I like fat people.
In games.
And not in a sexual way. Really.
My first experience of a fat person in a computer game was Resident Evil 2. The guy in the gun store at the start made me crack up. I was laughing like hell until he got eaten. The fact that the zombies took so long to eat him made me laugh even more.
There is a fat guy in his underpants to be found in Max Payne. I was giggling for hours after I shot him. Watching him waddle down the corridor with bullets hammering in to him...heh.
Mario was probably the first ever famous fat computer game character. He sucked, obviously, but he set the trend for fat people in games for years. The concept of a short fat Italian plumber is so stupid, it is difficult to decide how it could have possibly have been successful.
Those fat guys in 'Streets of Rage' were bloody scary too. They could breathe fire (like all fat people), and could sit on you, thereby removing half your health.
However, with the exception of Mario, fat people tend to be found as cannon fodder in games - either civilians who die or an evil boss character. Why does society hold a grudge against the horizontally challenged?
After those four examples above, I ran out of memory for fat characters. Surely there must be some really famous lard-buckets in games. Can you guys think of any?

Mr. Carrington from Perfect dark is quite fat. Oh, and the USA is FULL of fatties! If you ever go there, it is amazing!

I have to agree that fat people look call in games as the companys make an emphasis on how fat people are and make them more rounded than normal like FATMAN from MGS2 where he run out of breath and you shoot him that well funny.
Remember those unbelievably fat enemies in Doom 2? The ones with Rocket Launchers in the arms, I think. They were pretty tough, but it was damn hard to miss them.
I'm fat but i can't breath fire !
