This week, #GJAsks who my favorite video game villain is. There's so many great ones it's hard to pick just one.

Some of my favorites (and why I like them) are 🔽


King K. Rool

I love his design and also find the idea of a pirate king really fun. I know the old Rareware site said that King K. Rool took the bananas to starve the Kongs so he could get their island, but I like the sillier take that he just REALLY likes bananas and refuses to let anyone get in his way.

Darth Nihilus

This character is a fun exploration of a Sith as an unknowable Eldritch force rather than an evil knight or lord. His hunger for power is so great that it has sapped even his physical form. By the time of KOTOR 2, he's just a spirit in a mask and armor. (Apparently his design was inspired by No-Face from Spirited Away.)

Doctor Eggman

He's an icon for a reason. He's such a proto-typical mad scientist and the idea of turning Sonic's friends into robots is so diabolical.

My favorite sports games are Rocket League, Mario Tennis, and Mutant League Football! #GJAsks

I finally played PEAK and it's SO much fun. I've only tried scaling one mountain so far (and I've only made it as far as the tundra) but I can't wait to play it again.

I especially love how they integrated the proximity chat.

The first game I remember getting truly obsessed with is Pokémon! #GJAsks

I was so entranced with it that I wrote my own fanfic, drew fan art of gyms for my friends and I's fictional league, and more.

It's hard to pick only one indie game, but the answer that comes to mind is Balatro! It's very cool whenever an indie game becomes a phenomenon. #GJAsks

Tricky to pick one design as my favorite in ALL of gaming, but one of my favorites is definitely the design of Darth Nihilus.

Fun fact: His design was inspired by No-Face from Spirited Away. #GJAsks

Picking just a single game for #MyFavoriteGame is tricky!

Here are some of my favorites!

• Jedi Outcast

• KOTOR 2

• Baldur's Gate 3

• Super Smash Bros. Ultimate

• Pokémon Red

• Kirby's Adventure

The #CritterCoveTrailer looks really cute! I've also played around with the demo which was really fun. (I was as a robot with a TV for a head.)
