I\'m thinking about adding some screencaps for the characters, but the trouble is that I\'m not sure what exactly to show for some of them. I\'ve got a video card so I can actually make the screencaps; no stolen ones would do them justice in my opinion. Issues I see with individual units in deciding screencaps:

Factions: Insignia or a group shot of multiple units by an upgraded stage? Drowning Doom\'s poses a bit of a problem since the insignia itself is a massive spoiler, ItWasHisSled -ness or not. But then, anything showing their leader would be too.

units in general: Double teamed or not? Especially in the case of DD units which mostly don\'t have a cutscene introduction, I\'m thinking their image should include a double team.

cameo and semi-unique units: Yea or nay? I\'m thinking twin mugshot, one for the cameo semi-unique unit and one for regular.

Ironheade: Campaign or multiplayer skins?

Eddie: I\'m thinking screencap with the Deuce, but with or without campaign upgrades? If it\'s with upgrades; I\'m thinking default paint, Side Burner, Subwoofer, triple nitro, max armor(but no Coiling Maw), and max speed. I\'m thinking a non-default paint job or any DLC items would be best as they don\'t fit Ironheade\'s overall visual style. Granted, I \'\'want\'\' to use screencaps using the Love Giver and Blade of Ormagoden...But I just think they\'d be thematically out of place.

Lars: How about a shot of him doing his double team? I think showing off his \'\'amazing leadership skills\'\' would be appropriate.

upgradable units: I really want to show both their default and upgraded forms. How about a twin mugshot: one regular and the other the upgraded form in alternate multiplayer color? For TC\'s tier 1 units, I\'m thinking a triple mugshot with their purple multiplayer color for Divine along with green for Superior and campaign colors for regular.

Dirgible: Double teaming with it doesn\'t provide good screencap material...Yea or nay on double team?

Tainted Coil overall: Campaign or multiplayer colors for Doviculus and tier 3/4 units? Personally, I find the campaign colors\' liberal usage of black more appealing than the purple and green multiplayer colors...but arguably the multiplayer colors are more important.

TC hierarchy units: I\'d really like to get a shot of Doviculus double teaming with them, but without some help I\'d have those ugly HUD elements all over the shot :(

Screamwagon: Which two torture methods? I don\'t see justification for all three, just one regular and one Superior; either one being double teamed. I\'m thinking the torture rack would probably be a poor choice as it\'s difficult to convey it being used in a still image of restricted size.

Pain Lifter, Heart Cutter, Hate Cage: Double teaming screws the camera around so that getting a shot of it happening would be difficult to make it clear what\'s actually happening, especially for the Superior version of Pain Lifter and getting a shot of it deployed.


I think that about covers it. It may take me a few days to get all the screencaps I want, upload, and add them since(unfortunately) I do have something of a life, but consarn it I want to do it!

EDIT: Apparently I can\\\'t take screencaps worth bothering with on my crummy capture card. Definitely not worth investing in a better one :|
