This looks legit.
Shoop-de-woop.

Dear god I hope we're out of photoshopping "memes".

Yes, but we're in the middle of another filler right now. Though, It's less boring than the one with the Bounto.

There are three shows I watch regularly each week, and it will be four on October 1st:
- Heroes
- Naruto Shippuden
- Bleach
- the new Stargate series (on October 1st)

I wish I had that many LEGO stormtroopers.

Nah, I googled it.

Nice :lol: For some reason I've never played any of the Monkey Island games but I did play Grim Fandango.

Some time I need to play through all the old classics that I've never played before...

I was bored, so I pirated a copy of Windows 7 that was open sourced, allowing me to view the code. Using that and alot of internet assistance and the help of various programs, i have created an awesome desktop.

Spoiler: click to toggle

I removed my Windows Vista taskbar and modified the Windows 7 one to sit on the top of the screen while stripping the background of the bar out. I changed some icons to a more metallic style I found in a download.

On the left center is a new Start Menu button, with curved lines around it showing the memory filled in my C and D drives, as well as CPU usage (updating every second) and a total RAM meter.

On the center right is a really awesome clock. All the circular lines on it move in a track around it, some clockwise, some counterclockwise.

In the middle, towards the bottom a bit is a weather application that pings thefuckingweather.com with my zipcode and updates the results every 5 minutes. I also have another version that includes a 2 day forecast, but decided I didn't like the ton of text.

Most noticeable is the Heads-Up-Display (HUD). Unfortunately, its entirely aesthetic and has no function besides making it look like I'm viewing my space wallpaper from a starfighter. The design in based off of a Halo HUD. I had the most help with this one because I'm not artistic at all; the parts for it came from someone else's screenshot.

What do you think? I'm not done with it and hope to do alot more. B)

That's pretty freak'n sweet if you ask me. I guess the only thing I'd personally dislike about it, is not having a practical place to put the desktop icons. If you could find a HUD with some sort of programs window to put the icons, that would make it better.

But that may just be my personal taste. Otherwise I think its very pleasing to the eyes.
