[edit] Random comments from Interiot

Yarr, you fear the old Grand Am, taken from the parking lot when nobody was looking.

Wow, you have been cranking out the edits lately, good work. For what it's worth, I created the User:Slordak page, since having redlinks in usernames in history/recentchanges is bit of a red flag, which is something that definitely doesn't apply to you. --Interiot 05:36, 29 April 2006 (UTC)

Oh, for what it's worth, when you were playing Geometry Wars the other night, the game genre it reminded me of was called "manic shooters". I've never played a game like that, but it seems like something I could OCD over. --Interiot 03:06, 30 April 2006 (UTC)

I was bold and asked the question about auto-capitalization over at the village pump. It's likely someone will have a far more complete answer than mine... --Interiot 20:30, 25 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Hot Import Nights

I don't know if you're wikistalking* me or if we just managed to cross paths, but good work! :) People who can actually write prose are definitely needed here.

* Yes, we do have to prefix everything with wiki- . --Interiot 17:43, 27 September 2006 (UTC)

Alas, someone has to write the actual article content while you're busy disambiguating things and arguing about correct wikipolicy. -- Slordak 18:02, 27 September 2006 (UTC)
Ahh, wikidrama sucks most regulars in sooner or later. And some of the janitorial work I do is useful.
If I had the ability to write more content, I would. In response to some of the latest excessive drama, some of the regulars have tried to refocus on article content by collaborating on writing polar exploration. I'm envious of how much great writing they've been able to pump out in so little time. --Interiot 18:50, 27 September 2006 (UTC)
(you're probably just ribbing, but there has been some tension lately between users who generate a lot of content and users who spend more of their time doing janitorial work... partly as a result of the most recent wikidrama) --Interiot 19:08, 27 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Horus Heresy CCG

Nice work on that article! Thanks muchly! -- Saberwyn 23:06, 1 May 2006 (UTC)

My pleasure. And the Dark Millennium article is up now too! --Slordak 18:16, 12 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] List of Xbox 360 Games

Thank you so much for helping out with that and finishing up putting in the table format. I was the one who did the first few but I got busy after that and never had a chance to finish. So thank you!! Silver Sonic Shadow 01:06, 24 January 2007 (UTC)

Whew! You're welcome. It was a lot of work, and that was just the list for one console! There was also some additional work which went into straightening up the List of GameCube games, but it too is thankfully now complete. -- Slordak 21:14, 7 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Daybreak episodes

The summaries are too long. Episode articles are supposed to be summaries: not a guide to every little thing (which is what they seem like due to the mass amount of text). Daybreak episodes were what, 40 minutes or so? That certainly can be described somehow in less text. I'm not sure how, as I didn't watch the show much (and I'm no expert on writing summaries). RobJ1981 19:52, 2 April 2007 (UTC)

Day Break is a 13-episode show with a very dense plot. The show has lots of twists and turns, and a single missed detail can make the difference between understanding the chain of events and completely failing to do so. I would argue that it's actually impossible to understand the show if the plot summaries are made much less verbose than they currently are. It's possible to trim a sentence here or there (as I've done), but overall, one can't just delete all mention of a 5-minute scene from a summary and expect it to make sense. -- Slordak 20:09, 2 April 2007 (UTC)
