 * It's a really popular game, so I hear, and one person who really wanted it said that everybody they knew had the game. I had to get mine Preowned because there were hardly any in the shop! --Melon247 (Dog&#39;s Life&#39;s No. 1 fan) 12:55, 31 July 2008 (CDT)
 * Well, I haven't heard anything online, and since I don't have any game magazine subscriptions at the moment I can't really contest how popular it is. I really don't understand the whole virtual pet genre craze...  -- 16:11, 31 July 2008 (CDT)
 * Additionally, this game is called Hamsterz 2 in the UK, Hamsterz 2008 in AU, and Petz: Hamsterz 2 in the US. -- 16:14, 31 July 2008 (CDT)

 * There are 800 categories that have been linked to yet don't exist. If 13 people do two a day for a month, we can knock the whole thing out. That's being conservative too, because lots of them don't actually need a category, they just need the link fixed. Let's eliminate some red links! - naj zere 20:32, 15 December 2008 (UTC)
 * That is a lot. I'll help with this as time permits. Baejung92  (talk) 04:36, 16 December 2008 (UTC)
 * I'm voting no on this because it is a maintenance job. As such, it will probably not receive much focus beyond sysops and people already interested in cleanup. I think COTM should be reserved for individual games or game series. -- 20:39, 16 December 2008 (UTC)
 * I'm going to remain undecided per NMH's statement above. COTM used to be about cleanup and creating policies and whatnot, but eventually merged into fleshing out guides.  I do like the idea of this collab. though.  Maybe we should create a collaboration under the  Cleanup project.  It could be a monthly or bi-monthly thing.  There's plenty to do behind the scenes that it could be useful (the Petz thing for instance).-- Duke  Ruckley Talk 21:47, 16 December 2008 (UTC)

Comments
 * Left 4 Dead was recently released by Valve (November 20) and has become a huge hit. It's a cooperative game without too many maps and such, so we could easily bring it to 3 or maybe 4 by the end of the month.  Also, the game is out for both the PC and the 360, allowing for a large audience (and screenshots will be easy to come by).-- Duke  Ruckley Talk 21:50, 16 December 2008 (UTC)
 * A collab that I could actually help write the guide for. Baejung92  (talk) 05:36, 17 December 2008 (UTC)
 * I heard this game has a lot of dynamic content (items/ammo spawns based on necessity) making it rather difficult to write a guide for. What would this guide look like? -- Prod (Talk) 06:26, 17 December 2008 (UTC)
 * I'll go for it. I've played this game and I really like it. It's rather short so I agree with Ruckley's analysis that it can be easily covered. As for the dynamic content, stuff in the safehouses doesn't really change. Also some features don't change. As a GameFAQs guide puts one section...

""Want to skip a nice portion of this level? Well you easily can. Instead of travelling through the monster-infested apartment, you can jump right off the roof without harm... you'll just need some handy footwork.""

- GameFAQs
 * Additionally there are certain points at which you'll get a large horde of enemies - we can forewarn here. Perhaps the only problem is that I don't have this game myself. @_@ --Arrow Windwhistler (talk) 06:44, 17 December 2008 (UTC)
 * The dynamic portion is controlled by the AI called the Director. The levels are mostly the same (they differ slightly between the different difficulties and with versus mode).  There are certain events that always occur no matter what.  There are also certain places that are more likely to spawn certain things than others, so we can alert the reader by saying "Keep an eye out for pain pills that occasionally spawn on the counter here" or "Be aware that a Tank periodically spawns in the cubicles ahead."  It shouldn't be too difficult, actually.  And the more important part of the guide could be as tips, with infomration like "try to keep your back to a wall when the Horde is attacking" or "do not stand still when being pursued by a Tank."-- Duke  Ruckley Talk 14:10, 17 December 2008 (UTC)


 * Though this game is quite dynamic, there are a lot of things that happen in every game, or a way that is the best way to progress through a level, thing to look out for, etc. You could also make a short FAQ type guide on how to deal with each type of Infected, how best to survive a Horde attack, etc.  If you need help with this please let me know...I'm just new to editing wiki's so I'm kind of afraid to start a whole new section. -- Matarax 20:42, 18 December 2008 (UTC)
