Let's see, my top five would be: Dogmeat from Fallout 3, Joker from Mass Effect, Vernon Roche from Witcher 2, Ashley Williams from Mass Effect I & II, and of course HK-47.
@VandersonAssis An interesting question that this brings up is side effects. I think being fooled into thinking you've been bitten by a dog or shot in the chest would be extremely stressful on your body. The induced feeling of heat when playing in a desert themed game might cause you to sweat. The possibilities are endless...
I'm a little worried about the concept of streaming games. First, at least here in the US, internet tends to be slow, unreliable, and expensive. Latency varies greatly depending on where you live. Secondly, the internet is prone to technical issues and attacks. The other day, the internet in one of my buddies' apartments was down for a whole day. As we probably all know, the websites of Steam, League of Legends, EA, and some other sites were down for a long time due to DDOS attacks the other day. Finally, weren't those Vitas plugged into something? -- I'd wonder if you'd have problems using wireless internet.
Edit: oh, and I forgot about the horrible experience you'd have on Thanksgiving afternoon.
@KingOfTheNubeis The PC is not a Steam monopoly -- there's also Gog and a variety of other distributors. That's one of the great things about the system.
