Tofugu Comments: Godzilla Desktops for Your Computer

  • Rimka · 1 year ago
    Unfortunately my Gateway 22' Only goes up to 1680x1050 (My old CRT used to go into the 1900s and 2000s) Man I miss those days...

    Great wallpapers by the way! I LOVE the Mothra one XD

    Wouldn't it make sense just to offer the maximum 4:3 and 16:10 resolutions of the wallpaper instead of offering multiple sizes? I mean 1600x1200 and 1024x768 are 4:3 aspect ratio. Someone using 1024x768 can just resize the 1600x1200... Just seems more economical to me to offer only two options for each aspect ratio (one 1920x1440 and one 1920x1200).

    What I'm getting at is you offer a good sized 4:3 ratio wallpaper (1600x1200), but offer a small 16:10 ratio wallpaper (1280x800). What about people using 1680x1050 or 1920x1200 :( (Haha yes, I use these resolutions).

    Erin's personal blog link leads to Koichiben....

    Thanks for the info on screen res. I'll definitely do that when these are "officially" released. And damn man, those are big resolutions you use.

    Also, thanks for the heads-up on the link. Don't know what I was doing there.
  • Viet · 1 year ago
    I wish there were bigger :P

    Actually, 1680x1050 isn't that big... It's common among 20" widescreens. You had a 20" iMac, so you should know what it felt like using it.
  • koichi · 1 year ago
    now look what you made me do
  • ghindo · 1 year ago
    I agree.
  • koichi · 1 year ago
    jeeesh, you guys are resolution snobs :P
  • クリス · 1 year ago
    I'm usually running the 1600x1200 res on my desktop, I need the desktop space. My friends get pissed when they use my computer because everything is 'so' small for them. IDK, I see everything just fine, haha. I also wish my Macbook had a bigger res than 1280x800.
  • WOTDsctoo · 1 year ago
    I will not complain or whine about all of this resolution nonsense! (mostly because I know so little that I have to guess when downloading backgrounds...>.>)

    Woot! Gigan is amaaaazing! Although I'm not sure what three of him are doing on Godzilla's breath... XD
  • mmnessa · 1 year ago
    that's why it's so awesome :P
  • WOTDsctoo · 1 year ago
    I see. XD Well, I downloaded it. Gigan + Me = "luv4eva"
  • yoyokirby · 1 year ago
    Man, no one likes us 1280x1024 guys. Lol, just kidding, don't go and make one for that res now.
  • YoyoKirby · 1 year ago
    I dunno why it didn't "claim" this post... weird.
  • Viet · 1 year ago
    Yeah, that res is an oddball :P
  • Tofugu_Erin · 1 year ago
    Normally, when offered multiple resolution options, I just find the smallest resolution wallpaper that fills my screen completely (it's almost never exact) and resize + crop it myself in PS.
  • Tofugu_Erin · 1 year ago
    By the way, thanks for pimping my photo blog, haha.
  • Fredy · 1 year ago
    Cool. I should use one. I read the thank you card.
    Back from Japan! Cannot sleep in airplanes at all...
    I've been staying awake all day so I can sleep at a normal time... kinda.
    I left Japan at 3:30pm on Wednesday and got to my house at 3:30pm on Wednesday.
    I'm like Hiro Nakamura from Heroes. :D
    Japan is awesome. I want to go back. :P
  • koichi · 1 year ago
    awesome, you got back!
    you should join the postcard contest, since you got it.
    you know, yours happened to be the very last one I had to write, haha. I don't remember if I wrote that on the card or not, though.
  • Viet · 1 year ago
    Welcome back. How was the flight back? I remember the flight to Japan wasn't that bad, but the flight back took a lot out of me.
  • Tofugu_Erin · 1 year ago
    What movie did we see on the way back? I don't remember...
  • koichi · 1 year ago
    There were like four of them, that's why you can't remember ;P
  • Tofugu_Erin · 1 year ago
    Wait, I kind of remember now. One was the Wicker Man...

    What were the others?
  • Fredy · 1 year ago
    Flight to Japan was not so bad! Continental is nice. They had these touch screens on every seat that let you choose movies, tv shows, and listen to music. I watched Kill Bill, Scrubs, and listen to a bunch of random songs. They also had some games. They had to change our seat order to due to something got wrong, so I ended up sitting alone surrounded by Japanese people.
    The flight to Japan... didn't have those fancy screen things anymore. You couldn't choose to see a movie, since it was like TV channels and radio stations and had to wait for them to restart. I wanted to watch some of the Japane movies that seemed pretty cool. For some reason, this movie called "I just didn't do it" caught my eye and then some other ones. I just listened to my PSP and played some solitaire. I can't sleep on planes. I ended up staying up 31 hours.

    Nice wallpapers, I especially like the Mothra and Ghidora desktops! Fits my MacBook perfectly ^^
  • koichi · 1 year ago
    mine toooo
  • クリス · 1 year ago
    Is this vector (illustrator)? I did a project in my computer multimedia class similar to this kind of art. I did a giant portrait of Leonard Nimoy. It took me a good 30+ hours filling in with the pen tool. I also think the have a program for doing it now...
  • WillSoup · 1 year ago
    I agree with the whole res size ratio thing, but at the same time... I run 1280 x 1024, so apparently my res is an oddball.
  • デリひこ · 1 year ago
    youtubeから来ました。マクドナルドのお話、とても参考になりました。
  • mmnessa · 1 year ago
    Oh nice, but I'm still I'm debating between having Gojira versus Gigan plastered across my screen, or my current Tally Hall desktop. It's a tough decision. I'm very picky about what goes on in my desktop...
  • Jimo · 1 year ago
    Nice backgrounds! Im using the Godzilla v Gigan one!
    Hopefully you can get around to releasing a 1600x1024 version!
  • Jimo · 1 year ago

  • emiko · 1 year ago
    great job on the backgrounds ^^
  • Eevee · 1 year ago
    haha. These are awesome!
    I use 1152x864
    I dunno why, I've been using it on PC's since I was 10. xD
    Just comfortable, I guess. I usually end up centering the wallpaper on a black backround anyhow. I don't like ones that don't fit, and I'm too lazy to fix it.
  • Kevin · 1 year ago
    Nice wallpapers! They have a really cool vector feel to them. Now if only the monsters covered more of the wallpaper...
  • Ajay · 1 year ago
    ...but the simplicity does add a sort of relaxing mood to the pictures even though it is meant to be a battle scene.
  • Joe · 1 year ago
    Nabbed myself the godzilla/king kong one. Thanks!
