I think that's the Quake logo, but I'm not sure. At any rate, I'm not sure how this demonstrates quad damage; I think we'd need a screenshot for a regular attack, and then a screenshot for the powered up attack.

Rhetorical, eh? ... Eight!

That image means absolutely nothing.

It's the "quad damage" power-up from Quake.

Yeah, that is completely and utterly useless.

We need an "x4 attack" bubble or something.

+1 to pull, completely undemonstrative.

God I would put this under a TRS for a rename as it is woefully underused and not descriptive for a really broad trope "A Power-Up that yields temporary boost in speed, power, or damage for a character."

I don't have any ideas outside of World Of Warcraft's Bloodlust / Heroism spell [1]

Polutropon added the image back; should it be repulled?

Pull it again, tag the page to show that it was pulled per the IP thread, and if he/she puts it back again, make an Ask The Tropers request for an edit block.

Pulled it again, putting in a commented-out note and an edit reason that the image should not be put back before the IP thread has decided.

Suggestion: show a screenshot from your weapon of choice from Heretic or Hexen, then a second screenshot with the same weapon while using the Tome Of Power.

Unfortunately, GIS'ing it didn't turn up anything useful, and neither did the Doom Wiki. Are there any Hexen fans around?

Like this? Not too thrilled with how it came out, but regardless, on the left you've got the standard shot from Heretic's Ethereal Crossbow, and on the right, the Tome of Power-charged shot. One with a nearest neighbor resize to make it more "authentic", and one with a bicubic resize in case people think that'd be prettier.

Definitely needs a vertical gutter, took me a while to work out that's two images.

[up] Either of those are good, although I'm not seeing a difference between them.

[up]The difference lies in how the pixels are compressed. With or without sharp lines.

I like the top one better.

It's good, but I'd suggest making the vertical separator a bit wider and/or a different color.

[up][up][up] Got it...man, that's subtle. I think I prefer the sharper version. Making the divider, say, 5 px wider would be good, too.

Still haven't closed Photoshop, so that'll be doable; but it'll have to wait until I get home.
