10 Video Game Douchebags You Can’t Help But Love

1. Nathan Drake €“ Uncharted Series

Why He€™s A Douche: Nathan Drake is perhaps one of gaming€™s most loveable douches thanks to his love affair with the sound of his own voice, and his inability to stay out of trouble even for like, 5 seconds. He€™s got a smart-mouthed quip for every situation, even if that situation involved him being locked in a room with a knife-psychopath whose trigger is sarcasm. Drake shares a similar douche-baggery to Indiana Jones (not the only similarity between the two mind you); a douche-baggery that means he constantly ends up with a mouthful of more than he can chew. Lucky he€™s got l33t sons of bitches like us with the pad in our hand. Looks like we€™ll have to bail him out AGAIN! Why You Love Him: Seriously, what€™s not to love about a character like Nathan Drake? Yeah, he€™s a douche, but I€™m a douche in the exact same way. In fact most of us are €“ we€™re sarcastic, we try to get a laugh whenever we can, and we can€™t seem to keep ourselves out of trouble. Admittedly that might be trouble with the missus, or with our boss, but its trouble nonetheless. In a modern, sarcastic age, Nathan Drake is one of the most cleverly conceived and effortlessly relatable characters on the market. Small wonder then that he€™s considered by many to be the poster-boy of the PS3. Drake, you€™re a douche and a colossal one at that when you want to be, but christ, you€™re not half funny and you€™ve given us plenty to do on a rainy Sunday. And for that, we salute you! http://youtu.be/LL_41hDw7PQ There are plenty of douchebags in gaming, but perhaps we, the players, are the biggest douchebags of all. After all, we we€™re the ones with the controller in our hands. Did we miss any of your favourite loveable douchebags? Do let us in on it.
