@Kurgan:

I can get it up to 67 kbytes, but that's overkill.

My latest creation:

Now you guys cannot say she doesn't look hot in those pics! I bet even Shen would give her one!

I think she looks like an ugly cow, but I guess that's just me...

Kurgan · Post by **Kurgan** » 31 May 2006, 00:09

Did your PC crash in between posts there Tom? If so, that's one time I am glad Windows died on its arse

And why upload at 67k? Isn't 13k enough? Not that I have any knowledge on these things...

Tom: who's the cute asian chick on your desktop?
(Grim mode: is that Zhang Ziyi? I loved her in Shanghai Knights!)

I agree about the ugly cow. Just way too much make-up and a dumb outfit. Doesnt come close to a Shakira or Beyonce.

I'll butt in here Yi: Vicky Zhao Wei, if I'm not mistaken...

And to IM, she looks alright in those pics; there are plenty floating round the aether where she looks much better.

Nope, I just like to switch wallpapers manually from time to time.

On the ED2K network, you can download faster if you upload faster.
Bigger upload -> More credits -> Better download rate.

Yi wrote:who's the cute asian chick on your desktop?

That's Vicki Zhao Wei (So Close, Shaolin Soccer, Jade Goddess of Mercy, Warriors of Heaven and Earth, etc...)

I won't continue this much further (contravening all sorts of rules with this conversation, I'll bet) but I will say that I tend to work at 13k and don't have much problem with the eMule download rate...

To drag this back on topic, a rather clean looking desktop I think...

You may say empty, but that's a matter of opinion...

Nice and simple, Kurgan. Very classy.

tom2681 · Post by **tom2681** » 31 May 2006, 01:03

Isn't that the girl from Final Fantasy 8 ?
Nice desktop BTW.

3 extra points in the DVD Mystère game for anyone who can guess/knows who that picture is supposed to be of... what, I can't make up rules for the game on the fly?

Thanks Bobbi. Oh, and I've PM'd you. Still not sure 100% how this works (despite Brad's attempts to educate me).

edit: Thanks to you as well, Tom. However, you don't get the points... yet

you'd bet wrong, she looks like a cheap whore...i have no time for people who think flaunting their ass in order to become famous is a good thing...pussy cat dolls and shit like that annoy the crap out of me, they arent amazingly beautiful in the first place, they just get famous my guys drooling over their lack of self respect. you see prettier girls walking down the street.

just my opinion of course...

You could've told me that before posting it on the board; I could've made some money out of him by taking that bet (which I would've shared obviously...

)

lol kurgan, sorry...

Kurgan · Post by **Kurgan** » 31 May 2006, 01:39

Ah well, just so long as you remember for next time. Can't miss these opportunities to make money out of our sucke- I mean, brothers here at BnB.

I thought Final Fantasy 8 was a shitty game. The drawing system was shit, the Magic system (or lack thereof) sucked, "the make your own weapon upgrades" system was rubbish, the SeeD income made the game too easy and Squall was an angsty faggot. The score was cool though.

Last FF I bothered with was 10. That sucked too, they had dumbed it down so much that it wasn't funny and I hated the heavy handed pontificating about how technology was bad. The switching party members on the fly business is something they should've introduced in FF6 back in '94.

I might give Dragon Quest 8 a try sometime (made by the Enix side of SquareEnix). The Square side of the SquareEnix seem too concerned with making games for mainstream fucktards who hate even one millimetre of difficulty in their games.

Wouldn't be thankful for yet another competitor.

Hmm, that is true. Have you seen the new video yet LD? Oh. My. God!
