So why did you pick your avatar?

[Deftones]

I picked mine cause it makes me giggle inside every time I look at it.

[Mariamus]

I picked mine because I don't look like i'm about to slit my wrists. ;)

[Phait]

Yes yours is cute ^ :love:

Mine cause I'm a fan of The Crow.

[Gamebrain]

well, because M*A*S*H is the greatest show ever (in my opinion). And the movie is just as good.

[Dave-ros]

Mine's Davros, after whom I'm named, and basically isn't the one I had for over a year, and also isn't one that people have complained makes them feel ill :o

[Hudson]

I'm a big Jhonen Vasquez fan, don't read JTHM much anymore.. but everyone has come to know be by my avatar.

[Llama Gibbz]

Q|_|4|<3 0\/\//\/z j00!11!!1

[TBZ]

<--- Because I'm a sick, sick man..

[peoplessi]

Screams oldskool for me, I remember those games when I was really young. I blame them also for making me a gamer.

[Tang Lung]

It was a Snake smiley I made.

[Shadow Master]

I picked mine to honour an open source game that I play often [boring talk], the Battle for Wesnoth (http://www.wesnoth.org). Most graphics involved in it are copied from the game graphics, which are GPL'ed, and I made a sprite-ized version of my old portrait I drew last September in a really boring afternoon. I even bothered to save everything as layers in a GIMP .xcf file.[/boring talk]

[Orochi Avlis]

I love the series Bleach, and Ulquiorra is one of my favorite characters.

[crunchy superman]

Because it fit my user name (which has nothing to do with peanut butter, btw)

[Phait]

What'n the hell DOES it have to do with? :D

[Kalki]

From the Simpsons. A David Duchovny "Fox Mulder" cameo in a famous X-Files referenced episode. It's from a funny scene.

This was among my first avatars on this board way back in the day when the avatar feature was introduced.

[crunchy superman]

@ Phait: A silly Robyn Hitchcock song.

[Damien_Azreal]

My overly zealous love for the BLOOD series, I coudln't find a BLOOD one I really liked.
But I've always loved the piece of artwork for Blood 2, so I simply cropped it down and bam!

I changed it once or twice, but people PM'd me asking me to change it back. :eek: Seems I've become well known if only for my avatar... so I keep it. Only changing at X-Mas time.

[Water12356]

I like mine because is a funny jab at WWII propaganda posters and I love cats. lol Not to mention is kinda fitting for Bioshock due to it being in the same era (40-50's)

[The Doctor]

Took a pic from The Doctor from Star Trek: Voyager.

Then after a short while Joe gave me a better res one :)

[Batchelor]

Because Terminator 2 is an awesome movie.

[avatar_58]

I really loved Planescape torment, so I chose it's symbol. For some reason I keep coming back to it, I just like how it looks.

[Phait]

As I've said, it looks like some kind of shrimp.

[avatar_58]

The full version:

http://crap.planescape-torment.org/images/symbol/sym1.jpg
http://crap.planescape-torment.org/images/symbol/blackwhite.jpg

[Micki!]

Mine is obviously because i am a huuuuge Alien fan... The pic is from an awesome movie poster of the first movie... i use only that, or two others refering to the first, and second movie... Because those are my favorites... I don't use any pics from any of the other movies, it's a respect kind of thing... 1 and 2 are the best :cool:

The girl in the foreground.? That's Excel, from the Excel Saga comic series... A genious story that pretty much pokes fun of anything related to it's genre... it's very VERY different to what most usual manga series are like (story wise and content wise), and it makes overused cliche's awesome again by purposedly making fun of them...
Even haters of the art style, and general haters of anything Manga related are BOUND to like many parts of this series...

Ehhr, she's in there too because i love both franchises equally much (that's saying alot)...
Look, even the Alien wants her... :love:

[Deth]

Because I'm a sucka for my GF.

[Destructor]

Because I wanted it to be a kid holding a chainsaw. :p

EDIT: Alright, I intended it to be a sign of my devilish inner youth. I was a good little boy back in the day but I loved games like Doom and Duke. :cool:

[GOK]

I grew up in the 70's - it's how I see myself in a mirror. Too many bad, bad trips and loud, loud music.

[gamejunkie]

Because George Carlin is one of my favorite comedians.

[Plagman]

Because Iron Maiden rocks and because A Real Dead One has a perfect setlist and because it looks awesome.

[Nacho]

Because my name is Nacho and I used this avatar on a few other forums and then lost the pic. When I found it again I thought it would be easy for people to recognize me with it.

[Towelie2k4]

I chose mine mostly because you can't help but fall in love with her expression.

http://img182.imageshack.us/img182/6459/wubls0.gif

[Kevin Wolff]

Because only Microsoft could get away with having that guy as CEO.

[Steve]

I have no idea.

[Wooloomooloo]

Carmageddon FTW

[Kalki]

Duke is cool Steve, that's why! :tinyted:

It's a classic. :cool:

[Steve]

Duke is cool Steve, that's why! :tinyted:

It's a classic. :cool:

No denying the coolness of Duke ;)

[Hendricks266]

Because Major Stryker is awesome.

Any fan of the game will notice that I have the side shields and speed powerups on.

[Jeff]

Because only Microsoft could get away with having that guy as CEO.

Who is that guy anyways?

[Detharin]

i really should set an avatar, meh ill get around to it. Its only been a couple years without one, whats a couple more.

[BillyD]

I saw my picture on a Mr. Beer advertisement. A picture of a funny looking old asian guy holding a huge mug of beer seemed humorous to me. (I don't know that he's really asian, but that's what makes me laugh so I continue to believe it)

[Betelgeuse]

Because i find a skull with mickey mouse ears amusing, i use the same avatar for Trackmania United. \o/

[Martin Howe]

Duke preys on aliens, Doomguy preys on demons, BJ preys on NAZIs and cats prey on... pretty much anything small that moves. I :love: cats. Johnson is my favourite cat.

And I hate the Crazy Frog.

http://www.martinsobservationpost.net/system/burnfrog.jpg

I really loved Planescape torment, so I chose it's symbol. For some reason I keep coming back to it, I just like how it looks.I say it looks like a Gou'ald (http://www.scifiscience.co.uk/img/stargate/goauld.jpg) tripping on LSD :P

[Parkar]

Well, it's Duke and I made him. Will update it once he has more then what is shown in the pic.

[motionblur]

I'm a big Jhonen Vasquez fan, don't read JTHM much anymore.. but everyone has come to know be by my avatar.
Rock and Roll, my good man.
I remember your first avatar was Misfits .... :cool:

My avatar has similar reasons. Changed it pretty often in the beginning but then I decided to go for some constancy, here. So it's this one. Jeap.

[jimbob]

picked it because i had drawn it myself and i quite like it even today :p

i also made a few variations for the hollidays

[RedSplat]

Because splatters are cool, especially red ones. :D

[Simon Charles]

Because I love to write.

[Micki!]

picked it because i had drawn it myself and i quite like it even today :p


"Toast"

:D

If you still remember..? :o

[Destroyer]

I dont have one, and im gonna keep it that way, because that shows i dont give a *$%& about avatars. :)

[Phait]

But avatars make your post quicker to recognise.

[Destroyer]

agreed and im probably the only frequent poster here who doesnt have one, thus making it easier to recognize me :)

[Rider]

Who are you again?

My avatar is, quite simply, the first letter of my nick, but logo-ized. I've had some variations over the past, and this is the most recent (and IMO the best looking) one I've cooked up. I especially like the way the eye seems to be 'looking' at whatever I just typed.

I'll probably make a new one someday, but it'll always be the same set up :)

[Dave-ros]

Destroyer, didn't you have a black-and-white Max Payne avatar before the move to the current board software? (Possibly one of the default ones...)

[John]

Because The Beatles pwn.

[Crispy Critters]

'cause it's me.

[sawn_off]

agreed and im probably the only frequent poster here who doesnt have one, thus making it easier to recognize me :)

Look out 'cause I'm movin' in on your turf!:D

I always thought Avatar_58 was just a Mortal Kombat fan. Picture still looks like it. The resemblance is eternal.

[Kennerado]

Because I was a fan of The Big Lebowski before it was cool to be a fan of the movie.

[Roma Loom]

teh trooper-on-teh-toilet fetish. kthanxbye.

[IwantMORE]

It's one of my first 3dmodels. Basic I know but it's been my avatar here for ages.

I added the red/white St Georges Cross to the image during the (real) football world cup.

Well at least it's original!

[Mister_Anderson]

Yeah, mine has to do with some little movie (whos name escapes me) coming out next year that Im mildly excited about...

[Micki!]

Destroyer, didn't you have a black-and-white Max Payne avatar before the move to the current board software? (Possibly one of the default ones...)

Yes he did, i know, because he was on my "3DR Forum Members group pic #2" drawing, in which i made peoples avatars, instead of imaginaray versions of them...

Too bad Joe's head got so big, haha, took alot of space

Also too bad it turned out pretty shitty... I could have done it alot better :o

Jimbob, yours in there too, still the same :D

[Detharin]

The no avatar trophy is mine, mine i say!

[December Man]

I change mine a lot, but I think I'll stick with Edward Carnby from Alone in the Dark 4 which I will probably never play because it comes out on consoles only. Carnby looks cool on this picture and he was the first survival horror character I met(in AitD 3).

[Phait]

'cause it's me.

The best kind to have.

[Altered Reality]

I originally had one of the default avatars, but I thought it was lame. Back then, the Chuck Norris Facts were very popular, so I looked for a Chuck Norris photo and used it as my avatar.

[8IronBob]

I designed this bi-colored plus sign using two 3D Pong paddles, because I am one who sees where the gaming frenzy came from, and how it got its popularity. Also, I'm one who likes to "reinvent the wheel" when it comes to bringing these retro games back with some flair attached. Being a hobbyist software engineer and game designer, I probably may see this as being something to influence me to do more with that...

[gt1750]

Cause I :love: Alfas

I might change the avatar soon though

[ShadeEX]

Because it's me, well sort of..

It was the day before the Danish premier of the Simpsons Movie.. And I had been looking for a new Avatar for quite some time actually. (I got a bit tired of having the stock Commander Keen avatar). So I see the Simsonize thread, and made an Avatar in honer of the Danish Premier wich was on the next day..

And I actullay think I'll keep it, because it's personallized for me and I love how it looks..

EDIT:
though I might resize it since I think it's a bit too small

[jimbob]

"Toast"

:D

If you still remember..? :o
ofcourse i do, i`m just not sure if i still have them laying about my harddrive though

[edit] aparently not :o :(

i hope i can find them somewhere of that someone has them laying around.

[Dreams]

I :love: Space Quest III!

[Dogy]

It's one of the better 2142 pics suited for an avy that I've found in my many Google searches.

[wieder]

Because.

[Hudson]

Because.

I'm sure it has nothing to do with a certain project I'm drooling in anticipation for info on, eh?

[Micki!]

Because.

Because, it's obvious... :o

Well, I know that he had that Duke Nukem Radioactive Logo for a while, but I think that he just got rid of that about a year ago, IIRC... Nice nuclear orb, tho Net, that may prove superior to the radioactive symbol.

[CycoAbyss]

I picked mine due to a picture I took of my bass guitar one day. I liked the way it turned out and stuck with it.

[The Dukenator]

I've always liked this artwork of Eddie. I've used other avatars, but I prefer this one. Actually, I was tired of the other one I had, so I switched to this one.

[Telee]

Because dinosaurs are awesome.

[TerminX]

My current avatar is the warning light that shows up in the instrument cluster when I drive with traction control off.

My current avatar is the warning light that shows up in the instrument cluster when I drive with traction control off.

Heh, traction control. The one time I put my foot down while driving my Dad's car (VZ Holden Commodore), which has that feature installed, I went all over the place - fortunately not hitting anything. Just goes to show that even traction control doesn't help if you drive like a dick. :p

[hell-angel]

Mine is from the DNF cult, need to say more ;)

Mine is from the DNF cult, need to say more ;)

Yeah, it looks exactly like Kristian Joensen's avatar :D

[NetNessie]

I remember making that avatar a year or so ago, when the cult first started. I have a few of those PSD's still hanging around in a junk folder somewhere :D

[Kev_Boy]

Because it pokes its nose into every single post I make for things to complain about, well I'll tell you something... that's exactly how Nazi Germany started! (http://www.fpsbanana.com/maps/17620) :p

[dan2091]

I chose mine because Michael Keaton is a great actor to me.. Also, many people say I kinda look like him, well that's another story.. the point is that he is the best..

EDIT: looking at the avatar now, the main difference is that I have bigger eyebrows.

[Beelze]

Because 'Command & Conquer' was one of the first games that I really got into, and the Brotherhood of Nod (to which the symbol belongs) was my favorite side in that game. I also happen to find scorpions beautiful.

[Altered Reality]

I can't remember a time on these forums when I wasn't a green glowing orb thing...
I suppose that when you feel really, really low, your avatar turns into this:

[Sang]

I had to check back to see what my avatar was.. So it probably doesn't mean much to me :o I guess I'll change it to some musician I like.

[TBZ]

It's from The Devils Advocate right? :)

[ZaphodB]

I used to have a tank I drew as my avatar, but changed it last year to the ZB man himself (the well done ZB from the mini-series, not that god-awful cut up movie that got put out) so that my avatar would match my nick.

[Phait]

^ Your avatar scares me because the guy on the left looks dead or fake :insomnia:

[widowmaker]

I couldn't decide. :p

[ZaphodB]

^ Your avatar scares me because the guy on the left looks dead or fake :insomnia:

It's an animatronic head. If you haven't seen the BBC miniseries, I suggest it. It has more of the convos/word play that the books and radio series had then that messed-up movie.

[Phait]

I live in America, I've never seen BBC. But I've listened to BBC World News :D

[ZaphodB]

You can buy the mini-series on DVD at Best Buy (I did). You don't have to be in the UK and watch BBC TV to see it :)

And I live in the US too (Virginia)

[Sang]

It's from The Devils Advocate right? :)

Right.

[Malgon]

I chose mine cause I like the sorcerer type feel. I might continue with the bad guys theme, throw in some cool good characters, then a simpsonized version of me, and finally a picture of myself someday! :D

/note to self - Change avatar soon. :p

[Phait]

^ I've always thought that was some guy sniffing kryptonite.

[Towelie2k4]

I've always thought it was a guy playing some sort of supernatural Jazz instrument. :o

[Nihilanth]

Why did I choose mine? Hm... Maybe it was... no... Because, lemme, hmm... just a sec... Damn it, can't remember now. :(

But I've got new one (actually it's very very old one which I used somewhere else) that I will set as soon as possible.

Hehe, nice. :)

It's just the Rasputin character ressurrecting the creature Sammael from the Hellboy movie. Someone once mentioned it looked like a huge booger being pulled out of his nose! :D

[dan2091]

I though it was the guy from matrix....

[Hudson]

He's smoking an electric joint

[Malgon]

At least my avatar's getting noticed! :p :D

[Cleric]

Mine made me chuckle at the time, but now I've grown bored with it. I need something new.

[Malgon]

I reckon it's cool. :) Maybe you could continue with the theme, just using different quotes and characters.

[Shadow Master]

Yeah. It's a classic. I say keep it.

[NetNessie]

Hey cool, i like it
Wow I really like that.. Nice work dude.

Cheers :D

Alright, I'll keep it for now . . .but if I come across something better, it's a-changin'.

I am finally able to change my avatar to one that fits the name. . .
It feels good to be in these new shoes; they fit quite nice and they are penguin leather.

[Sang]

Woot! Say hello to Mr. Reznor

Picked it because I saw the Closer video recently, and I thought it looked quite weird (in a cool way)

[Shadow Master]

Updated mine, now that the Can'tChangeAvatar craze is over.

[Llama Gibbz]

Ive gained a new power this morning. :p

[Phait]

Cause Subaru is bast evar!!11 and rally racing is all we need.

[Deftones]

Now that the not being able to change your avatar is fixed I can put up the one that depicts why I have the name Deftones. :D

All time favorite band.

[Phait]

^ They have a great cover of The Cure's "If Only Tonight We Could Sleep": http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jU4ElIEbeqE

[Scream]

I was getting a little tired of the Edvard Munch "Scream" (been using it for 5 years plus) so swapped it out for the scream from Pink Floyd's The Wall. ADM saw it and took it away and Photoshopped it into this. Pretty cool. :)

[Phait]

I always thought Van Gogh did the scream painting...

You don't mind me to have that in my signature, do you? :p

This is, like, the history of my avatars:

Late 2006: http://img97.imageshack.us/img97/4476/shadowmaster2hk0.gif
'twas a Keen-ish sprite of myself, based upon...

A CorelDRAW drawing of my portrait:
Early 2007: http://i144.photobucket.com/albums/r176/shadowm2006/sm60x60_2notrans.gif

Then, came this weirdness that I painted while drunk (watermelon-drunk):
Early 2007: http://i144.photobucket.com/albums/r176/shadowm2006/SMFRAME.png

And then, I decided to honour a game instead of myself:
Middle 2007: http://i144.photobucket.com/albums/r176/shadowm2006/bfw_avatar_base.png

And the current, well, it's at my left. :p

[Scream]

I always thought Van Gogh did the scream painting...


Nah, on the rare occasion when Van Gogh painted people up close (usually self portraits), it was never that abstract.

Munch did a bunch of different versions of The Scream, and it has become one of the best known pieces of art on the planet. I've always liked it, but it was time for an avatar change. :)

One of the Munch originals got stolen a couple years ago. Not sure if they ever recovered it or not.

[Shadow Master]

They were a couple of months ago IIRC.

[December Man]

Because 'Command & Conquer' was one of the first games that I really got into, and the Brotherhood of Nod (to which the symbol belongs) was my favorite side in that game. I also happen to find scorpions beautiful.

GDI FER LIFE, MAN!! *spams GDI symbol, throws random obscenities and writes 3 paragraphs as to why GDI owns you so hard; attitude kinda like in World of Warcraft forums*

[Sang]

Muchas graçias (or.. whatever) to Phait for giving me a better version of my avatar!

[Damien_Azreal]

I think I'll keep my avatar as is... for however long I stay here.

The few times I ever did change it I was urged to change it back. I guess without my Blood 2 pic I blend into the background. :p

[Phait]

I wish people had avatars more representative of themselves, because... Laffer had a cat that was turned/looking sideways.

EVERYTIME I talk to him on MSN I "hear" his messages in high-pitched voice as if the cat is speaking, it's ingrained >_<

[Damien_Azreal]

So judging by your current avatar do you make vroom vroom noises when speaking? :p

[Phait]

No :p I tend to use my own face, but that gets boring :p

[Hendricks266]

…drop the ¸ on the ç Sang, and you've got it right. (although “gracias mucho” might be better)

right okay

[Phait]

Yeah, just a bit :p

[Chase334]

I always thought the strange chinese woman from Shadow Warrior was hilarious...thus the avatar.

[Gamebrain]

2 words: Bob Saget!

[Dead Chief]

although “gracias mucho” might be better

That's like saying "Much thanks", sounds really bad and it's completely wrong.

It's "Muchas gracias" as gracias is feminine, Mucha is feminine of "many" , and mucho is feminine of "many" as well. You'll want to use Mucha or muchas depending on the context.

It seems most people didn't. I couldn't work out why someone who hated Halo would have a Halo avatar, but then it hit me :D

[Tang Lung]

At a glance it looks a lot like the DooM marines helmet as well. :p
I had that feeling ever since I first saw Master Chief. "Wtf, is that the Doom guy?"

I actually never noticed that either :insomnia:

But now that you both mention it it's glaringly obvious that they just ripped off the Doom guy :censored:

[Micki!]

"And what's he doing hanging out with Apone and the United States Colonial Marines?!"
Hahaha :D

"Knock it off Hudson" :tinyted:

[Shadow Master]

At a glance it looks a lot like the DooM marines helmet as well. :p

Forgot this. I thought the same. :p

[TerminX]

TerminX, I miss your Daikatana advert avatar -- the red colour (for danger) really brought home that this was a mod not to be screwed with :o
And now, for a limited time only, my special edition Daikatana-inspired avatar is back. :o

[Damien_Azreal]

Love it. :D

[Dave-ros]

Hurrah! :woot:

[Kalki]

It looks Angry.

[Micki!]

I forgot how fun it was... haha

[Deep-Space Warrior]

I pick my ava because i like deep-space nebulas and all stuff with that.:D

[Shadow Master]

Great.

Huzzah!! :D

[NetNessie]

And now, for a limited time only, my special edition Daikatana-inspired avatar is back. :o

Ahhh, the gool ol' days. :cool:

[Dave-ros]

Next thing you know, Fnord will be back............ or possibly not :o

[Hendricks266]

Post Thead = Fnord unless I'm not getting something.

[Damien_Azreal]

Post Thead = Fnord

Close but not really.

[Malgon]

Hey dude, I downloaded the 34MB top 100 pack from www.spacetelescope.org. It has quite a few shots if you ever want to change. ;) And if you're really bored download the 3 gig pack, for those ultra high original shots instead! :eek: :D

[Deep-Space Warrior]

Wow!:eek:
Thanks man!
I thing i just found the perfect one...:D

[Little Conqueror]

The avatar is a portrait of my namesake from one of many video games he's appeared in. I'm very interested in ancient Chinese history, if you couldn't tell.

[tpz]

I made this one because it is unique, and I simply like it.

[Damien_Azreal]

It reminds me of Ünderbheit from "The Venture Bros"

http://content.answers.com/main/content/wp/en/thumb/a/a0/250px-Unterbheit.gif

[tpz]

Yeah, that lower-jaw looks quite similar.

[Zztx]

I love FLCL. Duh.

Why not Haruko or Canti, then? Hm.

Even at twenty, I still feel like a kid. Not in the blissful and innocent way, but in the manner of being hopelessly confused, disillusioned and intimidated by the "real world," as it's called.

Yep.

Shit, thanks mate! Very cool :)

[Xgthug]

Spawned by the hatred of popular music comes the project in which I did this art for.

..A music project my friend and I started a couple years ago.

[JR Ewing]

Well if my username doesn't say it all, then I guess you've never heard of Dallas. I am a HUGE Dallas fan and of course I'm going to pick the guy everyone loves to hate, JR Ewing.

[Daedolon]

I just wanted to make one of my own and I think I saw a similar design somewhere. It supposedly should spell "world domination" in japanese, can't be sure though :D I got it to look pretty cool so I kinda stuck with it around all forums.

[Malgon]

Wow! :eek:
Thanks man!
I thing i just found the perfect one...:D

Shit, thanks mate! Very cool :)

You're welcome. :) I thought the pack rocked. :cool:

[Dead Chief]

I'd like to know what CyberRaptor has to say in this thread.

[Micki!]

I'd like to know what CyberRaptor has to say in this thread.

Whatever his explanation is (hopefully not because he's influenced, hehe), i think i recogize the movie it's from...
The movie being; 'American History-X' -i believe it's called...

[Dead Chief]

Yep, good movie, but you just don't put THAT as your avatar you know...

[Micki!]

That's true, it does seem rather inappropriate... At least that symbol shouldn't be there...

Then again, is it any different to use a Wolfenstein (any of the games) screenshot as avatar..? I mean, there are lot of those symbols in there too

Nah, i dunno...

[Damien_Azreal]

True.

There could always be someone who has never seen the film and could find it offensive.

[Micki!]

Yeah, Wolfenstein at least is a popular game, people recognize that...
if that's not teh case, it's at least obiovus it is a game...
This however, could just as well be the pic of some random reallife nazi beating someone, or doing some other nazi-like things...

Other than eating, drinking, and sleeping...

[Quakis]

I have this avatar, because Aruruu is one of my favourite characters from the anime, Utawarerumono.

[Shadow Master]

I have this avatar, because Aruruu is one of my favourite characters from the anime, Utawarerumono.
Cute, but I think I saw her somewhere else... or is it just me? Oh well.:p
Don't ask me why I keep modifying my avatar pixel-by-pixel everyday.

[JackpotDen]

I miss daria.

[alexgk]

Whoever remembers what was my first avatar wins a cookie.

[Ellolo17]

Changed my avatar. I had the nuclear simbol, but it was possible to find someone using the same.

Now i changed to this one: This is from an old spanish game which is being re-maked. Why did i choose him? Because i like the image.

[Malgon]

@JackpotDen - Man that show rocked. :cool:

[Deep-Space Warrior]

Whoever remembers what was my first avatar wins a cookie.

Was it dwarf's wife?? Or bucked of gold? Or a cookie?:D
Did i win the cookies? Did i ha, did i?

[Nihilanth]

I have this avatar because:

* I love X-COM
* I like Terror from the Deep the most out of the entire series
* Terror from the Deep reminds me of BioShock
* I love underwater
* Submarines are cool and Alien Subs are even better
* I wait for the next (true) X-COM game (hopefully by Irrational Games/2K Boston/Australia)
* I wait for DNF
* I think that pic looks pretty good as an avatar :)

[alexgk]

Was it dwarf's wife?? Or bucked of gold? Or a cookie?:D
Did i win the cookies? Did i ha, did i?
Sorry, you didn't. But you've won a consolation prize: a jar filled with fresh air!

[Deep-Space Warrior]

A glass of fresh air? How nice from you, but no thanks! We, in Slovenia, have got more then enought of fresh air!;)... for now...

Btw:Were i even close? It would be much useful, if you would give me/us a hint!:D

[alexgk]

Well, here it goes:
This character wears a
H _ _ a _ _ o u _ E n _ _ r _ n m _ _ _ S _ _ _

Piece of cake ;).

[Deep-Space Warrior]

Holly piece of spaghetti!:censored:

B? C? D? F?:confused:

You will hang me...:(

[alexgk]

Videogame character. Very famous. G.F. . More than that I cannot say.

[Chase334]

Who is Gordon Freeman?

[Ellolo17]

H _ _ a _ _ o u _ E n _ _ r _ n m _ _ _ S _ _ _
The last one is soul!!

Raziel from lok:soul reaver ?

[alexgk]

Who is Gordon Freeman?
Correct!
Unfortunately, I've already eaten the cookie, I was hungry, I'm a human after all :dopefish:.
This was it. (http://www.hlfallout.net/forums/uploads/av-13051.jpg?_time=1189041189) Thanks to VGCats ;).

The last one is soul!!

Raziel from lok:soul reaver ?
Mmmmmmm.....no.

[Deep-Space Warrior]

No cookies, no fresh air, no nothing...

But we still have our beer! :confused: what is this? no beer smillie awaiable?:(
Someone should really do something about that! Create a new thread: The bar ( a place for a beer, a lot of it, and juice of course:D)

Sawe water, drink beer!;)

Well, then i'll drink some peach juice...:p

[Tang Lung]

Mine is from a hilarious comic that Micki! posted. I stole it, and now it is mine.

[Deep-Space Warrior]

What a interesting... head...:D

Alien attack!:dopefish:

[M_DeX]

I got my avatar when i was searching in worth1000.com
i thought it would look cool and there it is... Simple

[Phait]

Cause Hitman rocks and the movies looking good.

[Phait]

Well, it's Duke and I made him. Will update it once he has more then what is shown in the pic.

Just noticed the head is too small.

[gt1750]

'Cause Red Meat is teh coolest webcomic evar!!!1! :p

[Deep-Space Warrior]

Cause Hitman rocks and the movies looking good.

No ofence please, but Is that picture from hitman when he was in his yunger age?:o:eek:

[Phait]

No that's him generally.

[superevilcube]

Because I love FFVIII and Rinoa's cool.

[Boo Boo Juice]

Because I am a big 2D fighting fan and Ryu can beat you up.
I'm actually thinking about changing it though. I'm not too sure if I want to change it to Guile or Terry Bogard.

[Dopefish7590]

because i am a dopefish fan and a duke fan... so i just gimp'ed it up and used it as an avatar

[Deep-Space Warrior]

Eh, i changed it from Deep space nebula, to a pirate... arrrrg! Give arrr a bucked full of gold! Arrrg!:D

[8IronBob]

Got this avatar and siggy now, because I love the Blackhand Edition of "The Godfather" on the Wii, and recently watched the movie to back it up. It's just been a nice movie series and game to play. Probably better than most GTA clones out there. At least it's based off a real city, real movie, and probably one of the best movie-based games ever made.

[Deth]

My avatar is a picture of my sexy self. I figure it gives everyone who reads my posts and idea of what I look like. Plus, my old avatar had gotten out dated.

[Thief]

My favourite villain, Chairface Chippendale, from the ever-populated list of Super-Villains from one of my favourite cartoons, The Tick.

[ZuljinRaynor]

Cause I like Kasumi from DOA. She's cute in how she looks and how she acts.

[Deep-Space Warrior]

What a chick!:eek:

[Denz]

because lol

[Deep-Space Warrior]

Funny...avatar.....:p

[Shadow Master]

My favourite villain, Chairface Chippendale, from the ever-populated list of Super-Villains from one of my favourite cartoons, The Tick.
lol, I liked that series.

[SpamViking]

Because Robert Tilton's facial expressions are priceless :D

[Micki!]

lol, I liked that series.

Yeah, it's aweosme :D
It reminded me alot of Earthworm Jim actually... I'm wondering if it's made by some of the same artists...

I laughed at Denz's Avatar btw :D

[Malgon]

The Tick rocked! :cool:

[Deftones]

because lol


rofl if this was a contest you would of won with that avatar and statement.

[Brick_Sledge]

Because I took the photograph myself and thought it would be nifty to have an avatar 100% made by me.
