The only difference between a Troll and a Fanboi is which side of the fence they stand on.

Not overall, just one picture in particular:

 

I'm just curious... does anybody's desk actually LOOK like that?

Do I have the only cluttered work desk in the  world? (I don't, I know I don't)  And my home desk probably has about 10 empty beer bottles and who knows how many bottle caps.

What it looks like is that they have the EULA in the backround of the Installer Progress Meter... anybody who's assembled a package using the InstallShield knows that's not how it works. (also the scroll bar for the EULA is incredibly short... no?)

Is that a Mini-CD case there in front of the monitor?  or some sort of half-sized manual?

I've never seen the name on the back of the box in such big font... but that might just be a style choice...

 

In any case, good on you fans of DarkFall, that looks like your greatest shot of ACTUAL production value yet.  However, you'd think they'd have some sort of post like everybody else saying "Finalized BoxArt"...

Not sure what you are getting at here.. (and where you got the picture)

But it is clearly a rendered image, not an actual picture.

looks like something someone did in one of my 3ds max classes.

 

your right about the clutter though...who doesnt have a tonne of crap on their desk?

This is the way the Darkfall ends

Not with a beta but a whimper.

The movie poster in the background is a nice ominous touch and rather amusing if intentional or not.

Take a look at the website you got the picture from. They clearly called it "art".

Its fake

Neither. It doesnt exist ;)

 I guess the artist choose to stick it in there when creating it in 3dsMax

A poster that gives a glimps into the future?  Hmm, we will have to wait and see.
