After playing video games for I don't know how many years and wasting God knows how long of my life on them as well, I've come to the realization that there are just too many spotlight hogs.

I'd be willing to bet pretty much everyone who's ever lived knows of Master Chief, or would at least recognize him in a photo. But how many people know the Arbiter? All of his awesomeness, the energy sword in cutscenes even when he shouldn't have an energy sword, and the shoulder flashlight thingy...and yet he's never gotten even a complementary toaster. How do you think 'Thel feels about that?

Or Luigi, who is still far cooler than Mario? All he's ever gotten is Luigi's Mansion. A freaking mansion that got wrecked in SSBB anyways. I think it's high time he got something more than a stupid mansion for all those hours being the "unimportant" brother. Luigi's Planet should be more like it.

I could go on forever, with Ridley, Ganondorf(not Gandalf) and the other villians, but we'd run out of screen room. The important thing is that for one day, it's good to focus on someone besides the attention hogs such as Samus and Kirby(the evil pink ball of death). So from now on, August 6 is Non-Important Video Game Character day.

Celebrate your non important video game characters!
