Poll: Eggman or Robotnik?

[HardRockSamurai]

I just want an age old question to be answered. We're all familiar with this fat bastard.

Spoiler: That Fat Bastard

That's right, the nefarious, oddly shaped villain from the Sonic the Hedgehog games. In Europe and America, he was introduced to us as "Dr. Robotnik," but Japanese gamers knew him by another name, "Dr. Eggman."

My question is, which name do you prefer? Eggman or Robotnik?

 

[Souplex]

Eggman just sounds like a lyric out of a beatles song about walruses. Coo Coo Cachew! Robotnik sounds like someone who should be doing stuff with robots.

 

[Blackadder51]

Dr. Eggman, after all he is round and egg-ish

 

[BadGadgit]

he looks like obelisk after he got older and lost his hair

 

[DazZ.]

Robotnik sounds infinitely more villain.

Since they were Oval.

but when SEGA re-tooled him for the third dimension, he gained a new name, "Dr. Eggman."

Actually, that was always his name (cause he's egg shaped, see). Sega USA changed it when they translated the manual for the original Sonic The Hedgehog, as well as making up a load of other nonsense about alternate worlds called Mobius not present in the original.

Ah, you see... that statement is true, they are "rather rounded" however an egg is not round.

Technically you are wrong eggs are round - round is not a shape it simply means it has no corners. They are not oval and they are not circle(which I think you confused with round) they are most definately round.

Here you go, the definition of round:

And, the shape of an egg is...:

A nice healthy dose of "I have been awake for a day, I am right... and I dont want to have the exact same argument AGAIN!"

Okay, but I promise I wont be surprised when you no longer call eggs round.
