First off: From Brad Wardell's blog:

I'm going to write more on this later when I'm not so annoyed but I'm REALLY getting tired hearing from game developers who blame piracy for their game's poor sales.

If you make a game for the console demographic, don't expect to make huge PC sales, okay? Oh, and if you make your game require hardware that only a couple million users have, guess what? You're not going to sell a lot of units.

More later.

So... what game or games do you think he's talking about?

Secondly, showing off my desktop.

A wonderful combination of things, including your imagination since Gamespot is not recognizing the @ in my Flickr link :(

Windows 7 provides the basis of everything, obviously. This is easily my favorite Windows to date, not to mention my favorite OS these days. I've used Windows 3.x, 95, 98/98SE, Me, XP and just a few times Vista. I've also used Mac OS8, OS9, OSX 10.0, 10.1, 10.2 and 10.4. Add in a little Redhat and BeOS? A bit more than the average bear.

The wallpaper is something I found from Lifehacker's wallpaper roundup. Its calledDo a Barrel Roll by someone named Orioto. A beautiful piece of work in honor of Starfox.

Now, you may notice that things don't quite look like normal Windows, and you'd be right. First off I've got my superbar up top, Mac **** Secondly, you'll notice the interface doesn't quite look like Windows. That's thanks to a program called Windowblinds... I changed the theme of the UI (using their "Corporate" theme right now). In the second screenshot you'll see how all the windows have been rolled up instead of minimizing? That's another Mac ****c-ism that Apple stopped doing but I freakin' loved. Windowblinds lets me do that too! I'm pretty happy with the program, to say the least :D

Now, what's not obvious is I'm using another program called Fences. On the right side you'll see My Computer, My Documents, a folder called Public and my Recycle Bin. Those will not move; Fences lets me make "fences" to keep things in. On top of that, and not seen, is in the bottom left-hand corner there's actually a fence with icons for Google Chrome, Zune Player and Windows Live Photo Galllery. However, I've got Fences set up to hide/show not only that fence (called "regular apps") but anything on my desktop that's not in a fence when I double-click on the desktop.

Just thought I'd share ^_^
