Oops, I wiped out the Crossover page again.

Awesome job and congrats! I've enjoyed reading through some of those pages for games that I just can't dedicate that much time to. It is always nice to see others dedicated to trying to make this wiki the go to wiki for games.

I think you recently became the number 3 or 4 person with the most wiki points as well!

Hmm, you should give Japanese games a shot. Clearly you play very few of them. Also, congratulations. That's 200,000 more wiki points than I have.

Jesus, and here I was planning on doing up a blog to celebrate my (soon to be) 100K wiki points milestone... My thunder was already stolen before it even came into existence! ;P

I'd really love to contribute more than I have to the wiki (which is virtually nothing), but I'm just never in the mood, nor do I really know what to add. It's absolutely crazy to me that you have 200,000 points. That's awesome! To 300,000! :P

Also I dunno if I'd call LR fantastic.

Holy crap that's a lot of of points. I don't want to even know how many hours that takes.

What amazes and impresses me the most is not just quantity of edits you make but the quality of them as well. Pages like the Other M page, are amazingly complete.

I'm not very active in the wiki lately due to time and lack of motivation, but when I was I tried to fill the lesser thought of aspects than game pages. Like Character or Location Pages, or defunct developers etc.

I shake my fist at thee!

Thanks! It's strange that I'm in the top few in terms of points accumulated. I'd have thought that more people would have more points by now. Anyway, you've done a lot of great work in the wiki as well, and I'm looking forward to more of your weekly reports.

Sarcasm detected. But thank you!

Hey, there's no shame in that. I actually wrote a 100,000 point blog back in the day. That was...a while ago. But seriously, it'll be fun to read it once you're ready to post it.

Thanks! As for adding content, it's really just a matter of writing about things you're interested in, whether it be a game, a character, concept, no matter how popular or esoteric the subject might be. Maybe you'll find yourself in the mood when the inspiration is there. :)

I would! I have!

I once had earned points on more pages than any other human user. I've probably lost that position since then.

@slag: Characters, locations, and developers could certainly use some love if you are willing to dive in. I always want to start working on those pages, but I seem to find an endless amount of empty game pages still.

Congrats! You have a lot more patience for this than I do, that's for sure. The only thing I've contributed is some info about Traitor's Gate, a really terrible late-90s/early 2000s PC adventure game that I only filled out because I knew NO ONE ELSE had ever played it.

I couldn't even begin to calculate the time I've put into the wiki. Still, when I put the time in, I try to make it productive. I'm glad you appreciate it!

And like bobafettjm said, characters, locations, and developers could always use more love. There are a lot of pages in the wiki that don't have much detail to go with them, so anything you can add would definitely be a step forward.

How active are you on the wiki these days?

Not nearly as much as I used to. I do want to become more active again though .

@hailinel: I am pretty sure I would not want to see the number of hours I have spent on the wiki because then I would think about the productive real life stuff I could have accomplished. But I can say that those things probably wouldn't have been as much fun.

Wow. That is a game I've never heard of, but it looks like you contributed some great info to that page!

I'm kind of the same way. I'm sure that there are other things that I could have done with that time, but it's been fun filling out the wiki.

I was tempted just for a second to change your points to 199,999.

Biggest Contribution - Ninja Gaiden 3 Razor's Edge

Weirdest Page - A toss up between the weird amount of time I put into the Marbus page and of course Sexy Beach Zero.

Nice work. I always tried to get into wiki edits but i'm not very good at writing. Keep up the work.

I'll get to 1,000 eventually. I just need a few more years. At least I'm still the top contributor of the Abraham Lincoln page.

And congrats on all those points. Somebody has to keep this wiki business going.

@mendelson9: Don't worry, not only will you get better at it with time but you can just fill out any little thing and it is helpful.

Kudos, duder (Kududers?). That must've taken a long while. I've only just passed 100k myself, so I don't see myself catching up to you any time soon.

I appreciate the focus on some big Japanese games of recent years. I know you've been aggrieved in the past because of Giant Bomb's general dismissive tone for recent games from the land of the rising sun, but it's awesome that we have a lot of community members who care enough about them to counterbalance the staff's apathy with blogs and in-depth wiki pages. In a sense, it's where I feel the community (the content creator part of it anyway) shines brightest: making up for the deficit in coverage for games that such a small staff of editors inevitably allow to fall by the wayside.

It makes my 5,000 and change seem TINY! Good work!

Congrats man! I haven't contributed to the wiki much in recent years, but somehow I felt the need to write the Might and Magic X page one day because I figured no one else would, and that sucker contributes around a fourth of my wiki points. You? You've put some time in, and I'm going to guess most of those points aren't from uploading "racy but not explicit" fan-art into the wiki back before that loophole was closed.

@hailinel said:

	I forgot to include any sort of description about the Knight class. Whoops.

You monster!

I'll have you know, I worked really hard on my 63 wiki points.

Lies!

Well done on your work. Though the whole point-system still doesn't make any sense to me after all these years (probably because I don't pay attention to the wiki).

@dixavd: The points have changed a lot over the years. I generally just do what I see needs to be done without thinking about how many points it will be.

Hey, someone's got to fill out those Illusion pages!

Thanks. And like bobafettjm said, any little contribution you make can help. Even if it's as small as just correcting the occasional typo you come across.

Thanks. And hey, you're not that far off! At the current pace you're going you might exceed 1,000 by, uh...

hmm...

Yeah, it might be a while. :P

Thanks! And from what I've seen, your work has been pretty consistent and informative. And you definitely fill in for a lot of gaps in my own knowledge. I've never been down the rabbit hole that is the TurboGrafx-16, for example, so from my perspective, it's great to see when these sorts of things do get attention in the wiki. It does sting a bit in that the games I tend to like (or even pay more attention to) are generally dismissed or ignored by the staff, and there's not much I can do about that, but giving these games attention in the wiki and helping out that way is, I think, beneficial in its own right.

Thanks!

Oh, man, I remember those days. That was a loophole I never did abuse, and it didn't surprise me when the engineers closed it with prejudice. (Though it's kind of what they should have expected for assigning point values to image uploads in the first place.) Also, that looks like some fine work you've done on the Might and Magic X page!

Sorry!

Yeah, the point system has undergone a lot of revision over the years. There's not much point in trying to keep track of how much a particular submission is worth because the value of that submission now isn't what it would have been six years ago.

@hailinel: Hey, you're welcome. I should really do more TurboGrafx-16 stuff (I suspect Octurbo might make its return this year). That console is mostly a punchline for most US gamers these days, along with that wave of crappy pre-PS1 CD-ROM consoles of the early 90s, but I find it fascinating. That's partly due to Dr. Sparkle's highly informative Chronturbo series of videos, a spin-off of what he's doing for the NES. I've been familiar with the SNES and Genesis for years, but as a European I had almost no prior knowledge of NEC's console beyond its goofy name.

It would've been a far wiser idea to make the TG-16 the target of this "ensure every game has a full page" project I'm on, rather than the SNES. One of those consoles has considerably fewer games to worry about than the other, let's just say.

@mento: The TurboGrafx or a PC-Engine system is the next one I am on the hunt for. I have wanted one of those since they were new and only ever had one friend who owned it. But being in the area I am sometimes it is hard to come across stuff like that. Although last year I did score a CD-i at a garage sale for $2 since they thought it was a CD player. I also today picked up an amazing XaviX Port.

@bobafettjm: A CD-i for two bucks? Have any games for it?

@mento: My only exposure to the the system was back in college. During my junior year, I roomed with three other guys, and together we amassed a pretty heavy collection of consoles. Among them was a TurboDuo (a combination of TG-16 and the CD-ROM accessory), but we honestly didn't use it very much. It probably didn't help that was also the year when the PS2 and GameCube were new and shiny. I actually wish we had spent more time with it.

@hailinel: I have about 8 - 10 games for it, but unfortunately I have no controller. I did boot up all the games though.

I said it elsewhere and I'll say it here, makes me feel like a slacker. Also I have no idea (some idea) how I have nearly 10k points on UMvC3 alone, with MvC3 and UMvC3 comprising more than half of my total 30k in wiki edits.

Oh and apparently I have 1337 points in WoW?

I got 101 wiki points and the last thing I edited was related to The Wonderful 101.

I'm not sure I want to ruin that.
