My father, was a drinker, and a steamhead. And one night, he goes off crazier than usual. Mommy gets the Nintendo Wii to defend herself. He doesn't like that. Not. One. Bit. So, me watching, he takes the wii to her head, laughing while he does it. He turns to me and says, "Why so Nintendo?" Comes at me with the Wii. "WHY SO NINTENDO?" He opens the steam client... "Let's put a smile on that face." And..................................................I spent all my money on the steam sales.

This is a reference to the multiple scams run by people claiming to have the exclusive rights to sell the Eiffel Tower for scrap metal at very low prices considering it's one of the most recognizeable landmarks in France. And flashblackrus seemed to think that you actually could win a copy of Skyrim for completing the summer sales badge.

So I offered to sell him the Eiffel Tower. At a low price.

I'm posting my full results of the compression analysis I've conducted on this image. Based on the analysis of compression characteristics and EXIF metadata, I conclude that the image is assessed as a Class 1 processed/edited image. And to make matters worse, you used GIMP to do it. Although if you didn't, my code didn't pick it up. This may be a new software editor for the database i've made. Below are the full results.

TL;DR - Image is fake, done in GIMP.

Zlib compression would set off the false alarms on infranview, but not on GIMP. GIMP and GIMP+ use specific compression signatures that you don't find in any other imaging software.

There's no way you didn't use GIMP, as PNG compression is quite easy to hash out, and there's no way to falsify programs used. Either it was GIMP, or Paint.net with a submask set by your Zlib compression overlapping the Paint.net compression, causing a falsified GIMP signature.

You're lying to a 10-year graphics designer who has a degree in forensic science and studied digital signature decryption for 5 years.

And you don't own Skyrim. Double-Whammy.

Why are you trying so hard to prove your point? Just give up, accept that you're caught, and move on. And if you really did get the game, then why not just ignore us and go play it. It's an awesome game. You should really buy a copy, I saw you don't own it on your profile.

I like the watermark feature, it auto-adds JoeyLau.me (with the time) as well as the filename, which contains the date...

Then if anyone uses it (which has happened before), i can easily send a DMCA to the server owner (aka Facebook :p)

Love it when people get pissed off when their content mysteriously goes missing and they rage spam/etc on facebook :p

You're abusing the DMCA, even though Zlib has ownership of all snapshots in their TOS (I'm just assuming this, if they don't then that's just stupid).

Err, even images i chuck my name on are property of Zlib? <-- I should read the TOS...

It's plainly obvious NGPriest is editing images. At no time has Valve indicated in the least that you get anything at all for the badges except having the badges. I don't get what bug crawled up your ass that's making you dog him through this thread, trying to pin him to the wall with forensic evidence of image manipulation.

And besides, this can be easily resolved by asking NGPriest to turn his Steam inventory public for a few hours so people can verify it. If he really did have a redonkulous number of copies of Skyrim, and he really desperately wanted to show how big and tough and rich he was, just open the inventory for a few hours, because the Steam client isn't going to lie. (And if it does, that's either a bug or a Steam TOS violation, one way or the other.)
