I could have sworn we had such a thread, but it might be too old to resurrect.

Word.

I'm a bit of a minimalist when it comes to icons on my desktop. I prefer my shortcuts to be in the task bar, so I can see them no matter what screen I'm on. This is the desktop on my old machine, the one I'm on when I'm not streaming or playing games. This is where I do all of my art.

Yes, this is what happens when you merge artist with geek... star wars galaxies screenshot desktops. Of bothans. In meadows. Of course last months was even cheezier. It was my TIE fighter. /eyeroll

This is mine. Pretty neat, huh? Granted I spent a while cleaning it first, and I had to change pics since the one I had was... shall we say... not suitable for children. ;) I use this pic pretty often too, though.

LOL Regi.

I knew someone would mention that! Damn the burden of having kids who like computer games. :P

Yeah I played the card game religiously through the alpha and beta sets back in high school. Still got a few decks and some alpha cards worth some phat bucks. Remind me to tell the sad story of my alpha decks some day. :)

The video game absolutely rocks. I got Magic Online a while ago and tried it, but I couldn't stand it. The play style was SO convoluted and I didn't want to subject anyone to me having to read every single card that was in play, it seems that being a noob in there with all those post-beta cards and expansions is hellish, I don't even want to subject myself to it. So I stick with the single-player game (with the Planeswalkers expansion), because it's still to this day the best strategy game in existence, great for killing an hour of thought. :)

Hit printscreen with your desktop up. Pic should go to "My Pictures", I think.

Then, just attach the file in your post.

((EDIT: Ewps, missed a step. When you printscreen, it copies the image to your clipboard. You have to paste it into a picture viewer program and then save it as a file.))

It's fun as hell... I've been playing since I was in middle school. I've got way too many cards now... I really should think about selling some rofl.

Very minimalistic! I used to have a ton of icons.
but I found a much better way (look at my startmenu tweak).
(like being able to reach anything anywhere from anyplace :)

I also use a double height taskbar,
I always end up with 30 programs at least once during a day :P
I multitask, but the system don't hehe!
