Lol! Don't worry man, the alien head stays forever! I changed the avatar a couple times over my run here at GameTavern but this is the original avatar I first had and I'm keeping it for good. Maybe I'll go for the sig-less look for now.

Cyrax9 03-04-2002 10:01 PM

hey man, I'm just glad you're keeping the Alien Head, it's probably what influcenced my PC purchase right along with the bright Yellow Case, I didn't care about much on my PC except How fast can it go, What color is it, and is it made by Alienware? Those were the three questions I asked whenever I looked at it before buying.

GameMaster 03-04-2002 10:18 PM

Gee, who would guess my avatar would influence the type of computer one purchases?! Uh, glad I could help you out! :D BTW, can you post a picture of you're computer? I like to see it if it isn't too much to ask. :D

Cyrax9 03-05-2002 10:13 PM

I'm sending you a pic now, I had to rescan it, but ti should work, it was taken around Christmas.

GameMaster 03-05-2002 10:49 PM

Thats cool looking! :D

Cyrax9 03-06-2002 07:42 PM

Thanks, except the desktop has been changed to a "Star Trek" Desktop, and there are alot more shortcuts on the desktop, because I'm too lazy to use the start menu. There's also a cable modem by the system now.

Ric 03-08-2002 12:05 PM

COOL.... hey your keyboard looks similar to mine except mine's blue, is yours made by vivanco?

Cyrax9 03-08-2002 08:14 PM

Actually, if you want to know the truth the invoice records it as an ANTEC 107-ENHANCED KEYBOARD and the website lists it as an "exclusive Alienware design", which is apparently true, because they aren't availble from anyone else, the box labeled it as "Antec 107-Keyboard Nova Yellow", and it looks like reghular Antec keyboards, plus all the magazines that review the Alienware PC's show the same Keyboard and name, so it's probably the exclusive Antec Keyboard. I would have had an Antec Mid-Tower case, but I got an Upgrade to a DRagon Full-Tower Case, which was very helpful for upgrades which I've done myself.

Ric 03-09-2002 11:20 AM

Oh ok, mines got loads of little fiddly buttons on (which I have yet to install the drivers for on this PC) like one is a power button, press it and the whole PC shuts down, then theres sleep, wake, DOS key, eject, close and loads of other crudd that I dont really use.

Yeahm this has Power Sleep, and Wake buttons, but they're the size of regular keys, and usualy crash on most systems, so I just don't use them. My old Gateway keyboard had a bunch of useless shortcut buttons, but they could have added alot more useful ones instead, I really hated a "volume" button, when I have ones on my speakers, a shortcut to DOS would be great though.

I dont use mine, you can have it, lol.

GameMaster 03-11-2002 01:30 AM

Ric, are black posts and green member names your trademark? :D

Ric 03-11-2002 09:08 AM

YES someone finally commented on it, here Gamemaster2002 have some free cacti beer, anyway why do I do it. Well there's a number of reasons. I like to write in different colours because that way I can identify my own posts very quickly should I need to. Also I feel it personalises my account somewhat, sure we have a sig and all but I wanted to fiddle around and exploit more options. I highlight peoples names because then they can see their name standing out and know I am talking about them. Also it kind of personalises it to that person. Anyway there it is.

Revival 03-11-2002 02:41 PM

I like Ric's colored posts.. I don't read them unless I see my name in them ;)

Nah.. just kidding, but I do like the colors.. it adds a nice touch.

GameMaster 03-11-2002 09:47 PM

Gee Ric, thanks for the beer :D And that highlight just made my day all the more special. Here's to you buddy :beerchug:

My alien avatar is enough for me to find my posts. Since it's black and white and flashes. BTW, sorry my name is kinda long. Call me GM or GameMaster if you want. I plan on editing out the 2002 in the future.

You can pay 200 doubloons to have your name changed, and you keep everything else, just the name changes. If you are interested, you can post in the Treasure Trove forum.

Ric 03-12-2002 12:04 PM

Oh this is news to me, and it sucks, it used to be you get one name change, you shouldnt be charged. You should however be charged if you change it again after that though. Hey anyway you'll pay for it for him wont you Shooter it's not as if you couldnt spare a few dblns, I still think you hacked into it somehow:sneaky:

This guy has a point. What do you say Shooter? For old time's sake? :D

Revival 03-13-2002 04:33 PM

You want me to pay for his name change?


Ehh.. I'll think about it.

Ric 03-13-2002 06:27 PM

Right anyway, back to the reason this thread started, heres my desktop, my new one :).

Cyrax9 03-15-2002 10:43 PM

These are great guys, keep 'em rollin' in. Shooter, what can I say, I love Mac desktops! Oh, and Ric, you're floppy Disk Icon is amazing, I should make one with my Icon editor for myself, I should also do the CD-ROM Drive.

jshrimp3 03-16-2002 10:08 AM

Why, thankyou verry much Cyrax BTW what icon programme do you have, my one can only support 16 colours annoyingly enough.

The original icon I made was just a disk, then I decided to colour it in. Here's the original if you want it.

jshrimp3 03-16-2002 04:24 PM

GameMaster 03-17-2002 02:54 PM

Way to use those art programs! :D

Thank's Ric, I'm using EasyApps' EasyIcons98 and IconEasel98 which were $30 together online for a lisence key, and a CD in the mail. I'm posting my updated Desktop, which has a floppy that's Similar to yours. I actually drew it before I made the post asking about your floppy Icon. Also I added "lines" in mine to make it looklike it was a real dsik, here, have a look at the updated Desktop. It's still pretty cluttered, but I did delete some stuff.

Ric 03-18-2002 10:44 AM

Cool disk.

Bloody hell, a bit cluttered, your whole screen is covered. I put all my stuff in folders, hey it takes a few seconds longer to access but I am trying to keep my new 40Gb hard drive tidy, no easy task I can tell you.

OMG You actually got that Simpsons Patch for Doom to work. I tried time and again but to no avail. That was a few years back now though, I don't even have doom anymore.

jshrimp3 03-18-2002 03:56 PM

uhhh...Cyrax? why do u have Power Rangers icons?

Power Rangers are coming back.

Cyrax9 03-18-2002 09:41 PM

Thanks guys, keep the desktops coming. :)

Ric, I know it's more cluttered than half of my room, but I like easy access to most programs that I use alot, or don't store in one central folder.

GameMaster2002, I'm glad to see somebody isn't looking at me like an idiot. The "Power Rangers" Icons were Downloaded from a site dedicated to the Japanese version of the show called "Sentai", not to be confused with "Hentai", for those of you who've seen that kind of stuff (OK, we probably all have,even if it was a glimpse). Sentai has been on for 26 years now in Japan, and Power Rangers has been on for Nine, alopthough alot of people seem to count it as 10 years, by my math "2002 - 1993 = 9", unless I'm missing something. Since last year was the 25th anniversary of Sentai, there was a movie made called "GaoRanger Vs. Sentai", which took the newest sentai, GaoRanger, and had them fight along side one member from each of the other 25 seasons. While I was looking for Sentai Info, as well as downloadable video's (specifically Megaranger Vs. Carranger, because if it were released in the USA it would either have a "PG-13" or "R" rating for extreme language and violence, plus I like the megaranger storline), Istubled upon a site that had sevreal links to sentai sites and one had Downloadable Wallpaper, Cursors, and Icons. If you ever see the little Blue "gun-thing, that's the japanese "Mega Sniper cursor" I Downloaded, along with several Icons, and more cursors, which were then propmtly scanned for viruses, with none found. If you were to look at the file names, they don't say "Power Rangers" for the downloads, for example the "power Rangers in Space" Icon heads don't say "Pink Ranger, Silver Ranger, Yellow Ranger", they say "Mega Pink Mega Silver, and Mega Yellow", and the zip file is labled Megaranger from that series. Try looking at weapon,morpher, and robot names, and it gets even harder without a preview.

Anyway, I know it's only a small change, but herte's my newest desktop update. Take a close look at the toolbar, this isn't Windows XP, that's pretty obvious, it's Windows ME.

GameMaster 03-19-2002 01:38 AM

Hey, I really like that Alienware icon :D

The_Dunadan 03-19-2002 09:19 PM

man you have a lot on your desktop!!!

why do so many ppl use morpheus, it isn't that good. kazaa is wayyyyy better. and when u finally realize this, kazaa will let u transfer all your downloads over from morpheus.

GameMaster 03-19-2002 10:09 PM

Kazaa is wack. :p ;) Just kidding. Uh, I use LimeWire.

Cyrax9 03-20-2002 10:49 PM

Thanks GameMaster, I like the alien head too, he's azn uneditable Icon, so he'll always be there.

As far as Morpheus Goes, It's now cut-off from Kazza completly, and is running on the Gnutella Server in a beta mode afetr the Kazza-style server was hacked. I like the new Morpheus better than the old one, and since Kazza is on a bad server, apparently they had some problems too, I'm not going to use it as a third file-sharer, I've already Got Morpheus and WinMX, I don't need anything else. It seems that if it's not on WinMX, it's on Morpheus, and Vice-versa. I almost tried Kazza, but I didn't like what I heartd about it as much, especially after my uncle DLed movies off of morpheus and watched them once before deleteing them, thus saving a trip to blockbuster, I did the same thing, and it worked just fine. WinMX is still my favorite for finding very obscure stuff, such as themes from the Sentai Series' that I have those Icons from. I even have the songs in English and Japanese, all from WinMX. I also have some FF music that's nearly impossible to find.
