  Not gonna lie. When I first saw this come up in my feed, I got it mixed up with BoneStorm from The Simpsons which got me curious about there being a real life version of that game.

  When I heard “Emperor of mankind killed”, a lot of 40k memories from college was triggered.

  "ineffective marketing campaign" ...  I mean, 'buy me bloodstorm or go to hell' was RIGHT there

  Was wondering when you'd cover this one. I met Daniel Pesina earlier this year. He's a great guy. According to him, the famous Bloodstorm ad was actually recommended to him by Ed Boon and John Tobias, due in part to Midway refusing to pay him properly, but also because someone at Strata was a former Midway employee asking for a favor. There are layers upon layers with this tale. Lol

  Is it just me, or does Talon look EVERYTHING like Lex Luthor in his warsuit (aka his Lexorian armor) from Justice League?

  my brother worked for Incredible Technologies as his first job out of college, this is what he told me:<br><br>“We had a blood storm arcade cabinet in the office. It was terrible. But they were proud of it, Mentioned that they planned to release a new fighting game based on those learnings, which never happened.”

  &quot;Today&apos;s forecast is a 60% chance of light BloodShowers this morning that will transition into a BloodStorm for the rest of the day. Tomorrow will continue with a BloodDownpour until later that evening.&quot;

  As a kid, with a name that sounded like that one game from the Simpsons (BONESTORM!!!), Bloodstorm was one of those games that was just trying so hard to be edgy that it was just goofy. It played and looked goofy. Even us 90s kids had standards. &nbsp;<br><br>If you wanted us to take your game seriously, then take your game seriously. MK might look like pure camp, but it did try to take its characters and lore seriously enough for people to care.

  Honestly, if they&apos;re gonna bring in Daniel Pesina and dress him up as Johnny Cage to do marketing, you may as well just throw him in the game a la Twin Goddesses. It would&apos;ve been dumb and make the artstyle even more disgusting than it already is but screw it, this is BloodStorm. Call him something &quot;Jamie Blaze&quot; or some crap lol

  I remember when I was younger, my brother showed me the intro of this game...I started puking and he got grounded when my mom found out, but weirdly enough, for the longest time I never ever remembered the intro itself after that happened, I only remembered the game and stayed the hell away from it

  What a pleasant surprise!<br><br><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IP3Lx_XTzRg&amp;t=385">6:25</a> The arcade release actually advertised a guidebook that went more in depth with the lore. Apparently Nekron was a mad scientist who ended up in not!hell after an experiment gone wrong, but proved badass enough to conquer the place. Of course, none of this is hinted in the game itself.
