Rules:

1. Respect the AUP

2. Re-size the images or make direct links

3. If you have something ultra-cool on your desktop, post the name of what it is

4. If you can, try and post a wallpaper source

I always put a picture, promo image or screenshot of my current Vlambeer project in the background. It reminds me where I should be heading instead of Facebook & with the artists we hire, its bound to be pretty too.

No icons, I start everything by pressing Start, entering the first few letters of where I need to be going and slamming the return key.

Soon, it'll be sporting a ridiculous sunset with a fisherman in a boat.

Attached is mine. Both my monitors, so the image is pretty huge. As you can see I enjoy my desktop to be very clean and neat. The bottom bar is a RocketDock and it slides off the screen when I mouse away.

Rami, I get so pumped up whenever I see your guys' work over at Vlambeer. You guys make it seem so easy to get projects done and showcased at events. Sick wallpaper!

Americans and South Koreans, for the most part, can't. Most others can, but it's a bit difficult

Aww, thanks, man. Believe me, it's not easy, but seeing your hard work played by hundreds of thousands is so worth it.

I did too. In fact, I collected the cards and competed in little tournaments every sunday at Toys 'R Us when I was like 9 lol. I manage to hate Pokemon as an adult though lol.

Not to turn this into a thread about pokemon though lol.
