Hello, I am one of the many sysops at SW. I am excellent at persevering through criticism, which I hope is to the benefit of SW. I (and others) sometimes abbreviate my alias as NMH.


Recently I have tended to be inactive. I spend most of my game-related time on flash games that are not part of SW's scope or MMOs too large and daunting for one person to work on. I have come and gone from SW over the past 4.5 years, but I always seem to return.
Hello, I am one of the few bureaucrats at SW. I am currently inactive (as of January 2020). I am excellent at persevering through criticism, which I hope is to the benefit of SW. I (and others) sometimes abbreviate my alias as NMH.

I spend most of my game-related time on retro games, flash games that are not part of SW's scope, or MMOs too large and daunting for one person to work on. I have come and gone from SW over the past 7 years, but I always seem to return.

A shout out to [[User:0-172|Lunar Knight]] for the idea of a personal infobox (I wrote this in like, 2007).

"The Hot Q: Grand Theft Auto 4<br/>
...It's something I get asked about a lot (thanks for the E-mails, guys - you know who you are). It's Grand Theft Auto 4, and prepare yourselves for a whopper of a rumor, folks. Here goes: The just-announced Grand Thef Auto: Vice City is just the beginning of what will become known as the GTA Universe. After Vice City, the next Grand Theft Auto game will be dubbed "Crime Online." And if you haven't guessed by now, it's going to be the first console-networked title in the series. There will be a new stand-alone GTA as well, but that's still a ways off..." --Q-Mann, EGM August 2002.

"Hi Aniki!  I've used the same technique on [[Pac-Man]], [[Ms. Pac-Man]], and [[Galaxian]].  I discovered the technique to making them when I discovered this page on a video-game blog: http://iconfactory.com/freeware/preview/arcd
I saw it and set about figuring out how to recreate the effect.  I can teach you exactly how I do it (which may or may not necessarily be how Gedeon Maheux developed them, although I've been in contact with him and he said they're very close.)  I use GIMP 2.2
# Start with the original sprite, and scale it 7x
# Duplicate the sprite in a new layer and shift it to the right 7 pixels.  Darken the new layer through the Brightness and Contrast tool (I darken it by -96)
# Duplicate the sprite yet again in another layer, but only shift it one pixel to the right.  Brighten this layer with the Brightness and Contrast tool (I brighten it by 127.)  This layer goes between the original and the dark version.
# Now it gets a bit tricky.  Select the transparent space (or background color) around the sprite in the original layer.  I hit Shift+Q to show the selection mask, then I push it over to the left by one pixel.  Hit Shift+Q again to go back to the selection mode and press Ctrl-X to chop off the rightmost pixels.  This exposes a little more of the lighter pixels underneath on the right side.
# Again, select the transparent space around the sprite in the original layer.  Now invert the selection so you're only selecting the sprite.  Create a new layer, and choose the gradiant tool with a gradiant that goes from black to white.  With the area over the sprite selected, create gradiant straight across the sprite.  When you're done, select that layer in the layer dialog, and choose "Grain Merge" and set the opacity to 50% to soften the effect.
# Lastly, you want to sample the transparent space around the entire image (check the "Sample Merged" checkbox.)  Pick one of the dominant colors of the sprite, and darken it substantially.  Fill the transparent area with the dark color, and then shrink the selection by 4, and feather it by 2.0, then press Ctrl-X to cut it and create the dark border around the entire picture, and viola.
That's the best way that I can explain it to you.  If you're unfamiliar with GIMP, IM me @ procyoncoon through AIM or Yahoo.  Good luck! [[User:Procyon|Procyon]] 09:03, 31 August 2006 (CDT)"

===Rules===
 
====Romanizations====
{{details|StrategyWiki:Guide/Main game page#Japanese exclusive titles}}
*SW Japanese Romanization simply follows the romanization of their hiragana constituents. In the case of Kanji, refer to the On'yomi readings to break it down to where the vowels can be pieced together. Sometimes a Japanese dictionary is necessary to determine which reading is appropriate to the context of its use. E.g. if you know what the word means in English, find the reading for the character that matches that translation (e.g. for Senpuukyaku, puu can appear as pu or puu, but puu is the word that means air, which matches the whirlwind kick translation).
*For Genpei Touma Den series games:
**源 -> げん (gen) -> gen
**平 -> へい (hei) -> ぺい (pei) -> pei
***Genpei
**討 -> とう (tō) -> tou
**魔 -> ま (ma) -> ma
***Touma
**伝-> でん -> Den
*For Naruto Clash of Ninja series games:
**激闘 -> げきとう -> Gekitō -> Gekitou (Ge, ki, to, u)
**疾風伝 -> しっぷうでん -> Shippūden -> Shippuuden (shi, little tsu, pu, u, de, n)
*For Street Fighter games:
**竜巻 -> たつまき (kun'yomi) -> Tatsumaki (ta, tsu, ma, ki)
**旋風脚 -> せんふうきゃく -> Senpuukyaku (se, n, fu, u, kya, ku) - note that the fuu here has been replaced by a puu - no explanation has been discovered as to why
*For Shadow Land (Youkai Douchuuki):
**妖怪 -> ようかい -> Youkai (yo, u, ka, i)
**道中記 -> どうちゅうき -> Douchuuki (do, u, chu, u, ki)
*For 64 Ousumou and all sumo games (Oosumou means grand sumo, as in a tournament or pro match, or professional sumo wrestling):
**大相撲
***Literal transcription -> おおすもう -> Oosumou (this is never used; use sumou or oozumou)
***Arbitrary cultural version -> おおずもう -> Oozumou (this is the one used by professional sumo wrestling)
 
===Templates===
*{{t|paddedfloat}}: used to center text under a walkthrough link.
*{{t|im}}: for in-line images. Best used as a base for a guide-specific clone. Most notable clones are {{t|im/oot}}, {{t|im/loz}}, and {{t|im/mmx}}.
