Poor Image: Yet Another Stupid Death

Yeah, the image on Yet Another Stupid Death is a screenshot of a black screen with a splatter and the words "you died because you were dumb". That's not very visual, that's a page quote in GIF form (and the actual page quote is better).

Motion to pull. Possible replacements include scary movie, or I wanna be the guy or bomberman (minus the caption at the bottom).

I like the I Wanna Be the Guy suggestion, unless people object to the word "retard" in it. Here is a higher quality version (it didn't have the watermark when I downloaded it).

1.2 seems workable if we allow that language.

I think 1.3 might work, but cut off the text at the bottom.

My attempt to scale 1.2 down to wiki size without it looking blurry:

[up] Too small, if you ask me...300 px should be a good compromise. Since the slur's in the game, I've no issue with including it.

I think images from sprite-based games look really sloppy when not at native resolution, so how about this?

I'll go for it, assuming we can all agree we won't instantly pull it once someone makes a thread because they are offended by it.

[up]Maybe we should include in the commented note not to remove or replace it just because you find the language offensive.

I think we have consensus for 8.

8's in and tagged; caption?

Who'd have thought a heavily-armed spaceship would be so dangerous?
