The Dink Network

Something about me...
Well, I was born June 2 1987 which makes me 22 years old at the time of this writing. I first started playing Dink around 2002 and joined the forums in may 2005. Since December 2008 I've been doing the polls here on the Dinknetwork, so if you think a poll is stupid, funny or plain pointless it's probably my fault.

I also released some DMODs here. The first two called Dink learns music and Quest for the gems aren't really that great, but I also released The scourger, a DMOD that I still consider to be my opus magnum.
Progress on new DMODs is going very very slowly though. I still have a DMOD in production called "Terminal Tranquility 1, Paninga". But as mentioned before progress is really slow, so don't count on it being released any time soon.

I've made a development file called "An introduction to DMOD making" which seems to be very popular, be sure to check it out if you're interested in making DMODs yourself!

If you wish to contact me you can do so by posting a private message on the forum, or by emailing to: metatarasal (at) hotmail (dot) com

Because it's not necessary. One of the reasons Playstation 2 had the DVD and PS3 had the blu-ray was that you could use it to watch movies which was a really important selling point. This way you could tell your wife/husband/parents that they'd save the money on buying a DVD/blu-ray player when buying a game console. But currently even 3D HD movies don't need anything more than blu-ray yet.

Also, with current broadband internet physical data carriers are getting less and less important. You can now watch HD movies online if you want. Perhaps omitting the optical drive altogether is a more futuristic approach than including a new kind of optical drive. But Sony and Microsoft weren't ready to do that yet.
