Before anyone says anything, yes, I know, this is some serious navel-gazing, but I don’t do it very often. And it’s my blog anyway. As with past years, the idea here is to present a selection of what I think was my best writing from all of 2016. The...

SABATON + God-Emperor Trump memes = AWESOMESAUCE: Holy shit, that was brilliant. I did NOT think it was possible to make AMON AMARTH’s “Twilight of the Thunder God” any more epic than it already is. Naturally, whoever created that SABATON/Trump...
