どうして?お前が夜に自身お触れるから。
Long ago in a distant land, I, Aku, the shape-shifting Master of Darkness, unleashed an unspeakable evil,
but a foolish samurai warrior wielding a magic sword stepped forth to oppose me. Before the final blow
was struck, I tore open a portal in time and flung him into the future, where my evil is law! Now, the fool
seeks to return to the past, and undo the future that is Aku...

Yes but that is an additional key that I have to hit, also you can't use the taskbar when you are in that mode... :(

This has been my desktop for the past couple of years now, on all my computers/computer accounts. That bright dot just inside the G ring, at 10 o'clock, is Earth (it's right next to the CoH icon).

Oh my God I can see forever! *_*

Anyway here's my current one.

Current Desktop

No idea where I picked it up, though it was in my unsorted images folder so 4chan most likely.

I HAVE A NEW MONITOR!

Image

1680x1050 is a big jump up from 1024x768. I think I need to get a video card so I can watch some hi-def videos. All I've got is Intel integrated graphics, and I don't think it's up to the job (video frames are slower than the audio).

Needed a bigger background after upgrading my monitor, and I found this kicking around my machine.

I had a great poster of Keeley on my cell's wall for most of the last two years. I kept it as a reminder that there were better things in life than what was surrounding me, and frankly she was a damn sight better looking than the people around me.

The day I left Port Phillip I gave that poster to a mate of mine, with the proviso that he return it to me when he gets out. I meant it as a good luck charm (he has to get out now, because he has to return the poster to me! :)).
