March Madness: The Super Villain Edition

By Peter Ha | March 8, 2010 | +

The idea of having our own March Madness tournament was born from a lame villain bracket that showed up on some news aggregator some months ago. The picks seemed super unoriginal and if I remember correctly the winner of the 8-man tournament was Q from Star Trek: The Next Generation. Nothing against Q but I could name a dozen villains across all genres who could kick his ass.

So that’s what the Hive Mind (that’s what I like to call the staff) has been busy doing over the last few weeks. We won’t reveal the list of 64 until next Monday, but we do have four wildcard spots that we want you guys to help us fill. Start brainstorming now and we’ll let you know when and where to submit your suggestions.

Let your minds run wild. Your picks for the 2010 TECHLAND March Madness Tournament can come from books, comics, video games, movies, TV shows, etc. Stay tuned.

    Trying to Be Optimistic About a Google Music-Streaming System

    The Wall Street Journal’s Amir Efrati and Ethan Smith are reporting that Google is working on a consumer-electronics system designed to stream music–and, eventually, maybe video and other media–around the home. Their story doesn’t have much in the way of detail, but does say that Google’s brainchild might be akin to a lower-cost version of Sonos’s excellent-but-pricey music-streaming products. Absent more details, there are several ways to respond to this sketchy bit of news.

    I nominate:

    Shaidar Haran: He is the Avatar of the Dark One. Enough said.
    and Annie Wilkes from Stephen King’s “Misery”. She broke dudes legs with a damn sledgehammer!

    Keyser Soze(the usual suspects): When they tried to use his family against him – he shot his own wife and kids in the face! There’s no contest, Keyser Soze FTW!

    Anasurimbor Kellhus aka The Duniyan (The prince of nothing) : Ok, technically this guy is supposed to be the hero, but frankly I hate his guts. He is a master manipulator, trapping everyone around him in this web made of of lies and deceit and their own demons.
    He has too many awesome moves – The guy who rescued him from dying in the wild, he leaves to die, so it’ll slow his pursuers. He dude who loves him and wants to be his teacher, he seduces his wife. He uses the concubine who worships him him to manipulate others, by having her go sex them up..
