It’s 227 million years ago. The Upper Triassic period is starting. Coloradisaurus‘ are roaming around peacefully, chomping on trees. The NES is still considered next-gen. There are lots of rocks.
“RAWR!” Came the booming call from across the sandy plains. The other dinosaurs took note. “I have arrived!”
Welcome to DinoPad.com. This is a video game blog. But it’s more specific than that. There are thousands of video game blogs out there so why bother starting a new one, and what makes this one so special anyway?
There is only one real answer to that: Dinosaurs.
This blog is all about dinos and video games. Big ones, small ones, omnivores, carnivores, retro, current-gen etc. They can all find a place here.
But it’s not just myself bringing you all the news, reviews and articles you would ever need (arguably more than you could ever need) about dinosaurs and video games. Here is the awesome team making it all not just possible, but very awesome too:
Wardrox
I’m the guy who accidentally made this place after a joke that was made on The Podcastle (A “brit-pop” podcast for Destructoid). I love video games and a I love small blogs/communities which cover ground no other sites cover. I’m the founder of DinoPad’s sister (or brother?) site NegativeGamer.com and aim to use my masive pro-journalism skills here to achieve great, dinotastic success.
Gary
Hi, my name is Gary (more commonly known as garison on the internet). I am from the middle of nowhere, so basically what I do is hang out on the internet to pass the time. When I heard Wardrox was scowering the internet for writers willing to contribute to a ’secret project’, I was all in.
I’m very excited to write for DinoPad. I think we could all write some pretty awesome dino-related stories on here. See you all IN THE FUTURE! … well … if dinosaurs don’t all raise up and take over the earth that is …
Jordan
OK, so, my name is Jordan, I go by ‘Corican’ on the internet and on the PSN. I’m 20 years old, and I’m studying English Language at Cardiff University in Wales (in the UK). I have a Laptop, DS and a PS3. I really love the PS3 and spend too much time on it. I also do a lot of rock climbing which I really enjoy and I’m looking forward to travelling around the world with my friends after I leave university.
I remember the day when I first urged Wardrox to create this site, I knew then that greatness would come of it. It is an honour and a pleasure to write for the greatest dinosaur-themed games blog.
Dant
My name is Dant Rambo and I write for specialtygamer.com and decoymusic.com. Since I was just a wee lad, I thought that dinosaurs were the coolest beings to ever roam the planet. Everybody knows that they’re the greatest extinct creatures since sliced bread, but their presence in media remains sorely overlooked.
For that reason, I see it as the responsibility of the writer to document their history as well as track their presence in modern times. Though specific focus will be on their appearances in the realm of gaming, I know all the writers here will also aim to broaden the focus and discuss their presence in other mediums as well. I hope you enjoy what we all have to say!
Chris
Rawr! I’m Chris, informally known as Fusion. I like dinosaurs (especially the old Jim Henson sitcom Dinosaurs) and video games and as such I thought to combine my passions for them all into one big rawrsome package.
