[edit] Comics terminology v. Comic book terminology
They are different and the difference is that some terms are used throughout the field of comics and others are only used within the field of comic book publishing. An example is Donaldism, a term that has nothing to do with comic books whatsoever. The comic book terminology category is a logical sub-cat of both this and comic books. I would advise against merging them. Steve block Talk 22:04, 13 June 2006 (UTC)
[edit] CRPG pic
Yes, but what kind of picture should I get? One with dialogue? No dialogue? Combat? Etc.. -- Solberg 04:15, 20 July 2006 (UTC)Solberg
- Alright, I'll see what I can find. Right now, I'm thinking of using this pic:
(Player has chosen to start out as an Ogre and Virgil has reacted rather indignantly to the possibility that this may be the chosen one (Ogre is standing next to the wrecked air ship-- steampunk imagery; sprase dialogue displays effects of character creation)
See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image:Screen0015.jpg
Is this alright? I have plenty of others. Just give me a detailed description.
-- Solberg 07:53, 20 July 2006 (UTC)Solberg
It's perfectly fine, if you recall, I wanted to be anal about the quality of the leading screenshot anyhow. Looking at your examples, I think I know what you're looking for, I'll be back later with some new shots. -- Solberg 21:57, 20 July 2006 (UTC)Solberg
Here's another shot: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image:Screen0026.jpg It's the lair of Bellogrim, the last known specimen of an extinct species (namely dragons) Tell me what you think. -- Solberg 23:58, 20 July 2006 (UTC)Solberg
Btw, I want to delete the previous screenshot (Screen0015.jpg), how do I do that? Thanks...
I enhanced the contrast and brightness of the screenshot with Gimp, so it'll probably look better after thumbnailing. Thanks for the suggestion, I'll take a look at the Arcanum article again.
[edit] Units in Nintendo Wars
Done; I read CSD A5 and found an AfD pointing to it with a similar name, and got confused. However, the transwiki issue needs to be addressed. The article has been transwiki'd, and should be rewritten now as an encyclopedia article, or it will probably be deleted later. Mangojuicetalk 13:29, 21 July 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Amerime
Thanks for moving the page. I always advocated the existance of the article, but never really felt clean about making up a name for it. And at least now I won't have to try and claim credit for the name. -Litefantastic 22:49, 24 July 2006 (UTC)
[edit] FF6
Thanks for the feedback; I'll see if I can work on those in a bit :) — Deckiller 02:42, 25 July 2006 (UTC)
[edit] {{CVG deletion}}
Just a friendly note to say: haw haw!. It seems I'm just that much faster at leaving notes about template substitution than you. =P RandyWang (raves/review me!) 14:37, 29 July 2006 (UTC)
[edit] I like your name.
I like your name. Anomo 15:12, 30 July 2006 (UTC)
- Me too. I always planned to start a rock band named Severe Tire Damage one day...but then They Might Be Giants came out with an album by that name... —pfahlstrom 07:26, 3 August 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Thanks for the wikilink
Thanks for linking the Demon of Laplace (computer game) article on List of HummingBirdSoft games; I had no idea the article existed and I wasn't sure of the translation when I slapped on the katakana. I had a hard enough time trying to decide if the HummingBirdSoft article should've actually been named in camelcase like that, or if it should've been "Hummingbird Soft" or "HummingBird Soft" or even "Humming Bird Soft." :P As obscure as some of these companies/games are (although HummingBirdSoft did create the Record of Lodoss War series), I believe they deserve a place in Wikipedia; I'm sure there are still plenty of people out there who would like to know about these games and companies. :) --Tristam 19:01, 10 August 2006 (UTC)
- Depending on the game case or intro screen, the company either spells its name HummingBirdSoft, HummingBird Soft, or Humming Bird Soft (it's almost always the camelcase spelling though), but across the web I've seen Hummingbird Soft. I did a google search for the katakana of Demon of Laplace and found that it was still yet released across other platforms, such as the Sharp X68000 and Fujitsu FM-7. These may be obscure to Americans, but in Japan they were pretty popular computers. When I look at the Super Mario Bros. Special article, I wonder at the editors' constant emphasis on the word "obscure" when describing the NEC PC-8801. Sure, it's obscure to Americans, but back in the day it was one of the most popular PCs in Japan.
[edit] Timothy Cain
I already had this discussion with another user-- there is (at least) another famous Tim Cain out there, see http://www.timcain.com/ . I'll change the redirect of Tim Cain to a more general page like CRPG. And I've talked to the webmaster of that site before, I'm afraid the guy in the picture is Tim Cain. Mad geniuses! -- Solberg 06:39, 13 August 2006 (UTC)Solberg
P.S. Thanks for changing the stub into a specialist stub, I didn't know there were specific stubs for CVG. Didn't know about the developer category either. That reminds me, what do you think of the "Prominent Designers" list I made in the computer rpg section a while back? Anybody you think I should add/remove? -- Solberg 06:43, 13 August 2006 (UTC)Solberg
- Reply-- Holy crap, that's way too many stubs. Has anybody ever thought about pruning all that or is it really all necessary? -- Solberg 06:54, 13 August 2006 (UTC)Solberg
[edit] Barnstar for you!

- It's always nice to see your name on CVG-related pages, and fortunately for me, I see it everywhere. I think it's time you received some recognition for your contributions, and here it is. Congratulations on the well-deserved barnstar. RandyWang (chat me up/fix me up) 11:31, 14 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] afd archives
Are deleted pages archived? I could've sworn they are but I may be thinking of something else. -- Solberg 22:48, 15 August 2006 (UTC)Solberg
[edit] Are you all right?
I find it troubling that you disappeared suddenly and without a trace despite a consistent and long stream of edits. I tend to post very sporadically, sometimes a ton of edits in a day and then only a couple for a few weeks but your track record is pretty consistent. Are you a college student just mired in work or has something come up? -- Solberg 09:08, 11 September 2006 (UTC)Solberg
- Shit, just came here to find out you'd gone. That's a shame, but I have now stubbed In-game advertising instead of that redirect. - Hahnchen 04:17, 20 October 2006 (UTC)
