Not verbatim, but more or less the same as the image on Missing Secret.

I now go by Graf von Tirol.

I don't care for either, honestly.

I suggest moving the image on the main page onto this subpage. That's where it belongs under the oft-forgotten policy.

It is a poor example of woolseyism, as it looks like a sincere videogame tip, without informing that it is a screwed up translation. Also, the picture exists on another page. Vote for deletion.

Yeah, the main page's image should be moved there, and the one from Missing Secret pulled. I don't have an idea for a replacement though.

please don't capitalize my handle. I just don't like it.

I moved the Woolseyism pic to the video games subpage; still not down with the pic on Missing Secret.

[up] Ahh, the infamous Stop n Swap. It's definitley an example of the trope and a gaming legend, but you really have to have played Banjo Kazooie and Banjo Tooie in their fullest to know what it's about.

Which is why I chose that particular image, mainly for the "The Answers Are Coming..." tagline in it. Really brought home the whole "Missing" aspect, to me.

[up][up][up][up] I don't get it. It's a floating key; how is that this trope?

Yeah, that image is useless unless you know the story behind it.

The_Story (as understood by someone who has never played Banjo Tooie beyond a few levels on a barely-stable emulator with a system barely capable of running it):

The ending credits for Banjo Kazooie play a long and detailed advertisement for the sequel, and especially for Stop 'N' Swop, a "new mechanic" which will reportedly facilitate an Old Save Bonus (despite being a cartridge-based system) which involves a giant key made of crystal and an egg with a question mark on it. Years later, when Banjo Tooie finally released, Stop 'N' Swop had been deemed technically impossible and scrapped (due to the N64 still being a cartridge-based system). No mention is made of it in the second game, and fans occasionally make internet jokes about the whole incident, this image being among them.

Clock is set. Pull the pic on Missing Secret or leave it?

Well, the images aren't duplicated anymore, at least.
