Liontamer Posted June 12, 2008 Share Posted June 12, 2008 I'm just a big fan of our ongoing avatar project. (For any total n00bs, those are the little character icons next to people's forum names). Thanks to the help of our users, we now have nearly 1200 different choices for everyone to use. So, particularly for any lurkers or non-registered people out there, fire up that forum account, pick an avatar and lemme know why you chose it! Depending on what you pick, you're likely to have a unique choice that no one else is using. I've got Bowser pictured from Tetris Attack. He's a great villain, and he's got a great evil look on him here. I figured it would be appropriate to pick a villain, as being both a mod and a judge, I'm thus a scourge of the community!

Dhsu Posted June 12, 2008 Share Posted June 12, 2008 Hey, why just the lurkers? I want to explain my avatar too! :[ Actually I'm not sure why I picked Shiki specifically. I do like Melty Blood though, and his character just seems to fit me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Orichalcon Posted June 12, 2008 Share Posted June 12, 2008 Yeah, screw the noobs. Slig is an awesome video game character, and I'm the only one who can use it, so nyeh. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brushfire Posted June 12, 2008 Share Posted June 12, 2008 Thus far as I know, I'm the only one using Apollo Justice. Before that I had Nabeshin, but then everyone started using it so I had to change. Conformist sheep... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doulifée Posted June 12, 2008 Share Posted June 12, 2008 Lezard Valeth: Valkyrie profile. not quite evil, just an obsessive man with good magic knowledge and power. One of the best fight i made in the Seraphic Gates. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bunjiro Posted June 12, 2008 Share Posted June 12, 2008 I chose Sam because, well, I was looking through the avatars available and just happened to stumble upon him. That, and I've always liked him - he's always calm but deadly sarcastical/cynical, something I wish to be at times too. Oh, and trench coats are cool.

Brycepops Posted June 12, 2008 Share Posted June 12, 2008 Michael Chaos was one of the few avatars I submitted a while back, and I'm just really happy that it was accepted Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fishy Posted June 12, 2008 Share Posted June 12, 2008 A while ago I decided Kain would be my mascot for obvious reasons. He's a backstabbing pile of awesome with a massive pointy stick! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Jarna Posted June 12, 2008 Share Posted June 12, 2008 I actually was playing my way through Live A Live when I created an account here, and since the Cowboy chapter was my favorite I decided on ol' Sunset here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NZman Posted June 12, 2008 Share Posted June 12, 2008 The Commander Keen games kept me sane as an english-speaking first grader in a school that taught classes in hebrew exclusively. They were the first games I ever played. So, yeah. I chose the avatar out of sentiment mostly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LuckyXIII Posted June 12, 2008 Share Posted June 12, 2008 The original Earthworm Jim on SNES was one of my favorite games for a loooong time. I loved the irreverence of it, the good gameplay, and the animated graphics are great. I was also drawn to the music (still am). EWJ was also the first time I tried drawing other cartoon characters as practice and it helped solidify the development of my own drawing style. So yeah - sentimentality mostly.

kyne Posted June 12, 2008 Share Posted June 12, 2008 Onions are delicious as a garnish. Also, the sometimes hard to swallow Legend of Mana reminded me of why i enjoy well made 2-d games. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iskyoork Posted June 12, 2008 Share Posted June 12, 2008 I think a Shy Guy is appropriate for a lurker. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tensei Posted June 12, 2008 Share Posted June 12, 2008 MISERY. Cavestory is an awesome game, and Misery is an awesome pixely villainess who like to teleport around and fuck shit up with black magic. Too bad she's just a henchman(henchwoman?), she totally needs her own spinoff game due to interesting backstory. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dunnowhathuh Posted June 12, 2008 Share Posted June 12, 2008 It's like offering an olive branch to all the unregistered users out there....only to be shot down by the more l33t of OCR. Not sure why I picked Cloud, probably cuz of some mild fanboyism for the game. Been thinking of changing it but it's been unchanged for 4 years, has some sorta sentimental value now.

The Author Posted June 12, 2008 Share Posted June 12, 2008 I picked the Eye of Sauron. Because I kinda liked the ominous aspect. Back when I changed names once a year, I would let the person pick the avatar. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Triad Orion Posted June 12, 2008 Share Posted June 12, 2008 Originally, I used Mega Man X and then Protoman, but tons of people ended up using them for awhile. So I switched to Isaac, from Golden Sun. Mostly because Golden Sun is one of my favorite games *ever* and I actually liked him as a character (Crono Syndrome is part of his character, before anyone makes comment). And I'll probably keep this one because I like it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SirChadlyOC Posted June 12, 2008 Share Posted June 12, 2008 I picked Nu from Chrono Trigger. Back when the game came out, I was practicing drawing and I used to draw Nu and the Final Fantasy 3/6 version of a Moogle. Ever sInce then, he's been a mascot of mine. A long with Trogdor the Burninator. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaybell Posted June 12, 2008 Share Posted June 12, 2008 The crystalis guy because no one else seems to have used him and crystalis was a pretty okay game. I forget what I was using before that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OceansAndrew Posted June 12, 2008 Share Posted June 12, 2008 Eggplant wizard and I go way back, but we haven't always been the best of friends. When we first met, his intimidating stare and ability to turn me into an eggplant both gave me nightmares, and made me never eat an eggplant. I was bitter for a long long time. 21 years later, I have finally realized what a service he was doing me, since eggplants aren't especially tasty. Thank you, my friend; we shall never be apart again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kulaman Posted June 12, 2008 Share Posted June 12, 2008 I picked Zero from MMX when I first registered. Do I really need an explanation for why I use Zero? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DrumUltimA Posted June 12, 2008 Share Posted June 12, 2008 I was born and raised on sonic. I always liked tails better though because he was the underdog (and he could fly lol) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
