Elderly Man Goes Into a Frenzy While Playing ‘The Brookhaven Experiment’
A video of an 81 year-old man playing the virtual reality horror game The Brookhaven Experiment has added another reason to the long list of reasons for why younger generations ought to respect their elders. Most fans of the shooter genre have found themselves surrounded by enemies with nary a bullet left to carve a path through them, but I doubt my solution would’ve been anywhere near as entertaining as the solution this badass comes up with.
The Brookhaven Experiment releases July 5 for the HTC Vive.
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.
