Retro Games With A Twist
Silverhertz | 3:51 PM on 02.28.2008 1 comments


I know a lot of people on this site really dig retro games. Im one of those people. So when I came across this I had to share with y'alls.

Retro Sabotage

This site shows us a different side to some of the greatest retro games. What if Pacman went on a killer rampage after his lust for round dots. What if the Space Invaders could not be stopped, the domination of man just an inevitability. What if these so called simple retro games, had a far deeper meaning. Im pretty sure this hasnt been posted before but if it has, im a failer.

I would also like to point you in the direction of my new blog header, which features some of the characters you will see in my next Dtoid wallpaper. Hopefully it will be pretty epicsauce, full of characters you know and love...if I ever get round to finishing it that is.

MA,LMSYI: FUCK PANDAS EDITION
Silverhertz | 10:52 AM on 02.09.2008 10 comments


This thread from last night was great, and incidently did'nt turn into a flame war, just a very lovely debate about whaling and the consequences.

Inspired by this I decided to make some badges for all you, proers, conners and fence sitters.

For all you people who think whales and pandas are lazy assholes who should get jobs, I got something for you to share the hate



For all you people who think the whales should be represented, I got something for you to share the love



And for all you fence-sitters, who couldnt care either way, this should cover your ambiguity



I fricken love you guys <3

My art let me shows you it: JIM STERLING SECRET DYNASTY WARRIOR CHARACTER EDITION
Silverhertz | 3:55 PM on 02.04.2008 25 comments


Whilst reading Jims post earlier today I was struck by the ideas he portrayed in this piece, the integrity and brilliance of the piece. One question that I feel he didnt answer properly, or infact at all, was this:

What would Jim Sterling look like if he inhabited the world of Dynasty Warriors?

He didnt even attempt to answer this in his post, and so being the inquisitive sort I went seeking answers of my own. My first port of call was his myspace to see if any answers could be found. Alas, all I could find was a picture of him with a bearded gentlemen and, although humourous, didnt really help me with the answers I seeked.



Beards make everything fun

Distraught, but not on the verge of giving up I decided to try the characters of Dynasty Warriors themselves. So onto google I trekked, desperate for some form of closure to this most enigmatic of equations. Whilst there were a couple of the ancient chinese warlords who had the look or attitude found in Mr.Sterling, I found one character stood out among the others who captured the very intensity and soul of our dear writer.



Gender confusion makes everything fun

Alas...he looked nothing like the intrepid Sterling. What could I do to somehow find the answer I seeked whilst retaining that Sterlingness that was so Jim?Finally...after mere moments of pondering...I had it! It was so simple....staring me in the face like a deer who likes to cuddle after buggery. There was only one way that this question was ever going to have an answer.....







800x600
1024x768
1280x1024

I hope Jim doesnt destroy me like Lu Bu for this

Play-Asia Dynasty Warriors Figure Miss.Information
Silverhertz | 6:16 AM on 01.28.2008 4 comments


So when Jim was talking about those dirty lookin DW figures I decided to put a pre-order in with play-asia for the nicer looking Zhao Yun figure here instead.


Mmmmm smexy!

Well like all good things (chocolate teapots, free porn) this came to an end pretty quick. Turns out those play-asia guys only got sent a promotional image and missinformation prevailed once more. Ill let them explain.

This is an important e-mail update regarding your pending Chao Yuen / ShinSangoku Musou 5 PVC Figure preorder (#9364010 ). As we offered the preorder, we had limited information from our supplierand were expecting that we only get one character, Chao Yuen.As we received our delivery today, it turned out, that we actuallyreceived a series of Trading figures, which 8 different characters and 4secret versions. Gan Ning, Lu Bu, Sun Shang Xiang, Xiahou Dun, Guan Yu, Chao Yun, ZhangLiao & Diao Chan are the characters featured.


Teh HORROORRRRRZZ!!!!1!!

However they do give you the option to cancel your order being the nice people that they are (and not wanting your to asplode from the sight of these demonic figurines so that you can continue buying their wonderful wonderful products). I decided to stick with my order though, as the prospect of 4 secret characters intrigues me. Perhaps they arent all as eye melteringly ghastly as that sun shang figure. Just possibly. Maybe. And perhaps theres always the chance I could end up with the one and only...


....Its LU BU! LU BU HAS COME TO DESTROY US!!!

This has been a Dynasty Warriors related announcement by Silverhertz. Anyone who doesnt like Dynasty Warriors can go to hell...and why are you even reading this OMG!

 about me

Maybe ill go next-gen one day...the PS3 is looking pretty tempting. At the moment im content playing on my PC, DS & Gamecube.

Top 5 Games
Chaos (ZX Spectrum) - One of the earliest games I played, and I still enjoy it today.
Zelda: OoT (N64) - Cliche I know but this game made me open up my heart to consoles.
Eternal Darkness: Sanitys Requiem (GC) - Only got a GC recently but I couldnt put this game down.
Dawn of War (PC) - Multiplayer RTS at its best, unlike 2 - Relic WTF?
Total Annihilation (PC) - The original rocked so hard, wasn't that impressed with the 'Spiritual Successor' Supreme Commander.

Favourite Series of Games
Dynasty Warriors - Square, Square, Square, Triangle.....Circle MUSSSOOOOUUUUUUUU!!
Age of Wonders - I have a strange love for these turn-based time consumers.
Battlefield - Ever since 1942, best multiplayer action Ive found.
Delta Force - The other FPS series I enjoyed, shame Joint Ops sucked
Eye of the Beholder - Old school RPG <3
Mechwarrior - Giant mechs blowing the crap out of each other? Whats not to love. I miss you FASA.
