“We are Forerunners. Guardians of all that exists. The roots of the Galaxy have grown deep under our careful tending. Where there is life, the wisdom of our countless generations has saturated the soil. Our strength is a luminous sun, towards which all intelligence blossoms… And the impervious shelter, beneath which it has prospered.”

Bitch gets bitchslapped

The God-Emperor Ascendant just gave the world an absolute masterclass in how to handle the legacy news media: That. Was. BEAUTIFUL. Of course, we know that The Donald knows how to handle the media. He has proven it over and over again. What he has shown us,...

I WANT ONE

A few video game fans who also happen to be master metalsmiths decided to entertain a hugely popular fan request and managed to create an actual working Warhammer 40K CHAINSWORD: Holy shit. That is BADASS. I have the highest respect for people who work with their...

Needs more cowbell

A complete lunatic with a very understanding wife decided to go and make a heavy metal cover of BLUE OYSTER CULT’s classic song, “(Don’t Fear) The Reaper”, and… well, this: I dunno about y’all, but I do prefer that song with...

Ready the harpoons, boys!

LTC Tom Kratman, Grand Strategikon and Excruciator-in-Chief of the Evil League of Evil, has crafted a suitably diabolical plan for the coming Feast of the God-Emperor’s Ascension on January 20th: Now think about that, for a bit. As I began, quoting...

Book Review: A Sea of Skulls by Vox Day

The Didact’s Best Albums of 2016

Now that we’ve gotten the best books of 2016 (in my ever-so-humble opinion) out of the way, it’s time to tackle the best albums that I’ve listened to all year. Now, the thing is, I actually listen to quite a lot more than just heavy metal- but for...

Don’t be a basic bitch

Still good advice even as we call time on 2016: There is, by the way, a similar standard for blokes: The lesson to take away here is that you’re not going to impress anyone by being such a special snowflake that you end up simply doing whatever all of the...

Turn the EPIC knob all the way up to 11

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...

The Battle Hymn of the Republic

Sticking with the musical theme for a moment- there aren’t many songs that really get me choked up. But there are a few- and most of them have to do with pride, patriotism, and brotherhood. One of them is a song that every American knows the tune to and almost...
