As your probably well aware by now the All Time Greatest Game Hero event is starting at Gamespot soon and like many people I'm site I'm going to big up my personal favourite character. 
So without further ado:
Guybrush Threepwood the almighty!
What's that? Guybrush Thriftweed?
No...Threepwood
Anyways, Guybrush is one the scrawniest and most cowardly game characters there is but he more than makes up for that with his astounding wit and cunning. Which is a very good thing considering sword battles in the game are won and lost on the quality of your wit and insults. In fact the tagline of 'The Curse of Monkey Island' was "What is sharper? Your sword or your wit?"
But yeah, that's enough about wit. While Guybrush is not the most heroic of heroes he indeed he has accomplished some great things. He always saves his love Elaine (even though sometimes she needs saving BECUASE of him) and has thwarted the ghost pirate LeChuck on many different occasions. With very ingenious methods I might add, including throwing voodoo grog at him and making him sneeze fire into explosives! 
The guy also has some of the...scratch that...THE greatest dialog I've ever heard in a game. just check out some of these fine examples below.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
[singing] "Oh... there's... a... monkey in my pocket / And he's stealing all my change / His stare is blank and glassy / I suspect that he's deranged!"
"You can count on me, Wally. Just as soon as I defeat LeChuck, rescue Elaine, set all the monkeys free, and ride the Madly Rotating Buccaneer, I'll come back to release you."
[when you try to pick up one of the skeletons in the coffins] "I don't need a rotting corpse!"
[after you try and combine the nail with the magnet] "Neat, a magnetic nail, completely worthless, but neat."
Pirate Leader: "Do you have any special skills? "
Guybrush Threepwood: "I can hold my breath for ten minutes!"
"Pick up the moon? Are you nuts?"
"Wow, a whole bucket full o' mud, AND IT'S MINE, ALL MINE!"
------------------------------------------------------------------------
And that just a tiny amount of them. I haven't even touch upon the conversations with Murray the talking skull!
It is a shame however, that Guybrush is currently losing to Wonder...come people that mute can't hold a candle to this might pirate!
:sigh: Well I guess my bracket is mostly going according to plan.
Thanks for reading, hopefully I've given you a better insight to a great character.
[EDIT] I would like to say thanks to everybody that gave me uni advice in my last blog, I very much appiricate it
