This Mass Effect 3 Trailer Really Makes You Hate Aliens
Mass Effect 3 is close. Very close. If you haven’t already downloaded the demo, I strongly recommend it. I haven’t played the campaign portion of the demo, but I have played a lot of the multiplayer, and it’s awesome. It plays very much like horde in Gears Of War. Though I still prefer horde to Mass Effect, I’m still having tons of fun playing it. It’s probably the main reason I’m going to get the game.
I thought the trailer above was a Pixar movie at 1st haha. Mass Effect 3 comes out March 6th on the PC, Playstation 3, and Xbox 360.
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.
