Well, I posted today was apparently Mass Effect day, and I was going to stick with it and go with Saren Arterius as my favorite villain. He’s a classic, un-repentantly evil, though convinced of his own goals and thinks he’s serving the greater good, all the while, being subverted by his ally/enemy who he has vastly underestimated.

But I’m going to go with a non-evil choice here. A crafty adversary, who despite my best efforts, refused to be beaten. A worthy opponent who not only evaded my clutches time and time again, but someone who taught me a lot. That patience and attention to detail were important. That the capital of Nepal was Kathmandu. And that a red fedora and trench coat fetish was soon to come in my post-pubescent years.

Carmen Sandiego is the best video game antagonist.
