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.

I used the Electric Grenades, Photon Saber, Rocket Barrage, Repulse, and Volt Discharge.

My favorite #SonicCharacter is E-102 Gamma! One of my favorite parts of Sonic Adventure getting to play as a Badnik on a pseudo-redemption arc.

Wahoo! I mastered all of the stickers in the free Pride pack!

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
