Fly... by °Phill 3 weeks 19 hours ago

This wallpaper captures the urban essence that proliferated the art of Ghost in the Shell in every incarnation of the series. Phill does an amazing job of capturing a moment of surrealism.

While there are a few, stray building angles and shadows, you find that your eye forgives the minor details and instead focuses on the overall scene that is larger than life, with lights trailing off into infinity.

Ah, I see. So after approving is possible to change to even a not listed resolution.

^hatesyou 29 minutes ago
The first was a 4:3 wallpaper. The low res widescreen version has been added later.

°akiranyo 31 minutes ago
Kath: That means that the first was 1440x900?

^hatesyou 34 minutes ago
The 1280x800 version has been uploaded by the user as a first revision. Might pay to get your facts straight before complaining.

°akiranyo 36 minutes ago
We should go up with resolutions not down. Btw AP resizes 1440x900 automatic to 1280x800.

Back in high school I wrote a story, ended up being a nice college project, to revamp and improve. Anyways in this story (a sci-fi) I tried to come up with origonal names for each character. Khal Reblic was the main character of all my stories and was always written to reflect my own personality. The number 23 is my lucky number, has been forever and really thats a whole other thread to begin with. haha Anyways, now you know <!--emo&^_^--><img src='style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/happy.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='happy.gif' /><!--endemo-->

Ah funny you should ask. I have a very interesting story. It all started about 10 years ago when I was having dinner with a lovely young camel in china. We were discussing the effects of planetary alignments on eggplants when I was asked if I'd like a cigarette. I said no, I think I'll just choose eidolon. And things were never the same afterwards.

"Orchid Malevolence" is the name of the cursed sword in Otogi that draws out the user's life force to create an orchid colored blade of flame. It will kill anything in the game with a single blow, but if you take a hit in the meantime, you're a goner.I was feeling pretty uncreative that night, so I just stuck that one in there. <!--emo&:P--><img src='style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/tongue.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tongue.gif' /><!--endemo-->

Interesting topic. Well a long time ago I went to one of those translation sites that gives you a Japanese name based on your American name and it popped out 'Riku' for me (which is probably wrong, but I like it ^^). And at the time I was all up on Tenchu 1 and 2 so I slapped a 'maru' at the end of it to make it more ninja tastic <!--emo&:D--><img src='style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/biggrin.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin.gif' /><!--endemo-->

Mine is a corruption of something in a book by my favourite author. It's a guy called Robert Rankin, and the "train of trismegistus" is featured in one of the cornelius murphy books. Trismegiustus is actually the Greek name for the Egyptian God Thoth, so I didn't want to use that directly, so I switched a you in to change the feel, phoneticaly.And Bob's your father's brother's mother's uncle's monkey, as they say.

Mine one is very ordinary.It starts when I first think it is time for me to have a nickname.So ,I try to search for one with its meaning suite me and then I found it--------Teresa.The story doesn't end like this........After a few years ,I try to find back the meaning of my nickname through the same source.When I finally found it,I doubt why I choose this namel because its meaning doesn't seem like the one I would have choosen after all. <!--emo&<_<--><img src='style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/dry.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='dry.gif' /><!--endemo--> Anyway ,it is too late to turn back......................... .Maybe ,my nickname is a mistake after all.......................... <!--emo&:(--><img src='style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/sad.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='sad.gif' /><!--endemo--> Anyway ,I grew to love this nickname more as time passes.Now,I am proud of it!!!!! <!--emo&:P--><img src='style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/tongue.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tongue.gif' /><!--endemo-->

There is this rapper named Esoteric already so I decided to make my name Eso instead.Too bad there are at least 2 other people in the world with the same name as mine and one of them is actually selling records over in Australia, I believe.Doesn't matter though. I know I'm the best Eso there is.

Actually mine is goggles_aniki though for some reason when i registered here, I decided to use verbal (the rapper from m-flo). Oh wellz. I can't be bothered changin' in it now.Back on track, my friend called me goggles because of the fact I wear glasses. Later on, I just tagged aniki after it since I'm an aniki myself.

If anyone has seen "Record of Lodoss War TV", then they'll know where mine comes from. At the end of the episodes, they always have a quick "welcome to lodoss island" clip, of the characters in chibi form. Anyway, in one of them, it has the crew shouting out, "POW POW, PARN!" in unison... hilarious...

My nickname is RedSoviet41 becuase I''m obsessed with Russia, the Soviet Union, Communism, Stalin, Lenin, and Marx.The 41 is tacked on because the Siege of Leningrad happened in 1941, and it is one of the best examples of Soviet strength and willpower.Note: Everywhere else my nick is Hanami, which is something random I made up for Diablo II, and it stuck. I later found out it's also a Japanese festival traditiony thing that has to do with cherry trees. Random Coincidene. How I <3 emoticon chaos.
