherwise...

Yeah I'm still hoping against hope that The Aspirant wins. The pop-culture robot references can be left for the Sowers where they would make significantly more sense.
