Win A ‘Chibi Majini’ Exclusive Resident Evil 5 Shirt! (CONTEST NOW OVER)
For those deeply saddened by losing the previous contest, fear not, this is your second chance! Those who won previously cannot win again because I say so. The Resident Evil 5 Gold Edition is out soon, and we have some shirts to give away! For free! So, all you have to do it post a comment below! You will only have until the end of Wednesday 3/3. I will pick 5, yes only 5 winners at random. The image below is what will be on the shirt. The shirt color itself will be red.
Desperate Escape will be available on March 3 for Xbox Live Arcade and PlayStation Network. Resident Evil 5: Gold Edition, available March 9, will include the original Resident Evil 5 game plus all downloadable content on a single Blu-Ray
disk for PS3, and the original Resident Evil 5 plus a token for the downloads. Only 100 of each shirt was made, so if you are a winner you will be one of the few people anywhere to own it!
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.
