The "Tell Everybody About Your Avatar" Thread

[justinautry]

Well I chose mine because well I am starting up a new religion and I shall now be known as a Colbertist because Cobert = God

:D

why did you choose the avatar you have?

[benson111]

Man i just got back from the gaming grid and bot is my data disc full...

Because Tron rules. :)

[Hungryfreak]

Mine is Manny Calavera from Grim Fandango, the classiest and most stylish adventure game EVER. Scratch that, remove 'adventure game' and you get an even truer statement.

Animal Rulz. period. ;)

[JoshuaB81285]

Mine is Coiffio from the short-lived Adult Swim cartoon "Perfect Hair Forever". Such a great show it was.

[medalofhonor]

Album art that my girlfriend made a drawing for me of. It's part of a bigger bunch of them, but it's an amp switch that only goes "on" and "on" (obviously).

JoshuaB81285: Nice sig, i agree with most of those myself ;)

[Quinarvy]

Its me, playing a guitar.

[justinautry]

[instantdeath999]

After the 6th season ended, I noticed I was dying a lot less. I made this avatar to celebrate.

"Alive" by Pearl Jam is now my theme song.

[seamjessjosh]

I have no idea how mine is relevant to Rock Band at all.... It just came to me. Please excuse my ignorance. :)

[JukeBoxHero]

One of my favorite enemy characters are Grunts. I found this picture on an art website about a year ago. I used gimp to change it's yellow armor to an cyan color.

[Rockbandfan23467]

It's a parody of Metallica's "Kill 'Em All" Album Cover.

[moneyp]

Mine is a comment on the emptiness of the exercise of free will (as in the free will of choosing one's own avatar) and how independent thought barely factors into the choices that we make, most of which are formed by the environment in which the choice is being made, and not by the person doing the choosing. Free will, as such, is mostly illusory, and ninety percent of life stories are written at birth.


Either that, or I was too lazy to come up with something. One or the other.

[sphere]

Well mine used to be Brad Delp, but then I saw this thread about how everyone should put RUSH avatars up until MP gets released, and I'm still doing it.

[Aragha]

Rush > All.

This is all.

[The_Wurm]

Well, my last name is Wurm, and my avatar is the menu screen of the god-awful video game for the nes titled Wurm. The only reason I own it is because I was at Funco Land about 9 years ago and saw it, bought it, played it for about 2 hours, haven't played it since.

[theantkid12]

Anyone who watches Southpark has seen this picture at least once in your life. It is our job to stop manbearpig once and for all I am super...serial.

Manbearpig is real. I saw him playing Halo 3

[CCZMAN77]

It's Mystery Science Theater 3000.

It was a famous show on the Sci-Fi channel where they would sit down in front of terrible B-Movies and make fun of them.

Tom Servo is my lord and ruler. That is all.

[topperharley]

mine is from a magazine ad for K-Swiss featuring an attractive Russian tennis player (and I guess there were some shoes in there, I forget...) whose identity was an unofficial contest a few months back

[CheezerRox]

I love NIRVANA.

[CCZMAN77]

Mystery science theater 3000 is the ****.:D

I'm glad I'm not the only one who knows about it for crying out loud.

[Hungryfreak]

I'm a huge fan, myself. It taught me to love B horror and sci fi movies and exposed me to Manos: The Hands of Fate, haha.

[HelenAngel]

I LOVE MST3K! I would watch the Turkey Day Marathon every year, starting way back when it was still Comedy Channel. While other girls would gush about how much they loved Christian Slater & Keanu Reeves (this was back in the 90s), I would gush about Joel (and Allan Havey) and get really strange looks. :D He was my celebrity crush from 8th grade through high school.

Oh, my avatar is me though I cut my hair so it's about chin-length now. Yeah, I know, boring. :D

[K_rok8923]

Go Cubs!!!

[HardRocker12]

Mine is because Nirvana is my favorite band, and I love the Simpsons. But I'm planning on changing it soon to a funny picture I saw of the Mona Lisa with Marilyn Manson's face. It looks hilarious.

[bwschulze]

Um, mine is The Bear. That is all.

[fatalvendetta]

Um, mine is The Bear. That is all.

[TopazDolphin]

Talking Heads.

[Rock_Starman]

Mine is a giant smiley face spaceship from the movie Heavy Metal. (I had it before the South Park episode so :p)

[Dr. Wagner]

I chose mine because I love phony, made-up controversies.

[Hungryfreak]

[Lockheed]

Cheshire Cat, read the sig, make your own conclusion. :D

[clashcityrocker10]

Mystery science theater 3000 is the ****.:D

Mystery Science Theater 3000 is one of my favorite tv shows. I have some of them on DVD, really need to get around to watching them some day...

Oh yeah, my avatar is the cover of London Calling (Paul Simonon smashing his bass). Very unexpected for someone named clashcityrocker10 (sarcasm at its simplest), but, I like the cover of the album, not to mention the music itself.

[Bobman32x]

i see wagner is a sirkowski fan.

I love the Bear. Mrr?

Mine, well mine is a stoned Kim Possible, but i admit its kind of hard to see that she's stoned in such a small thumbnail. But the person that drew it, i love her style and i had the same avatar on like all my sites for 3 years so i needed a change

[FallenAce]

Mine is my eye. I run dual monitors on my desktop, so each monitor had one eye as a desktop image. It creeped people out when they'd wake up my machine and see it staring at them.

[HMXDave]

I'm a Prinny, dood!

[Wolfee360]

It's a long story ask DAVE!!!!!! lol

[HMXDave]

Thank you, my friend Lisa who made it will be very happy.

[Lady O]

world's smallest body builder...coz good things come in small packages... and other things are just plain weird.

[Kobal2]

It's a character from the now long dead webcomic Life of Riley - a vampire gamer to be precise.

Since I'm very much of a night person, have the pasty white complexion of geeks everywhere and freakishly huge canines...yeah.

[NunHugger]

Nuns...yeah!
Pirates...hell yeah!
Pirate Nuns...OMGWTFHAX!!1!1!!!

[WhiffleBallTony]

Electric Wizard is one of the greatest bands ever, so... yeah.

[TakeABow]

Matt Bellamy (of Muse) playing Butterflies and Hurricanes live in Perth (November 2007).

[GetRoached]

The crowd hand gesture for the band Umphrey's Mcgee, because they rock too hard for one hand, Plus I think its because it looks more like a U.

[Bobman32x]

this thread needs to live. too many users have unexplained avatars!

[Diztorsion182]

[Cpt. Overkill]

It's Mystery Science Theater 3000.

It was a famous show on the Sci-Fi channel where they would sit down in front of terrible B-Movies and make fun of them.

Tom Servo is my lord and ruler. That is all.

I remember that show...

It was on when I was younger, and I always found it reaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaally boring, my step-dad watched it a lot.

Id probably find it interesting if I went back and watched it.

[Sayburr]

Back when I used to write for Kenzer and Company I met Brian and Brandon Fraim, both of whom worked on Kenzer Co's Knights of the Dinner Table comic... Well, Brian and Brandon did the Avatar for me. I have lost over 50lbs since they drew this, so I actually have a chin now...

Also I think those are pretty cool shades.

[osteofight]

The owl's expression mirrors my own when I surf the net

[illgreen]

Apple is evil.:)

[culturedog]

Just an old pic of me thrashing about whilst playing a gig 'bout sixteen years ago. The hair's a bit shorter nowadays.

And for the record - MST3K freaking rocks! I got to do a radio interview with Kevin Murphy (Tom Servo) a few years back and severely geeked out.

*whistles Torgo theme and limps away*

[Aven]

The Crow. Greatest movie ever- in my opinion anyway.

[HMXDave]

The Crow. Greatest movie ever- in my opinion anyway.

Brandon Lee RIP.




Mine is my own personal logo... that I stole from a t-shirt.


EDIT: I think this is like the sixth time I've posted the same thing in this same thread. Lol.

[Aven]

Lol, But yes. Brandon Lee RIP indeed.

[Wolfbeckett]

Mine is the Blue Moon Rune from the Suikoden game series. I like the look of it and the rune is controlled by my favorite Suikoden character, so I roll with that.

[Angel-Jin]

my avatar is from beatmaniaIIDX. His name is Shi-Low. Normally he doesn't look extremely cartoony, but in the video for Love Love Shine from 9th Style, this is what he looks like. What happens during this particular part of the vid is pretty funny too.


I am doctor Wily and I will get mega man

that's the end of the thread right there. LMAO

[culturedog]

The Crow. Greatest movie ever- in my opinion anyway.

I saw The Crow ten times in the theaters. Love that film! Shame they had to go and make all of those crappy sequels.

[Aven]

Agreed. I can stand to watch the second one.. City of Angels. After that.. I just want to cry.
