I know there's the so-called Nice Work guy, but all I see is a picture of some smiling guy in a suit with arms folded. Is it a video or something that I missed? Please enlighten me... it's been bugging me for a whizzile.
Merci

Well thanks! I get it now. So he's just something imported from Something Awful? I can handle that explanation.

Well, partially imported. The original image itself is from SA, but "Nice Work" wasn't put on image until Midee added it for posting here. Before that happened, he was just some unknown guy whose picture was floating around SA. Now he's some unknown guy who has a tag line ;-)

Geoffrey Taucer claims to know who he is, but he posted neither proof nor bewbs to prove it, so it didn't happen. Either way, we don't know who he is, but he's definitely the official OC Remix mascot. Our own special meme.

I can't find pics; I'm POSITIVE he's the actor who plays Luis in "Destinos: Introduction to Spanish," but I can't find the actors name or any good pics of him.

Speaking of mascotship, NWG ought to be added to the list of characters who appear on the upper-right of the site.

Which is seen by all comers to OCR not only forum regulars who would understand him. If you did have him I'm sure OCR would lose some of the credibility it has as a serious community and more like a forum run by teenagers on a whim.

Maybe he'd only appear if you were logged in and had a 200+ post count.:<

but randomizing a number from 1 to whatever is really easy and it's not fair to make them check for stuff just so some people can get a chuckle

Yes.
But I won the internet, so it's ok.
EDIT: Besides, I still don't know his name; the video won't load all the way through for me, so I can't watch the credits and find out.

Check the page you just linked. It doesn't have the full cast.

Holy balls, the NWG has been identified sort of!
Posting in an epic thread.

Didn't we go through all this in another thread recently? After facial comparisons, I don't believe that guy is not the NWG. Plus, it's a pretty accepted concept that NWG is from somewhere in the Middle East, not Mexico or Spain.

I didn't watch the whole spanish video, just the first minute or so, and the guy in the video looks similar to, but not the same as, the NWG. The NWG looks like he's from India or Pakistan, not a Hispanic country.

Wait. We're obviously talking about different sites here. because maturity is not a hallmark of the OC ReMix I frequent. See here (http://www.ocremix.org/remix/OCR00015/) here (http://www.ocremix.org/remix/OCR00209/), here (http://www.ocremix.org/remix/OCR00349/), here (http://www.ocremix.org/remix/OCR01125/), and here (http://www.ocremix.org/remix/OCR01678/) for a few examples.
Are we serious about our love for game music? Yes. Are we serious? No. Our forums aren't run by teenagers on a whim, they're run by the only man to ever beat Chuck Norris in a staring match on a whim. So there.

The facial comparison you posted in the other thread used a shitty picture. Here you get a much clearer view, and aside from the gray heir and lighter skin (which could easily be a result of makeup -- and yes, even guy actors wear a fuckton of makeup when they're on camera), the similarities are much more evident.
I'd like to see another facial comparison. If another facial comparison between this guy and the NWG finds that they aren't the same guy, I'll drop this theory once and for all.

I don't know about anyone else, but that guy looks terribly unlike the NWG to me. Similar in a very generic manner, but not at all an exact match. When you posted the video and I checked it out, I had to triple-check the time you listed because I thought there was no way you could have been suggesting that guy was the NWG.

After extensive review of your provided source material and 3 minutes in Photoshop, the actual Nice Work Guy had the following to say:

Sorry GT, I'm pretty sure thats not NWG. The only comparison I see is that he has a vaguely similar moustache. The NWG is without a doubt not spanish or hispanic; which is just what this guy looks like.

At first, I said "no way, that can't be him." But I looked closer... his ears look the same, eyes, eyebrows, face shape... I say we get in contact with someone and find out this guys name.

As before, lining up the eyes and the bottom of the nose, shows that Luis' chin is still below the NWG's (even with his smile not showing teeth), the bottom of Luis' nose is pointed upwards a bit more than the NWG's, and the most obvious thing, is that his head is too small when placed on the NWG's body after having things aligned. However, now we can also say that Luis' skin color does not look right (makeup or no), and his head as a whole is more oval shaped, while the NWG's head is rounder (even with a bigger smile).
Sorry boys and girls, but my original verdict stands. This is not the NWG in my opinion.

I still like my comparison better. I translated that shit.
Besides that, according to Dave, who is right about EVERYTHING:
"He is sooo Indian! Like, in such a major way!"
That doesn't actually mean anything, but I found that line in the video hilarious.

I'm with Coop. That guy is NOT the NWG, and i say we all kill that person because he might resemble the NWG a bit.
That'll teach him.

OK, you're right.
