You know that we can see your IP in that shot.

Oh well.

Quote from Sneaky Paradox:

Good 'ol clean desktop!

Actually, if you must say that, it would be correct if you said "Good ol' clean desktop!" instead of what you said, because the apostrophe is used in place of a letter, not just at the beginning of the word. I get annoyed when I see "something n' something else", "something 'n something else" or whatever, because it's incorrect. It should be "something 'n' something else", because the apostrophe is there in place of the "a" and "d" in "and". They're sign would just as well be saying "something nd something else" or "something an something else".

If you talking to me, I don't know what you talking about.

Anyway, that mac os is too glitchy to run snex9x and smile so I'm reverting back to way it was.

The problem is that it usually just looks like you surrounded an n with quotes.

Yeah, it took me years to figure out that the apostrophe in "Toys 'R' Us" stand for missing letters and aren't meant to somehow quote the R.

The correct wording is, "Whatchu talkin' 'bout Gamma?"

Oh snap! NOW I know what you talking about. My ip address IS on the picture. I think I'm gonna remove that.

No, there should be a comma between "'bout" and "Gamma", because you're putting the noun at the end, so you're addressing me. The way you put it, you're asking what (though it should be why) aigamerDS is talking about Gamma. "Gamma" could mean a number of things.

Gamma, there's really no need to constantly nitpick other people's grammar, especially that of a joke. You're just being difficult for the hell of it, and it makes you look retarded.
Please stay on-topic.

Yo.

Whether that personal text Cacobob has is to humor me or to prove me right, I'm not sure. Even so, I do believe it rightfully implies that Cacobob (Small edit: and most of the rest of the internet) isn't always to be taken totally seriously, especially with a post like that. Geez, G_Met, lighten up! We're all friendly here! (Mostly.)

EDIT: Well, Ark beat me to it, but I gotta say...

I admit it, your sig put a smile in my cold, black heart. The title felt fitting enough for me.

...And now that I'm home from the college at my computer, I can post on-topic. Here's my desktop:

I took the picture myself, in Brawl. Ain't vanity great?

P.S. Before you start laughing thinking that's a screenshot from an XP, it's not. It's an ME.

I would have guessed Windows 98, since the folder icons in XP are polished up quite a bit.

Cool pic, btw, if it weren't for all the visible pixels on the screen. :|

That's what I get for stretching a 640x480 pic onto a 1024x768 desktop after the pic came out of a crappy internal-Wii-format-to-JPEG converter. I liked the concept, though, so it stayed.

I'm sure if you were really worried about it, you could get someone with photoshop to sharpen the image and make it look more smooth.

I'm actually more inclined to laugh at Me. XP is a fairly decent, fairly stable operating system.

I prefer not resizing images to fit the screen. Any time I look at speedruns, I double the size, but I don't make it full screen because things like that happen.

Meh. My ME Laptop seems a lot more stable than our XP Desktop, which is why I use it so much. I think it's cuz' we loaded tons of stuff onto the XP, but kept the ME fairly clean (it has been tainted most recently by my Dooming, though it continues to not give me problems.)

Quote from nn12000:

I actually believe I would have replaced all of the icons on our Desktop XP with ME's, would it have not been criticized by the rest of my family (not because ME seems to be more problematic, but instead because I would've actually changed something in the internal system folders OH NOES.) :P

Hated by all

Windows ME was nice for me, save for a dying hard drive (which was replaced), crashes every 4 months, and hardware mods of it. Ran most of my PC games really well. I still have a 95 box upstairs.

I'm just using XP. XD My aunt's Vista Home Premium laptop runs really well for me, except some old games that I loved, even with the compatibility modes on ME or XP Service Pack 2.
