Guild Wars: Eye of the North brought yet another game full of breathtaking level design. I just couldn’t help taking screenshots, and this one works well as a wallpaper. Will upload it along with others later on.

In celebration of the upcoming release (and sneak peek in a few hours!).

p.s. Looking for casual players to play through this. I play (on the average) 1 hour a day during weekdays, up to 5 hours on weekends.

Finally got a desk for my new apartment (woot no more ghetto pc setup on boxes). Had to reinstall Windows when I first returned because I think I deleted some system hardware info before going back to Singapore at the start of summer (an attempt to use my drive back home, which failed because I gave up halfway as it was taking too long). Yea anyway, so I needed to do some quick modding, and this is the result.

Have yet to find a proper winamp skin that matches, but this will do for now. Also, I plan to upgrade to a 21.6″ monitor next week, so I’ll have to update it to fit the new screen.

Oh, I’m not playing RO right now (although I used to play it quite awhile back), but I wanted to use a video game wallpaper for a change, and I found this.

This one may not last that long as I intend to do a format by next weekend.

Not quite February yet, but felt that I needed a change.

New year, new desktop.

Comments:
the Zune VS isn’t the best, but at the moment I can’t find anything else more suitable. I’m not 100% satisfied yet, may make some changes over the next few days.

Customized the VS via Display Properties > Appearance > Advanced

Comments:
Menu in bottom-left is accessible by right-clicking anywhere on desktop.
My max window size is set such that I am left with desktop space to click on at the bottom of the screen, allowing for easy access to the right-click menu.

Icons under the glass in the center of the screen are the taskbar / system tray.

Colorful icons in right-click menu are from Textures icons by Dark Project

I still have my taskbar and tray at the bottom, but they’re usually hidden (fade-in on mouse over).
Click here if you’re interested to see them.

Just a quick newsflash:

My (90%) Complete GeoShell Tutorial was previously restricted to the linked forum registered members only. I’ve fixed this, and now anyone should be able to view it.

Areao4 VS + Protopage = Sexy Simplicity.

This morning, I switched on my computer and it booted into Windows as normal. Then, Windows shut down on its own. It never booted back up.

Luckily, a simple Windows reinstall worked. However, my desktop was looking ugly with the default WinXP crayola theme. Quickly browsed DeviantArt for a VS to use, found Areao4. Remembered seeing someone on GeoShell.org use Protopage, so decided to get one for myself. 1 hour and 30 minutes later, I’m loving my desktop.

Unfortunately, I’m extremely behind time with my work, so I haven’t gotten to fully explore and setup my Protopage. Will get done with it and post links Wednesday evening, after my exam.
