15 Dumbest Video Game Character Names Of All Time

7. Shoot Gunner (Metal Gear)

That big speech Geoff Keighley gave about genuinely loving Hideo Kojima? It's because of character names like this.

The original MSX Metal Gear came with a bevy of phenomenal villains to blow away. There was Bloody Brad, Dirty Duck, Machinegun Kid - I mean, even 'Big Boss' is pretty damn stupid when you think about it, but nothing beats Shoot Gunner.

Translated to 'Shotmaker' for later releases, you have to handle it to Kojima - if he was any more on-the-nose it'd knock you out.
