Error

Hi, I did an error with this file: http://www.imfdb.org/wiki/File:Mabuse_dreyse_00.jpg The preview image in the article is wrong but when you click on it, it displays the right image. Please look into this. Thank you. --Wicket1138 (talk) 18:29, 18 October 2012 (EDT)

I want to keep the one with the desk. Thx. --Wicket1138 (talk) 18:44, 18 October 2012 (EDT)

Heya

You want me to archive your talk page? Also, what do you think of the work I've been doing on that other Goldeneye? It's amazing how much of the stuff on the page before was either totally wrong or only true of one version or the other. Evil Tim 09:56, 14 August 2012 (CDT)

Eh, 90 subsections is a pretty big page. I think most of the grief was because people claimed the original was next-gen graphics when actually it looks a lot like Black running on PS2. My current device is a Hauppage! (yes, with the exclaimation) HD-PVR, using component leads for input; it's completely useless for composite, mind, so I've still got my Pinnacle Dazzle if I need to record anything PS2 or earlier. It can theoretically record 1080p but it looks like ass in motion to stop you using it to copy blu-ray discs, so it's best to leave it on 720. The Hauppage one also has the advantage that it's actually designed for recording games and so has component video pass-through, so you don't have to build a snake's nest of wires and splitters to play without recording lag. Evil Tim 10:12, 14 August 2012 (CDT)
Actually I just realised the most ridiculous thing about that game: they forgot to make Dam a flashback and just have the story carry straight on after it. So Alec manages to set up the entire Janus organisation and builds a massive power station in roughly one day.Evil Tim 01:06, 15 August 2012 (CDT)
Well, it's not like EA didn't try that too (and unlike GoldenEye: Rogue Agent Activision's game actually has something to do with the original movie), it's just they tried to bring it up to date in a way that makes no actual sense. I guess it's because it was written by a Hollywood screenwriter who wasn't used to the games industry's alarming tendency to accept first script drafts (the co-writer of the original movie script, apparently) because it has all the signs of a script which hasn't had enough editorial work done on it; from the aformentioned turbo-terrorism to forgetting to give Alec the scar the entire Janus group is named after to Ourumov stealing an EMP-hardened helicopter when he already has one. Evil Tim 08:54, 15 August 2012 (CDT)

KillerUzi

Eh, he's not going to magically become a decent human being in six months, I've made it infinite. Evil Tim 20:23, 16 August 2012 (CDT)

And it turns out all of the were Liam. Fancy that. Evil Tim 08:23, 17 August 2012 (CDT)
Yeah, but he remembers that whole "Jamal pick my cotton" thing from back when Liam went nuts and started e-stalking Excalibur after the Killzone page was deleted. He's insulting Zackmann for giving him a new account after we banned the other two last night and that one he used earlier. Evil Tim 08:42, 17 August 2012 (CDT)
Naw, I think it's just the same guy it always was. Liam always made useless pages, that's why he was banned originally. So he loses two accounts he's "contributing" with, digs out an old one he remembered the password for, then has to register a new one. Insulting Zachmann is because he totally beat us by being mildly inconveniant for a few minutes.
I've modded a site with about ten thousand active members (not saying which :D), and I can tell you for free: people do get this weird and obsessive about having a right to be there even though all they do is make a mess when they actually have that "right." We had one guy posting spam dozens of accounts a day for hours at a time, for most of a year. Evil Tim 08:59, 17 August 2012 (CDT)
Anyway, I have to go to sleep now, so keep an eye out. Evil Tim 09:09, 17 August 2012 (CDT)
I think the most likely answer is that Gunner95 isn't the same guy, and is just a completely different idiot (it's not like the world is experiencing a shortage) with the similarities being coincidental. Or it's just one of his many personalities. Either way, I wouldn't bother unbanning Gunner95 to find out. In other news, playing GoldenEye I've realised the most ridiculous firearm-related thing is that Bond has to draw his weapon when breaching doors. So, um, he holsters his weapon, kicks open a door to a room full of armed men, and then tries to pull it back out. And with anything but a pistol does it so slowly that the bad guys are already shooting at him by the time he can fire.
I just get the image of the guards standing there looking embarassed for him as Daniel Craig bursts in dramatically and starts struggling with a carry strap tangled around his arm or something. Anyway, off to bed. Evil Tim 09:25, 17 August 2012 (CDT)

Spam

So spam has dramatically decreased lately as a result of the new system put in place by Bunni but we still have the occasional jerk who gets through. For future reference, if anyone does start doing stuff like our pal Weston1911 did, will you message me? I am compiling a "blacklist" that includes the e-mail and IP the user used when they registered. It will help prevent them from registering in the future. Thanks man! --Zackmann08 10:33, 17 August 2012 (CDT)

Ok. Explain something to me... WTF is CloudFare?!?!?! I keep seeing that with IP addresses on the forum! --Zackmann08 10:39, 17 August 2012 (CDT)
Gotcha. I just don't get how a user gets an IP address from CloudFare and not from their own computer... Weirdddd --Zackmann08 10:55, 17 August 2012 (CDT)

BAHAHAHAHAH!!! That Biography reads like it was written by a third grader... LOVE IT! I can't believe this is the same brat who kept trying to make a page for "The House on Creepy Lane".... UGHHHH. Thanks for the info. --Zackmann08 22:41, 18 August 2012 (CDT)

No kidding... --Zackmann08 23:59, 18 August 2012 (CDT)

You were right to ban that ten year old

Brilliant detective work. I think there should be a LOWER age limit. "Violent Shit"? "The House on Creepy Lane?" How on earth did this kid get his short films listed on IMDB?? The mods must have been asleep that day. Wasn't there a link to a film that was basically RUSSIAN elementary school kids acting some sort of story with airsoft guns? I wonder if you remember that. best regards MoviePropMaster2008 01:13, 19 August 2012 (CDT)

Even though Violent Shit and Zombie Panic 90 were purportedly full length features, there is NO WAY a feature length film made by a 10 year old would qualify under our current criteria. It would be near impossible. It would have to be distributed by someone OTHER than the film's maker and there is no way a 10 year old could make something that was deemed professional enough to merit inclusion. My comment about the lower age limit, was just sarcasm. I agree that it would be hard to enforce. We just have to be wary of any new member that seems really young. At least this guy was honest about his age. The fact that he was born AFTER 9/11 means he has never known a world without Usama Bin Laden and his ilk MoviePropMaster2008
BTW, there is a restriction in Privacy policy: "Our site is not directed to children under the age of 13". So any membership of 10 years old (regardless of his behavior) is a violation of rules, right? Greg-Z 12:41, 19 August 2012 (CDT)
Hmmmmm. Good catch Greg-Z. I am certainly intrigued by this idea. Also to Funkychinaman, Thanks for the update. I didn't know what these movies were, and I'm not ashamed to say I've never seen them (which is saying a lot). There are a lot of films distributed by low rent direct to video types (like Sub Rosa) which I'm not thrilled to include. BTW, Funkychinaman do you remember the link to the movie in the snow with the assault rifles made by the Bulgarian kids? I was laughing so hard when I saw that, and then it was gone.... 15:18, 20 August 2012 (CDT)

Under 13s

It's a legal thing, if I recall correctly; below a certain age a site effectively has a requirement to babysit users, which is why most sites which have account registration won't take accounts by anyone under 12 (most TOSes have a clause like that). Evil Tim 12:58, 19 August 2012 (CDT)

I'd ask Bunni, he's the one who'd be dealing with any legal issues after all. Evil Tim 13:01, 19 August 2012 (CDT)

Expendables 2: Videogame

My bad. Thanks for correcting my mistake. --Zackmann08 16:22, 19 August 2012 (CDT)

The Democratic Terrorist

Hi Funkychinaman! I've now uploaded some quite good quality pictures of the gun used by Monica in TDT (DDT). I still honestly can't say if it's a PPK, that I belived before, and do a bit now to, or a SIG-Sauer P230. I've also uploaded two new pictures of a P230 on it's discussion page, it's the two latter ones, they are blued. On those pictures an older SIG is pressented and that might be what Monica's gun is, based on the slide serrations. But please look and think for you're self, as two minds is better than one! (Thejoker)

Re DDT

I totally forgot that she had the same pistol in the final scene. And for the record, I only used the stainless pistols because at the time, those were the only pair of PP and P230 images that pointed to the right. --Funkychinaman 18:33, 19 August 2012 (CDT)

Well do you still think its a SIG-Sauer P230 and not a Walther PPK? If you do I think so I think we should go with it on the page. Thejoker 18:53, 19 August 2012 (CDT)

Heroes & Generals

I have the key to the Beta Test. I play this game for 2 weeks.--MTOOO 06:30, 22 August 2012 (CDT) :)

This game is really good. I would recommend in the future.--MTOOO 06:49, 22 August 2012 (CDT)

S&W M1

The funny thing was I was about to post the same thing on your Discussion page... --Zackmann08 10:36, 24 August 2012 (CDT)

"Go Tell the Spartans" Mauser identification.

In the first pic the Old Man is definitely holding a Gewehr 98. It sill has the large Lange-Visier rear sight and the bolt handle is at the rear of the receiver, rather than in the middle as on the M71/84. The second pic could be a M71/84; the front sight looks right and the stock appears to contain a tubular magazine. The third pic looks like a Mosin-Nagant 91/30, with the long spacing between the two barrel bands and what looks like the "dog collar" sling loops going through the stock. It might also be a Lebel 1886, but the stock bulging downward as it nears the receiver makes me think Mosin. I think these are probably continuity errors. I really wish we could see the receiver better. I hope this helps.

Thanks for help!

Once again I want to thank you for help. When I have problems with identification, your help is very valuable. Greg-Z 01:16, 28 August 2012 (CDT)

Re: Update

Yes. I had totally forgot about the existence of the page. I still got the screencaps on my PC. But it'll take some time to get it done, I've got a couple of pages on queue right now, and I'm currently on leave from the army. Altough, I'm going back today, our leisure time is limited. I'll do my best to get it finished soon. Best Regards, --Warejaws 08:17, 28 August 2012 (CDT)

'Redirects in 'Elephant White'

Hi, sorry to get back to you so late but I don't have the luxury to check/edit IMFDB on a very regular basis. On my TalkPage you said you put 'redirects' in the page for Elephant White that I created, and asked me to do the same. Stupid question maybe, but what exactly do you mean here? Pardon my ignorance but I value your experience on these matters, --PeeWee055 15:27, 29 August 2012 (CDT)

RE:Beat me to it.

I think this guy needs to be kept an eye on, as that Italian he used is suspiciously exactly what comes out of Google translate if you put in the English text so I have a slight suspicion it may be someone pretending to be Italian just to mess stuff up. --commando552 (talk) 12:38, 27 September 2012 (EDT)

Graphic screen

What is "graphic screencaps"? "The back of someone's head blowing out would certainly qualify as graphic." - this sentence is not a compiler able to translate clearly. It sounds as " some of blowing the nape of the head".--Pandolfini (talk) 14:46, 18 October 2012 (EDT)Oh - you mean Peter Coyot!

My way of typing.

My apologies, but I type this way to save time. ESPECIALLY when I'm doing something that requires more time than usual. E.G: playing at the final level of a video game thats the toughest than all the other levels. (I usually have a hard time beating levels at the climax of games). People on YouTube do this all the time.--Gunnerboy (talk) 20:43, 18 October 2012 (EDT)

The Border

I lost most of my movies including "The Border" recently so I got nothing to get screens from. And noone else is interested so I guess its fair enough to delete the article. If I find a HD quality of the movie I'll take and post screens to the article. Dudster32 (talk) 16:59, 7 November 2012 (EST)

Farscape

Hello, I wanted to start the article about the TV series Farscape. When I tried to create this article I got the following warning: "Warning: You are recreating a page that was previously deleted. BEFORE you recreate this page, please check with an ADMIN and make sure you understand WHY the page was deleted. Recreating a page that was deleted by simply placing the same text is forbidden and can result in being banned from editing on the wiki." -Wicket1138 (talk) 22:13, 15 November 2012 (EST)

Thx for your reply. Yes, there are real firearms in Farscape. They used Australian made L1A1 rifles for alien soldiers in one episode, which also have two real armored cars the Australian forces use and several episodes are actually set on earth where they have real firearms. -Wicket1138 (talk) 01:49, 16 November 2012 (EST)

Monika's Gun

Sorry if I can't let it go but I still think Monika's gun in The Democratic Terrorist is a Walther PPK, I've added my observations and explanations to the talk page so will you please read them and look at it and tell me what you think about it. Thejoker (talk) 16:28, 11 December 2012 (EST)

Well about the Walther P5, if you look closely on that screencap you might see that the front of that gun appear to have the same shape as that of a P5, sort of like a triangular shape up to the barrel. Don't you agree? I'm interested in what you think. Also have you read the new stuff I wrote about Monika's pistol on the talk page with the pictures and explanations of why I see it as a PPK, what do you think about it? Thejoker (talk) 18:57, 11 December 2012 (EST)
Now I have put up variants of the pictures that point out the details of the gun/guns in the pictures with colored lines, I hope you can spot them now. It's furthest down on the entry "Monika's Pistol". Do you see it now? Thejoker (talk) 20:46, 11 December 2012 (EST)
Can you see the details I pointed out in the new photos with Monika's guns? Thejoker (talk) 16:16, 12 December 2012 (EST)


Okey, yea outside opinions are probably a good thing, well tell me when you've got their opinion. Thejoker (talk) 05:06, 13 December 2012 (EST)


I haven't thought about it or seen it before and I CAN'T say that a can definatly see it now, but if I watch closely on this picture there might be an allusion to a safety/decocker on the slide there, but I'm not shure because the image isn't clear/sharp enough.
Have you heard any outside opinins yet? What does other people think? Thejoker (talk) 11:37, 17 December 2012 (EST)

Too Soon?

As seen in the recent changes page Im preparing to make a page for the movie "Higher Learning". While the film has themes of neo-nazism, and the like (which several other movies on the site have) there is a scene where a school shooting takes place. I was wondering if the page should be held off for a while due to the tragedy in Connecticut since some might say it would be too soon for a page with a similar event. I will still upload photos but if it is decided that it is too soon then I will save the progress I have made into notepad and make the page at a later date.Mr.Ice (talk) 22:27, 16 December 2012 (EST)

Spambots

I'm not sure if this is what they try to do, but always blank the "content was..." section of the edit summary so it doesn't re-post their link in recent changes. Evil Tim (talk) 02:59, 18 December 2012 (EST)

RE: Red Heat

I do understand the weapon was discussed on the Red Heat discussion page but clearly the gun is not a S&W 66 its not even a .357!

RE: Incomplete

I would love to complete Razorback and The Collector. However, I do not own copies of them. I will try to obtain copies eventually, but I need to start saving money as I am going to be starting my second semester of my freshman year of college in January.

Blackthorn, I pretty much got everything I.D.'d, except for the unknowns. I believe the Bolivian boy is using a Colt 1878 Double Action, and the other revolver is a Colt Lightning. And the Bolivian Army's rifle is, I am assuming, the vz. 24 rifle or FN Model 1924 short rifle. But I don't really want to speculate as the article's screencaps are the best ones I got. And I do not want to go and, pardon my French, "half-ass" it by just putting up a firearm that looks like a "close enough match", and wait for a more knowledgable user to go and update the page for me.

I'll go and make the changes though. - User:1morey December 26, 2012 8:23 PM (EST)

Legend of the Fist: The Return of Chen Zhen - Mauser Identification

Wow, this is a tough one to ID. It appears to be a Chinese M1907 Mauser. These were originally chambered in a proprietary 6.8x58mm Chinese cartridge. These rifles were manufactured in Germany and China. When WW1 broke out the Germans seized all M1907 rifles still in the country and re-barrelled them for 7.9x57mm Mauser.--Stomper (talk) 15:08, 30 December 2012 (EST)

To be honest I wouldn't mind adding a little section at the end of actor pages just to list other works they've contributed to for the sake of completeness and giving full credit; IIRC the rule exists to stop, say, an actor list getting clogged with every weapon in an FPS even though the actor probably never handled any of them (same with mocap where the weapons are usually plastic replicas (Uncharted III) or crude frames (Battlefield 3)), but I don't think a little "name of work" - "role" - "character" table would be a terrible thing to have (eg Chow Yun-Fat would have Stranglehold - Voice acting, motion capture - Inspector "Tequila" Yuen).
