New File Format

September 1st, 2011 | Posted in Site Related

I noticed something when making my last Spider-man wallpaper, JPEG artifacts. I hated the way it looked so I decided to switch going forward to PNG. I’m pretty sure most current browsers won’t have a problem with them. I tested a few here and they all worked fine. So starting with the latest wallpaper, they’ll all be PNG. I don’t think I’ll go back and change the older ones because I haven’t noticed a problem like this before.

What if Stan Lee Named the New X-Men?

August 26th, 2011 | Posted in Comics, Found Online

I never use this blog, so I thought I’d share random stuff I find online that I find interesting.

Found this a few days ago and thought it was interesting. Never knew Stan Lee was so literal.

Would Nightcrawler be called Blue Elf? Wolverine called The Claw?

New Screen Resolutions

February 25th, 2011 | Posted in Site Related

I decided to check out google analytics for this site recently and noticed in some of the top screen resolutions I don’t have wallpapers for those sizes. Biggest one being 1366 x 768 (Which I had never heard of before, turns out to be a netbook thing.) So starting with the Fringe wallpaper I added them. I’m going to go back and the files I still have I’ll create the extra resolutions for. The wallpapers with the HD resolution have the best chance of being converted over, but first I want to create them for the ones I’m currently working on. I tend to make wallpapers a head of time and tell the database to release them on a certain date.

So eventually any wallpaper with an HD resolution will have the following resolutions added:

  • 1920 x 1200
  • 1680 x 1050
  • 1600 x 1200
  • 1600 x 900
  • 1366 x 768

Any others that people would want feel free to leave a comment.

2010s Top Wallpapers

January 3rd, 2011 | Posted in Site Related

I notice a few blogs are doing a top posts from 2010 type posts. And since I haven’t used this in awhile I thought I’d share the list of top downloaded wallpapers for 2010. It seems people really like that Captain America wallpaper. It’s been tops on almost all the stats.

Also I will be updating more than once a year. Pinky swear promise.

Mental note: edit this post if I fail to update more than once a year.

This is why I love Fringe

Cell Wallpaper (Updated with Link)

May 3rd, 2010 | Posted in Site Related

I recently got an anroid phone (HTC Incredible) and I’m thinking of making a few comic related wallpapers for it. I’ll toss in the Iphone resolution too (once I find it…). I’d like to figure out live wallpapers but that might be a bit over my head. I was also thinking of making some kind of android app for this site, but again with the over the head thing. I just know PHP not sure I have time to learn Java at the moment. Maybe if work needs an app I can learn then.

Also, I haven’t made a new wallpaper in a long time. I hope to fix that this week with atleast one new one. Sorry about the lack of updates.

Update! I made the mobile site live: http://m.heroicwallpapers.com/

Lost Theory on the Ghost of Christian Shephard

February 26th, 2010 | Posted in TV

I have a small (and by small I mean massive) obsession with the TV show Lost. I think I started watching it during season 2. Picked up season 1 on DVD and watched it in one week. You could say I was hooked. It did have it’s ups and downs, mostly downs in the middle that is until they decided to end the story. With the end in sight the show has been great in my opinion. Which brings me to the purpose of this post…

I had a lost moment in the shower this morning… and no it wasn’t about Jack and Sawyer wrestling. It’s a theory about the Man in Black/Smokey. I believe that the ghost of Christian Shephard as been the Man in Black the entire time we’ve seen him on the island. Read the rest of this entry »

Why do I still watch Smallville?

February 19th, 2010 | Posted in TV

Seriously, why? The acting is bad. The stories are flimsy at best. The lines they say are horrible. The special effects are sub-par. And I’m getting really sick of that “I’m going to walk away from you and say something profound with my back turned to you so we can have both faces on screen”, it’s annoying.

Blog Online

I’ve restarted the blog. Basically to save my wife from hearing me drone on about how messed up Smallville/Latest Comic Event/Other Geekyness is. So it’s like a marital aid.
