I finally got a job

Yes, you heard right. I am among the ranks of the employed. Don't ask me what I'm doing, ut it's a professional, degreed position. Only problem is, I'm going to have to move away from Corpus. Sigh...

In other news, I made my first YouTube Poop. Normally, I wouldn't waste my time, but I got the idea and couldn't resist. Enjoy.













So this is my tribute to the most iconic villains—the ones that make you want to be bad.

Supervillain : The Monarch

He’s ruthless. He’s cunning. He’s… a little out of touch with reality, but let’s face it; The Monarch is all about villainy. From his legions of expendable footsoldiers to his arsenal of specialized weaponry, his penchant for overly dramatic monologues, and his unsettlingly hot second in command, The Monarch exemplifies everything great villains hope one day to be.

The Monarch is a satire, a composite of many ridiculous animal themed bad-guys of comic book yore who take themselves too seriously. But The Monarch is (or more specifically his creators, Jackson Publick and Doc Hammer are) in on the joke. But his larger than life presence and sharp tongue make him an instant winner.

Honorable mention: Dr. Ivo Robotnik



Anti-Villain : The Brain

The Anti-Villain is someone who does bad things for a good cause and the Brain’s got no shortage of immoral schemes to seize control of the world, and he uses a new one every night. It goes without saying that, once in charge, Brain would use his massive intellect to make the world a better place, but somehow his schemes never seem to work out…

Honorable mention: Magneto





Dark Lord : Darth Vader

It’s been said before, but that’s probably because it’s true. To summarize what’s been said by everyone else, when you think of evil, you think of this guy.

Honorable mention: Ganondorf







Force of Nature : Koschkey the Deathless

A larger-than-life character from Russian folklore, Koshckey is the undefeatable badass who lives in an unreachable keep far away. He invented the art of princess kidnapping. What’s the secret of his power? He can only be killed by finding his “death”; a seemingly inconspicuous object hidden inside a bunch of crazy crap.

Even if you knew how to kill him, it would probably seem like more trouble than it’s worth.

Honorable mention: Nazgul



Mad Scientist : Roger Chillingworth

Also known as The Leech, he was the veiled villain in The Scarlet Letter who is out for only one thing—revenge. Chillingworth is a physician (a doctor) and is on the cutting edge of his field. Though we never learn his real name, all of the main characters know exactly what he’s up to and yet do nothing to stop him. Chillingworth’s idea of revenge means keeping his target alive for as long as possible while the victim, in this case The fallen preist, Arthur Dimmesdale, tortures and attempts to end his own life via any means but the most direct.

Chillingworth keeps Dimmesdale healthy no matter how little he eats or what he does to himself. He clings to Dimmesdale like his namesake, the leech.

Honorable mention: Hojo (Final Fantasy VII)




Trickster : Robot Devil

Brute force is overrated. If you really want to get people to do what you want, why not make a deal? Though his plans may be ridiculously circuitous, they’re fun to watch. Plus, he’s got the look.

Honorable mention: Reynard the Fox






Religious Nut : Manah

LALALALALA… The throaty chorus resounds in your ears as the massive army bears down on you and the red eyes glare, and you never find out until the end *spoiler alert!* she’s a seven year old girl. Sure, she may have repented in the sequel, but that game sucked.

As the primary villain from the underrated videogame Drakengard, Mana’s scary. She sings, and she dances, but when she does it, neither of those things seem so cute. She also employs thousands of soldiers, dragons, and ogres with her hypnotic voice, murders goddesses in cold blood, and lets nothing get in her way. Especially her twin brother. And all because her mommy didn’t love her enough…

Honorable mention: Reverend Henry Kane (Poltergeist 2)




Archenemy : Capt Jas. Hook

From the book, not the movie (or, god forbid, the play…)! The movie did a fair job of capturing the character of Captain Hook, but omits certain juicy details present in the book.

Captain Hook is both refined and barbarous, enjoying the fine music of his harpsichord one moment and disemboweling his bungling underlings the next. But underneath his elegance and bravado is an almost endearing insecurity—and his obsession with ‘Good Form.’ Of course, its self defeating because even to consider whether one’s actions are indeed good form is… bad form. Hook is both anathema and compliment to Peter Pan; opposite in almost every way, and equal in many, Hook is obsessed with defeating Peter Pan, but ultimately is defeated by his own dual nature.

Honorable mention: The Joker
