This image is bad because A) It's tiny, B) it's all dialog, and C) this is a Video Game trope, and it has nothing to do with video games.

Motion to pull, regardless of a replacement.

Keep Until Better Image Suggested. The page explicitly allows for non-game examples, and a piece of hardware can certainly be an obvious beta.

Rhetorical, eh? ... Eight!

C) this is a Video Game trope, and it has nothing to do with video games.

So why are there many non videogame folders. Like Hardware, Non-Video Game Examples, etc.... And the description specifically allows for anything, using the word "product" not "Videogame" (It also mentions non videogame software). In fact, the description barely uses the word videogame, favoring "Software".

The term Beta has neither originated with, or is exclusive to, videogames.

So Keep Until Better Image Suggested.

It's still needlessly small. I'd like to find something better.

I see nothing wrong with that. So long as its legible. Which it is.

Stretch to 200% and upload as a quality upgrade, if you want.

Well, since the Enhance Button has been pressed, anyone got a better suggestion for an image? 'Cause as it is, I think it works. Heavy on dialogue, but it works. And not all dialogue.

Eh, I'm fine with it. As it was before, it may as well have been all dialog, since it was so small, but this is okay. Certainly not bad enough to pull.

It looks like the joke is taken a little too far to be as clear, I must say.

Big Rigs Over the Road Racing?

My favorite. Image is clear, no watermark, the HUD is clearly not final (the numbers extend past the interface, the truck is clipped into another truck.

The problem with all of the Big Rigs things is that you have to be familiar with the work to know that it was actually released in that condition.

The Dilbert one is the best so far, to me, especially since we now have an enhanced version to use.

Image was in beta, so someone needed to press the button. tongue

I prefer 11's over the original image since 11's is much more descriptive. Actual demonstrations are much better than descriptions of them.

Strong support for 11. 13.3 would be my second choice.

11 works but is a bit boring. 8 is more interesting but relies a lot on text. I'd be okay with either.

I don't much care for the Big Rigs examples. It's not clear what's going on in them until you look hard.

@13: Went to Uncyclopedia's "review" (Hilarity Ensues) and found this.

Otherwise, if there are no further suggestions or oppositions, then 11 would be the go-to.

11 is good, and it doesn't rely on text.

#24: Jul 24th 2013 at 5:13:21 PM

I assumed 11 would already win since there's already a strong support, so I went ahead and replaced the previous image with the new one. If anyone wants to change the image, all they have to do is either make a new thread or respond to this one before it is locked.

Okay. There is definitely enough consensus. Only change I would make would be to remove the text on the bottom, but that copyright concerns me.
