Late to the party as usual. My avatar is is the source of much pain and suffering as it took me 2 months to find the source image. A cookie if you can guess who it is.

Dr. Cossack from Megaman 4?

Bill Aurion · « **Reply #127 on:** September 16, 2003, 04:08:20 AM »

I'm not changing mine until ToS comes out. That's how dedicated I am

Deguello · « **Reply #128 on:** September 16, 2003, 04:38:11 AM »

Right. Dr. Cossack. Two months, ARGH.

Thanks for your compliment ThePerm. Since I love many of the avatars I do and have I'm always changing them.

I like changing my avatar, too. In fact, I just changed from a messed up Alf avatar to a new Princess Mononoke one. I like that movie, and most other movies by that Myazaki fellow (the ones that I have seen were all great).

My favorite avatar I've ever had is either my first one, of GIR from invader Zim rding a pig, or What's-her-face from teen girl squad. But I like to keep it mixed.

Infernal Monkey · « **Reply #131 on:** September 16, 2003, 01:29:23 PM »

Not Alf!

Oh well, cool current one, KnowsNothing!

Errm, Mario gave me this cool Sonic picture a few days back. Resized it and changed the background colour. Yay, thanks Mario!

KnowsNothing · « **Reply #132 on:** September 16, 2003, 01:36:07 PM »

I actually HATE Alf, but I thought he'd make a cool avatar. but I didn't like it. All of the pictures I found of him were horrible, so I had to work with what I had. Alf scares me.

Sonic is cool, though.

All my avatars come out grainy, though. Is there a way to fix that, like saving it to a certain format? Or is there a good program to do it on?

Infernal Monkey · « **Reply #133 on:** September 16, 2003, 01:42:29 PM »

I use Paintshop Pro 7 or something... Dunno, downloaded it off Kazaa ages ago.

I save all my avatars as GIF files in there. JPEGs usually result in blurry, grainy looking stuff thingy. PSP has also got some fancy sharpen feature, that makes stuff look clearer.

KnowsNothing · « **Reply #134 on:** September 16, 2003, 02:00:12 PM »

Nop. When I use GIF it comes out even worse. It has weird white spots on it, like it has a disease. Alot of formats I save in I can't upload (i use agelfire in case it makes a difference). Ah well, JPEG does fine, I guess.

Hostile Creation · « **Reply #135 on:** September 16, 2003, 02:07:45 PM »

I've only ever had one avatar here, but I'm currently considering getting another one

Berny · « **Reply #136 on:** September 16, 2003, 02:29:27 PM »

I just messed with the colors and brightness on my screen and now my avatar looks a lot darker than I wanted. Is it just my computer? If it isn't I'll change that ASAP.

Oh, and KnowsNothing, I personally believe that GIR is infinitely better that What's Her Face. Which is not to say that I in anyway dislike TGS; they are the best. I just miss Invader Zim so much!

KnowsNothing · « **Reply #137 on:** September 16, 2003, 02:32:13 PM »

Same here... I want Zim, Rocko, and Angry Beavers back!

But yea, your avatar does look a little dark. It's fine, though. Metroid Prime is a pretty dark game anyway (at least on my TV)

As far as avatars go.... I use whatever format will give me the smallest file size without a noticable loss in quality. My current avatar is an animated one though, so of course I muse use a GIF. I am about ready for an update though, so I might be changing it again soon. I am just not really sure what I want to use right now.

Maybe I will go with the flow and use the classic Naruto avatar.

KnowsNothing · « **Reply #139 on:** September 16, 2003, 02:41:42 PM »

Gah! Another reason to network the house! Then, I can download stuff, so I can watch Scrapped Princess and Naruto!

Grey Ninja · « **Reply #140 on:** September 16, 2003, 02:52:45 PM »

Heh. You certainly won't be dissapointed with either I'm sure.

But if you would like, I can have words with your parents via email on why they should allow you to download stuff and buy a freaking virus killer.

Caliban · « **Reply #141 on:** September 16, 2003, 03:13:11 PM »

KnowsNothing your avatar is quite good that it made me remember how good and enjoyful it was to watch Princess Mononoke.

Grey Ninja did you program your avatar to blink in an unorderly time? I actually saw it blink but that was a casual observation before I even read what you wrote saying that it was animated.

Grey Ninja · « **Reply #142 on:** September 16, 2003, 03:18:33 PM »

heh... no, the delay on it is just huge. It's something like 8 seconds. It was meant to be something subtle that you might not notice consciously, and might make you look and go "WTF!" sometime. Just a stoner light.

KnowsNothing · « **Reply #143 on:** September 16, 2003, 03:49:49 PM »

Virus Killer....how I love those words....

Yeah, I think we're getting one. but if we network, I'll have no need because MY PC, (no internet yet) HAS one, so yeah. I JUST WANT TO WATCH THE ANIME!!!!!

Bill Aurion · « **Reply #144 on:** September 16, 2003, 05:08:04 PM »

Heh, the first time I saw Ninja's avatar was at around 3:00 AM EST probably a couple days after he put it up. My eyes already felt like they were bleeding and out of the corner I saw his avatar blink at me. I thought I was hallucinating

Sooo umm.... Just curious... why don't you just download a free Virus Killer?

KnowsNothing · « **Reply #146 on:** September 17, 2003, 12:25:27 PM »

I honestly don't know...I guess since I can't download, the thought never crossed my mind. I feel like a moron right now, I hope you know.

My avatar is a "Dark" version of Kyle Katarn, from Jedi Outcast. I took an original picture of him from a magazine cover, and changed it in photoshop.

I have this other avatar I like to use. It's of a Dragoon from an anime called Scrapped Princess. Actually, it's several images, plugged into a script making it random. Each time you refresh the image, it's different. I'd use it here, but it's 20 pixels too big.

Take a lookie.

You avatar doesn't seem to be showing up, Matrix.
