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.

Pheh, Macs.

You can't see the best feature of my desktop, the thousands of dollars in cash that I saved by buying commodity hardware and using free software.

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.

Maybe if Nintendo bought as much advertising space as Microsoft...

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.

Grey Ninja · « **Reply #53 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.

It's been so long since I've posted but anyway...
I like mine nice and neat. Here.

I only just switched to that RE one though, i think i'll go back to my Zelda christmas one.

KnowsNothing · « **Reply #57 on:** December 01, 2003, 11:50:00 AM »

I've got a few:

My PGC desktop
Made by me in about three mintues. I'll make a real PGC one someday.

Pacifica

Shanon
This is the one I have up now. It looks better in person. Sadly, the dancing GIR died for some reason.

SP title screen

The reason some don't have takbars at the bottom is becasue I have it on auto-hide.

Hostile Creation · « **Reply #58 on:** December 01, 2003, 12:25:21 PM »

Nice desktop, knowsnothing.

Mine soon. . . I'm a Microsoft whore, but that'll probably change come college. It used to be pics from explodingdog.com (changed pictures regularly) with Gir dancing in the foreground, but now it's WW themed with Gir dancing in the foreground.

Stuff. Yay: Stuff

I'm not sure what that unlabeled folder is. . . I can't delete it or access it or anything. I'll also have you know that I use nothing on my desktop, aside from the recycle bin. That's just how it looks

Berny · « **Reply #59 on:** December 01, 2003, 02:06:13 PM »

Oooo. Mario, wherever did you get that desktop? It is precious to us. We must have it. I won't put it up until I see the Return of the King, but it'd be nice to have.

KnowsNothing · « **Reply #60 on:** December 01, 2003, 03:04:25 PM »

I've gone on a mad rave getting SP desktops. Tee-hee.

Oh, and I just made the screen size thinger smaller so all the icons are teensy and there's more open area.

Caliban · « **Reply #61 on:** December 14, 2003, 04:13:46 AM »

This is how my current desktop looks like! The wallpaper is from an anime that I recentely finished watching, which is called "Asagiri no Miko". Each episode is only 12 minutes, and the series is only 26 episodes. I was in the mood to change the wallpaper after watching the series.

KnowsNothing · « **Reply #62 on:** December 14, 2003, 05:30:44 AM »

My new desktop

I had experimented with some kiera knightly/eliza dushku wallpapers but I decided to go back to scrapped princess and smack it in the face with some style. oh yeah...

Caliban · « **Reply #63 on:** December 14, 2003, 05:40:47 AM »

Eliza Dushku is Very Tasteful

!

KnowsNothing · « **Reply #64 on:** December 14, 2003, 07:51:39 AM »

I added Scary Monkey to my desktop

Berny · « **Reply #65 on:** December 14, 2003, 11:48:33 AM »

Ha ha ha! The freaky monkey and GIR at the bottom are very tasteful.

Bill Aurion · « **Reply #66 on:** December 14, 2003, 11:53:08 AM »

Heh, the opposite to me...It's sort of like a cleanly washed windshield with a couple bird droppings on it...

Here's my desktop

KnowsNothing · « **Reply #68 on:** December 14, 2003, 01:30:19 PM »

See this horrible mess?

That's the desktop on this computer. It's the most hideous thing I have ever seen. It's worse than PIAC's tubgirl pic. But my parents get mad if I change anything. And the worst part is, my little bother thinks it's better than mine!

Grey Ninja · « **Reply #69 on:** December 14, 2003, 01:38:18 PM »

Phew. Took me a bit of struggling to figure out where on earth my webdocs were located, but I finally found the directory it was located in, so without further ado, here is a picture of my new desktop!

Termin8Anakin · « **Reply #70 on:** December 15, 2003, 02:18:07 AM »

Hey! I know that pic, Ninja!
Digital Blaspehmy is a site i visit all the time

In fact, it was some of that guy's works and the ones in the user gallery that inspired me to make plans and draw my own F-Zero tracks, before Nintendo and Seag announced their partnership for AX/GX.

OK, so I changed my desktop again (it's a fairly regular cycle). Anyway, here it is.
