Do you like collecting in-game screenshots?
I certainly do. Had this habit since one of the first games I played - Half-Life 2 Redemption (it was a high-quality singleplayer addon created by Maverick). Since then I've had screenshot galleries of almost all games that I've played for any significant amount of time. The largest is Morrowind of course, there was a screenshot contest at Arwen's forums where I've revealed some of the best I had.
Screenshots are a good way to remember the games you played long ago. Of course it's possible to reinstall and play it again, but it would never feel like the first time.
For some reason I never really developed a screenshot gallery, I never really saw the point. Usually if I take a screenshot it is because I specfically would like to show someone something. This only recently changed with The Sims 2, I take screenshots in there everytime my sim turns around :P Every time they fall in love, or propose or do something funny I take a picture. I have no idea why I do this in the sims though and no other games :)
I generally Format my HDD alot, and don't back stuff like that up. Ever noticed how big your FL screens folder gets with all those >2mb screens?
It frees a whole lotta space deleting them all:P
EDIT:
' Wrote:Yes, we need more gravediggers.
Personally I support idea of Gravediggers becoming lawful users, however almost everyone here sees them only as brute users.
Despite the karlottas or Harcounts aren't really even users.
What do I win?
Do you guys even check the date when the thread was made?
And StrikeTheory you are starting to make a habit out of lame grave-digging and +1'ing.
I got a program that saves the images .jpg since my fl SS button broke some some strange reason.
And I only take screens for special events or insane fights and stuff like that or fleet formations.
And I am slowly starting to make more screens of other games since I played FL again.
Zeltak, you have rather failed this time.
And what do you mean start?
Let's let this one live, though, why not. Ever since I got to play freelancer on my own computer, I've had screenshots piling up. Recently I don't even convert them to jpeg to save space, just zip and burn them on a DVD when I need some disk space. I think I might have filled one so far.
Hmm... I guess keeping them is more sentimental than anything.
I kinda gave up when I forgot to back them up the first time... Lost 1000 odd screens right back to my first time playing.:(
I don't have exactly a gallery, but have few GB's of screenshots, mostly from games with great graphics, or some awesome scenes, explosions, and similar stuff. I did cleaned my HDD few times, so now mostly have stuff from new games, like Star Wars: The Force Unleashed, Mass Effect 2, but of course Freelancer is taking most of the space at the moment. :rolleyes:
Oh wow. At first I was like Elvalia posted. (And was hence going to make a comment about Administration.)
Then, I realised it was a gravedig.:mellow:
Anyway, I have some Oblivion ones which are nice. They might be on my XFire. (Not sure.)
