Equally, Blood brought me to Shogo, which made me look more seriously into anime, helping bring me into contact with Neon Genesis Evangelion, a series that I now place alongside Blood on my personal favourites list (and a driving inspiration behind my own works at animation). Lovecraft (an audio compendium of which is on its way towards us, alongside a disc or two of Edgar Allan Poe, as we finish listening to Something Wicked This Way Comes of E1M4: Dark Carnival fame). Blood also, as has been the case for many Bloodites, opened my eyes to a whole underground of culture unknown to me beforehand, from the horror comedy of the Evil Dead series (having just watched Army of Darkness for the first time as a holiday treat) that inspired so many 1990s first-person shooters ( Doom and Duke Nukem 3D besides) to the mass influence of the words of H.P. The affect of setting up this wiki also had a profound influence on myself as a person, helping as it did to make me realize just how much people can grow to love a fiction, and express it either through devout playtime, documentation and homage.įor example, it was first reading through the fan fiction for Blood that first started me down my own road to learning the ways of writing (to the point that I am now in contact as a sometime contributor to a bi-monthly paper with a humble but Canada-wide circulation), a process no doubt also carried along by the gruelling task of setting up and editing over the words stored on this very site. Five years in operation is an impressive life-span for any website, particularly for one about a series of games that had not seen an official release for almost nine years at the time, and as such we stand proudly among our even older kin of Blood websites that have graced the Internet now for well over a decade. I do not wish for this delay to cloud however the great significance that this commemoration has for myself and the rest of us here at the Blood Wiki. Anyhow, as for explanation as to why this page has been launched over two and a half weeks after the date in question (January 12), all that can be said is four or so words: cold, colds, exams and the usual stuff of life. It is perhaps a notable shame that such a momentous occasion as the wiki's fifth anniversary had to occur within such a busy period for us on the administration staff, not that one ever really feels they have as much spare time around as they would prefer.
