Hi. I have played the PC version and is was flawless. This game is definitely not like Final Fantasy. There is not much RPG-stuff in it, you get XP for killing dudes and completing missions, you can select special abilities called "augmentations". It kinda reminds me of BioShock, although you have a really small inventory which makes the game even harder and more challenging. The game is 80% action (or stealth, depends on how you play) and 20% RPG, which involves buying/selling stuff, hacking door/computers, choosing new abilities and a little conversation with NPC's. DE:HR is definitely a masterpiece, it is the "Inception" of video games. Hope this helped. - [[User:Bozitojugg3rn4ut|bozitojugg3rn4ut]] 04:53, 11 October 2011 (CDT) | |||

Re: Nothing But Trouble
Appreciate some of your posts on there, I've given ya a special mention on the 'Talk' section for that page. Anything that improves what I could have only hoped to be a decently acceptable first page. I was surprised to not see it on the site though, I enjoy the film quite a bit.

Screencapping
Just wondering how you are screencapping your movies? Are you just using a screengrab off your monitor? You may want to use VLC player to get better results. Also, don't forget to cut off the black bars and make sure your aspect ratio is set to 16:9 widescreen. --Ben41 10:51, 3 February 2010 (UTC)
Hmmm... you're right. I'm gonna use the VLC player from now on... and cut the black bars properly.. Warejaws 12:31, 3 February 2010 (UTC)
BTW: good job on the Already dead page, but ...
In the IMFDB rules, you don't hyperlink the gun titles, but put it in the body of the description. Just a reminder. Thanks. MoviePropMaster2008 22:25, 4 March 2010 (UTC)
BTW, PNGS are not allowed
BTW, on Feast all the screenshots uploaded were PNG files. Sorry, but only Jpegs are allowed (check the rules). PNG images will be deleted/replaced. If you have any difficulty converting them, please let us know. MoviePropMaster2008 09:07, 7 May 2010 (UTC)
Hi
Hi--Mpe2010 20:42, 3 October 2010 (UTC)
Sorry but i am not Finnish. I am from Wyoming, USA and am doing fine. I have pretty limited experience with handguns but i like most Rugers, Berettas, and i sort of like glocks. My favorite handgun round is either 9mm or .40.--Mpe2010 20:43, 4 October 2010 (UTC)
I have had a very limited experience with 1911s. I believe i have only shot one once. I would like to own one someday, if only they were not so darn expensive.
Okay some RULES for the I Robot page
If you replace my screencaps, they must adhere to the rules. No PNGS, no Black Bars, they MUST be better quality or away they go. I recommend the same frame or similar frames, but if you get a better angle, by all means do it. DON'T dump tons of questionable screenshots in the same section. I am NOT one of those members who like tons of screencaps on a section unless there are reasons for it. Multiple shots ONLY if you get better angles on the gun or showcase different characters firing or holding the gun. Or if there is a continuity break. Thanks. I look forward to seeing your edits. Per Stantheman's comments, I will do a little cleanup on the alignments. MoviePropMaster2008 03:05, 18 October 2010 (UTC)
Adding films for feature article ( I Robot)
When adding films for the front page featured article, make sure you rewrite the captions for the screenshots indicating what weapon was used and in what movie. For examples, take a look at the Template_talk:FeaturedArticle page. --Ben41 01:23, 20 November 2010 (UTC)
A-Team 2010
I don't where you got these caps from, but the DVD is not out until Dec. 11, 2010, so please do NOT put these up on the page or they will be deleted. --Ben41 00:44, 30 November 2010 (UTC)
The A-Team screencaps
Thanks for the heads up. We technically don't have to delete them, but I'm kinda torn on this. Ben41 is erring on the side of caution. But you can ask him not to delete them. I surely won't delete anything. I have no problem making them invisible until the official release date. But Ben41 may have a point. If any studio lawyer looks at the page and SEES the date of the uploading of the image and it is weeks before the U.S. release date (and we are a U.S. based site) he might get all annoyed at us. They may not think or care about other countries' release dates. I think the only time we allow that is if the movie was NEVER released in the U.S. But that is rare. I think that is the reason other Mods desire to be safe and delete stuff. If that is a concern for other Mods, I cannot argue with that logic. Keep the files safe on your Hard drive and then we can fix up the page after the U.S> release date. :) MoviePropMaster2008 01:31, 30 November 2010 (UTC)
Your uploads are still there, so you can use them for the page. --Ben41 12:24, 14 December 2010 (UTC)
The Way of the Gun
Great pics! Could you up-load this shot in Blu-Ray? You can see in the Series 70 rollmarks on the Blu-Ray version. Thanks.--Predator20 20:56, 30 November 2010 (UTC)
No.. no those pics look great! I have it on Blu-Ray now but had no way to cap it. So the screencaps I added were from the regular dvd. Need to add it to the feature article now. --Predator20 21:06, 30 November 2010 (UTC)
From Dusk till Dawn
God man you're going to redo all my images. I'm glad you did on From Dusk till Dawn. :) The 1911 used Tarantino had me stumped on the manufacturer, despite close ups I never could tell because of the image quality. But when you re-uploaded this one I was able to figure it out. --Predator20 23:59, 29 December 2010 (UTC)
- I had planned on redoing all the shotgun screenshots when I redid the others, but got distracted and went on to something else. So no biggie now that you're doing them. Tarantino often ends up going with the lower end 1911s, he used a Rock Island in Planet Terror. From what I read those Norinco's are said to great copies. They used extremely hard steel. --Predator20 00:23, 30 December 2010 (UTC)
- I didn't think to look where you're from. I guess where you're at you have slim pickens when it comes to firearm choice. They think we're crazy here too for owning a gun or wanting to. I personally haven't handled a Norinco, they got banned from importation just after a few years. They come up for sale every so often usually the $500 range. --Predator20 01:07, 30 December 2010 (UTC)
re: delete
Done but next time give them to me like this otherwise I have to some copying and pasting. http://www.imfdb.org/index.php/Image:007_Phantom.png --Predator20 20:03, 8 January 2011 (UTC)
RE: screencaping
I usually screencap with SnagIt, but now I use Snipping Tool, a software that comes with Window 7. I use Window Media Player to play most of my movies and sometimes KMPlayer if I want to play HD content. I mostly screencap from DVDs unless I have a Blu-Ray or HD digital copy (only available with Blu-Ray dvds). Sometimes, Window Media Player ruins my screencaping so I use KMPlayer. For HD stuff, I use the KMPlayer and leave it unmodified. Also, the way to screencap depends on the program you use. - Kenny99 21:06, 8 January 2011 (UTC)
- I dragged the sides of the media player I'm using to make it larger. The reason why I use other players rather than a VLC is because the VLC usually goes blank even though the file I open up is DVD file. - Kenny99 21:29, 8 January 2011 (UTC)
- Thanks for the help. - Kenny99 21:47, 8 January 2011 (UTC)
Screencapping 2
What are you using to screencap your films? Your recent Machete file looks a bit blocky. You may want to try Fast Stone Image Viewer. --Ben41
I've found that VLC screencaps saved directly as JPG's tend to be of inferior quality. That's why I save them as PNG's first and then convert them with Fast Stone to JPG. As for tweaking the image, you can do that in VLC by clicking on "Tools", going to "Effects and Filters", then to "Video Effects". Image Adjust should allow you to adjust the image.
--Ben41 07:42, 31 January 2011 (UTC)
Your screencaps do look a lot better. As for deletions, just let me know which ones. --Ben41 08:29, 10 February 2011 (UTC)
I've deleted screenshots for Takers.
Thanks for informing me and they've been deleted. --Ben41 19:38, 14 February 2011 (UTC)
Killshot 1911s
It looks like they used three different 1911s. Because your screenshots are so good, the slide markings are easy to read. The third screencap I'm not 100% sure though. --Predator20 23:44, 27 February 2011 (UTC)
KS Synthetic stock 870
It could be a Smith & Wesson 3000 Shotgun, they are a close copy of the Rem 870. But the forend style and that fact that it doesn't overlap the barrel loop behind the mag tube. Makes me think it's a Smith. It could be an aftermarket forend. But I've only seen that particular style on the Smiths.
Also pointing out Rourke's chicken wing stance, when generally try not to do that anymore.--Predator20 18:40, 2 March 2011 (UTC)
- Winchester 1300 while the forend matches, look at the trigger guard. Winchester is more squared.--Predator20 19:30, 2 March 2011 (UTC)
Dark Blue
Great work on the page! It's really shaping up. The unknown 1911, I would just put in the Colt Government section. While it's your page since you're doing most of the work. Generally I put the main actors standard sidearms first. Since that's what most people will be curious about when checking out the page.--Predator20 17:05, 14 April 2011 (CDT)
The Feast
It appears they have a continuity error, with the shotgun used. The shotgun used by Eric Dane is an 870. But the one used by I guess it's his wife, the trigger guard and furniture is different. The trigger guard resembles the Winchester 1200/1300 the most, but the pin locations on the receiver are different. --Predator20 07:43, 15 April 2011 (CDT)
- While the pin location matches Remington, the actual pins don't look like Remington's (I guess they could be swapped) The serial number style isn't Remington either. (I have two 870s, but no Winchesters or any others to compare them with.) It could be a foreign made shotgun. A lot of times they are kind of a mix of several American shotguns. I'll look at the older versions of the page and see if I can delete the pngs that way. --Predator20 16:38, 19 April 2011 (CDT)
- No biggie man. Yeah some more screenshots would help narrow it down. It could be some sort of 870 copy. Post the images on the Feast talk page maybe someone figure it out. --Predator20 21:13, 16 June 2011 (CDT)
killer elite
Sorry about that. Just too cool to pass up. Glad they used the 92SB instead of 92F since it takes place in the early 1980's. --Ben41 22:03, 27 June 2011 (CDT)
Takers
I know the gun that Paul Walker uses in Takers. It is a Wilson Combat Professional Compact BTW:Iknow this because the Wilson Combat symbol is on the grips and the reverse two tone is not avalible for any other 1911 commander
Thanks.An image of the gun is on WA Gunnet 1911 Tactical series page 2 second gun.Get back to me when you find the image I will keep up the good work. MovieMaster out.
By the way you spelled Wilson wrong on the gun name. it is W-I-L-S-O-N.No offense.MovieMaster out.

And now you know. --Funkychinaman 20:13, 12 July 2011 (CDT)
- Dude, relax. You said you didn't know, and I provided the info, that's all. I had this conversation with Evil Tim a few days ago, and my general gist is, we should put in what's correct, period. And besides, no one can truly say what a "Average Joe" know or not, it's all subjective. But if it's right, it's right. If you want to write it out, then go ahead, but if you want to abbreviate it, then we should do it correctly, that's all. --Funkychinaman 22:34, 12 July 2011 (CDT)
The Big Bang
Great work on the page! I just got through watching it. I didn't know about the film until I saw the trailer to it on another dvd I had rented. I'm pretty sure the 1911 Antonio uses is a Series 80, like in the opening credit sequence. Feel free to upload over it if you still have the film.--Predator20 18:31, 15 July 2011 (CDT)
Heat
In the future, please check the pictures you're replacing before uploading them. Some of the pictures you're replacing were already from the Blu-ray. --Ben41 17:38, 29 August 2011 (CDT)
I'm just trying to save you some time and effort. It's just better to know in the future, if you're going to do a major revamp on a major page like that (especially one that's already had Blu-ray caps on it), that you put a heads up on the discussion page.

I don't didn't go straight to an admin and I didn't think you were trying vandalize imfdb! I saw you do it a couple of times and I just asked you why you were doing it, I didn't rat on you! - Mr. Wolf 13:10, 11 September 2011 (CDT)
RE: a little help
You got me. Maybe a Browning M2 mocked up into a DShK? --Predator20 09:22, 12 September 2011 (CDT)
a request
Could you grab an additional screenshot of this with no muzzle flash? I want to get a good look at the front of the barrel. Thanks. Or if there's better shot showing the front of the barrel, that would be fine. --Predator20 17:49, 12 September 2011 (CDT)
- Thanks, that's perfect. Yes, MPM has access to four cut down models. The ones in The Punisher (2004), Red Dragon, Vampires don't have the barrel cut flush with the ribbing. So it would match the most and likely be the actual screen used gun. --Predator20 18:17, 12 September 2011 (CDT)
AIM photo
I'm aware that there are issues with slow updates, but according to the dimensions, you're going from 600x301 to 595x194. That's going from 2:1 to 3:1. --Funkychinaman 18:30, 14 September 2011 (CDT)
- Warejaws, it doesn't update. I've watched one of these for over a day before, it seems that the server doesn't like image changes but it really doesn't like resolution changes. Evil Tim 19:14, 14 September 2011 (CDT)
- It's updated now. I take it you just cropped out some of the white border. I thought you had just readjusted the levels. That would explain the new aspect ratio. Sorry about that. --Funkychinaman 19:18, 14 September 2011 (CDT)
- That's odd, it's still distorted for me. Evil Tim 19:21, 14 September 2011 (CDT)
- It's updated now. I take it you just cropped out some of the white border. I thought you had just readjusted the levels. That would explain the new aspect ratio. Sorry about that. --Funkychinaman 19:18, 14 September 2011 (CDT)
Fast Five
According to Rules, Standards and Principles, the American release date takes precedence, so please wait until Oct.4. --Ben41 00:52, 30 September 2011 (CDT)
another request
Do you still have the film Thursday? There's a close up shot of the nickel 1911 used by Chris Plummer. Thomas Jane eyes on it the table just before Plummer's character gives him the first tape to play. Around 22:52 on my dvd counter. I'm pretty sure it's a Norinco 1911 judging by the rollmark style but it's kind of out of focus. It's rollmark position is similar to the original WWI 1911's (on the front of the frames dust cover) but the 1911 used in the film has the relief cuts on the frame making it an 1911A1. Thanks.--Predator20 22:30, 8 October 2011 (CDT)
- No biggie on the screencap or getting back to me. I just happened to be watching it the other day and saw that close-up.--Predator20 19:09, 10 October 2011 (CDT)
