Why Did You Choose Your Avatar?

Recommended Posts

It's a baron of hell. I think I had an obsession with Barons when I first joined Doomworld years ago.

I had a spork avatar for a whole day a few months ago that someone gave me, but was later removed for unknown reasons. Now I'm back to this.

I just scaled down this picture. I like that picture.


All this time and I thought it was a picture of a guy aiming a gun in some tactical crouch/walk postion.


Mine is a result of me having an opportunity to have a custom avatar, but not having enough photoshopping skills to do anything but apply twirl filters. Even then, the twirl effect is non-existent because of scaing it down (another example of my then lack of skills).

At the time I finished playing MGS Twin Snakes was when I first created this avatar... I'm kinda sick of it now... Poor ol' Lizardcommando's been getting zapped for who knows how long.

My original custom avatar was the Imp Fish, which I think is a default avatar now. The last person I saw using it was Imp. I made it because I was surprised that no one made a fish avatar that resembled any Doom monsters. The Imp fish is moddified from Spike's flaming evil fish thing; done in MS paint.

I switched to this soon after the first screenshot of the Lost Soul in Doom3 came out. I found it to be the coolest looking monster. Little did I know the custom avatar option would break not long after. I might have found something that suits me better had I known that would happen.

Oh, so that's what it is. Which Monty Python work is that from?

My guess is the "R.A.F. Banter" sketch from the TV series. One of my personal favorites, I might add.

Me to. I thought it was some CS thing.

I haven't seen that. I've seen a lot of "And Now For Something Completely Different", all of Life of Brian, and Monty Python and the Holy Grail at least a dozen times.

The Grail is the best of all Monty Python, that I've seen, IMO.

It's Cardinal Biggles from the Spanish Inquisition sketch. Possibly around the point where he is saying the word "expects". Note also the slight hint of Cardinal Jiménez's "nice red uniform" behind him in the top left-hand corner.

(I checked RAF Banter and Biggles Dictates a Letter, but the head gear and moustache length don't match, amongst other things.)

That's interesting. I've seen that clip, and I nearly fell out of my chair. I just forgot that particular face.

I may be only half British, and I may not live in Britain, but man, do I love British humour. How many other Canadians my age have seen most of "Only Fools and Horses"?

Heh. Not many.

I copied one of the other user's fishies, gave it a face and modified the J avatar. Now that dsm isn't around as much I'm ashamed of my fishie's long animation time. All I want now is the fish by itself, no movement, but even if the avatar thing was working I don't know how to catch the frames I want to use. :(

I think it was Ichor who was doing the custom avatar giveaway at the time, So I made an honorary mysterious blue square. It was just coincidence that I had made a full blue water animation loop right at the same time.

Surely it should have been the odd blue square.

Heh, the forum encyclopedia strikes again.

Though since web.archive.org has been helpfully blocked in the UAE to prevent me from researching old porn sites, I can't follow the link in that thread to find out what you're talking about.

gargoylol: Yes, it was indeed after the Degenatron thread that the red square became a "hot" topic in the forums.

heh, and I'd edited that post just so it could be seen (the original link no longer functioned). Edited again to link to a page that does have this image, albeit with slightly squashed-looking squares. The ridiculous red rectangle, maybe?

i wanted my own fish avatar so i made this.

keep in mind my title used to be "insertwackytitlehere", my sig was "insertwackysignaturehere" and everything else was insertwackywhateverhere so it fit really well. i'm still proud of it though, i think it came out fairly nice. i also made a Doom 10th anniversary one once but luckily i changed it back fast enough, some people are stuck with thier 10th anniversary ones still :P

this directory should have all my various versions of my avatar and some other stuff :P

EDIT: haha i remember this:
