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 - 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".

QuoteWell, 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?

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.

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.)

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.
