things in games that are
sort of dorito shaped
We love eating Doritos and talking about Doritos so here are some things in games that are sort of shaped like Doritos.
connor's arrowheads
Although this is an arrowhead from Assassin's Creed 3, arrowheads in any game are sort of Doirito shaped. Lots of games feature bows and arrows. Despite being similar in shape, a Dorito would make a poor substitute for an actual arrowhead.
the ship in the atari 7800 version of asteroids
The two Doritos next to the score represent the remaining player lives. We put in the bullets ourselves to make it clear the Dorito is meant to be the ship and isn't just a sort of Dorito shaped asteroid. Like an asteroid, a Dorito can break into many pieces.
bowser's shell spikes
The background image is a picture of some foreign Dorito packs with a Photoshop effect to make it look a bit arty. Although not visible here, the writing on the pack seemed to be Arabic in origin so we suppose Doritos are sold in places where people can read Arabic. However, the word 'Dorito' is written in normal language, so perhaps there isn't an Arabic word for Dorito.
captain falcon's collar
Because Captain Falcon is associated with speed, we have applied a motion blur effect to the background image to create a sense of high velocity movement. The background image is actually a photo of a pile of Doritos on a plate. We don't know who took the photo or why.
dualshock triangle button
Because the closest recognisable shape of 99% of all Doritos is triangle, this was an easy one to think of because the button on the DualShock controller is referred to in most countries as the 'triangle button'. We added the Dorito dust to make the picture look more authentic.
A Goomba head
We were just going to do a Goomba's teeth as the sort of Dorito shaped thing, but then we noticed the whole Goomba head is actually sort of Dorito shaped.
the teeth of jaws unleashed
We were glad we didn't do the Goomba teeth in the end because we did the teeth of Jaws from Jaws Unleashed instead and they look loads more impressive because there's more teeth that are sort of Dorito shaped. If Jaws actually had teeth made of Dorito they would become soggy as sharks spend most of their time underwater.
pyramid head's head
Despite being defintely sort of Dorito shaped we really struggled to find a Dorito the same shape as Pyramid Head's head. In the end we actually put two Doritos together using Photoshop to create the necessary shape.
red dead sheriff badge
Instead of using two big Doritos to make the star shape, we actually used six smaller Doritos. If you look closely you can just make out the word 'SHERIFF' on the badge. With the aid of glue, Doritos could be used to make a pretty good sheriff badge for a real-life cowboy party.
star fox supply ring
Could have done a 'DO A BARREL ROLL!' joke here but thought we'd just leave it because we liked that frog-in-the-hat man was saying 'LOOK, LOOK!!' like he couldn't believe the supply ring was made of Doritos and not the yellow triangles like normal.
swimwear
We wanted to do this for Space Channel 5's Ulala's knickers because they are sort of Dorito shaped and also sort of Dorito coloured, but we couldn't find a good enough picture of them no matter how hard we used Google image search.
legend of zelda triforce
If the Triforce was made of Dorito each piece would be a different flavour. Wisdom would be Blazin' Buffalo & Ranch flavour. Courage would be Smoky Chipotle BBQ flavour. Power would be Nacho Cheese flavour.
Remember to enjoy Doritos and Shoot The Barrel responsibly as part of a healthy balanced diet. And if you like Doritos follow us on Twitter because we might talk about Doritos on there some time.
