Explain Your Avatar (Nothing To Do With James Cameron)

DaviesDavies
edited December 2011 in General Chat
Why did you choose the avatar you use for this forum? Is there a reason that's close to your heart? Or perhaps there's a more frivolous reason? Or perchance a sinister motivation, with an eye to world domination?

Come one, come all and share...

I think that my avatar is reasonably self explanatory, so I'll leave this question to the rest of you fellow forumites...

EDIT: Seeming as people frequently change their avatar, it may be prudent to post an image of the avatar to which your referring within your post (lest a situation occur where you've stated that you use the avatar you do due to fancying that person, only for late comers to glance over and see an image of a baby or worse still; Sarah Palin)!

    Back when Poker Night was new, someone(I forget who sorry) made this max avatar in the poker night fanart thread I believe.
    I liked it.

    Not related to James Cameron? Okay.

    LOLFUNNYOMG

    Okay, noob mode off. I got my avatar from this pic;

    brutallegend.png

    it's from this article that was linked by Mixnmojo once.

    Also, since people change avatars all the time, maybe you should tell them to post images of the ones they're explaining so we know what they're talking about. Like this:

    Okay, just to clarify...

    Keep all Navi's and Last Airbenders ect. out of this and stick to the question at hand please. *

    All clear? Good. :p

    * Unless your forum avatar happens to be a Navi or other such Avatar related material, in which case don't bother posting at all and go join the "We Love Navi's Far Too Much" forum (and get a life whilst you're at it).

    That is all.

    I fully endorse this concept.

    I chose this avatar to support the GLORIOUS REVOLUTION! That will be coming any day now, I'm sure... Just wait, you'll see!

    I was looking for a wolf pic. I didn't like any... so I took a Fox pic and modified it. I wolfitised™ it.

    I wish I could say it was 100% original, but I suck at drawing... and it's the closest thing to what I was looking for. :)

    I can't even remember what that one was about. So no.

    It's my face! Albeit underwater and almost entirely obscured by a snorkel mask. The photo was taken on a trip to the Galapagos Islands a couple of years ago, possibly the best holiday I've ever had.

    I won a contest for a custom avatar, and asked for Sam and Max.

    Full-size, sans Prince Charles:

    I might not be able to see your face but I still think you look sexy... then again, I do have a snorkel fetish. :p

    Indeed I am. I'm a freak, a weirdo, I don't know what the hell I'm doing here...

    ... but, people should be able to tell when I'm joking.

    My avatar is supposed to depict a demon head. I chose it because it should instill fear and respect in other people, thereby disguising my real unconfident self.
    Most people think it is a robot cow, though.

    Does this feel better or worse than before?

    Strangely, it feels exactly the same! Weird, huh? I guess you really don't need a brain to participate on these forums...

    My avatar is one I made for a technically still active adventure game I'm working on.

    The animation it sports was for the animation challenge that happened earlier in the year - the one that challenged participants to create a new animation every day for a month. February, I think it was. Anyway, this was one of my entries, and I liked it so much I used it as my avatar.

    I have a bunch of different avatars depending on where I am. The one I use for the Half-Life Improvement Team forum is this:
    index.php?action=dlattach;attach=7461;type=avatar

    The one I use for Steam is this:
    a0217520a9257b218aaa030e0ef8977791756ebd_full.jpg

    The one I use for the AGN forums (which I hardly ever visit anymore) is this:
    image.php?u=2176&dateline=1295805770&type=thumb

    And the one I use for The Escapist is this:
    274098.jpg

    ...let me know if you can't see any of these. I can, but that may be due to cookies and such.

    Well, I guess that's some consolation at least. Everyone else will be getting their brains eaten and I'll just be sitting there watching TV and making the hungry zombies all disappointed and sad.
