Starry Fight

Infamous art rage-quitter Van Gogh sure knew his way around a paintbrush, and he ended up creating some of the most valuable pigment-based luxuries in the world. One of his most celebrated masterpieces, Starry Night, has now been turned into a Counter-Strike map. Imagine how proud he’d feel. Yeah, you can get the map here, and watch a video tour ‘neath the cut. (Via Offworld.)

As an aside, I’ve always felt there haven’t been enough RTS games based on the works of Hieronymus Bosch. Sacrifice seems like a lonely compromise. What long-dead artistic visionary would you base a game on, readers?

    I’ve been beaten to the punch with Dali and Goya, damn. Of course, no bloody FPS could really capture it; what we’d need is either an action-adventure (although more in the style of Fahrenheit/Indigo Prophecy without QTE) or RPG-thing of a game.

    Warhol FPS where you fight consumerism and cliche with miniguns.

    Includes a cheat which replaces all blood with Campbell’s tomato soup.
