Title: Should Axem be blamed?
Post by: CT27 on August 17, 2020, 05:12:04 pm
In one of the FS2 Command Briefing pages, one of Bosch's crimes was "Not blaming Axem."  It was funny. :)


Is this a meme or inside joke I missed somewhere that explains this?

Generally speaking, command briefing animations and cutscenes (the latter still underway) were remade in high quality by MjnMixael and he put a bunch of easter eggs and nods to community members in his works. Like, man, just look at this topic (https://www.hard-light.net/forums/index.php?topic=96788.0), I think more than a half of the text in the cutscene is community members writing funny stuff.

Axem should be blamed for all unfortunate events on this plane of existence.

It's an old HLP meme, the earliest occurrences seem to date back to 2010 (I personally picked up on it back in 2011).
