Hey there!

TALK - 15:57, June 18, 2011 (UTC) Welcome back! I'm sorry to hear about your absence and the things that caused it, but I'm glad to see another face around here!

Thanks dude; Glad to see a new face who is way involved in the community. Hey; just wondering. Where is everyone else? Or is it just you and me now? CommanderCobalt 16:03, June 18, 2011 (UTC)

Zeypher was around a few days ago; same with Silver Crono. Other than that, the wiki is pretty dead as far as edits are concerned. Many users log in daily, though. Deyvid Petteys 18:32, June 18, 2011 (UTC)

Ah. Gotcha. Good news though, I went to E3 and I heard some talk about a new Chrono game. Said it depended on how many people buy the Virtual Console version. CommanderCobalt 18:35, June 18, 2011 (UTC)

That's awesome! Too bad I don't have a Wii... Deyvid Petteys 18:51, June 18, 2011 (UTC)

Welcome back, Son-er, Cobalt. I'm not dead, just preoccupied with lots of other stuff. I still come on here and check the Recent Changes. Mostly I just see Deyvid being an awesome user. @_@ --—SilverCrono^[T/C] 05:07, June 19, 2011 (UTC)

Hey SC. Never thought you were dead bro, just wondering where everyone was. Glad to see ur all good though. CommanderCobalt 05:09, June 19, 2011 (UTC)

TALK - 04:45, June 30, 2011 (UTC) Hey there! Your LP's are coming together nicely. I stumbled upon your channel out of curiosity. Very humorous. I'm looking forward to seeing more...

Ah, thanks. I've uploaded some tech videos to the channel, but I want to get all of Chrono's done before I allow them to go public. I've been trying to get people here, but its not going so great. I'll make a comment on it in my next Chrono Trigger ep. Sorry about this, but I'm leaving to go to Spain for 3 weeks; and I have no idea about my internet situation. Hopefully my host parent will have some; and if they do I'll be on here, but if not well...I'm gone for 3 weeks. Sorro (note the Sorro was done on purpose and was not supposed to be sorry; although that is what I mean by that. You know what...eh...nevermind...) CommanderCobalt 22:51, June 30, 2011 (UTC)

You know, you don't have to "upload" the videos to the wiki. Just use this code, which, for example, would lead to http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=716O3L-Xnfs&feature=feedu .

So yeah. No more Videos on the wiki, please? --—SilverCrono^[T/C] 03:42, July 1, 2011 (UTC)

Ah, sorro. I'll do that. CommanderCobalt 03:59, July 1, 2011 (UTC)

TALK - 17:36, July 1, 2011 (UTC) Assuming you edit your videos before posting them on youtube, is it at all possible for you to get single-frame shots of techs? For instance, I know we need images for Double Cure, Ice Toss, and Twin Charm to name a few. Normally, I would just do it, but I recently started a New Game+ and erased my save data. :/. Anyway, if you can't, that's okay; just figured I'd ask. Have fun in Spain. Sounds like an amazing vacation, dans mon avi.

CommanderCobalt - The True Master of The Masamune! TALK - But your princess is in another castle... Sorry Mario!. {{{time}}} Yep. I'll do it right now on my SNES copy of the game. I'm that far in those. I'll also finish Crono's tech demos on the Chrono Wiki channel.

CommanderCobalt - The True Master of The Masamune! TALK - But your princess is in another castle... Sorry Mario!. 18:26, July 1, 2011 (UTC) Actually want me to do video as well? No commentary just straight video? I have both as options.

Can't upload; something about MIME Type. Help??? CommanderCobalt 18:34, July 1, 2011 (UTC)

I don't think we can upload videos directly to the wiki from a hard-drive. I think you need to have them hosted online and provide an external link to them. If you're receiving a MIME error, its likely the file extension (such as .html or .com or whatever) typed when you uploaded, doesn't match the actual extension of the file. Some video extensions aren't supported on here, and I'm not sure which ones are honestly. --Deyvid Petteys 18:57, July 1, 2011 (UTC)

Ah don't worry about it. I got it done so it doesn't really matter =). CommanderCobalt 18:58, July 1, 2011 (UTC)

Alrighty. The Tech articles look good by the way. --Deyvid Petteys 19:07, July 1, 2011 (UTC)

Tech Layout

I'm moving this discussion here, since it's more general than "Proximity Bomb". As far as tech articles go, what do you think is the proper layout? I have some ideas and both of us have been abiding by a specific pattern. I want to make this more concrete; since there are no entries in the Manual of Style about the layout of tech articles. So far, we have something like this as a general format:

 '''{{PAGENAME}}''' blah, blah, is a tech in {{GAME NAME HERE}}.  Describe anything non-essential 
such as what level this tech is learned or if its the third tech learned, etc. It can cause such and such status effect. 

==Description==
Describe the animation of the tech as it appears on the screen. 

==Etymology==
Why is the tech called this? 

{{NAV BAR}}

I was think that maybe an additional section such as "Strategy" could be added or something. You know, we could list scenarios of when this tech is most appropriate or what enemies it works best against, instead of lumping it into the overview (which is what I've been doing). For instance, in Hypnowave, I feel there should be a separate section for the tip on defeating Mother Brain with it, and feel that we could honestly squeeze similar sections into the other tech articles. We don't have to go back and re-edit ones we've already slaved over; just keep it in mind during future tech edits and see if it would be useful.

Sorry about the wall-o'-text. --Deyvid Petteys 04:19, July 2, 2011 (UTC)

I like it. I think its a great idea, especially the strategy one. Their are certain situations in which certain techs are extremely useful, like Giga Gaia is a pain if you don't have Falcon Strike. Overall, can't agree more. Let's put this plan into action as we work through it, because as you said why re-edit what we just did. Incorporation AWAY! CommanderCobalt 04:29, July 2, 2011 (UTC)

We miss you at the Chrono Wiki. Come back from Spain. We have Tequila too. :) --— Radical D ^{(bother \ stalk)} 07:46, July 19, 2011 (UTC)

I wish I could. No worries, Im back to my beloved copy of Chrono Trigger in 4 days time. Sorry broski! CommanderCobalt 09:12, July 19, 2011 (UTC)
