Guys, the purpose of this thread is to gather some of the things that you own, put them all on your desk, and then take a picture of it to show us. Not just post images from the internet. Jesus christ.

[Carnage]

I dont know. I think that Lego picture is a pretty damn good representation of Mage.

[Ryllharu]

I thought the Terra one was pretty close too.

You said one "picture," not "collection of your stuff posed in an artsy way photo"

Well he just said "Guys, the purpose of this thread is to gather some of the things that you own, put them all on your desk, and then take a picture of it to show us. Not just post images from the internet. Jesus christ."

So problem solved.

I didn't think a fully detailed explanation was necessary since the first three example pictures hinted at an obvious pattern. But I, once again, have underestimated GW members' intelligence.

i like how so many people have the exact same shot with the money, keys and some piece of technology on a table.

we could turn this into a "post a picture of your desktop (meatspace version) thread pretty easily :p

[mage]

I don't see how throwing the contents of your pockets on a desk with an iPod/flash drive/cell phone shows anything about one's personality. Everyone has that shit.

You guys can have more bill$ on your desk than mine if you want....I won't hate.

[itadakimasu]

i kept it real and just emptied my current pockets, cell phone happened to be in the other room. I wanted to clearly show the 4 $1 bills that i have and then show my mess of a desk where i live when i am at home, with one screen running counterstrike and the other screen running yahoo chat w\ my gf, gotwoot forums, and various other progs. get home, heat up food for dinner, sit down at computer and watch ep of one piece while eeating, finish eating, watch 10-15 minutes of video for class....must play counterstrike! surf forums and chat in between rounds of cs :) yep thats an almost exact day to day process.

basically the same picture over and over and over again.

Maybe I'll get bored and post one after there's enough light to take a picture decently...

[Assertn]

Yeah, the topic serves better as "take an undisturbed picture of your desk right now," rather than the title Mut decided on.

[Mut]

Yeah, the topic serves better as "take an undisturbed picture of your desk right now," rather than the title Mut decided on.
We should change the title to:

"Place several objects owned by you, which represents who you are, on your desk, take a picture either with a digital camera or your cell phone, upload it to a web host of your choice, then post it in this thread."

I mean, I now hope these people can understand the point of the thread by the title, if not by the three starting pictures that show an obvious and blatant pattern. But then again... I can be a little tricky and misleading.

[DB_Hunter]

Either that or it shows how remarkably similar people on this forum are. Now that could be viewed as like minded people coming together, or simply people who lack individuality and need to identify themselves using accepted corporate brands.

Matter of perspective I guess.

Good to see that money and electronics are the only things that describe everyone here at Gotwoot. I think it would be much more interesting if people just found pictures on the internet because you all obviously have zero creativity.

I don't have any money in bills. Unlike you guys, I actually have a bank account.

Agreed. This is getting sort of ... tedious.

If you're the sort of person whose whole identity can be encapsulated and represented by the things you have in your pocket, you're ... well ... pretty fucking shallow.

Ew you have girly things.

[masamuneehs]

i didn't really care to just throw a bunch of stuff from my pockets into a pile, and it felt way too petty to assemble a bunch of my shit in some weird attempt to impress people i only know over the internet... so i took a picture of my desk, which is a bit cluttered, but shows a good amount 'about me'

small list of: cleaned tie, CD/DVD case, letters, 4 leaf clover (a gift), box 'o random shit, dictionaries (english and italian), glasses case, photo album, expired ID card, hat, globe, checkbook w/money, manuals, magazines

edit-....once again, the point shouldn't be to try to show off your cool little gizmoes and designer accessories, but to actually show something that represents you...

Well, if you weren't so busy checking out all the guys' contributions to the "post your picture" thread, you'd know the answer to that, wouldn't you!

...and just for a picture of his desk, no less. I can't even fathom the devastation that would be caused if he contributed to the "post your pic" thread, but i'd wager the body count would at least be double digits.

[mage]

There aren't holes in his mouse, that's just how the mx518's (I assume that's what it is) are painted.

If you're able to post a picture of your desk, when are you going to finally post a picture of yourself? I can't wait to make fun of you.

[Carnage]

I was joking...... :eek:

[mage]

No, I don't think you were. You genuinely thought there were holes in his mouse.

[Carnage]

Yea. Im sure any company would make a fucking fortune on a new innovation such as "TheRe aRe HoLes iN ThiS MouSe!"

[Board of Command]

Nothing innovative about that.

http://www.overclockers.com/tips967/

[Animeniax]

The mouse is an MX518 like Q-bert said. It has this weird pseudo-organic look to it.
The holes in the mouse are for weight reduction and to funnel hand sweat away.

The fridge is behind me, opposite the desk. Not much in it though.

Radio is for "INCOMING, INCOMING, TAKE SHELTER".

@BoC: Wow, good eye man. At first I thought you were talking about the white mouse behind the monitor because I forgot the MX700 is sitting under the desk. It's too damn heavy so I stopped using it. Gonna get a G7 soon.

Also its not an unreasonable assumption that mage plays guitar Animeniax, seeing as 100,000,000+ other people play aswell.

I play keyboard.

IFHTT: I was implying you and he are clones. I'll prove it yet.

@BoC: You mean piano type or PC type? Cause we all play PC type. And I know how Asian parents love to make their kids play piano. My sister plays. I was the neglected child.

My 6 string dream-team is a white Les Paul and a black Strat. Your taste in guitars is like a bizarro-world version of mine.

Also, I laughed a little when the first thing I noticed from Animaniax's picture was the inspiration/source of his avatar. I guess that represents him pretty well on Gotwoot, seeing as he's still a faceless user aside from his ava/sig.

[Animeniax]

Did you guys learn to play on your own or with instruction? I plan to take lessons when I go to uni in Austin next year.

The Drive magazine was provided to all new owners of the first gen STi in the US back in 2003. If you look in the upper left corner of the hutch, you'll see a Takara Transformers Binaltech Smokescreen (2004 WRC Subaru STi). Contrary to all of this memorabilia, I don't really care about the car that much. I'll probably trade it in for a Lexus sooner or later.

I learned on my own, but i've been playing for 6 or 7 years...

Here's a sample from earlier 2006 (http://hstkdh.no-ip.org/ifhtt+trfs.mp3) - my take on Toshiro Masuda's "The Raising Fighting Spirit" from Naruto...

It's nothing special, but then again I only play as a hobbyist. Lessons are good for learning the fretboard, but practice is the only thing that'll make you good... also depends on what style you prefer, some are easier to master than others.

[XanBcoo]

Annoying how OCD and OCPD are often confused and/or lumped together. When I tell someone I'm Obsessive Compulsive, they think I'm making it up because I'm admittedly a slob and pretty laid-back about most things. Truth be told, I'd much rather have OCPD of the two.

Did you guys learn to play on your own or with instruction? I plan to take lessons when I go to uni in Austin next year.
IFFTT's got it. You should take as much instruction as you can from any source you can get, but practice is what will really take you far. That, and a little natural talent. I say that because as much as I love the Bass, I'm never going to have the kind of rhythm and funk that all the great players do, despite that I practice about 2 hours a day.

I wonder how does a key and a cellphone represent you? , it doesn't tell anything about a person's personality.

[Board of Command]

Keys mean you own something that has a lock and is of some value, or contains things that are of value. Cellphone means you talk a lot on the phone unless you're on some prepaid plan.

In other words, they don't mean jack.
