The Dink Network

Ok basically, what you have to do is get a photo of a video game character and cut out a section and see if people can figure out who they are! So with that, I'll start:

Here

Yeah i knew it was an anime character before i even clicked it.

Thats probaly the only sort style that he likes.

It's not an anime character per se. The game may be anime styled though

School girl anime uniform makes me think of Persona. But I never played them so who knows.

Sort of reminds me of Maka from Soul Eater, but the clothing is wrong. umm... I'm stumped.

its not the "H" word is it?

What do ye mean by that?
Anyway, I got bored. It's Anisette from Valkyria Chronicles 2 (and to elaborate, it's the best game ever).
Your turn.

It's someone from Valkeria, I know that much (by totally cheating).

D'oh, too slow. Let me show you something neat though:
www.tineye.com

Here's mine: http://i.imgur.com/A5OK1.jpg
(And no, TinEye doesn't work on it. )

Haha, I use tineye as well
I don't know who that is Lemme think.

(And no, TinEye doesn't work on it. )

But Google Search by Image does. Does it start with a B, end with an h, and have a z in the middle?

How do you Google search by image? And thanks for Tineye, will be nice to show my students sometime

"How do you Google search by image?"

Click the camera icon in the search bar at Google images. It's useful, I never knew about that before

That's awesome

It's obviously Drizzt Do'Urden.

You can also drag an image file onto the search box on the Google Images search or results page. And there's a Firefox addon so you can search from the context menu when you right-click on an image, although sometimes I have to click View Image first so it doesn't try to search for the background image or something.

dang, hoist with my own petard.

I was impressed with TinEye being able to recognize a cropped image, but I think Google did one better, because mine was a freshly taken screenshot.

Yes it's Barenziah, as seen in Morrowind.

Now I will never play Morrowind.

If you mean because the graphics are crappy, I don't disagree. I was struck by how bad that looked after playing newer games myself.

It's worth noting that there are loads of fan-made graphic patches though, with face and clothing upgrades being especially popular. Also, in case you couldn't tell, she's an old woman and dark elf, which partly explains the face, but does not excuse the horrible pixelated robe.

Maybe it even supports ENBSeries, look into it if you want to replay it

Let's see if you can guess this one.
Link.

@Kris

That Kaine girl.. thing.

O_O How'd you guess?!

Oh, and the other one is Guile from Street Fighter. I think...

I know a guy.

...Dink smallwood?

Here, I suck at HTML.

WTF? Normal links don't work...
Duck Duck Duck

Raziel from Soul Reaver!

You've played... ?

I just know he's from GTA..

>__< Mine was Shadow Dio from Jojo's bizarre adventure, thought someone would get it.

I've never even heard of that, which is rare when it comes to games

I just looked it up, but I felt that was cheating..

Since I didn't bother to cut just a part out of this picture...
Here

I know it's from Valkyria Chronicles...

Haha yeah Now name the character!

It's OG Loc, baby, OG Loc!!

Yep. Itz OG Loc da gangsta.

That's Rollie Fingers!

It's-a me, Mario!

I don't think anybody will get this one, it's from a pretty old game.

Name that character!

Ao oni!

Oh I know this one!

The Punisher!

Cool.

You.

I don't think anybody will get this one, it's from a pretty old game.

Nice try, but using TinEye again, I see it's something called "Dink Smallwood". I couldn't the actual character's name though.

*Mutters* Can't someone just ban this guy's IP address and stop him from making the forum an annoying flame-fest?

Too bad, Paul, it's a pretty sweet game. I'll guess you'll never know the joys of playing <censored>, or beheading <censored>, or making your own D-<censored>

This Bulls guy is annoying.
Anyway, I got bored. The chick I posted is Edy from the original Valkyria Chronicles. Also happens to be Anisette's sister

Yeah no idea what the main character of Dink Smallwood might be called... what's a Dink Smallwood anyway?

Some dude who left the toaster plugged in and got his ma killed.

Guess.

EDIT: Wait! I has two of thems!

That's me!

Planescape Torment?

One looks like it's from Grabbed by the Ghoulies.

Because people here don't know about awesome things, the first pic is Morte, the floating skull from Planescape Torment, i will give you guys a few more chances to guess the second guy.

Name all three!

Name them all!

Because people here don't know about awesome things, the first pic is Morte,

But I guessed it

But I guessed it

If I'd been paying more attention, I could've guessed it without looking at the picture. Do you play any other game, ForumLurker? hehe

you just said the name of the game he was from, not the name of the actual character.

Fair enough Reason is I still haven't played Planescape, though I hear good things about it...

It's a great game. Waaaay too much dialogue at places though, without any action in-between to balance it out.

I've got one. Just to throw a little variety in the game.

No one named my characters?
OK, the first three are anti-clockwise Avan, Cosette and Kurt from the Valkyria Chronicles series.
The second picture is Class G from Valkyria Chronicles 2

There's nobody, Skorn.

EDIT: Oh, wait. Not I see the slightly distorted image of a young girl's face.

Leah of Diablo 3?

@Krisknox: No, not the little girl, the flame in the middle.

Solaris from Sonic the Hedgehog (2008)?

Correct!

Nearly.

Am I right or not right? I can't be both.

It's Solaris in his original form from Sonic the Hedgehog 2006.

Arakune from BlazBlue.

Ook from Zelda.

Dang.

I found from the URL. I am a cheat.

Blizzeta, Twilight Princess.

I see there's another person who's played the game.

I have a creeping suspicion it might be Irving Lambert from Splinter Cell.

C'mon people, at least run your images through tinyURL if the address makes it instantly obvious.

EDIT: Nevermind, tinyURL shows the right address after you click it. Drat!

Haha yeah

A Conker's Bad Fur Day character?

Pff, that's easy. It's Glottis from Grim Fandango!

Oh gad that game made me sad in the end,

It's zLBHI from ... uh, Planescape: Torment!

Me during the night.

@DD
Prinny - Trinity Universe

@KK
Caleb from Blood I and II
where did u find this oldie

Blood just happens to be one of my favorite games in the world.

Toad man?

teenage mutant ninja chortles

Totally toad man.

<a href="/images/characters/custom_striker.gif">
Guess</a>

That's the guy from Samurai Showdown!

No, that's Striker from Back from the Grave.

Who is the guy from Samurai Showdown.

Can't do a link...

http://dalje.com/slike/slike_3/r1/g2008/m05/x31172323943030173_8.jpg

You can do better.

Alyx Vance.

Ahh yes. Alyx.
The best companion ever.
I'll try sumthin else.

Who's this?

A very old Serious sam.

Who?

Samurai Jack after falling into Bubsy 3D land.

Foolish Samurai.

Jack Mileage, Wanderer in Stone.

Nobody's gotten it yet

It's been being talked about around here...the game that ducker's from.

Big olllll drugs. Not really fair though, since it's not from the original by the looks of it.
