Title: Why did you choose your avatar?
Post by: Swordsplay on November 23, 2003, 05:25:28 PM
I chose mine because, i love metroid prime.  I used to have a really really really cool dragon avatar, but it wont work for some odd reason which pisses me off, because it looks the coolest.  Otherwise, Samus rocks!

Hey look another avatar thread.
Title: RE: Why did you choose your avatar?
Post by: mouse_clicker on November 23, 2003, 05:48:42 PM
I'm mouse_clicker, so naturally I need a mouse avatar. I couldn't find anything I liked, so I made my own, with Mario here hosting it, I think. You are gamefreak, right Mario?
Title: RE: Why did you choose your avatar?
Post by: Mario on November 23, 2003, 05:57:35 PM
Well, im game freak, but not GameFreak, who is some other guy, i think he's the one hosting your avatar. There's another GameFreak that wasn't from the old forums and rarely posts here, or something, i think. Although that could be me, but i know there's another gamefreak, i think *slightly confused*

Yeah... my avatar is Mario. Because it matches the nickname that... i am stuck with. Wouldn't make much sense if i put up a Luigi avatar now would it, oh ho ho.

Well, if you are hosting my avatar, thanks. If not, you've still got the best Nintendo-related avatar here, seeing as you tied in the Futurama reference.

I change mine alot. I've had a slew of Sonic avatars, though. Maybe because I love Sonic Team.. And.. Sonic! *GASP*
I enjoy making PGC avatars. Something about the 64X64 restriction. I like a good challenge.

Well, uh... Because I suck at making avatars off existing images I decided to draw one up. Maybe I'll exchange it for my evilhex avatar soon. Nice subliminal message delivered in hex.

Oh, by the way, this is indeed an avator topic yes, but it is not the same as the others, it is purely meant, and only meant for why you chose your avatar and no other reason, the other topics have different reasons, hence thats why there is more than one of them.



jk

You guys are probably right.

Yeah my avatar kinda looks like me too! I have short light blonde hair and since my sn is grassfairy i picked a girl with wings since fairies have wings.

Post by: Berny on November 24, 2003, 03:48:52 PM
I chose mine 'cause it looks just like me. And VJ rocks. I love that game to the extent that I will not change that for a while. It's been up there for months. I think I may put up a WW avatar soon though. I had forgotten what a great game that was until I played through it again. And then I downloaded the end credits and it made me cry. I love the music in that game....

EDIT: Hey to that extent, can someone gimme a little help? When I upgraded to OS X, my old photo editor stopped working. It was pretty dumb anywho. Can someone either get me a free photo editor or photo edit a picture of WW Link for me? I can email you the one I want. Hmmm...or can I get images to the size I want on iPhoto....so many QUESTIONS!!!
Title: RE: Why did you choose your avatar?
Post by: Swordsplay on November 24, 2003, 03:55:10 PM
I chose this new one, because i absolutely LOVE dragons!

Title: RE: Why did you choose your avatar?
Post by: Berny on November 24, 2003, 04:43:09 PM
Ok, yeah. I definitely need someone to resize a picture of WW Link to 64*64. Your help would be greatly appreciated.
Title: RE: Why did you choose your avatar?
Post by: mouse_clicker on November 24, 2003, 04:45:53 PM
I could try, Berny- email the picture to me ( mrbody54@prodigy.net ), and I'll email you back the resized picture.

Wow if your serious then you must be sizzling hot in real life!

Yeah...my avvatar kinda looks like me too, but I mainly chose it because he looks like he's tough and takes no crap from anybody...thats a good thing.

Oh sure, manunited, who's GOT a girlfriend, trying to cut in on the action of his fellow geeks.

Also, no problem Berny.
Title: RE: Why did you choose your avatar?
Post by: Mutated on November 25, 2003, 01:19:10 PM
Your welcome, Klutzy Girl for that compliment...im not hitting on you as SOME might think... I'm just a polite person.

Just for everyone else to know, I wasn't hitting on Klutzy Girl and grassfairy! I was giving them a compliment like any gentlemen would do...besides, I've got a girlfriend.

And, this is starting to get off the subject of Why did you choose your avatar? And will be locked down by bloodworth if we continue with this conversation under this thread so I'm ending the whole "hitting on girls" conversation. Period.

Hey Grey Ninja, I have a question for you.  Why did you pick a prince for your avatar? (I'm just wondering)
Title: RE: Why did you choose your avatar?
Post by: grassfairy on November 25, 2003, 01:22:15 PM
Sorry, Mutated, for saying something else about this whole hitting on girls thing but I just wanted to say that I think that was very nice of you and I don't think your hitting on Klutzy Girl and I.  Ok now lets end this conversation about hitting on girls and get back to why did you pick your avatar.
Title: RE: Why did you choose your avatar?
Post by: mouse_clicker on November 25, 2003, 01:23:45 PM
I think mutated was a little too persistant in trying to convince us he wasn't hitting on anybody.

In any case, you guys have a lot of anime avatars. o_O And as for Ninja's avatar, Gabe in a tiara, would I be correct in assuming it's a continuation of his last several avatars, all featuring people in tiaras?
Title: RE: Why did you choose your avatar?
Post by: Bill Aurion on November 25, 2003, 01:27:18 PM
Gentlemanly or not, my head has been filled with some very disturbing images...not to mention a word I would rather not use on this forum... ^_^''

And MC, I think you are due for an avatar change...Let's see something different!
Title: RE: Why did you choose your avatar?
Post by: Berny on November 25, 2003, 01:27:52 PM
You got a problem with tiarae? You shouldn't.
Title: RE: Why did you choose your avatar?
Post by: mouse_clicker on November 25, 2003, 01:28:58 PM
ME?? An avatar change?? Blasphemous! I've been thinking about changing it to another picture I made in Paint a while back, but I don't have anybody to host it, and I just like my mouse so much.

Hey Grey Ninja, I have a question for you.  Why did you pick a prince for your avatar? (I'm just wondering)


Since you actually called my name, I am now bound to tell you what I think.

Picture for a minute that you are a girl.  Now picture that you like video games.  Now picture that you sometimes post on PlanetGameCube forums.  You know that every lonely gamer geek out there is immediately going to be attracted to you simply for the fact that you like to play video games.  Now picture if every person here decided to be gentlemanly and tell you that you must be "smoking hot" in real life too, in spite of knowing absolutely nothing about you.

How would you like that?

And if you don't know who or what my avatar is, I am just going to say that "You wouldn't get it.".  
Title: RE: Why did you choose your avatar?
Post by: Bill Aurion on November 25, 2003, 01:30:10 PM
I will personally host a new avatar for you...Now there's no excuse!

No I don't have anything against a tiarae, Berny.  I was just wondering! Why is everyone picking on me? I should just go to a new forum place because there is no use anymore to be on this one with everyone being so fu***** rude!

Post by: mouse_clicker on November 25, 2003, 03:17:23 PM
Thanks. My friend actually gave me the idea for it, and we both made our own versions, but his had far too little blood.

My old avatar, which I also made in Paint, and which Bill convinced me to change, was this:

Mousey!

And I've been thought to be a girl as well on several occasions by those who had just joined...Maybe it had to do with some of the comments I've made...Or maybe the transvestite avatar I have...Errr...I've said too much already... ^_^''

Maybe it has something to do with all your girl avatars, Bill. Weren't you voted "Most Girl Avatars"?
Title: RE: Why did you choose your avatar?
Post by: Grey Ninja on November 25, 2003, 04:33:51 PM
Heh.  I have had a whole lot of girl avatars too.    Gabe and Janus are about the only two non-female characters I have had to represent me.  Girlie, you see the title underneath our names that says PGC Forum User?  On another forum, that was customizable if you had more than 1000 posts.  I changed it to say "Princess" for a long length of time.

Bill, we all thought he was a pervert.  That's why we kept telling him to keep his mouth quiet.

For the longest time I pictured you as that girl from Silent Hill 3, Ninja, because you had that SH3 avatar. I knew you weren't a girl, but it kind of stuck. I'm sure a lot of people envision me as a mouse.

Post by: Grey Ninja on November 25, 2003, 04:41:08 PM
Heh.  According to EBGames, SH3 came out today for PC.  So you may see Heather back for a long stay again shortly.  I am busy coding GCN demos right now though, and can't be bothered with an animated GIF.

We've gotten some complaints about there being too many avatar threads, and I agree.  Let's limit avatar discussion to the official avatar thread.
