Editing User talk:Bop1996

{{Hello|Bop1996|}}

Hello, you have reached my talk page. I don't think I'll need this for much at the moment, but because I am trying to become more active, I figured I'd put something here. I am a Mario Wiki patroller, so if you have a problem with interwiki stuffs on MetroidWiki/MarioWiki, I can either deal with the problem or get in contact with someone better equipped to deal with the situation than I. As of October 15, 2011, I'm able to upload YT ripped images for the Prime Trilogy and Super Metroid, so I'll field image requests there.

:Oh yeah, heard about that this morning. It's best for parents to make those decisions, not the government. Now about Tingle, there should be a separate law concerning him... {{User:Bop1996/sig}} 18:41, 27 June 2011 (UTC)

:::It's even worse in the Wind Waker; he is integral to translating maps needed to finish the game. Of course he charges 398 rupees. I don't know if you have reached the first dungeon, but the good old dungeon map is in the dungeons, thank goodness. I'd really rather face some harder than normal enemy than Tingle...

I really don't understand why Tingle has a series, but there's no way in Hyrule I'm going to play it. If Tingle was Miyamoto's idea, I'm never going to understand what goes through that guy's head (though without him, Samus wouldn't have the visor system used in the ''Prime'' games).

== I promise that the next conversation I initiate will be productive.... ==

Anyway, I thought this little story was worth sharing. I've recently been considering [http://www.amazon.com/12-Hole-Ocarina-Legend-Zelda/dp/B0018GR9VI/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1309811380&sr=8-1 venturing into unknown territory]. Shortly before falling asleep last night, I hummed the Song of Storms (stuck in my head along with the Song of Time for hours previously). I ended up having a most peculiar nightmare. In it, I received the subject of the link in the mail. The sky was black, it was pouring rain, lightning struck every five seconds, and for some reason, the howling wind sounded like the [http://metroid.retropixel.net/mprime2/music/mp201.mp3 ''Echoes'' title theme] (I was also the only person who seemed calm, odd considering that a tornado was heading my way).

:Wow. I must say, you've bested me in being addicted to Nintendo in this facet; I never dreamed about Nintendo (although if I ever attempt hardcore speedruns low% on Prime 2, I might get there). Oddly enough, while OoT is the one that that sort of stuff always happens with, I hold by my opinion that Majora's Mask is really a better game (just was misunderstood for a while). I can't really call it underrated now, because so many people have said it that they finally give it the credit it deserves. I put the game up for now due to the total epicness of Chrono Trigger (not made by Nintendo, but it was exclusive to the SNES). Idk, I have such a hard time with so many great games I haven't played yet on my shelf or a Wii channel for... Listen to me ramble again :)... {{User:Bop1996/sig}} 01:17, 8 July 2011 (UTC)
::Lol, I think it's got less to do with Nintendo (though I am addicted) and more to do with a very strong desire for what would be the first instrument I've ever played/owned (excluding a plastic recorder seven or so years ago). I also think I'll share your opinion on MM (I'm on the Spirit Temple in OoT Master Quest, so I should pick MM up again soon). There are a ton of games I've been neglecting as well, notably ALttP and DKC. As for Chrono Trigger, never played it and might get it off VC eventually, though all I know about it is the hero's name is Chrono, and he [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LPcokm518l4 fights a guy named Magus].

:::Hmm, I took up the trumpet a few years ago, and my teacher is the single most finicky teacher in history. In spite of that (or is it because of that?), he manages to be witty and dry, thus making him a great teacher... Never thought of playing a flute or anything like that (one of my friends plays trombone, he tried to play a clarinet and failed). Twinrova will most likely dish out major pain to you (although I had little trouble dodging her attacks)... And then you've got Ganon's Castle, that'll be real fun. GameFAQs allows users to make gaming related top ten lists. One user has gone to 15 different forums and asked for votes on the best game of all time. Chrono Trigger has been on 12 of those lists, been in the top 5 eight or so times, and won top place two or three times, and has been nominated for every list. OoT has made 9 of those lists, has taken top spot once, been in the top five 6 times, and been nominated for all of them (some games just get nominated every single time, like FFVII, OoT, Chrono Trigger, etc.). That's just it's legacy, the actual game is no less fantastic. It's only got seven party members, but the Dual and Triple tech system makes any combination worth trying. Magus was the most epic boss I had ever fought, he knocked out two of my party members at one point. I'm actually right about to beat the game, or at least the final boss, but the game has 13 endings, so I have to go back and get the rest. Btw, Crono isn't really the best character in the game (or he wasn't until I got his ultimate weapon), but I keep him in there anyway just because. {{User:Bop1996/sig}} 12:55, 8 July 2011 (UTC)

== Cite Manga ==

I removed the external link to [[Template:Cite manga]]. I hadn't realized it earlier, but after a certain point, the pages on the manga and the url don't match, to it wouldn't be practical to keep it there. So pretty much, you can use multiple pages and speakers or whatever now, just do something like "19-20" in the page parameter. {{:User:Malake256/sig}} 22:15, 10 July 2011 (UTC)
:Alright, although I really liked linking there, I'm kinda glad to have the actual referencing made easier. We'll probably have scans of the more important pages uploaded to here anyway, right? {{User:Bop1996/sig}} 00:29, 11 July 2011 (UTC)
::Right! We can upload those important ones lik [[:File:Hornoad taken over by X.jpg|X taking over Hornoad]]. But since this is Metroid Wiki, where images tend to be awesome, [[:File:Rodney Aran Manga.png|cropping them out]] turns out really well :] I liked the linking too, but it's not so practical it seems. We can't upload the whole manga though, we'd need permission from SnoopyCool, the guys who translated it. {{:User:Malake256/sig}} 02:10, 11 July 2011 (UTC)
:::Lol, the cropped images have the Malake seal of awesomeness :)... If I upload an image, would you be able to crop it, because I don't have any editing tools (my laptop is really finicky, so I don't download any software anymore). {{User:Bop1996/sig}} 20:43, 11 July 2011 (UTC)

== Prime Trilogy Screenshots ==
I happened to notice on your user page that you said you were going to unlock the screenshot tool for Metroid Prime Trilogy. If you needed the friend credits, which MUST be sent from another wii, i could give them to you. You should be aware though, that tool sends them to the wii message board, and they cannot be currently uploaded in any known form, which is stupid. --[[User:Nintendbob|Nintendbob]] 21:05, 11 July 2011 (UTC)
:You can't put them on an SD card? I assumed that I'd be able to do at least that... I was planning on using the infinite friend credit glitch to get my credits, but I'll contact you if I need credits, thanks :) {{User:Bop1996/sig}} 21:09, 11 July 2011 (UTC)
::Yeah, Nintendo decided that no one is ever going to get screenshots of their games unless you want to buy some special adapter for your computer or use an emulator. --[[User:Nintendbob|Nintendbob]] 21:30, 11 July 2011 (UTC)
:::I thought that you could put photos from the Photo Channel on an SD card... If you can put photos from an SD card on a Wii Console, you would theoretically be able to do it the other way around... I need to test it somehow, unless you tested it that way. {{User:Bop1996/sig}} 22:10, 11 July 2011 (UTC)
:::: Unfortunately, the Photo Channel cannot write to a SD card. The wii cannot email the picture anywhere but another wii. I have searched for a long time , and there is no way to transfer the photos without taking a picture of your tv. It is such a stupid way for them to do it, and unless they update it somehow (unlikely) there is no solution. --[[User:Nintendbob|Nintendbob]] 22:48, 11 July 2011 (UTC)
:::::That means that unless someone here has the complicated software to put those images on a computer, any screenshots I take would be useless here... I can still take screenshots of momentous accomplishments, assuming I ever achieve anything, but I'd be limited to sending it to other Wiis. Oh well, I can upload pages of Manga or something... {{User:Bop1996/sig}} 23:02, 11 July 2011 (UTC)

== Reply ==

Sounds like an interesting plan. If ''Trilogy'' was considered cheating, Nintendo wouldn't have made it. ;) Myself, I finally found 3DS eShop cards (I got two of them, so 40 dollars total), and I bought [[mariowiki: Donkey Kong (Game Boy)|''Donkey Kong'']] (currently in World 2), ''[[mariowiki:Super Mario Land|Super Mario Land]]'' (currently in World 3), [[zeldawiki:The Legend of Zelda: Link's Awakening DX|''Link's Awakening DX'']] (just finished the second dungeon) , and some DSiWare (a game based off of the ''House'' TV show (finished it), ''Cave Story'' (very addicting), a ''Castlevania'' clone called ''Soul of Darkness'' (finished it), and a platformer called ''Ten-Second Run'' (you have to get to the goal in each level within ten seconds)). Now I'm hoping for ''Metroid II'' (haven't played it, ''Fusion'', or ''Hunters'') or a ''Super Metroid'' remake. In other news, I go on the MarioWiki periodically, making edits where I see fit and voting on proposals I deem important, but the other day, following about a two-day period of absence, I log on and am alerted that I have new messages. Long story short, [[mariowiki:Special:ListUsers/autopatrolled|my edits are now autopatrolled]]. Dedication pays off, I suppose.

:Unfair or not, it certainly is useful. I probably should pick up MM (it's been neglected for far too long, and I am now depressed because I finished OoT Master Quest...oh well, [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g5dq9_1MFsc&feature=feedu this] cheered me up...I am such a nerd). I wasn't even aware Chrono Trigger was on the DS...it's probably cheaper just to get if off of the Wii VC (800 points, if memory serves, as it's an SNES game), but that in all likelihood is not going to happen until I finish ''Mario Party 2'', ''Mario 64'', DKC, ''Sonic the Hedgehog'', ''Star Fox 64'', ''Super Mario RPG'', ''Super Mario World'', and MM, of course (not necessarily in that order...on a side note, I also have ''World of Goo'', but that's not going to get done anytime soon). Thanks. I've actually thought the same about you when it comes to editing strategies; I have no doubt that your future at the wiki will run a similar course. Milestones that others strive for are inconsequential to me in relation to my devotion to the wiki (and this one, where I also think you'll do well), as I'll do whatever I have to in order to better both regardless of rank, but I would not be surprised if you and I became sysops one day, but enough about that...I'm sure that our thinking is similar as well. :) The fact that I became autopatrolled while offline is why it was such a surprise to me. Going to one's talk page and being congratulated is quite shocking if one has no idea why.

:::"Creepily genderless"...that's rich, and the fiasco certainly was enlightening. Just thought you'd like to know that I've stolen the bow in Link's Awakening. Normally, you have to save up 980 Rupees for it and buy it in a shop (no way I'm doing that), but if you just grab it and distract the shopkeeper momentarily, you can walk out the door before he sees you. It's hilarious but painful, as I found out when I went back in. He yells at me for not paying and actually shocks me to death ([http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uX8lKrQ0Z88&feature=related I think he's a Sith Lord]).

== Ingsmasher Missile Launchers ==

I've been trying to blow up an Ingsmasher Missile Launcher however while I do it, it also destroys the Ingsmasher. The exploding launcher does cause damage damage but I believe that the only reason that the Ingsmashers are destroyed is because of residual damage caused by missed shots. If you have a file near them, would you mind trying to blow one up in Trilogy? It's much tougher to manually aim in the GCN version, especially when you have something trying to kill you. {{:User:Metroidking/sig}} 19:25, 25 September 2011 (UTC)

:Well, I don't have an active save file currently, although I could probably get there fairly soon. I never attempted to do so either during any playthroughs as well. After I'm done with my current playthrough of Corruption, I'll start up Echoes and try and blow one up to see if I can manage it. Does it make any difference whether I try on a Dark Ingsmasher instead? It'd probably be easier to blow one up on Dark Ingsmashers, and I would have unlimited chances to fight the thing. {{User:Bop1996/sig}} 19:36, 25 September 2011 (UTC)

It'll be on a user subpage until such time that we're sure of what happens when they blow up (cause it's going to be a fairly small article, I'd prefer to have all the details on it before I mainspace it.)

The launchers always explode once the Ingsmashers are defeated further supporting this. {{:User:Metroidking/sig}} 17:39, 27 September 2011 (UTC)

:::::::First off, that probably took skill ;). Now, that does seem to confirm that if the launcher is destroyed, the Ingsmasher goes with it, either because it can't survive without the launcher, or because the explosion really damages it that much. {{User:Bop1996/sig}} 17:47, 27 September 2011 (UTC)

Hey there!! Thanks for your recent edits, especially regarding consistency in refs. =P Your edits on the [[Keybearer]]s' pages were fine, but I just wanted to point out that "is later recovered" is still future/present tense (as opposed to "was later recovered"). Changing those to "Samus later recovers" changes the voice, not the tense. =) {{:User:Embyr_75/sig}} 15:09, 30 September 2011 (UTC)
:I hadn't thought of that... Actually though, the passive voice is less effective there anyways, so it probably needed to be changed...

If you do wish to crop with it, follow what it says in [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MnlOOSOX6AE this video]. If you're able to, I recommend you download [http://www.gimp.org/ GIMP]. It can crop images in a simpler, faster way. {{:User:Metroidking/sig}} 23:25, 2 December 2011 (UTC)

:::Hope you don't mind me butting in here. When I used MS Paint I just used the cut tool, selected the section I wanted, cut it, and then started a new image and pasted it in there. Oh. That's what the video shows. But the video is really taking it slow, it seriously isn't as complicated as the video makes it look lol. But yes, GIMP is far superior. :D  {{:User:Embyr_75/sig}} 23:46, 2 December 2011 (UTC)

::::I ditched MS Paint after realizing how poorly it handles the large images, but with a little messing around, I figured out how to crop on Adobe Fireworks CS4, which I apparently already had, and I can get it down fairly easily now. But yeah, MS Paint makes everything harder. Anyway, thanks for the help both of you. {{User:Bop1996/sig}} 00:03, 3 December 2011 (UTC)

== Template replacements ==

Would you mind helping me swap out the [[Special:WhatLinksHere/Template:Scanned_Image|scanned image]], [[Special:WhatLinksHere/Template:Screenshot|screenshot]], [[Special:WhatLinksHere/Template:Logbook_image|logbook image]], [[Special:WhatLinksHere/Template:Artwork|artwork]], and [[Special:WhatLinksHere/Template:Sprite|sprite]] image templates in favor of template:source? I'm going to do several replacements a day, but all of the templates combined are on over a thousand files so it would take me a while to finish this if done solo. {{:User:Metroidking/sig}} 19:46, 4 January 2012 (UTC)

:I don't mind at all. I probably should finish the infobox/category/general maintenance I've been running on the Prime Trilogy creature articles first, but after that's done, I'll go and start helping swap out the templates. {{User:Bop1996/sig}} 19:52, 4 January 2012 (UTC)

== Images ==

Hey there Bop! Nice seeing you hard at work on the [[Special:RecentChanges|RC]]. ;)

One thing I wanted to bring up: You recently uploaded [[:File:Transit_Tunnel_South.png|this image of the Transit Tunnel South]] and said it was "higher quality" than the image we had of it before. While that other image was taken from Metroid Recon's walkthrough section and was therefore deleted, the replacement image wasn't of higher quality, it was just larger. In fact, if you look at that image at full resolution, the quality of the image is quite mediocre, and having a larger image isn't always better. In fact, this image, while not adding anything quality wise, takes up a whole megabyte of space. Sure, 1 MB isn't a big deal, but reasonably, an image should only be uploaded as large as its resolution quality can handle. In the future, uploading an image at a size with sustainable resolution quality would probably be best. =) Thanks!!! {{:User:Embyr_75/sig}} 03:20, 19 March 2012 (UTC)

:Thank you for the advice; images are definitely not my forte, so I appreciate any help I can get on that. I have reuploaded the image at a smaller size and still retained the quality at full resolution, and it has significantly cut down on memory usage, so hopefully that's a good fix. {{User:Bop1996/sig}} 22:15, 19 March 2012 (UTC)

::Looks good! :) {{:User:Embyr_75/sig}} 02:07, 20 March 2012 (UTC)

:::Well, at least it saved me the trouble of having to try to think of some sort of subtle plan on my own. ;) Thanks! {{User:Bop1996/sig}} 17:11, 17 May 2012 (UTC)
