Desktop (http://i14.photobucket.com/albums/a335/shaddamIV/Desktop-1.jpg)

Unfortunately, the Internet is slow so I can probably only upload my desktop.

http://i8.photobucket.com/albums/a47/DarkSideOfTheSpoon/desktop2.jpg

Windows XP with StyleXP running an Apples theme with a dock on the desktop. The background pic is a mixture of that blue Mac background and a painting of the opening of Aussie parliament that I chucked together in Photoshop.

I don't enjoy all those icons, the ones I use most are on the shortcut bar thing and I just use the Start menu to get to my downloads, pictures, etc. in My Documents.

Yeah, that's kind of how I got mine.

Of course, you don't have a hot robot pop star for your background, so I still win.

Oops posted some of my wiki bot code lol oh well

I'll be damned if I can remember her name right now but are you talking the one from Ratchet and Clank III? Because I swear that boss fight was one of the most irritating boss fights in any platformer ever.

Courtney Gears.;)

She was a frigging tank in both regular and challenge mode...I must've unloaded about half of my weapons' ammo, including my V8 Omega N90 and my Decimator, taking out her and the backup dancers. I mean, how on Earth does a human-sized female robot popstar take more damage than a dropship or a gigantic queen alien? Not only that, but you don't actually kill her...

Well, that's the order of boss fights for you. In any game, boss fights always get harder as you progress through the story, regardless of logic. You'd be surprised at how often boss fights early in the game are a lot easier than fights against normal enemies in later stages. Sad, but true.

At least she's a classic Ratchet and Clank character now. After the somewhat burped up game of Ratchet: Deadlocked I'm quite curious to see what the PS3 game will be about.

(And to be honest I'm a little surprised by this, Vetalia. I wouldn't have thought you were a gamer, given your extensive economic knowledge and altogether education. Not to say anything bad against gamers, but usually gamers tend not to know as much about everything else, even us intelligent gamers that love to debate politics. Gaming takes up too much of their time for them to educate themselves, is what I mean.)

True. That's especially important it makes sense if the characters are getting better (especiailly in games like Baldur's Gate I and II where your average monster at the end of the game is harder than the NPCs you have to fight in the earlier quests).

However, I was never really a fan of the "make the enemies harder but don't give the player any new abilities" because it seemed like a cop-out more than a challenge.

At least she's a classic Ratchet and Clank character now. After the somewhat burped up game of Ratchet: Deadlocked I'm quite curious to see what the PS3 game will be about.

It looks like it's going to return to the real R&C style, especially considering the way the graphics look and the fact that the mobile and PSP games have done a 180 degree turn from Deadlocked back to the lighter style of the earlier games.

I'm looking forward to that, and there's rumors of another Jak and Daxter title for the PS3. I've always been a huge fan of platformers, so that would be great.

The main reason why I can balance them so well is mainly because I'm doing economics and finance as part of my degree, and so I get a lot of exposure with the material in a more condensed timeframe. Also, thanks to the internet I can get basic information about pretty much anything in seconds and follow up on the more interesting or important things at any time. It leaves time for gaming by using my time more efficiently, and then I can still balance with other interests...I've gotten pretty good at time management over the past few years.

(The only downside is that my PS2 is back home so I only have computer games down at college...even so, at least I know I'll get to buy my PS3 when I come back in March.)

Neither really. Game I signed NDA for and conversations.

Now all I need to do is learn how to be as efficient as you are, and I'm set.

Pantless: ...you...you were a beta tester?! Wow. Just...just wow. I'd love to be a beta tester for games, lemme tell ya. Probably the only thing when it comes to game production that I'd be good at other than coming up with ideas(since I'm horrible at programming, graphics design, and other stuff.)

Why do you have a shortcut to My Documents on your desktop when you could just click on the actual My Documents?


Anyway, here is mine. Its a picture of the Chicago red line just before it goes underground between Fullerton and North/Clybourn

Just standard, uninteresting desktop mess. Nothing worth posting, really.

If I had my own computer, it'd be a memorable image, I'll give you that much.
