In the academia level (I think 400 years in the future) the background looks exactly the same as that first pic.

Academia or whatever apparently looks like New York then (if so, shame it's come to that versus the better fantasy settings of the past), because that's what that city looks like from at least one of the buildings in the picture.

Offhand, that's so much more Mirror's Edge there; the character (and their outfit and activity), the angle, and for the most part, the setting (it might be Grey rather than White and clean, but even with the city being in the background and the fence giving the illusion of being trapped and all); the overall feel is so Mirror's Edge.

Yeah, I do miss the older fantasy settings. Ever since FF7, it's been all high tech cities (of course, excluding FF9)

Final Fantasy VII and Final Fantasy VIII were more sci-fi fantasy in setting, which is fine. Final Fantasy X wasn't like that either, and yet Final Fantasy IX has "high tech" fantasy cities.

I finally got my Windows XP PC/install going more how I want with regards to theme, organization, shortcuts, other personalization, tweaks/settings, and so on.

I really, really want to get that adapter so I can use the Tualatin in this Dell. That's about all the more I want for it.

Haha! I do that too sometimes (and I imagine many have). It's really more a result of not showing it when you first started using it to begin with, either due to laziness or just lack of not caring/bothering, but then wanting to before you change it.

That's usually how it happens. Whenever I go looking for something, I don't end up with much as often as when I just come across it.

That grass effect on the bottom seems odd and out of place.

Why was it there to begin with? That looks like the standard Photoshop grass brush, and it seems out of place in a library or whatever, so I figured it wasn't normally part of it.
