![]() I love this image. It's a shame that it doesn't look all that great as my wallpaper. I cannot find a copy of the image at the 1280x960 resolution that I perfer to use. The image is so good though that I use it anyways. ![]() ![]() ![]() -------------------- "It is the mark of an educated mind to be able to entertain a thought without accepting it." - Aristotle |

I don't post often, but if a topic comes up where I can show how mantastic I am through my desktop, I'll take the chance immediately.
If you don't have a pillows wallpaper, you fail at life On a side note, shouldn't you all have wallpapers such as this one or perhaps the one you could have if Josh uploaded it and he knows what I'm talking about that little buttmonster ![]() Moderator Edit I still haven't done that?

[/EDIT]I like variety, so I change my desktop every once in a while. I've had my laptop for around seven months or so, and I've had three wallpapers for it.
The first one was a wallpaper that came with my Skies of Arcadia Dreamcast disk. If you put disk 1 in your computer, there are several wallpapers and images there! Here's a site with all of the wallpapers that come with the disk. The one that I used for several months is on the top row of "Official Skies of Arcadia/Eternal Arcadia Wallpapers", the second from the left (the sky scene with The Albatross flying towards what appears to be Pirate Island). I was inspired to use it because I had only recently obtained Skies of Arcadia Legends and was reexperiencing SoA all over again. After I got bored of the SoA wallpaper, I went on a search and found some fan-made FF VII wallpaper on animewallpapers.com that was really cool-lookin'. Here's a link to the page. The wallpaper I used was on the top row, second from the left (Shinra, INC. building scene). The one that I've used since early March or so I found on beautifulwallpapers.com. The site has a little too much cheesecake and beefcake on it, but there are some good desktop images there. The one I'm using from there is an Australian landscape that I actually have a decent link for. So that's all, folks. Nice topic you have here. Edit One of the links was bad. And I mean really bad. On a side note, I'm too technophobic to do a proper desktop scan. This post has been edited by laszlow on 25th April 2005 20:13 -------------------- |

![]() My background's one of two things. Generally, I use this one (cropped slightly as my resolution is 1280x1024): a desktop pic of the main character from a game I'm developping. Lately, in anticipation of the legendary Hitchiker's Guide movie, I've had a HHGG desktop picture. As can be seen, I throughoutly detest desktop shortcuts. ![]() -------------------- "Judge not a man by his thoughts and words, but by the quality and quantity of liquor in his possession and the likelyhood of him sharing." |

I didn't like a lot of it because I don't want wallpaper that shows just one final fantasy character, as I admire so many of them, thus I ended up going with a FF9 wallpaper from your link that shows practically all of the main FF9 characters. It's quite cool. -------------------- 'Let that be a lesson to all oppressive vegetable sellers.' |

So I had this sweet desktop earlier, but had I posted it I would have been warned. Seeing as that's probably not the best way to go, I went with a nice little shot of some random planet.

My latest desktop image is a huge NO SPAM sign. You can find it (800x600) at http://web.mit.edu/derrict/Public/nospam.PNG . A beautifully simple, elegant, MS-Paint-produced image. Measured out with precision. Print it out and throw it at spammers--e-mail spammers, forum spammers, bulletin board spammers, and general annoyances who like to flood other people with useless information.

Mine tends to change pretty often now. But it's usually an up-to-date screenshot from Endless Saga. Having a constant reminder of the progress I'm making keeps me very motivated.
![]() ![]() Bare? Sure is, hasn't changed from last time. I don't use my desktop. It's the first thing I see, then I fire up the Windows Explorer and use that.
