I've managed to avoid playing Diablo 2 for a little while. Dungeon Siege 2 and more recently Titan Quest have been filling that Diablo-shaped hole in my soul. Of course even if I did go back to Diablo 2 I'd probably be playing the homebrew mod version a friend of mine made and me and another guy helped tweak a bit.
On the subject of backgrounds I'm on my work login right now. Two whole screens worth of boring Windows-Classic blue and a mess of icons scattered about.
I saw WoW on a few desktops too hehe, Lately I've been trying to pawn off my Battle.net account to someone that would trade for Team Fortress 2. So far, no luck.
The wow servers have been down for a whole month now here in China. Blizzard is changing contracts to a new Chinese server company to consolidate all of its online games to one Chinese company. It hasn't affect me, as I've been too busy to really play games this month, but I feel bad for all the poor gold farmers who need work.
The server change? It was their choice. They were using one company, called The9, to host the game for a couple years now, but they moved to another company. I forget the name at the moment, but this new company is already hosting battle.net, and it's working on handling the massive server overload that is going to be Starcraft 2. So Blizzard is just putting all of their games into one major company. I'm not entirely sure if there were other issues or no with The9. I don't play enough to keep up to date with stuff like this.
Edit: Oh wait, you mean gold farming, don't you? Umm... in Taiwan servers it is pretty well policed, and if you're caught buying or selling gold like that you can get banned, but in mainland China I think they just gave up. The sellers still require something in a trade just to get past some of the censors, so I think I once traded one or two gray items for 13000 gold.

Interestingly enough, I loved Bob Marley long before I ever came in contact with cannabis. I was just always a huge ska/reggae fan.
I need to clean that up, it's kind of a mess.
From Hong Kong last summer.
Yes that is Nathan Fillion holding a scale model of the sniper rifle from Halo.
Edit: Due to Nathan Fillion, that is.
New computer, so the desktop's neat. For now.
Bonus points if you can name the car.

I do, however, play Guild Wars.
