I'm not even sure what's actually *on* my desktop, I see it so infrequently...

/me will have to minimise some windows and get back to you on that.

Was Dragoon Age 2 worth it?  I found the original ok, but not something that keeps me playing it.

I got the Signature Edition since I was a huge fan of the first one (Despite the buggy combat and laggy graphics). It was worth it for sure, not least because of the BioWare humor in it. :D The combat is epic but sometimes a little jumpy and sometimes a little too frequent (the "random encounters" from the first game are like all over the place here). The story feels much bigger and all in-all I really liked it the first time I played. I  tried replaying it with a new character but it really kind of felt the same even though I tried to choose differently during all the key moments. It was more replay-able than the first one, though.
Importing a save from Origins was a bit disappointing. The developers bragged a whole lot about it but your choices don't really make much difference in the end.

But in the end it was totally worth it. The banter between companions really makes up for everything else :P

Go ahead and have it.  I got another one I use as my login screen which is cool as well :P
I borrowed them off 4chan when a epic wallpaper thread was active on /w/ (or was it /wg/?).  Haven't seen that good of a wallpaper thread since.

Attached my login window image as well.

I should mention that it is much easier to change the login window on macs :P Windows can do it, but it seems like they only designed it for OEMs (again they forget about their end user).

It's simple enough I'd say, just download a program that changes it for you :P Now I don't know how Mac does it but still.

Well for a mac either you replace the default image, or you run a simple command line option to change it.  You can also download software but where is the fun in that :P

I got windows to work though.  Had to do some regedit changes to get it to work.  Software didn't want to work :P  The method to change the login window is designed for OEMs to change it to do something like put their logo on it.

It needs to be simple thats it :P

I still love this... and still use it.

If it were up to me, every kid in school would spend their first year of computer science at the command prompt... exclusively.

You would have a 98% fall out rate with 1 student of the 50 who is like me and goes, whats the problem :P.  The other 49 would be trying to use a mouse still and complaining about how long commands are.

I used to have about 100 pictures from digital blasphemy going every 5 seconds on my old pc, but now that I'm using my dad's I keep it simple.

Would like a pic to go across both my monitors but I can't find a decent one as they are both different sizes. 1600x900/1440x900
