I see your problem.

Very much, I abhor paint, but it loads faster than Photoshop so I used it

As I mentioned I watched Hobo With A Shotgun which I thought was awesome. There are these cool pair of characters called "The Plague" and I wanted a wallpaper of them, this was the only decent thing I could find but it still looks cool. Thank goodness for Deviant Art.

But I would love to have a high res image of this still from the movie as my wallpaper.

Dear lord, you actually liked Hobo with a shotgun? I thought it was pure garbage. I expected it to be funny because it would be shit, but it was just the shit part.

JennyGenesis 12-23-2011 05:05 AM

I thought it was excellent and internet reviews I've read seem to agree, only thing I can't figure out is if the actors are just bad or the actors are intentionally being bad because it's a grindhouse movie.

Ridg3 12-23-2011 05:32 AM

Hobo with a Shotgun was unreal good as a film that wasn't meant to be taken at all seriously. It knew what it was doing and it did it well. Comical amounts of controversy, drugs, blood and decapitation down to a tee if you ask me.

Dynamithix 12-23-2011 06:41 AM

I suppose if you really like films like that, it's alright. I personally hated it.

Wings of Fire 12-23-2011 07:06 AM

Oh I loved Hobo with a Shotgun, and I thought I'd hate it.

One of the best genre parody films I've seen, hands down.

I've noticed a trend that today's desktops are squeaky clean. I just feel dirty.

Having fun playing Elder Scrolls in notepad? :p

Pilot 12-23-2011 10:37 PM

You haven't downloaded the text-based adventure?

JennyGenesis 12-24-2011 04:52 AM

Maybe I'm just weird, but I hate it when a wallpaper does not cover the entire resolution of the screen.

You're not alone on that one...

Yes.

Also, upscaling low-res images to fit a large monitor. Oh god the pixellation is awful.

JennyGenesis 12-24-2011 06:35 AM

Yep, that's my dilemma with that picture of The Plague I wanted from Hobo With A Shotgun. The picture I posted is actually a screenshot I took when the DVD was playing on my laptop and yeah, it goes all pixelated when I get it to fill my desktop.

Pilot 12-24-2011 10:10 AM

I'm the opposite, I hate when icons cover any part of my wallpaper picture, so a 'frame' is most suitable.

This is my family desktop at the moment. The background is a photograph taken near Helvellyn in the Lake District. I chose it cause it looks wintery/christmasy :)
Don't mind the mess of Steam games. :)

I once tried to climb Helvellyn in that weather a long time ago. I had to give up, because the snow was covering my waist.

Looks like Windows 95.

Nate 12-25-2011 06:22 PM

Looks like Windows 3.1 to me.

Crashpunk 12-26-2011 03:19 AM

Looks like Windows 1.0.

Phylum 12-26-2011 03:31 AM

It looks like DOS 6.

Right?

JennyGenesis 12-26-2011 03:52 AM

I love the icon named "The Internet"

New background. Reflects my mindset at the moment.

Wings of Fire 12-26-2011 04:35 AM

But why do you have a desktop icons folder on your desktop...

Ridg3 12-26-2011 04:46 AM

Because it looks much neater than having 31 extra icons cluttering up my screen, including a folder that has unused desktop icons.

I having a clear out of my hard-drive later on so I might say goodbye to most if not all of them.

It's none of those. -_-

It's Windows 7 with a different shell installed, I prefer it, and I chose to keep the old icons because I like them more. :happy:
