BioWare has been hit with layoffs and reassignments as it pivots to Mass Effect 5, and that includes veteran talent that helped make the Dragon Age series what it is today. Ken and Eric sit down to try and figure out what it all means, ponder the future of the studio, and look toward our upcoming Veilguard season.

104: Fantasy Draft Pt 2 - Creating the Best List of Video Game Music for the Class - Chaotic Harmony Podcast

I’m absolutely in love with video games... They are my greatest escape...

Call it infantile if you want, but maybe the only reason I wake up every morning is my favorite games. They let me forget about a meaningless life and escape from the grim reality.

...I probably would have broken down and given up long ago, but luckily, I’ve found solace and shelter in better worlds.



“That's the thing about getting old, Shepard. The platitudes get just as old.” —Garrus Vakarian, Mass Effect

Squad Under Fire - Mass Effect-Inspired Combat Track

Mass Effect

In this episode of the Low Meins Asylum Show, we dive into the dark, gritty universe of Warhammer 40K and how it might just be the godfather of modern sci-fi gaming.

From DOOM to StarCraft, Halo to Gears of War, developers across the industry have borrowed themes, visuals, and even entire factions from the Warhammer universe. We break it all down: the history, the aesthetics, and the undeniable influence of 40K on your favorite franchises.

Did DOOM really copy Warhammer? Was StarCraft just a remix of the 40K factions? And why does everything in sci-fi feel just a little bit grimdark these days? Tap in—we’re talking facts, history, and gaming culture with zero filters.

Press play, share with a gamer friend, and welcome to the asylum!
