If there is one thing upon which we can all agree, it’s that
bad guys are evil. They do evil things for evil reasons, (and sometimes no reason
at all) and it’s up to the protagonist of the story to stop them. And though we
cheer when good inevitably triumphs, we’d all be lying to ourselves if we didn’t
admit that there were times when we were rooting for the bad guy. Let’s face
it; villains are usually much more interesting characters than heroes. Villains
have motives, they have selfish desires, and we can relate to them in a way,
whereas heroes seem to exist for the sole purpose of defeating the bad guy and
restoring peace and balance to the world. So, in honor of these baddies, I am
proud to announce a new weekly segment: Maniacal Monday! Where we will honor
the best of the worst, and find out just what makes them tick.
This Monday: The Shadow, from Amnesia: The Dark Descent
