Welcome to the 'Grim Dark Starter Pack' here on GMG. Today's a first step into some new kinds of content that will explore all sorts of media; from games to film to books across a genre we all love; GRIM DARK.

 

Today we're setting out some ground rules. What qualifies as grimdark? What are its themes and elements? This longer-format beginner episode will kick off a whole series of these videos that are going to set the stage for us to deconstruct and discuss some of our favourite media; past, present and future. 

 

Ash is joined today by fan favourite Jay to kick this off, but expect tons of collaborators to join in and bring some of THEIR favourites to this series in the future. Expect an endless parade of bleak-dystopian-punk-horror-cosmic-insanity in the future.

 

Let's go.
