EDIT: Since PGC just turned 7 and I was giving away $7 or less used game from EBGames.com, I'm making this unofficially related to the birthday bash! Whee!

Okay, I've been here for over two years now and I have no avatar. And little-to-no artistic talent.

So I'm making a contest! Make me an avatar. One week from Tommrow, I'll judge my favorite out of the ones designed. The winner gets their creation chosen to be my avatar!

Isn't that a great prize?

No?

Okay, How's this... I was going to give the winner a $5 online EBGames.com Gift Card, however they don't sell online gift cards. So I'll buy the winner any in-stock previously played game from EBGames.com that's $7 or under. Granted, the selection is slim, but there are some worthy GB/GBC games on there and perhaps an N64 game or two.

So, who's game?

As an added incentive for picking Saget, you get to keep your meager prize if selected.

vudu · « **Reply #10 on:** March 08, 2006, 08:20:25 AM »

We need to know a little something about you. For example, what's your favorite game of this generation? What's your favorite game from the SNES generation? Are you into any cartoons or anime or lilicons or anything like that? How much do you love Lindsey Lohan?

UncleBob · « **Reply #11 on:** March 08, 2006, 04:27:44 PM »

Rat - you can enter as many times as you want.

vudu - you mean after being on this board for two years, you don't know me well enough?

Feel free to search through my old posts for ideas...
As for your last question "Not as much as Bill".

Well, we all know you. But there are certain things that you might want your avatar to say about you that you haven't explicityly said in the forums. For example ...

Maybe as a kid you were a huge Rygar fan.

I know you live in southern Illinois--did you go to UIUC?

Maybe you have an unhealthy monkey fetish.

Or perhaps you're a monkey pedophile.

I bet What About Bob? is your favorite movie.

You could be a Hootie & The Blowfish fan.

Or perhaps you prefer weird german bands.

The point is, if we're going to make you an avatar we need a starting point.
Do any of those work for you?

KDR_11k · « **Reply #21 on:** March 10, 2006, 09:46:42 PM »

I've decided to take the good one for myself.

Smash_Brother · « **Reply #22 on:** March 13, 2006, 08:02:09 AM »

Red Green is ending?

vudu · « **Reply #23 on:** March 14, 2006, 10:38:13 AM »

Sorry for the empty post. I needed to move my post down one spot so the background colors of the avatars matched the background of the post.

vudu · « **Reply #24 on:** March 14, 2006, 10:39:23 AM »

In the spirit of NEW Super Mario Bros I made you a bunch of new avatars. I was even nice enough to change the background color to match PGC. Enjoy!

My favorites are Buzzy Beetle and Spiney.

Pale · « **Reply #25 on:** March 14, 2006, 10:39:48 AM »

Wow, buzzy beetle is awesome! =P

Needs more dramatic croppage!

vudu · « **Reply #26 on:** March 14, 2006, 10:49:40 AM »

You mean like this?

Pale · « **Reply #27 on:** March 14, 2006, 11:24:33 AM »

Yeah.. =P

You do realize I'll shrink them if he actually chooses one of them?

Dasmos · « **Reply #32 on:** March 15, 2006, 02:40:22 PM »

Oh I see. Did you actually say this somewhere or was I supposed to assume?

Smash_Brother · « **Reply #33 on:** March 15, 2006, 02:44:58 PM »

I'm just throwing them down as ideas if he wants them.

Photoshop could easily take them down to the correct sizes. In any case, I wasn't going to bother unless he actually decided on one of them.

ShyGuy · « **Reply #34 on:** March 15, 2006, 02:45:03 PM »

I failed to assume no one had realized.

UncleBob · « **Reply #35 on:** March 15, 2006, 05:41:47 PM »

I haven't really seen any entries that make me do a happy dance yet...
I'm going to extend the deadline until next Tuesday. Thanks for all the entires so far though...

Smash_Brother · « **Reply #36 on:** March 15, 2006, 07:06:09 PM »

Can you give us some more info about what you like?

I haven't been around that long so I can only hazard guesses, really...

Very well, I shall take mine for myself.

vudu · « **Reply #38 on:** March 17, 2006, 11:38:15 AM »

Damnit UncleBob. You're lucky I keep getting bored. You're also lucky new Contact Artwork was just released.

And here's a couple from Rockman ZX.

Smash_Brother · « **Reply #39 on:** March 17, 2006, 04:17:40 PM »

Maybe he enjoyed the breeding feature in Pokemon:

vudu · « **Reply #40 on:** March 28, 2006, 10:26:49 AM »

New Mother 3 artwork released!

There's so much good stuff in there, it's unbelievable.

A hammerhead shark crossed with a kangaroo? Check.
A dog crossed with a chicken crossed with a fish? Check.
A punk-rock horse crossed with a spider? Check.
A dog made of ice? Check.
A mole with drills for hands? Check.
A pig-flower? An ostrich-elephant? A walrus-orangutan? Check, check and check.

If you can't find something good in there, there's something wrong with you.

(I'll resize anything you need me to.)

UncleBob · « **Reply #41 on:** March 28, 2006, 05:07:07 PM »

'eh... Between my mother's surgery and Tetris DS, I'd forgotten about this... And now, EBGames.com is pretty much no more.

hmmm...

vudu · « **Reply #42 on:** March 28, 2006, 05:21:51 PM »

I don't think any of us actually expected a monetary reward. We just wanted to help out the local Bob.

Pale · « **Reply #43 on:** March 28, 2006, 06:26:12 PM »

ebgames.com no more? huh?

UncleBob · « **Reply #44 on:** March 29, 2006, 04:07:05 AM »

EBGames "merged" with GameStop. and by "merged", I mean that GameStop pretty much made EBGames their b****.

Coupon codes don't stack and the EBGames Edge card won't work at all. Used game prices have went insantly up. Just an example, this (http://www.ebgames.com/product.asp?product%5Fid=934117) was $2.99 before the website got completly taken over.

It's a sad time we live in.

I swear that happened ages ago, but looking it up, it seems that it was announced in April of 05, but only finally took place during the first month of this year.

BlackNMild2k1 · « **Reply #46 on:** March 29, 2006, 08:27:40 AM »

What happened to the contest? and why doesn't Unclebob have an avatar yet?

animecyberrat · « **Reply #47 on:** March 29, 2006, 03:22:40 PM »

pick one of mine Uncle BOb you dont have to pay me for it.

UncleBob · « **Reply #48 on:** March 29, 2006, 05:45:17 PM »

I guess I'm just not ment to have an Avatar. Seriously guys, the ones y'all made for me are great, but none of them really scream "me", nor can I really give any suggestions as to what I would like. I guess I'll just go with the one I created for me. Whatta think?

Pale · « **Reply #49 on:** March 30, 2006, 07:39:04 AM »

Worst avatar evAR! =P
