Need a suitable screensaver for a C&C gaming laptop

Post by zacharythefirst »

So, I'm converting my laptop into a gaming computer for C&C and all my gaming stuff. Any thoughts on a screen saver out there that would be appropriate for C&C in the fantasy RPG vein of things? (And yeah, WoTC's D&D screensaver isn't in the running--too game-specific). Pity there isn't a C&C screensaver I can put on there...

Castle Screensavers

Might be somewhat appropriate...

That elusive fantasy one at bottom might work!

I downloaded the Dragons screensaver and got two high level warning attachments along with them. According to Windows Defender.
Since its 20,000 I suggest "Captain Nemo" as his title. Beyond the obvious connection, he is one who sails on his own terms and ignores those he doesn't agree with...confident in his journey and goals.

I didn't check them, as I don't use screensavers. However, with all internet sites, make sure whatever you're downloading is safe. Best way to do that is to have a spyware detector (a good one) and a virus checker (updated, and not crapware.) Of course, the site itself might be the problem, and not the downloads... wouldn't know as I use NoScript for FireFox so any web-based scripts are automatically stopped, and I rarely download anything.

While it's not a screensaver, may I suggest this for your background? http://ravenchilde.com/screenfinal.jpg

As soon as I saw that I saved it and have had it as my background.

Haven't you ever wondered how a male in chain armor that completely covers him from head to toe can have the same armor class as a female in a chainmail bikini?

I love chainmail bikini's. 8)

Never. It's just the way the universe works I suppose.

Yes, one of those "Fundamental Laws of the Universe" type of things.

Your forgetting the modifiers from the 'stun' factor. Towit, any critter that has a pulse and hormones is going to pause just enough to miss more often. ^_~`
