About Me
Hey, my name is Travis. I have played vidja games since I was a wee lad, growing up on the N64, followed by the Saturn, Dreamcast, Xbox, Xbox 360, Wii, and lastly, the PSTriples. I think this is the start of a beautiful relationship.

Scrixx owes me 5 dollars. NEVAR FORGET.

Wallpaper of Win?!
T-rav | 9:34 PM on 07.05.2008 11 comments




(For those wanting to skip the words, the wallpaper can be found below as expected, kthx.)

Alright! So, seeing as how I joined just recently, I thought I would bring a little something along with me to the party. Something to, say, break the ice in a delicious wallpaper flavor.

This wallpaper was lovingly crafted with the help of a Photoshop tutorial, but I wasn't content with yet another tutorial created image. I wanted to make it something a bit more me. With that initiative, an idea sprung to life.

The wallpaper is in 1600x1200 format and can be found for the low, low price of free just down below. I assume some explanation of it is in order, so explain I shall. The symbol present in the wallpaper is supposed to represent the Solid Snake created phrase "METAL GEAR?!" that we all are most likely familiar with in some for or other. I actually have only had a brief experience with the Metal gear franchise when I was young with "Sons of Liberty" on the Xbox. I rented it, wanting to give it a try, but didn't really enjoy it. Now that many years have passed however, I want to give it another go, but an opportunity has yet to present itself.

I will provide a link to the tutorial here, as I don't want to infringe on anyone's skillz. I thought my idea of Metal gear to be appropriate seeing as how it is a brush metal tutorial among other things.

If Metal Gear isn't your bag, worry not, for I have something similar but with a delicious D-Toid twist coming up. The idea is there, I need only to implement it, so look out for that if you like this wallpaper. Enjoy!
