[Boredom Bytes] The Goriest Claymation Video You Will Ever See
It sure is a slow Saturday. Or, it is relative to the insanity that was last week with the hot mess that was the Xbox One reveal. Let’s forget about all that, at least until Microsoft clears things up a bit at E3 next month. Today, I have a few videos that I’m going to go ahead and call amazing. In case my word isn’t enough to motivate you to click that Read More link, one of the videos features a clay Leon Kennedy going balls-to-the-wall crazy during a drug bust. Enjoy.
First up, the goriest claymation video you’ll probably ever see.
If you haven’t beaten BioShock Infinite yet, you really should get on that. Even still, there are no spoilers in this mockumentary that follows Booker DeWitt after the events in the game.
In this next video, Magikarp goes full stalker on a poor Pokemon trainer who refuses to drop 500 bucks on him. You know why she didn’t want to spend her hard-earned Pokemoney on you, you weirdo? How about because you’re a STUPID FISH WHO ONLY KNOWS SPLASH. Come back to me when you’re a Gyarados and you have Hyper Beam.

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.
