Images that are used by the computer can be roughly divided into two groups. The first type of images is the so-called bitmap graphic or raster graphic image; the second type is the vector graphic. The fundamental building blocks of vector graphics are vectors, hence the name. A vector is a mathematical description of a line or a curved line. Adobe Illustrator uses so-called 'Bezier curves' to describe an image. A vector graphic can be resized without any loss of quality, unlike a bitmap graphic. Bitmap graphics describe an image as a collection of colored dots, or so-called pixels.

I care about the truth, and I strive to keep the information on this website accurate and up-to-date. For instance, where possible, I have taken pains to personally test claims about the video games before making them.

However, doing so is not always feasible, occasionally I manage to be wrong even when I think I've confirmed something, and with a website of this size, it's difficult to keep track of every single piece of information anywhere on it that might need to be changed or updated. Thus, if you spot any errors, mistakes or out-of-date tidbits - or even just typos - I'd be thrilled if you would report them via this form.
