That looks like it's from Preacher. Except for the sexes being switched, it might as well be. Very cool though.

It's clearly from The Darkness dude. It's an American comic. I've never actually read it, but I like the concept, and I've played the game. Well I actually owned the 1/2 issue, when I was a kid, but I lost it during a move. Sucks too cuz it might have ended up being worth something. T.T

Well yeah, all I meant was it looked like it was from Preacher, just the sexes reversed, it looked like the panel when they talk about the birth of Genesis. I've played the game too, I recognize the beasties.

Ah okay, just making sure. I haven't actually seen Preacher, but it sounds like something I'd probably like.

Yeah, it's pretty awesome. The same kind of awesome Berserk is, in the best sense of the word, with all the rape, gore, and blasphemy you'd want. Though, as a Christian I enjoy these sort of works because they acknowledge that at least something exists, as opposed to absolutely athiest works. Plus this is my desktop: http://www.cosmiccomix.com/newblog/wp-c ... 0x1024.jpg It's the cover of the first Preacher book.

I don't read Berserk for the rape, blasphemy, or gore. Okay, well a little bit for the gore (Really the action moreso than the gore), but mostly because I think the story is freaking amazing, and I love the art.

Well I agree with you there, and Preacher is the same way, its just that its funny that those are things that are common between the two. Anyways if you like Berserk you'll like Preacher, even though it is American, and I know how a lot of the people on this site like or even prefer Japanese stuff. It's produced by Vertigo, so I guess DC too, so it's not that hard to find. It was published in the nineties and will be made into a movie in the next few years. And yes, I do realize this should be in the comic book thread, but whatever.

Berserk and Preacher really have virtually nothing in common.

You guys are comparing a book about swords and sorcery and demons that tends to take itself very seriously to a book about a guy walking around trying to find god (literally) with supernatural elements and dark humor.

You mean Herald is comparing Preacher to Berserk. I'm not comparing it to anything. I've never even read Preacher. ;)

After years of searching I finally found a set of pictures I've been looking for. Every hour, my desktop wallpaper changes between these pics:

Someone reworked them in a large scale and they came out great, he missed one though:

What are those pics from? Seems like some kind of bizarrely elaborate porn flic, but I might be wrong.
I mean, it´s a possibility.
Never can rule out those.
Very important.

Sigh

I miss porn.

P.S. How can your desktop change every hour?
You can´t do that with .gif´s, right?
It`s...it`s not magic, is it?

P.S.S. What the hell is wrong with this keyboard?

They're the PMC's from MGS4, ever since that game came out I've been looking for these logos in wallpaper size.

The desktop changing every hour is an option in Mac OS X, you set it to cycle through some pictures every set amount of time. I think, though I'm not sure, that Windows 7 has that same option.

Nice. I also like that word file that says "Shemale Problems".

Of course you do.
If you truly love pornography, as I do, then there's no area of it you haven't explored.
The things I've seen! The shit I've downloaded! Horrible, unrepeatable, unconceivable things!

Wow, I thought the exact same thing when I saw it. (Preacher is such a fantastic work, I respect it like no other.)

War Machine, nice MGS4 wallpapers. Pretty awesome indeed.

Speaking of Smale's problems, one of my teachers talked about them yesterday. You beat him to the punch by mere hours, Rolos. :thumb:
