300 Wallpaper

300 is not just a number. It is a symbol of a brave people that stand proudly for the name of their nation against oppression by invaders and boldly go to face certain death to get their point across. And one of the best movies ever.



This is Sparta! And don't you ever forget it. The visuals are over the top, but effective and very memorable.



In this fictional Sparta, young boys grow up to be men. And everything is solved by beating things up.



At least that is the way of King Leonidas and 300 other people. Some of the other Spartans prefer to conspire with the enemy though.



Kill, kill, kill. Kill the Persians and kill their mercenaries, and then kill some more.



Watch your footing there mate. I would not want any accidents to happen. Too late!



If we are going to kill or get killed, just make sure that we are going to do it in a spectacular way. 300 has its roots as a comic and it shows.



Queen Gorgo loves her husband Leonidas even after she knows that she will not see him anymore. The queen is instrumental in rallying the Spartans together after her husband's death.



King Xerxes has infinite wealth and land and is in control of a vast army. But his downfall begins right here.

Underworld Wallpaper

The moon looks down at the city below. Strangely, it is not raining today. By the way, are you a vampire or a lycan? Or just a measly human?

Let's start with the introductions. I think Selene you already know. It is why you came here in the first place right?



Michael Corvin is the toy that the warring vampires and lycans spend the entire movie playing around with.



Lucian is initially depicted as the bad guy, but he is actually the victim here. A victim of star-crossed love, no less.



Kraven is the useless guy really. He thinks he is in charge, but with or without him does not make any difference to the outcome of the plot.



Erika, on the other hand helps Selene to have her way to justice. And her chic gothic looks add a bit of a feminine touch to an otherwise gory outing. No offence to Kate!



Viktor (below right) is an old sod who is the one who has caused all the trouble in the first place. Which is why we are not giving him a complete wallpaper all for himself, eh? He also killed all of Selene's family and turned her into a vampire.

Another World

I found these pictures lying around on my hard disk, and fond memories started flowing back...



The story starts with a thunder storm looming in the background.



Little did Lester know that he will soon be transported to one of the most fantastic experiences that the Amiga computer could be able to give you at the time.



Great graphics, great gameplay, and a mysterious eerie landscape await our hero. Just an example of how a little overtime work can go horribly wrong.
