Whats you're favourite Steam Background?

After seeing all the different Steam Background for various games I wonder'd what you all pick as you're favorites! I personally love Mech's and Machinery (Love Gundam) so the Strike Suit games were right up my street! I also love Eve and the whole space exploration side to it. Here's a collection of my favorites.

What are some of you're favorites?

My favourite is "Confrontation," the System Shock 2 art that was taken from Deviantart, with the robot lady looking at the space marine. Very beautiful and striking. Deviantart link: http://jimhatama.deviantart.com/art/Shodan-135337889

(Ed. note: never played System Shock 2.)

Is there a good way of looking at the different backgrounds, aside from searching the community market?

thats awesome!

http://www.steamcardexchange.net/index.php?showcase is a good place to search through for games you like the look of both badge and background wise!

I'm really liking the the Bit Trip Runner backgrounds today!

I did not know you could change the background. I think I prefer the default.

My favorites would probably be most of the ones for Tales From Space: Mutant Blobs Attack. Oh, and this one Super Meat Boy one :)

To be honest I'm a bit disappointed with how plain a lot of the backgrounds are for some games, I would have like to see more detailed or at least less empty backgrounds for stuff like Dust: AET, Portal 2, Bastion, and a few others. A simple black background with a character is just lacking something I think, especially with how great the art is for most of these.

Love the Super Meat Boy background! I agree, the Portal 2 one's I have are rather rubbish in comparison to others. Although I'd say that most games seem to have at least 1 good background out of the 5 available, but some are definitely lacking effort in terms of design. I would of loved to have seen some Portal 2 backgrounds designed around the test chambers or maybe the quirky art style they use in their adverts and displays.

Secret of the Magic Crystals!!!!

I believe the one that I use that I quite enjoy is called "I'm out..." from Monaco. Although really there are few Monaco backgrounds I dislike. Also those are really the only ones I've looked at.

I can't find a good pic of it, but the Biker from Hotline Miami is my Favorite.. in fact all the HM ones are great.

@randomhero666: You might find this site handy, it lists and has images of all the cards, background, and emoticons for the various trading card supported games ^_^

I believe this is the one you're referring to. It's certainly rather memorable, though I'm not sure I'd like it on my profile...kinda gives off the wrong message...

I'm currently rocking this lovely background.

I love the Hotline Miami ones! But i agree about maybe not having them on my profile.

I just unlocked some of the Bit Trip Runner backgrounds and they do look rather sweet!

Is that from Hotline Miami? Yeah, I saw a few of those and they just look absolutely amazing!

...Steam has backgrounds? Huh...guess I'll set something then!

I really like this Meatboy one. In fact I just went and bought it for 3p after seeing this thread.

Currently using this. Hoping they add steam cards for ultra street fighter 4 and that i can get my hands on a t.hawk background as he is my main. I doubt he'll get a background though as he is such an underrepresented character.

This one (obviously). It's also the only reason I (or anybody really) ever visit my Steam profile.

Well right now I use this:

good ol xotl-teh

I really like my Mars: War Logs background--mostly because I'm pretty sure that I'm the only person on Steam that's using it.

I don't have all that many in my inventory, but I do like the one I'm currently using:
