Korea's economy would revolve around Pac-Man instead.

Starcraft? Like, do you have a replacement for it? HUH? Starcraft 2 maybe? EH? EH?? *poke with sharp stick* Do ya? Huh? Starcraft is the only rts game I was ever on the verge of liking. And that means a lot. Don't belittle it. Besides, where would we be today without Starcraft? Huh? "kekeke zerg rush ^__________________^" anyone?

Legionnaired: http://www.nerdusa.com/index.php?cat=13 That's the template I used, which is pretty obvious looking at it. I keep meaning to take all the little ..:: stuff out, as it's awfully trend-whoreish, but I'm too lazy.
It's called tsdesk, and was invented by people on the something awful forums. Which leads to...

Hey, neat, more people using my desktop tutorial thing. I mean, true credit goes to SA Forums Goon ThirtyseveN for putting the tsdesk thing together in the first place, but it's nice to see more and more people using tsdesk.

And yeah, the . . : : stuff + the all-lowercase thing is pretty trend-whorish. Also too lazy over here. I was trying to come up with some other little 'decorations' that looked nice. Plain text was just a little boring.

(and SA Forums = best :10bux: I've ever spent online)

I'm probably the only one who can think of several long-term BENEFITS to starcraft never existing... one of which is fewer blizzard fanboys screaming praise about anything, no matter how shallow, mindless, and ^^ty it is, with a blizzard logo on it. And a good reason for hating blizzard is "starcraft: ghost" and "starcraft 2" for very obvious reasons.

I see no obvious reason for hating Starcraft 2 except for it's absence. Ghost is indeed quite obvious.

And the wallpaper, fear the FLCL Uranium.

Hey, someone's been checking their referrer logs I see. ; )

Yeah, thanks for the tutorial. With that to work with (and reading every page of that ten mile long thread) I managed to get the desktop pretty much the way I wanted it.

While you're here, jump on the server and play some natural selection with us. It's the game of champions.

While I fully agree with your sentiments about Blizzard fanboyism (just because WoW is made by Blizzard doesn't mean that it will automatically own, you know? To err is human, ok? Heck, it's a MMORPG. You should know better than having faith), I haven't heard anything about SC: Ghost that sounds really bad. So? So I'll check the reviews when it's done, and base my decision of purchase on that.
Can't speak about SC 2. It's been announced? Didn't know.

devicenull · January 19, 2004, 06:36:59 PM

And yes, I use almost all of that stuff.. and no thats not the resolution I run at
And all the blurred icocns some of you may recognize and realize why

Bob, where can I get the basic html for that?

Venmoch · January 20, 2004, 02:43:18 AM

I suppose I'll have to now.....

Isamil · January 20, 2004, 04:19:21 AM

Heh, your adaware icon is a virus.

Venmoch · January 20, 2004, 04:24:48 AM

Yeah that was the remnants of the previous desktop.

I just can't be bothered to change it!

Jefe · January 20, 2004, 07:23:01 AM

There is a conspicous absence of tentacles, Venmoch.

Start using this as your wallpaper

And yes hmm about that,

Reasons for hating WoW without having played it: Diablo sucked and was in no shape or form an RPG. ###### it was just a point-click action game, hardly more then what someone could program into a flash game easilly. D2 even moreso. If D1 and D2 is anything to go by, I'm not reserving any faith in them.

Reasons for hating SC:G without having played it: 3 words: X-Box Exclusive Title. Also after Renegade, I dont' really trust another company famous for its RTS game to make an FPS.

Reasons for hating SC:2 without having played it: FFS it's been how many damn years? This is just insulting now...

Ghost is being developed for all three major consoles. Unless they've cancelled it for the GameCube and the PS2 without me hearing about it (or GameSpy for that matter).

Architeuthis · January 20, 2004, 01:14:11 PM

OH NO THE X-BOX IS MADE BY MICROSOFT WE HAVE TO HATE IT NOW

Actually that'd be nice if you've got it in 1600x1200. I like blankish wallpapers, as busy ones tend to make the text hard to read.

Anarki3x6 · January 20, 2004, 06:00:21 PM

I thought I read a few months ago it was only x-box.

But Console Exclusive is as good a reason to hate it as x-box x-clusive (badum-tiss?)

Consoles: Stupid machines for stupid people. Blizzard hit negative numbers on my respect meter when I heard it was for consoles. God there's sometimes I wish I could afford a rifle and have a nice perch into a board meeting room...
