X-Busted

As long as I'm being completely random, I thought I'd put up this poster/desktop background/whatever that I made in GIMP. All of the images are either official art or ripped directly form the games. This won't mean much to those who aren't already Megaman X fans, but hopefully it'll at least turn up in Google Image searches.
It might show up a bit funny on some monitors, because I made it to be 1366x768 to be the same size as my laptop monitor, but it seemed to look fine on the 1280x768 monitor on the family desktop, so I'm not sure if I'll make another version, even though I guess that would be the "pro" thing to do. The only real concern that I have is that I think I might have gotten the wrong Sigma picture for Megaman X8 on the bottom right (all the forms of Sigma were shown in their order of appearance from the various games on the sides). I think I might have accidentally gotten an image of Sigma's final form there instead of the regular Sigma appearance, which I used for all the other pictures to make it recognizable, so if anything is going to be fixed, it's that. Personally, I use this as my desktop background, but for someone that has a lot of icons, that might not work out. I just dragged all of mine to the blue spots.
While I'm promoting Megaman X, you can play the original Megaman X on http://www.virtualsupernes.com/ (yes, it's legal, as long as you don't download the game for your own uses), and they have a bunch of other old games playable there too. Hopefully, they'll eventually add X2 and X3 there, also, because I have to say X2 was my favorite in the series.
If you want to use the picture yourself, fine, but don't claim you made it yourself because you didn't.
