New D-Mod: A Knight's Tale Trois
Posted by Tal on Sunday March 7th, at 10:30 AM
Fulfilling his promise to submit a D-Mod to the Network within 3 hours, SabreTrout has released A Knight's Tale Trois. The description is as follows: "Jarvis goes to Draco Peak to sort out some more bad guys. As usual, he is obnoxious and cocky. Just the way we like him." Now stop wallowing in your fascination that Sabre actually released something, download the D-Mod, and tell us just how bad it really is.

(Don't worry - he says he can take it like a man. A man sharing a prison cell with other lonely fellows, that is.)
 
Ask Tal: Prelude to Destruction
Posted by Tal on Wednesday March 10th, at 08:51 PM
Ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls, Dinkers and random visitors who have no clue what sheer madness they've stumbled upon by reading this article before attaining a firm grasp on just what the heck this Small Woodink madness or whatever, I am proud to (re-)announce the revival of Ask Tal!

Wait whoa what huh? "What the snot is Ask Tal," you may ask yourself; "I participate in this community to slam talentless authors whenever a slimeball of a D-Mod is released, not to read pointless, rambling articles from a low-grade hick." Well, before I begin my clarification, I'd like to mention that talking to yourself is a serious, rapidly-spreading epidemic that must be stopped (President Bush does it in his sleep!). Quickly-conjured, time-wasting studies entirely devoid of evidence show that talking to yourself leads to depression, depression leads to stress, stress leads to impaired judgment, and impaired judgment leads to doobie-smoking. Do your part to halt this disintegration of society and see your psychiatrist or counselor of choice... that is, if they don't talk to themselves, too.

For more about the history of Ask Tal and what the future holds, read the comments.

Guess who's back, back again? Tal is back, make passionate love to a friend.

Yes, it's Actual Proof (patent pending) that Ask Tal has most definitely made a return. Ask Tal is my occasional article of sheer stupidity, lunacy, and mystery where I attempt to answer your questions about anything and everything in an amusing, possibly unexpected manner. Read the comments for the full boatload of oddness.

Awards: February 2004 Download of the Month
Posted by Tal on Monday March 22nd, at 07:53 PM
Off schedule as usual, we here at the Dink Network are proud to present to you the DOTM voting page for February 2004! Quite a number of choices await you this month, with Banana Weapon, Coloured Blood Pack 1 (crazy non-American English speakers..), Dinkaventure, Elemental Swords, and Hide-and-seek available for voting, along with each entry in the Weird D-Mod contest (Dream Weaver: Silent Knight, Progeny, and Triangle Mover). Of course, you could also vote for None, but with such a great selection this month it'd be rather disappointing to see noone bring home the bacon. Go now... vote!
 
New D-Mod: Kill Murdoock!!!
Posted by redink1 on Monday March 22nd, at 08:13 PM
Neo has released Kill Murdoock!!, his first D-Mod. In it, Dink decides that killing monsters is not the way for him, and he whittles away his days sewing banana socks in his aunt's attic. But then a killer lady bug invasion comes in, and Dink must get over his foolish peaceful tendancies to kill the lady bug leader: Murdoock.

Whoops, wrong D-Mod. Actually, there is an evil Wizard by the name Murdoock, and Dink must kill him.
 
Awards: February 2004 Download of the Month Results

The results of the February 2004 DOTM are in, and surprisingly, they aren't being posted ridiculously behind schedule this time! (At least, in comparison to the beginning of the voting.) Paul takes the prize with Triangle Mover, with the other weird D-Mod entries following in 2nd and 3rd.

The real winner, though, is me, since I purchased Unreal Tournament 2004 Special Edition. The headset... stellar. The DVDs... yummy. The metal case.. slightly bent out of place. Onslaught... outrageously awesomely cooleriffic. Onslaught.. extremely incredibly great. Onslaught... responsible for the disappearance of triangles across the nation?
