Title: January + February Desktops
Post by: D2Disciple on January 14, 2010, 06:38:07 PM
The previous one got way off topic... And it's 2010! So show us you're new and improved desktop - because we all know your New Year's Resolution was to reorganize all those files and folders and things, right?   ;)

Mine: Lamborghini Gallardo on a clear Windows 7 Aero theme with (third party utility) RocketDock holding all my icons.

Here's mine; the background is from some Half Life 2 mod i saw on the ModDb a while ago, but I can't remember what mod it was lol.  I just saw the screenshot and thought it was pretty amazing looking.  And sorry for the big size, maybe someone could tell me how you guys shrink it down to the thumbnailed link?

Insanity, Shiva station is supposed to be in orbit around Earth, not some other planet. :P

That image comes straight from D1. complain to them

(and when you are done with that, complain to them how you see shiva near some other outer planets in the briefings)

 ::) Take a joke. I remeber now. I hardly ever look at those briefings.

Notice what the fox is eating.

BTW - that "equation" is completely wrong.  "And" means add.  "Of" means multiply.  (I've seen that picture on so many websites and that keeps bugging me for some reason).

It's not eating anything, it's just yawning. :P

Of course, if the creature has bad breath... :P x2

I always use low-res spacy images, so here's a modification of that theme -- a badly rendered grassland

I should add some trees and a gothic monastery. Would add to the theme

I could see Flight Back looking something like that. It would look good as it is.

So that's what you see in the foreground in the Uranus briefings?  I thought those were the orbital processing stations where you re-armed and re-fueled after each level (Dravis mentions that in the level 1 briefing), and the Martian one was mentioned in Descent Equinox if I remember right (Eta-Sigma Station).

One mess-up I noticed in the D1 briefings is that they switched the names of level 20 and 21.  (The briefings call level 20 Oberon Platinum Mine and level 21 Oberon Iron Mine, but the actual titles of the levels are reversed as you see in the automap and the end-level scores).

In the end briefing, "PTMC" is actually misspelled (spelt PMTC). :P

I had always assumed those stations in the briefings were like sister stations to Shiva, and served as something like refueling stations, like Alter-Fox suggested, and probably just a place for MD to stop off and rest after blowing up a mine or two.

Though, they DO look eerily identical to Shiva. :P

The sky in that picture looks incredible.

Maybe it's a common design plan.

Here's me desktop for February.  I had this as my background a few months ago but I really really like this picture so it's going to be my desktop picture again.  I think it's of the German Graf Zeppelin on an expedition to the north pole, but I can't 100% remember.  The picture stood out to me because of my [nerdy] fascination with the steampunk scene.

Cool Darc!

Heh, my computer likes to reorganize my icons for me.  ::)
