can haz L3WT!
My widescreen monitor dreams came true - Gerald bought me a new 20" LCD for Christmas. Yay for best sibling! I picked out a couple of possibles on newegg.ca, and we discussed prices and sizes, settled on one, and ordered it. It arrived on Wednesday, and there really is nothing like more screen real-estate. Easier to do work on it!
new desk - top.
I've decided to just run the single screen and save my laptop's screen for when I'm mobile. I've noticed the laptop screen getting a little bit iffy over the past few weeks. Right now the cable clutter behind the laptop and the screen is unimaginable. I'm also running low on USB ports (there are only 3 on the T60). I went and got the keyboard yesterday.
Desktop wallpaper ganked from the amazing Orioto's game remake art. This one is from Worms. Ain't it a beauty? I've also used the FFIII (SNES), the Lemmings, and the Zelda ones.
The little white case at the bottom of the picture (what a mismatch) is the Nintendo DS Lite. I bought it 2nd-hand off a dude last week for a very decent price. He had bought it a couple years ago, but shunned it for the PSP, saying that "the DS isn't for hardcore gamers". I almost rejected the sale right there, but I wanted it too badly. I'm currently playing The World Ends with You, it's pretty awesome.
I was telling J all about the guy later on, and he was reading this review of Chrono Trigger, this first line of which goes, When it comes to Role-Playing Games there are essentially two groups: those who have played Chrono Trigger and those who haven’t. I balked at that. Come on. If you really want to be so pedantic about it, then when it comes to RPGs, there are two types of gamers - those who've played D&D and those who've not.
'strewth.
