Green Lantern Saves the Desktop

Feb/11 in Desktop, Free Wallpaper

Looking through some of the press art for Mortal Kombat vs. DC Universe, I found a picture of the Green Lantern that made the perfect wallpaper.  So started up Paint Shop Pro and created this…

Hal Jordan as the Green Lantern has always been my favorite.  For those who might need a history lesson though, Wikipedia comes to the rescue:

Each Green Lantern possesses a power ring that gives the user great control over the physical world as long as the wielder has sufficient willpower and strength to wield it. While the ring of the Golden Age Green Lantern (Alan Scott) was magically powered, the rings worn by all subsequent Lanterns were technological creations of the Guardians of the Universe, who granted such rings to worthy candidates. These individuals made up the intergalactic police force known as the Green Lantern Corps.

Want the original or more giant press art for Mortal Kombat vs. DC Universe?  Google has a ton of them from the web site videogamesblogger.com.

10 Green Envious Wallpaper Selections

Feb/02 in Desktop, Free Wallpaper

I like green. 

I always have, and I always probably will.  With that said, I wanted to both give you some great green wallpaper and try out a new Google search technique I picked up from an article on Lifehacker.

First, here are some of my favorite green wallpapers I have found from around the Web:

Green Wallpaper #1 Green Wallpaper #2 Green Wallpaper #3 Green Wallpaper #4 Green Wallpaper #5

Green Wallpaper #6 Green Wallpaper #7 Green Wallpaper #8 Green Wallpaper #9 Green Wallpaper #10

Now where is the trick?

Next time you search Google Images, be sure to try typing in, imagesize:1680×1050 green.  Changing the dimensions, will change the resolution of the picture you are looking for, and insert any search term you want (doesn’t have to be green) for the type of wallpaper you are looking for.

There you have it – two for one deal just for you.

It has been a while since I shared my wallpaper of choice with you all – and this time I do have a good one.  How could you say, “No!” to wallpaper that looks like bubble wrap?

Get Punched Out with Punch-Out Wallpaper

Sep/03 in Desktop, Free Wallpaper

Found another Nintendo classic wallpaper, well worth sharing.  The one is based around the original NES classic Punch-Out.  Check it out:

punch-out

You can it this one as a 2560×1600 file or a 1024×768 file. Either way should fit most if not all desktops out there.  Never actually played Punch-Out till I got my Wii.  Got to say it is a fun game, no matter how old it is.

Bonus: Be sure to check out and download my Punch-Out Desktop Icons!

Awesome Metroid Wallpaper

Sep/02 in Desktop, Free Wallpaper

You would be amazed with the stuff I find when I have nothing else better to do than randomly search around online.  Need an example?  Via this very cool small custom wallpaper site I found this awesome wallpaper version of the final boss battle from Super Metroid.

metroid-wallpaper

They have both a 1024×768 version and a 2560×1600 version for you to use.  (source link)

Looks like the web site where these were hosted went down, however I did find the high-res version and uploaded it here.

Also, found another copy of it here, just in case.

Makes me want to fire up my version of Super Metroid I have on my Wii right now.  I was a big fan of the SNES version too (couldn’t tell you how many times I played it all the way through).

Hardwood Lights Wallpaper

Jul/29 in Desktop, Free Wallpaper

Usually the more creative wallpaper is what gets me going, but for some reason this vanilla version of a hardwood flood with lights is very appealing to me.  Well, the fact that I didn’t need Home Depot to get it laid down across my desktop is a green checkmark in the win column.

If your looking for a simple work space, this wallpaper selection should do the trick for you. Check it out over at DeviantArt, where you can also pick up the 1680×1050 and 2560×1600 versions.

Due to the popularity of last weekend’s wallpaper remix, I figured I might try to make this a regular weekend task. Now we have all grown tired of the “bliss” wallpaper that was made famous with Windows XP – so here are a few similar (but better) wallpapers to decorate your desktops with.

Just click the wallpaper you want to go visit the download page for it:
