Imagine a life where everyone is trying to kill you. No matter where you go, you’re often met with traps and swinging blades. Not to mention everything you do is scored, judged and graded. Well, such is life for video game characters. And with all this stress, it would come as no surprise that video game characters like to smoke a little weed in what little downtime they have. But, of all the famous video game characters over the years, which ones are the best to share a bowl with? Find out after the jump!

If you’re a gamer like me, there’s probably all sorts of ridiculous stuff you think you can do in real life, even though you so totally can’t. Like, I’ve never seen — much less fired — a rocket launcher, but thanks to video games, I just have this *feeling* that, if the situation presented itself, I could use one to shoot down a helicopter. Probably with one shot. And I could — again, if I reeeeally had to — easily navigate a motorcycle down the wrong way of a freeway. But nowhere am I more delusionally confident than when it comes to a zombie apocalypse. Never mind the fact that, in real life, I both get winded running up a flight of stairs and hate strong smells. I could still survive –nay, thrive — in a zombie apocalypse.

If there’s one thing you definitely need more of, it’s video games. But after seeing all the nonsense at this year’s E3, figuring out which games to spend your precious, hard-earned dollars on can be quite a challenge. So to help keep you from blowing $60 on some butt-sucking sequel, we’ve narrowed it down to the five must-have gamesdue out this fall.
