thor.mirtna.org — Ever get the impression video game characters often look a lot like real life celebrities? Or perhaps the other way around?

- digg it
- theBrink, on 10/12/2007, -17/+2it's been submitted - but 4 months ago and there's a recent update, so meh.
- Aharoni, on 10/12/2007, -0/+8First time I've seen this... and some of these are just spot-on! Hilerious.
- Nobi-Wan, on 10/12/2007, -1/+14So THAT'S where the inspiration for Solid Snake came from.

And Big Boss:
http://thor.mirtna.org/oddities/lookalikes/pics/bigboss.jpg - Bara, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1lmao, the Snake and Big Boss ones look spot-on. I've heard Kojima state that Big Boss was originally referenced after Sean Connery, but he never said anything about Snake...
- Sedako, on 10/12/2007, -0/+8Here's on that's like the snake one. Almost spot on too. http://contrarnold.ytmnd.com/
- sockpuppets, on 10/12/2007, -2/+3http://www.duggmirror.com
- pathy, on 10/12/2007, -2/+4Did you guys seriously not know where Snake and Boss came from?
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Snake_Plissken - ZenMojo, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2Actually, old Solid Snake was Michael Biehn.
New Solid Snake is Kurt Russel. Same with new Big Boss.

And...

Of course, if that doesn't fit, try the eyepatch on the other side.
http://fan.spiffy-ness.ca/escape/layout3.gif - ZenMojo, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1So in MGS2, Snake went by Iroquois Plissken. One of the suggested origins of the word Iroquois is "Black Snakes." Huh.
- ArcticCelt, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1Wow some cases (like the snake one) are not just lookalikes but complete rip off from a poster or a movie scene. I find that kind of cheap and disturbing that the artists where that lazy.
Like this one from a poster of the Governator. Look the hands, muscles or gears all the same!

- Jeifurie, on 10/12/2007, -3/+0"Happy Halloween!!"
- reddevil3, on 10/12/2007, -2/+1George Clooney would make a good Sam Fisher, but I think Michael Ironside will be better since he does the voice too.
- PlasmaSnk, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0I really think that the guy who plays Gregory House on House MD on Fox looks A LOT morel like gordon freeman. Seriously, theres even a picture of him photoshopped in VAC suit.
- theprizefight, on 10/12/2007, -0/+4looking at that confusing-as-hell pie chart reminded me of this: http://www.usablemarkets.com/?p=47

Brother Lal, from Alpha Centauri is the spitting image of Osama Bin Laden. Note: I just submitted this now. :) - fuckingmorons, on 10/12/2007, -2/+1welcome to 3 years ago.
- Mattevil, on 10/12/2007, -1/+2Gordon Freeman always looked more like Eric Clapton to me.
- Sedako, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2http://www.clapton-eric.ru/i/foto.jpg ?
- Tunguska, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3http://thor.mirtna.org/oddities/lookalikes/pics/mcarra_navy_moves_-_arnold_schwarzenegger.jpg
Gotta love that one. The hand, the face. Nearly identical, so that's really original art design. Ha. - quoquo, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1"In a recent survey[1], 56.7% of Videogame Lookalikes readers list English as their primary language. That means 43.3% of people reading this right now, er, can't read it."
So true. I'm german and I remain totally clueless. - mancat, on 10/12/2007, -0/+5Holy *****. Owen Wilson is totally Ken.
Haduken!!!!- po43292, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2shoryuken!
- boiker, on 10/12/2007, -1/+2This is how this product slipped through the cracks:
1) Wal-Mart demands their supplier to provide "new" and trendy designs for the t-shirts.
2) Supplier hires designers to put together logo.
3) Designer gets a "good idea" and creates shirt with a somewhat unrecognizable logo.
4) Supplier checks them briefly, gets approval from Wal-Mart, sends for full manufacturing
5) Corporate Wal-Mart reviews product compared to original proposals.
6) Wal-Mart accepts and puts on the shelf.- Jaymoon, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1Thanks for the info....

http://thor.mirtna.org/oddities/lookalikes/pics/mario_-_ron_jeremy.jpg- Aharoni, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1I don't think the Ron Jeremy outfit is simply a coincidence... so... there's a porn movie featuring Mario and Princess peach?
Eew.
- Aharoni, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1I don't think the Ron Jeremy outfit is simply a coincidence... so... there's a porn movie featuring Mario and Princess peach?
- boiker, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1gd...wrong story.
- SmurfyBrown, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2god awful layout. and pretty lame in general. bury me, i don't give a ***** i'm hungover as hell
- EverAB, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1yeah, layouts not the best around. But I disagree with the lame comment, sure, some comparisons suck. But overall, its a neat idea. I TAKE OUT MY FRUSTRATIONS ON THE INTERNET.
- NeoOfTheSith, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1I always thought that this guy looked like Gordon Freeman...
