Bloody Disgusting Wants YOU (to Join Us On Steam!)
Valve recently gave Steam a snazzy new look and a number of new features, including Curators. Curators were introduced to solve a problem that always reared its big, ugly head every time you visit Steam with the intention of buying a game, but with no specific title in mind.
Sifting through its intimidating database that’s practically brimming with video games of wildly inconsistent qualities can be a daunting task for anyone.
That’s why I’m doing the grunt work for you.
In order to save you a little time, I’ve established an official Bloody Disgusting Curator page that you should most definitely follow, because doing so will get you an ever-growing list of the greatest, scariest, most creative, unique and otherwise unforgettable AAA and indie horror games on Steam.
Once you’ve followed our Curator page, I’d also like to invite your to join our brand new Steam group. I hear it’s what all the cool kids are doing.
We don’t yet offer laminated membership badges, but joining may lead to some interesting conversations with like-minded, horror-loving folks like me and the rest of the BD crowd. I’ve even started a forum so you can recommend horror games for me to play on our YouTube channel.
See you on Steam!
In the grim darkness of the far future there is only war, but it was a cheerful illustrator from England who helped to define the terrifying war-torn imagery that inspired what we now know as Grimdark (a hybrid genre combining horror with sci-fi/fantasy).
Unfortunately for fans of Warhammer 40,000, Trench Crusade and countless other sources of Grimdark thrills, veteran artist John Blanche passed away this week after struggling with health issues for the past few years.
While the artist retired back in 2023, he leaves us with an enormous legacy of iconic artwork that continues to inspire gamers and storytellers around the world to this very day.
The news is especially gloomy as it was only last year that Daniel Lowman and Napoleon Dynamite himself Jon Heder released The Grim & the Dark: The Search for John Blanche, a documentary following Heder’s exploration of the Grimdark genre culminating in a heartwarming encounter with Blanche in his own home.
Below is one of my favorite pieces by Blanche, his highly influential depiction of Warhammer 40k’s God-Emperor of Mankind on his Golden Throne.
We send our deepest condolences to John Blanche’s family, friends, and fans.
