What screensaver do you use? I've been trying to find one I like for ages, but can't find any.

I don't. Not even the default XP thingy. Just a black, black screen...

Default Vista. I don't think I've used a custom screensaver since Windows 98. :D

One of the default crappy Vista screensavers. Well, I don't mind.

I don't bother customizing my computer.
I have the default Windows XP screensaver - logo randomly popping out. And I'm even using the default wallpaper.

PolarClock v3 or DropClock.

That screensaver's awesome - I was considering downloading it, but after seeing this:
This program is recommended only if you have a high-bandwidth, always-on connection to the internet such as DSL or cable modem.
I decided not to download it, since my internet tends to be quite unstable, especially when a lot of bandwidth is being used.
I used the default XP screensaver before I reformatted my computer, and I still do now. I never pay attention to the screensaver anyway, so I haven't bothered changing it.
For people who like procedural generation and don't mind using a lot of CPU power, there's Pixel City.

What is this screensaver of which you speak? Is that newfangled thing for hip kids with their Mp3's and their Eye Phones?

You kids and your technology. *takes cane and walks away*

I use the default mac screensaver, it looked better than the windows one so I downloaded it, I'm also looking into PolarClock right now.

Orange- N cannot be spoken, or even thought about in my household. If my parents ever found out that I have played N since the cleansing, my life would be ruined. I keep the game in a multi-passworded .rar on a USB flash drive inside a locked boron alloy container that requires two keys to open (I keep one under the 64th hammer in my piano, and the other one in a small section of removable ceiling in the corner of the attic) hidden in a wall compartment lined with aluminium foil to prevent sonar detection behind my 375 kg cupboard, which is bolted to the floor - the only way to reach it is to abseil outside the fourth floor window and use a screwdriver to unfasten the screws holding the secret brick in place on the opposite side of the wall, but the screwdriver must be a specific type like the one I own, since if any other screwdriver comes into contact with the screws, the entire building will explode, as will a seperate charge placed inside the boron alloy container, rendering the USB useless. Even once the container is retrieved, attemping to open it without the arming pin in place (which is kept inside the battery compartment of my Maglite) will cause the water reservoirs lining the container to burst and react with the caesium lining, causing the container to burst into flames - the only way to prevent this is to use the arming pins to shut off the reservoirs with a sliding steel door. The USB itself contains an accelerometer linked to an explosive charge, meaning that if the USB detects its own movement speed as being greater than 5 cm/s, it will explode - any person attempting to steal it would have to move at a uselessly slow speed. Once plugged into a computer, the USB will upload a ghost virus onto it, leaving no traces. Only the right password can deactivate this virus, and if it is left on the computer for more than six hours, it will format all drives.

As you can see, I take my N playing very seriously.

Guiseppi- I'd much rather watch animals get boned in the ass.

Yanni- If it's glad, it's not rape.

Tsukatu- I refuse to use throw-away bags for such a frequent purpose as buying groceries. Instead, I've collected the hair of my two pet dogs and have woven them together into an all-natural, 100% environmentally friendly bag that I bring with me everywhere. And when I buy products that come in glass and plastic containers, I track down the company that packages them and ship back their containers so that they don't take up space in landfills.


Yeah, I use plastic.

Tsukatu- I hear Ebony Online is great, too. Cum save your princess, my lord!

Ska- UR MUM LIKE IS SPICY

Ska- why d i get the feeling what i typed will end up in the quote depository; or worse: someone's sig.

KinGAleX- I did it on the couch a little while ago.

Holy shit, that's amazing. I'm downloading it myself.

Mine used to be Arabesque (one of the SL defaults, the one with all the glowy colored circles).
