Who doesn’t like to hear a villain sing about themselves and their evil plans? It’s a time-honored tradition, dating back to some really old thing or other, but it’s a more recent phenomenon in video games. So this week, special guests Alaina Yee and Matthew Allen join to help us count down five – count ’em, five! – of our favorite singing bad guys.

This should be interesting, I don’t personally recall any games I’ve played w/ villians that do this
Sam and Max Hit the road has been on Gog for like two years, not sure where Chris got the idea it couldn’t be reissued.

I haven’t finished Conker L&R but apparently when you finish it you unlock the “uncensored” version. I still prefer L&R even though it’s censored…it’s pretty disappointing it’s censored but it plays a lot better and looks very good, even on HDTV’s.
I’m a big fan of ending credit songs, such as the one in Portal and “Your Reality” from Doki Doki Literature Club
Great episode! Another that I really enjoy is the end credits song that Double Dragon Neon’s final boss (Skullmageddon) sings as he plunges into the void: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fzHO50sB2gs
Additionally, a big one you guys missed out: The Joker! He’s sung in all the credits of the Batman Arkham games except Asylum, even Origins, and actually had an in-game song performance in Arkham Knight – despite the handicap of being dead. He also sung around the same time in The Killing Joke movie – but we don’t talk about that.
