Gift Box – Christmas, birthday and celebration from Crestock Stock Photography

From all of us at DCHelp and the rest of the DCEvolution network, we would like to wish you all a very merry Christmas (and, for everyone that celebrates other holidays, we hope you have [or had] an extremely happy holiday). In honor of Christmas, DCEvolution has brought you the “Twisted Christmas” package, a total conversion (TC) mod for Quake.

As we usher in the new year, we want you all to know that we are still alive and kicking, and we are still devoted to the Dreamcast. We will continue to produce high-quality (and probably some low-quality) CD images for your Sega Dreamcast, along with some new tutorials and tools throughout 2010 and hopefully for a long time to come. Thank you for your support, and we look forward to seeing you again in the new year.

For anyone even remotely close to the Washington DC metropolitan area, I hope I will get to see you at MAGFest 8, as we spend three days doing nothing but playing video games, listening to music and enjoying a game-filled atmosphere.

After a few days out in the ether, DC Evolution has been resurrected again. We have moved the site to a new Web server and got it back up and running. Everything should be working properly again (and, hopefully since we’re on a new server, more reliable and fast). If you find something on the Web site that’s not working properly, please let us know by commenting on this post or by posting something in our forums.

So far, we have released five old (some of them are genuine classics), public domain horror films for you to watch on Halloween night (or whenever you want). I would suggest grabbing each of the images and burning them to CD, pulling out your Dreamcast (if it’s not already hooked up) and settling in for a spooktacular Saturday evening. Dress up as one of the zombies from Resident Evil or House of the Dead 2, watch some classic horror films and rock out some House of the Dead, Resident Evil: Codename Veronica, Quake III Arena or Carrier in between movies.

We’ll provide the movies, but you have to supply the popcorn, costumes and games for yourself.

With that said, we hope you enjoy the following multimedia images, courtesy of the DC Evolution team:

• Horror Express
• Deadtime Stories
• Night of the Living Dead (the original zombie film)
• Horror Hotel
• House on Haunted Hill (the 1959 version, featuring the legendary Vincent Price)

We might even squeeze in one more classic film before Halloween is upon us. You’ll just have to wait and see.

Don’t have a Dreamcast? That’s okay. You can still download most of these classic videos from the Internet Archive.

In the near future, we will probably be adding some of our favorite Dreamcast-related YouTube videos, adding some photos and adding some of the upcoming events in which we’re participating. If there’s anything else you think we should post on Facebook, let us know.

Please share your thoughts with us about the new layout. Some time in the near future, we’ll probably be making some similar changes to DCHelp.

On top of all of that, our new Web site is now based on the popular Wordpress blog system, allowing us to more easily organize our content and allowing you to post your thoughts and comments. We hope you will stick around and renew some of the love we all have for our favorite video game console, the Sega Dreamcast.

Happy 10th Birthday, Dreamcast!
