Faye Took 12-08-2002 11:44 AM

I have The Two Towers movie poster that has Aragorn, Gandalf, Arwen, Frodo, Gollum, Saruman, Gimli, and Legolas. And then it has the two towers.

engwaalphiel 12-08-2002 11:48 AM

i have different places from ME on my desktop . My favourite has to be different views of lorien (from the film) . Every now and again i might put some illustrations from the books onto my desktop for a change.

Cherie Centaur 12-08-2002 12:17 PM

I have a Legolas wallpaper, too. And the funny thing is, My husband doesn't seem to mind.

Diamond18 12-08-2002 02:04 PM

Well, I have Daffy Duck on my desktop (see avatar) but I had the Argonath up for a while. So that's Isildur and Elendil, right?

Nimrodel 12-08-2002 02:13 PM

Actually, Diamond, You're half right; they are Isildur and Anarion.

I have a collage of characters as my desktop.

Krumtakh the Obtuse 12-08-2002 02:35 PM

I used to have ringwraith wallpaper and an eye of sauron screensaver, but my dad changed it. [img]smilies/mad.gif[/img]

Meela 12-08-2002 02:39 PM

i have the wood from lotr where frodo and sam were when they first set off, and gandalf spouted out loads about how sauron had loads of birds and beasts spying for him, etc.

i cant remember which screensaver...

oh... horses, and characters in general

Beren87 12-08-2002 02:41 PM

I have a very nice picture of the inside of Bag end on my desktop at the moment.

HammerTime 12-09-2002 05:26 AM

I have a funny, well I think it is, picture of Gimli staring at nothing tiled all over my desktop, but it changes a bit.

Beruthiel 12-09-2002 05:32 AM

I have a Lothlorien pic on my desktop and a Two Towers preview screensaver.
Only 9 days left till TTT!!

Lidija Kasik 12-09-2002 05:34 AM

I have a Fellowship wallpaper (Hans Claesson's design, he's got wonderfull stuff) and also the screensaver.

Ainahithiel of Mirkwood 12-09-2002 09:18 PM

akay, here's the stat's so far

Eowyn-1
The TWO TOWERS poster-two
LEGOLAS!!!-3
collage of different characters-4 (I added some of the people who rotated posters to this category)
Places in Middle Earth-2
Ringwraith or evil things- one
gimli- one

Good stats so far. But I'm surprised no one has Aragorn [img]smilies/eek.gif[/img] on their desktop(he's my second hottest person, next to Legolas of course)

ONLY 9 MORE DAYS UNTIL TWO TOWERS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

elsye 12-09-2002 09:22 PM

I have Gimli, Legolas, Aragorn and Gandlaf the white on my desktop

Marillanna Sarnie 12-09-2002 09:25 PM

My desktop is a picture I'm sure many have seen....... it is the Mordor Online picture. It's funny, when the ol' computer finally starts up, the first thing you see is the Eye of Sauron! [img]smilies/eek.gif[/img]

akhtene 12-09-2002 10:20 PM

WOW! I've probably got the same one - the eye of Sauron both on desktop and screensaver.

Wanted to change the screensaver to 'the Ring on the bottom of Anduin', but forgot where I saw it. [img]smilies/rolleyes.gif[/img] Anyone seen it? Help!

Tigerlily Gamgee 12-10-2002 12:11 AM

I have the TTT Frodo wallpaper (with a small Frodo and Sam being lead by Gollum at the bottom) from the official site... and that is accompanied by many different LOTR icons.
A little overboard? Nah!

Bill Ferny 12-10-2002 12:16 AM

Its Legolas [img]smilies/mad.gif[/img], a revolving series of Orlando Bloom takes, endlessly parading across my computer screen, filling my sleeping with nightmares, and my waking with dread. One blue eyed, blond haired, vision after another, without respite and unmerciful.

No, it wasn't my idea…

90% of marriage is sacrifice.

Arathiriel 12-10-2002 12:26 AM

I have a picture of sweet Samwise Gamgee up for my wallpaper! [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img]

Eomer of the Rohirrim 12-10-2002 08:28 AM

I've got the Gandalf, Aragorn, Gimli and Legolas one too.

I had the Pippin one up for ages though.

Helkahothion 12-10-2002 09:48 AM

I don't have any pic's cause we have only one computer and my parents and sisters don't like lotr as mutch as I do.

Poor Bill, indeed.

Arwen Imladris 12-10-2002 02:53 PM

I used to have a LOTR wallpaper and a FOTR trailer for a screansaver, but my parents made me take them off. [img]smilies/frown.gif[/img]

Ainahithiel of Mirkwood 12-10-2002 09:02 PM

I feel for you Bill! [img]smilies/frown.gif[/img] [img]smilies/frown.gif[/img] [img]smilies/confused.gif[/img]

Well.... actually, no.. no I don't.. [img]smilies/tongue.gif[/img]

Lhunbelethiel 12-10-2002 11:10 PM

I have the Two Towers desktop with a big, gorgeous Aragorn, and Legolas, Gandalf, and Gimli. It's blue and says "The Two Towers: The Journey Continues December 18th." I also have it on my computer at work. Plus the TTT screensaver with, you guessed it- Aragorn. [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

I love this topic--screenasavers-- what geeks we all are! (I say that lovingly!) [img]smilies/eek.gif[/img]

Arwen_Evenstar 12-11-2002 12:31 AM

I used to have a pic of Smaug on my desktop, but my brother changed it. I then had a collage of all the movie posters, but my brother changed it. I then had a picture of Frodo [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img] but my brother changed it.( [img]smilies/mad.gif[/img] [img]smilies/mad.gif[/img] ) Then my mum, tired of our constand bickering, locked the desktop on a plain teal backround [img]smilies/mad.gif[/img] [img]smilies/mad.gif[/img] [img]smilies/mad.gif[/img] !!!!!

Airehiriel 12-13-2002 11:01 AM

I have a FOTR wallpaper on my computer here at work. It has small pics of each character (EXCEPT SAM!!! [img]smilies/mad.gif[/img] ) And a few different places, like Bree and Lothlorien.

kaleidoscope 12-13-2002 03:14 PM

I used to have my computer so that a differemt LOTR desktop came up every time you started the computer. That was great!! [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img] [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img] [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img] [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img] By then, my dad changed it.

Manardariel 12-13-2002 03:28 PM

Untill my uncle recked my PC, getting rid of all my downloads [img]smilies/mad.gif[/img], I had:

Eowyn-2
Aragorn-Sreenscaver&Desktop
Lorien&Rivendell- 4&a screenscaver each
TTT- the yellowish poster with all the characters, also the trailer as a screensaver

Demloth of Dol Amroth 12-15-2002 12:13 AM

heres the depths of my sickness:

built a computer. named it "Orodruin."
set up different user settings for different themes: for example, there is a nazgul theme with a nazgul desktop, middle-earthish cursors, part of track 5 for startup, almost everything black w/red text.
there is a default "Mt.doom" theme with art from one of the mogul lotr artists, same cursors, and such. unfortunately it isn't connected to the internet-i'm doing this from my parents dell computer. it's all black and cool, my name for it is "barad-dur." one final note-i admire sauron's constructs-his fortresses and forges-not the maia himself.
now crown me lord-high-hobbit king of the computer geeks. [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img] [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img] [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img]

Thengise Greenleaf of Mirkwood 12-15-2002 02:37 AM

I'm afraid I don't have anything, because my family shares a computer, but I'm getting my own soon. Oh and Bill Ferny where did you get the revolving series of Orlando Bloom takes? Or at least where did your wife get it? LoL!

Thengise, to knowingly perpetuate evil is an evil greater than the evil first intended.

meliverinde 12-15-2002 10:37 AM

Hi everybody!
This picture of Minas Tirith has been my wallpaper for over 2 years and I still think it looks GREAT!


akhtene: I've seen a pic of the ring on the bottom of anduin
here but I don't know about a screensaver (sorry).

Ainahithiel of Mirkwood 12-15-2002 12:45 PM

*bows down to Demloth of Dol Amroth*

You are truly the Geek King.

kinda lost track of the stats.


ONLY 4 (four!!!) more days!! [img]smilies/eek.gif[/img] [img]smilies/eek.gif[/img] [img]smilies/eek.gif[/img] [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img]

Neferchoirwen 12-16-2002 11:13 AM

My golly, Demloth!

anyhoo, I used to have the painting of Bag End on my wall paper...but since the comp's in my bor's room, he put Mike Portnoy's drum set instead (interesting set).

Maybe after I get to see the movie, I'll get my bro to put up a pic of Faramir or Legolas. After all, I used to own his room

Ebony 12-16-2002 02:16 PM

I have a beautiful hand-drawn picture of Frodo looking out over the Anduin valley with Mordor in the background. I can't remember who the artist is, but it's really an excellect pic.

Right now I am using the Rivendell screen saver from the official website, but have several others loaded from there that I switch around every so often.

steve 12-16-2002 05:59 PM

I dont have any chars on my desktop, but i have the full Gallery of the Hildebrant Lotr Artwork cycling through as my Screen saver, I love the pic of Eowyn and the Witchking
