alright, here's a shot of my desktop. Simplistic and clean, just as I like.
I'll update it now and then if I see this thread around. I am a little busy these days, and haven't found time to install any of the new Nintendo themes I got.

Manunitedted4eva22: Your Mario Sunshine looks great. I used that theme before but the Nintendo Theme Manager kept bugging me, soI just took it down. Oh, and I don't have enough icons, LOL.
Grey Ninja: What's your favourite character from Penny Arcade? I like alot the Fruit Juice Machine(I ain't putting his real name because some would be pretty offended), he's got this evilness that makes me giggle.
PIAC:Can't you use two different desktops? That way you double the pleasure.

What the Fruit Fucker 2000? Yeah, he's pretty cool. But my favorite characters are Gabe and Div. Div is sleazy, mean, and an alcoholic. That makes him a gooder in my books.
Gabe is a LOT like me. I have on several occasions been asked if I was a clone of Gabe, and I was proud every time. Tycho is a bit too snooty, and too much of a PC Gamer for my tastes. Gabe is a console gamer through and through, and is never afraid to call things as he sees them. And both him and me have the whole Princess thing going.

Hehe, I have that same desktop, Ninja. I also have a 3D rendition of Super Mario Bros. ThePerm made, but I'm too lazy to upload any pictures.
I see what you mean about Tycho being a little stuck up and too much of a PC gamer, though- I don't know if you read his newspost today, but what he said about the Gamecube kinda ruffled my feathers a bit. I think the very fact that he doesn't play his Gamecube a lot is because he obviously has no clue what's on it besides what you read about on IGN or whatever. Why can Nintendo produce a dozen amazing games in a 2 year period and actually get insulted while any other developer puts out 1, maybe 2 amazing games in the same time period and is hailed as a collection of geniouses? I have to say, my PS2 is like a red headed stepchild compared to my Gamecube- I still love it, but it's got the whole neglect thing going. Maybe if Tycho delved a bit deeper into the Gamecube's library instead of acting like everything for the XBox is god, he'd start playing it more often. I actually thinking Nintendo's recent Gamecube games have been significantly better than their recent Gameboy games, which he was raving about today.

Of those, only Quicktime really gets used much, and that's because the blasted thing just won't go away. I hate them all just the same.

Quicktime - was already on my comp...never use it DivX Player - never use it, except in some rare cases I need to(like PGC vids) Windows Messenger - It's how I talk to Aussies! Microsoft Outlook - I can't hide this for some reason...I might just delete it Internet Explorer - It's easy to use, and it hasn't bothered me too much yet...I might change whenever I have more time...

Quote AIM - Hate it, but a few of my friends use it...
Quote RealOne - I really like RealOne...what do you use for mp3/vid playback?
I despise it, just like all RealPlayers ever made. It's bloody useless spyware infested crap. I use Windows Media Player for vids, and Winamp for all audio.
Quote Quicktime - was already on my comp...never use it
It's ALMOST as bad as RealPlayer. The thing keeping it above is the lack of spyware, and the higher functionality. I still dislike it. Good man for not using it when possible.
Quote DivX Player - never use it, except in some rare cases I need to(like PGC vids)
Windows Media Player. Less buggy, faster.
Quote Windows Messenger - It's how I talk to Aussies!
Quote Microsoft Outlook - I can't hide this for some reason...I might just delete it
I use webmail personally, but if I did use an email manager, I would use Thunderbird.
Quote Internet Explorer - It's easy to use, and it hasn't bothered me too much yet...I might change whenever I have more time...
The most detestable of all programs ever made. Words simply cannot describe how much I HATE that program. God only knows why a browser from the f*cking STONE AGE is still the #1 most popular. Oh, I remember! PEOPLE ARE LAZY BASTARDS!!!!

I generally run linux as my primary desktop OS(slack 9) and I found Thunderbird to be rather slow. It is quite early along the line (0.3 last I used) and setup mostly identical to Outlook. Similar features, similar look. If you have Windows on your pc, it really doesn't matter if you use another included app.
I use Winamp 2.0/XMMS for audio playback
Xine/WMP for movies
MozillaFirebird for my browser
Still hate KDE...FLUXBOX FOREVER

Now i would like to point out the important features. First not the placement of icons. then note the name of my computer and it's lovely icon. Also see the graphical bar down the bottom, thats my dock, notice the way that both minimised browser windows display small versions of the pages contained therin. Legend of Zelda RPG is highlighted cos thats where my cursor is. Up the top left corner is something that should be familiar to most of you by now, the small window mode of iTunes.

I was referring to Tycho, Jason, a fellow hardcore gamer, who ads have no effect on. There's rally no excuse for downplaying the Gamecube when you (should) know very well there is a plethora of magnificent titles on it.

Post by: Grey Ninja on November 28, 2003, 03:18:15 AM
Yeah Mouse, I wrote my post here right after I read Tycho's post. To say that I was irritated would be an understatement. I was especially pissed off because he talked so much about Project Gotham Racing, and never even mentioned Mario Kart. I finally convinced my best friend in Ft. McMurray to buy a GameCube... how? 2 games. Mario Kart and Soul Calibur II. Before he met me, he had been leaning toward an Xbox because of Halo.
But I have never really liked Tycho. His new post there just made me like him a little less. It's like gabe says. To find Tycho at E3, look for the most boring, stupid ass game on the floor, and Tycho will be the guy asking the rep all sorts of weird questions.

Cool wallpaper! You should check out Gunslinger Girl. It's quite different than the other animes. It is very violent, both in physical and psicological imagery. Definately not for kids. My avatar is from the intro of GSG and the girl that you used, which goes by the name of Henrietta, is the same as the one on my avatar. Her weapon of choice, which happens to also be one of my prefered, is the P90, which is the one she is using in my avatar. Just one advice for your wallpaper, erase the litte letters that are above and below the word "Gunslinger", that is if you see them well on your desktop then don't even bother.
