Rearranging stolen ripped graphics

This might seem like a silly question but if a game has stolen graphics from another game and some of them are unused in the game that stole them but are not in the original source, would it be fine to not arrange the tiles and post them as how they appear in the tile editor?

RE: Spelling and Grammar

Okay, I'll make sure that I try using the spell checker GlitterBerri recommended to me (I'm using it now). My native language isn't English, so the only option I had was to use Google Translate, which didn't help much. I'm very sorry. TempleofDreams (talk) 10:22, 30 November 2013 (EST)

Re:Counter-Strike Global Offensive Title

From Talk:Battlefield 3:

Usually, for games without title screens, we take a screenshot of the first pre-game menu, or whatever screen has the game's title on it somewhere.

Has there been a change of heart about this? The image uploaded was of the first screen you see upon loading the game, which would seem to fit. -TheKins (talk) 05:49, 5 December 2013 (EST)

After seeing that menu, I think we're going to have to change our "title screen" policies a bit. There's virtually nothing there that identifies it as belonging to CS:GO (in fact, I thought it was just the generic Steam UI at first). The fact that it's almost entirely dynamic content (e.g. news updates and friend lists) and thus changes on a daily basis makes it even worse. --BMF54123 (talk) 16:13, 5 December 2013 (EST)

True, I was actually gonna pipe in about this myself, but TheKins beat me to it. DotA 2 is the same, IIRC, and I don't know if we have an article for DotA 2 yet (I should check). Personally, I'm surprised that Valve hasn't done the same for games like Team Fortress 2, but I do agree that title screen policies need a bit of a change in regards to dynamic content homescreens. 404: User Not Found ^(talk) 16:27, 5 December 2013 (EST)

Yes, we do have a Dota 2 article. In fact, if you check the Recent Changes, BMF just deleted the Dota 2 "title screen". --AquaBat (talk) 16:32, 5 December 2013 (EST)

New Portal intro

You sir are amazing. That is by far the greatest article intro on this site (prove me wrong people, prove me wrong :P) 404: User Not Found ^(talk) 20:31, 7 December 2013 (EST)

I just copied it from the game... --BMF54123 (talk) 20:34, 7 December 2013 (EST)

Oh....it's been ages since I played Portal. Oops! 404: User Not Found ^(talk) 21:20, 7 December 2013 (EST)

With all due respect

With all due respect, I have to ask this: Block me for what? What I said was not "mouthing off". If I had told you to go....well you get the idea, then yes if I were you, I'd block me. But I didn't. I was asking a simple question that required a simple answer, and no edit summary attitude. What I said to you was said with all due respect, and yet you've chosen to take it as me mouthing off to you, and it saddens me to see this side of you. It's at this point that I'm going to get back to gathering images up on my desktop that need to be uploaded for the Team Fortress 2 article, as well as some for the Left 4 Dead 2 article. Hopefully you don't take this the wrong way. 404: User Not Found ^(talk) 04:04, 10 December 2013 (EST)

Dude. I'm not sure if you realize this, but your initial message on that file's talk page was what prompted BMF's annoyance in his response to you. "Not sure why BMF felt it necessary to replace a perfectly good image with the same bloody thing," wasn't exactly a detached observation that gave BMF the benefit of the doubt. Try saying "Hi there, I'm curious about why BMF replaced the image Chpexo uploaded? I did a a side-by-side comparison and they both seem to have the same colour palette," next time. Statements like "It saddens me to see this side of you," come off as rude, extremely smug, and just fuel the fire. If you want to keep using this wiki, please respect its members. Their attitudes reflect how you treat them. --GlitterBerri (talk) 04:20, 10 December 2013 (EST)

God dammit, I thought I wrote it better than that. And I just read my message above too. Did I really make myself look like that big of a dick? Jeeesus. I am in serious need of sleep right now. I'm just...I'm just gonna go get some sleep before I get myself into any more trouble. Ladies and gentlemen, this is your brain on sleep deprivation. Don't be like me and deprive yourself of sleep. Sorry BMF, for bein' a dick! Nighty night! 404: User Not Found ^(talk) 04:29, 10 December 2013 (EST)

Should probably let you know this

The Upload Wizard tool is borked :( I downloaded and installed Chrome (because I normally use Firefox) and it doesn't work on either browser. Same goes for IE.

Here's the errors that appeared in Chrome's debugging window:

(snip)

I did a little looking around and it seems there are other reports of this module not working. There's also other tools, one of which is called MsUpload. Just thought I'd let you know, because I ended up having to upload 100+ OGG files for the Team Fortress 2/Unused Sounds subpage one by one, due to the Upload Wizard not working. 404: User Not Found ^(talk) 17:20, 10 December 2013 (EST)

We're aware of the issue and are waiting on someone with backend access to upload the fix. --BMF54123 (talk) 17:23, 10 December 2013 (EST)

Ahh, good to know! I'd help fix it, but I'm not good with that particular coding language (sadfaec) 404: User Not Found ^(talk) 17:24, 10 December 2013 (EST)

URL

Because I added another link to SmashWiki in the unused bonuses section and having two is of kind of useless... did I do something wrong, again? For my knowledge, if the name of a game is multiple times in a page of another game, you only add a link to it the first time it is mentioned, right? TempleofDreams (talk) 18:32, 13 December 2013 (EST)

I don't really mind if multiple source tags link to the same website. For things like game links, yes, only one link is usually needed. --BMF54123 (talk) 18:34, 13 December 2013 (EST)

Bad DS emulation

The emulator they are using is DeSmuME - with the 3D renderer set to 'SoftRasterizer' which has scaling issues. 'OpenGL' does not. I noted this on the help page for emulator screenshots a while ago. That page is buried a bit, so not many people may be reading it.--Hiccup (talk) 06:20, 1 January 2014 (EST)

Hey BMF54123
