what's up guys it's CJ lips true from Pacquiao calm today we're looking at two new live wallpapers for Android one of them is based on a classic first-person shooter and the other acts as a clock but with an interesting twist let's check them out all right hopefully you guys have played or at least heard of the game Doom because it's one of the key games that helped popularize the first-person shooter genre of gaming back in the mid-90s as you can see we have the doom guy wandering around the home screen and as demons spawn around him he actually fires his weapon and they battle it out these monsters are all characters from the game and they retain the familiar graphics to give a retro feeling which I'm sure will stir up some great memories for some of you now you can interact with a wallpaper tapping on the screen will actually drop power-ups for the doom guy to pick up and use these include a variety of weapons and even a med pack to help keep him alive as you saw I dropped it a little bit too late and he died so you get the picture there are a variety of weapons by the way which makes things interesting let's slide over and if we drag and drop an icon that will spawn new enemies so that's always fun okay let's go to menu and we'll actually go to the settings screen alright here we can change the size of the characters on the screen so I'll go to low you can enable god mode which keeps the doom guy from dying enable or disable the power-ups and the spawning of monsters will change the animation speed to fast select background we have four backgrounds and we can cycle through them or we can select some plain background so I'm gonna go to black randomize monsters and then we'll increase the max monsters to 20 as you can see the characters are much smaller now and the action is much more fast paced this gives you an idea of how you can change the live wallpaper to your liking so this was the doom live wallpaper let's check out the other one I was talking about this is time star live wallpaper and as you can see it's like a hamster running in one of those little wheels so I suppose the idea is that he's actually powering the clock by getting the gears or pieces to move very interesting idea with some nice artwork as well so if we look closer you can see that there are hour and minute hands and I like that they're marked with numbers for easy reading another thing I like about having a clock for a wallpaper is that I can place icons all around it with traditional clock widgets you usually lose a portion of valuable screen real estate but that's not the case if you have the clock embedded with the wallpaper also it's nice to have the clock visible at all times no matter which screen you switched to of course sometimes icons may cover up the numbers but it's still nice nonetheless this early version doesn't have any adjustable settings yet but I know the developer plans to include customizable backgrounds and additional hamster animations for example when you turn your screen back on you'll find that he stopped running to take a nap or he'll get lazy and slow down in which case I believe the plan is to implement a way to get him motivated and running again I'm not sure how that's going to work out but we can look forward to seeing that in a future version so this was a look at the doom and x there live wallpapers for Android you can get them both for free in the Android Market please give this video a thumbs up if you liked it and thanks for watching
