I should probably clean up my desktop sometime.

You got a double monitor setup I take it?

Havoc 12-07-2011 10:42 AM

No, just a really wide monitor...

sligpatrol 12-08-2011 02:25 AM

i have a massive slig as my background i will post a picture later on because at the moment im a school.

JennyGenesis 12-08-2011 02:37 AM

And you needed to tell us this why?

Just wait till you get home and post the picture.

That's a cool wallpaper, but the little text next to GLaDOS is unnecessary.

STM 12-09-2011 02:06 PM

I unno, the // sort of make it look right. I suppose it's a recognisavle quotation, that being said I've never played the game so I couldn't tell.

Wings of Fire 12-09-2011 02:37 PM

I object to the capitalization of monster, considering she says the whole thing in a deadpan voice.

skychase sic background

skychase sic [sic] background
I'm sorry everyone, it had to be done.

JennyGenesis 12-12-2011 06:33 AM

Were you referring to this?

MeechMunchie 12-12-2011 09:25 AM

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sic

It's a joke. MoxCo. has quoted sligpatrol as saying 'sic background', but has presumed that sligpatrol really meant to type 'sick', what with all the backwards-talk the cool kids are using these days.

MoxCo. has given a disclaimer which effectively means 'I didn't make this mistake, it was in the original post'. This, hilariously, is also "[sic]".

Crashpunk 12-12-2011 11:58 AM

Hahaha, Care to post this 'Sic' background?

MA 12-12-2011 12:56 PM

his background is sicker than your background.

did i do it right?

Crashpunk 12-13-2011 03:35 PM

My background is actual sick so I doubt it.

Nate 12-13-2011 05:38 PM

This is my current work desktop background. Give it a second for your eye to take in what you're seeing...

The following two are the pics I use for my Galaxy Tab 10.1 wallpaper and lockscreen, respectively. The wallpaper is particularly effective, because it actually scrolls from right to left as you shift through the lists of icons. And with the lockscreen, I aligned the picture so that the lock pattern is right on top of the moon.

The last picture is beautiful!

Mudokon_Master 12-14-2011 02:30 AM

That first picture took me a while to understand but now I'm really fond of it. And the last two are just gorgeous.

Crashpunk 12-14-2011 09:18 AM

I actually made the second one my background :) My monitor isn't all that great, It would look amazing on a better monitor.

I love Sonic the Hedgehog :D

EDIT: Shoot, thanks for telling me, I didn't even think of that. Ugh stoopid me. Fix'd!

Dynamithix 12-14-2011 09:47 AM

Uhh, might want to hide those Uni passwords and the ID. Or not, I don't know. Anyway, nice wallpaper.

JennyGenesis 12-14-2011 03:40 PM

I take it that the wallpaper refers to Stardust Speedway from Sonic CD?

Anyway, awesome wallpaper and a nice selection of games I can see in the desktop icons.

Nate 12-20-2011 04:20 AM

I changed both my home and my work desktop images. Both of them are photos I took on my last trip to the USA. (click for full size)

Chihuli blown glass ceiling in the lobby of the Bellagio in Las Vegas:



This one might look like Mudokon native art, but it might actually have been inspiration for OWI's designers, rather than the other way round. It's a Polynesian painting on bark cloth from Indonesian Papua. I saw it in the De Young Museum in San Francisco (which I would recommend to anyone with an interest in tribal art).

The cleanest it's been in a while...

EDIT: Fixed

Dynamithix 12-22-2011 09:42 AM

Dear lord, that wallpaper.

JennyGenesis 12-22-2011 11:03 AM

That is a lot of icons...

Crashpunk 12-22-2011 11:39 AM

That has got to be one of the worst desktops I've ever seen.

RoryF 12-22-2011 01:05 PM

What happened to the top of the image? It's sort of cut off...
Also, why two recycle bins, or is it just the image screwing up?
