Fixed the mic problem! :D
BTW
You guys should review:
AAAaaaaAAAaaAAAaaHHH! A reckless disregard for gravity…
Pretty fun game…
How come no one said JARATE from Team Fortress 2?
Why didn’t you?
I know for me I would have pointed my camera at the jarate store I already have here on my desk. You know, just in case a spy shows up.
Best Villain(s):
Episode 53 Video Response – Best Villain
My favourite Videogame Villain is definitely the Hammerer from Dwarf Fortress.
Most other villains have some kind of motive for their cruel actions – but not the Hammerer…
He just walks around your fortress, bashing the brains out of your little dwarves if they DARE to do something like not swimming through a river full of carps in order to dump the piece of rock lying on top of a huge mountain surrounded by a giant pool of lava.
And he does it…. just for the lolz…
now THATS evil….
Hey homie, you spelled my last name wrong in that episode.
But I still love ya.
My current favorite villain is probably Flying Fox from Heavenly Sword. He’s crazier than Kefka, and meaner than Sephiroth. Aeris? So what, she sucked anyways. Flying Fox HUNG A -HANDICAPPED- GIRL! You have to be pretty damn hardcore to do that.
Plus, all his dialogues and mannerisms were priceless.
Sorry, dude – We effed up.
Look mom! My game is in bytejacker!!!!
Ooh, a new Konjak game, nice!
Favourite villain would be Live-a-Live’s Odio. He’s so angry there’s a bit of him in every universe!
And I have another interesting find, but it’s pretty strange. It’s a Russian turn-based strategy game combining features from Heroes of Might&Magic (3 and 4 rather than 5), Disciples, Warlords, with bits of Civilization thrown in. Overall looks pretty polished, and sells for only $10.
Here’s the link to (demo) download page, use Google translation for the rest of the site if you have to: http://www.eador.com/downloads.html
The interface is pretty complicated, but if you played Heroes, you should find your ins and outs pretty quickly.
Not sure if there’s going to be an English version, though. But I’m all for a fan translation!
The forum has an English board, so you might want to post there if you end up having trouble understanding the game.

I’m gonna disagree with you on this one. Bowser is a lousy villain. One day he’s kidnapping royalty and killing heroes, the next day they’re all getting together for a delightful game of tennis or go-carts.
It’s like, do you remember that loony toons cartoon where the sheepdog and the wolf are punching in on the clock, then beat each other up until closing time, then go home all gentile.

As a character, Bowser is amazing. But as we’re answering what the best villain is, it can’t be Bowser as he’s a bit rubbish at being a villain.
That’s how I see it anyway, it depends how you perceive the question.

My favorite “villain” – more like boss – would be Embodiment Of Scarlet Devil’s Izayoi Sakuya. She’s the kind of maid you’d kill to have; she hurls tons of knives AND can stop time. Combine that and you get the move Clock Corpse – a slight homage to Dio Brando from JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure.

My favorite TRUE villain would have to be Dr. Breen from Half-Life 2. Being the Combine’s earth commander is evil, but when you justify all the things you do to the people by sounding patronizing like Ronald Reagan was with his BS(Don’t argue with me.

Ian, we always love your comments. We have mixed feelings on your facial hair.
The toothbrush moustache has a long and noble history. We can’t let some jumped up Austrian trouble maker ruin it for the rest of us – that’d be like letting him win!
I should probably change my gravatar now though …

I also wanted to add that this is probably my favorite episode by far, and was deeply inspired. Thus:

Well that is just the most amazing thing ever.
Ok Josh,
You win at life with that one. Nicely done. Thanks for the props this week, we had a lot of fun making this one. I’ve yet to find someone who could draw a decent likeness of me and I think you pretty much nailed it. Now you have me constantly looking over my shoulder for BILL FUCKING RIZER!!!!
My favourite villain would be….. Sho Minamimoto ( i learned more maths trying to kill him than in my school) or Glados, for making me kill my companion cube :,(

I wish you had done this early enough to get into the episode. All week long I was racking my brain. “Bad guys” don’t get favorites. We have them.
But Keregan? Oh yes. Not only is she evil, but she was once a human, a good guy. She was abducted by the zerg, did the zerg try to make her evil? No? The Overmind isn’t evil. But once she was turned into a zerg something snapped in her and she turned on her human friends, on the Overmind, on everyone. Pure evil, no apologies.
