What is YOUR FAVORITE bad guy, enemy or villain in PC GAMING history?
(These can be normal enemies in FPS games, bosses, RPG, MMO, RTS... PC ONLY)
Extra cool if you could explain why and attach a screenshot or two.

Look here for proof: http://masseffect.bioware.com/forums/viewtopic.html?topic=632469&forum=127
Once again the only people suffering are legit buyers. This is proof anti-piracy measures are out of control (at least for EA games).
Anyone have any poker tips for me? Should I wear my sunglasses?

Brahm was thrilled when police arrived, tossing his clipboard to the ground, shouting, "Yes!" and raising his arms in celebration.
I bet he is extra thrilled now that he owes $27k and gets to spend 6 months in prison.

Went to the mall for some things, and happened to walk into gamestop to check out their sale bin. As I was looking through the bin, I watched a guy buy a 360 and receive his "how to use it" briefing by a gamestop employee who was acting like a cool guy, explaining what games were good, how live works, and their warranty stuff with a few snipes about RRODs. The customer leaves the store with his newly bought 360 and like 2-3 minutes later I hear a blood curdling shriek from behind the counter. The gamestop employee's voice was now several octaves higher, as he was saying "OMG HE DIDN'T SIGN THE RECEIPT! OMG GO GET HIM!!! GOOO!!!! GOOOOOOOOOO!!!!" He sent his lackey out into the mall and he ran off to the left. The guy behind the counter continues to panic shouting "FUCK FUCK!!!" and he runs out of the store to the right. I was standing in their store with nobody else in it for like 2 minutes...

The bulk of this week's show is spent with Albert Reed, studio manager of
Massachusetts-based Demiurge Studios. Demiurge just shipped its PC version
of BioWare's acclaimed Mass Effect–and polished out the game's edges in the
process. Reed discusses his studio's formation and experience, and its plans
to launch its own original titles.
We wrap up the episode with Mark discussing GRID and Age of Conan–which
Elizabeth has not played, to her dismay–while Chris touches on a recent
visit to Valve, which saw the venerable developer make its case for the PC
platform.

Apparently there seems to be a correlation between social equality and test scores on this account. What the causal relationship actually is is interesting to think about, but this seems to show that there's something there.
