Dead Space IS OUT! Launch Trailer! No Known Survivors!
Dead Space is out, what do you mean you didn’t know?! What do you mean you haven’t bought it? I’ve been telling you for months PAY ATTENTION!
Yes when the game “ships” on the 14th, stores put it out the following day, trickery! Maybe you got lucky and already got it, who knows, well, is it awesome!? I need to calm down and stop yelling.
NOKNOWNSURVIVORS.COM is where you should be to check out a hands on creepy look at the back story to the game. Head over to MAXIM to see a freaktasticly creepy video, and a nice breakdown of No Known Survivors. Stuff with little kids freaks me out and should do the same to you. Keep an eye out soon for my review on the game!
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.
