PC game covers thread (was: Official PC game template)

[Hexxxer]

I've been a bit busy with work as of late so it will be a little before I manage to get to them.
It was great of you to get those up, it is very appreciated.

Just to mention it.... The last 42 overs(except a few from lumberjack) werer posted by me and the whole process of downloading checking and reuping and making them visible on the site took me around 5 to 6 hours.... Just that you know that this isn't a work of five minutes... I planned to upload all of your covers as well Creazil and Hexxer but it took too long in the ned to do all the covers I wanted.... So then there comes the filtering... As PC game covers are very low on my priority list(I'm a console games collector) I decided to put them on the backburner....
I always try to upload as much as possible but I have much to do besides thecoverproject so be patient please....
Would be easier if some other admins would become a little more active but that is not in my hands.... You know I like it better if I check something myself and know that the quality is right then someone else does it "the fast way" and we get low res stuff on our site....

Enough said.... Patience is the key....

I got chewed out on my first upload so I was WAIIIII more careful after that... and slower. But it's summer and I'm wrapping up the feeling of "lulz no school" and I'm switching gears into "oh shit I should do something over summer vacation" so I'm gonna try to upload more. I almost uploaded a NES cover you said met quality control and you would try to upload, but I let you handle it to avoid confusion, since I never do any contributions to the UGC crowd.

We allready have quite some admins.... It's just that some of them aren't quite active in checking and upping... I can perfectly understand that it'S a lot of work... More admins doesn't neccessarily mean more covers by the way... If we could just get one admin who loves uploading and quality checking we could do a quantum leap.... Anyways I prefer the slow but thorough way.... If we get to many admins quality of our covers could get lower and lower.... You know on other sites everyone can upload his covers himself and there is no quality control so they have the stuff fast on their site.... BUT the quality of the covers is uncomparable to our site.... We want to keep this quality up par.....

That sounds like a fine approach to me. As long as the quality is there, I don't mind that it's a slow process.

Finally did something

I have been working on the Warcraft cover. I finished cleaning the front end so the back should be easy. I will post it tonight

[MisterCreazil]

Yeah i really need to clean up my Creatures 2 cover some more, there were a lot of things that wouldn't even of been that hard to fix but I just did the biggest ones.  Anyways I modified that Spiderman Cover that was recently posted for the pc version.  It now has all the proper PC information as opposed to the playstation stuff.

*edit* fixed a couple things, it's hard for me to catch everything because I'm doing these on a projector instead of a monitor

the edges of the box were cut off so that's why they're cut off on the cover *edit* I fixed it using Shin Gallon's Raw for the game

I modified the cover that was already up, for the back I had to use the back of a jewel case and just stretched it so it doesn't really look the best, but I prefer it over the xbox cover back.

Hexxxer,
  I love the Ultima covers but I think you have a typo on the Worlds cover.

In the description for Martian Dreams it says.

"travelers have little change of surviving" instead of "travelers have little chance of surviving.

[Hexxxer]

alright, I will fix that soon.

Thanks

[Hexxxer]

here is the Warcraft covers. I ended up with my RAM starting to fail so I had to wait until today to replace it. I did both the MS DOS template as well as the generic PC CD template. I got a little fed up of trying to clean the spine and just ended up replacing it. Other then that the is some tape residue still in the image but I got rid of most of it.

BTW Thanks for the scans MisterCreazil.

[MisterCreazil]

Cool thanks.  My brother noticed the resolution on some of my covers were wrong, I'll be uploading the fixed versions tomorrow.
