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.

Here are some of my favorite ships from video games! Their names (and the games they're from) are in the article. #GJAsks

Here are some of my favorite racing games! #GJAsks

(I'm excited for Star Wars: Galactic Racer too)

They're a group rather than one character, but I really love the Yule Lads. They add a fun sense of mischief to the holidays. #JoltidayCharacter

Deltarune x Sonic

I'm kinda proud of this one

Thinking about drawing Metal sonic as Spamton, how can I not? they got the same nose

For #GXNailArt, I gave Bowser a Noxus-inspired manicure!

This week's Fan Art Friday celebrates Sonic! Accept the quest in your quest log to get started.

My favorite #DeadPetsSong is I Own My Smile. I love how much more involved it is than playing songs in rehearsal. (It's also very empowering given how it slots into the story.)

Picking my favorite #DeadPetsMinigame is hard, but if I were to narrow it down to two it would be working at the diner and performing songs.

(The diner is basically Burger Time!)

I would *love* to play Baldur's Gate 3 again for the first time. The story is SO good and it would be great to experience it again. #GJAsks
