What's the meaning behind your avatar?

Dr Cox is basically me at work
And although I don't work in a hospital I do work in large pharmacy

His name is not "Senpai", he doesn't have a name in the anime and is only credited as "Watashi" which means "I" or "me".

You sicken me.

And here we could have had such a nice time bonding over shared love for the thing~ guess I should change avatar now

I knew what you say, maybe I'm confused because my girlfriend calls him senpai..
 
I've been using Ed as an avatar in forums for more than 10 years now. I think he represents my sense of humor, which is very silly and stupid.

I drew this one to be used as an avatar, a slightly more matured version of Ed.

Fuck I really hope Bluepoint remake this next.
I played through Legacy of Kain: Soul Reaver with my Dad aged 14 and it's one of my favourite games from that PS1 era. Arguably in my top 10 of all time.
 
I hate black people and like to mock them with black face.

Nahh, i changed it to this during the black face drama to point out hypocrisy, but it's also a cool picture. Like Bloodborne-esque and also because you're my wife now dave.

I'll change it again when i can be arsed

The trilogy of LoK and SR were examples of when games are 20 years ahead of their time. Another example is Advent Rising

Fuck yeah.
Although I didn't pay all of the LoK games, Soul Reaver blew my mind back then with the shifting planes. I hadn't really been gaming for long at this point but it was way ahead of some of the other games I'd been playing up until this point.

I remember playing the first LoK. I rented it from my local shop. Initially it looked like a jaunty RPG...until 2 minutes in when your character is murdered, crucified and his heart ripped out. Then you go crazy and get revenge as a vampire. I was hooked from that point onwards.

Sorry for the thread derail
 
I like Buffy, I like the Packers. I've had this avatar sense the original IGN gaming board days, before GAF existed. The Giles picture itself was actually one of the built in IGN avatars you could choose. I've kept it and modified it over time. At Christmas I change the cheesehead to a santa hat.
 
It's my podcast/online radio show logo, called Total Distortion.

It's actually taken from a photograph of a t-shirt I found in the trash. It looked cool, I took it home and washed it. And I liked it and used it as the logo.
 
Heads Up 7 Up was a game we played in elementary school and Spot was the 7-up drink mascot. The game randomly popped in my head to use as as a username and the 7-up logo just fit as an avatar.
 
I got a cat in the 7th grade and he was with me until I was a Junior in college. He had a horrible cat disease and the only option was a very invasive surgery that cost $4000 (which he may not have survived), or to put him to sleep. It was hard, but the second option was my only choice. He was an awesome friend who would spend hours on my lap as I played some of my favorite games. I typed in "gray video game cat" and this one popped out as my favorite.
 
I'm called Meowzers and I have a cat threatening to push over a PS4.

Sony are dominant, but cats will always run the world. Currently, my cat is sleeping on my Xbox and he's getting cold. Best play Red Dead 2 to give him sunburn.

If the above makes no sense, it's because I've cracked open the vodka.
 
It is Chang Wufei, my favorite pilot from Gundam Wing. He has a code of honor that he sticks with, even to his own detriment. I always admired that. He also pilots my favorite Gundam in the entire franchise: Altron Gundam. "I'll stay true to my own sense of integrity." was a line he spoke that always stuck with me. I decided to turn it into an Obamicon and originally used it as a signature for a particular site, then started using it as an avatar on various sites on the net. I also made one for two other Gundam Wing characters with words, starting with the letter "I", that I though represented them. Trowa Barton: Infallibility. Heero Yuy: Insanity.
 
Took my parents to Japan after my painful divorce - and wanted to do something nice for my parents for a change - as I never got around to it when I was married & ex was calling all the shots in terms of what to do with my own money. I think the picture is one of the wishing knots that someone else put up in one of the Buddhist temple in SW Japan. While there, I wished for good health for my parents, and wished for my daughter's and my own happiness, and the photo is a memento of that memory.

We all know if you had the money you'd have saved him. From a cat lover to anotther, you're amazing.
 
A flapper girl from Shen Comix, back when we thought the 2020s was going to be all sorts of fun shit.



I only intended to keep it for a few months, since the main joke is kinda over. But eh, I liked the character now so it stays.

Computers don't make errors! What they do they do on purpose. By now your name and particulars have been fed into every laptop, desktop, mainframe and supermarket scanner that collectively makeup the global information conspirancy otherwise known as.. the beast.

Thank you for the kind words.

The kids keep saying they want a dog and we are looking for one, but I'm telling my wife that I don't want to get close to an animal again...which means, that it will sit on the couch with me while I'm playing games, and will be my new friend.

Why did you get rid of the "pork"?

My username in brazilian forums was gameta_de_porco, which translates to swine gamete, or the gamete of a pig. Pork_gamete, according to users here, has a feminine connotation, I wasn't aware of that when I created the account, but anyways...

I'm now GAMETA in all forums I post :)

So mine started as just Mad Professor Mariarti - a game I loved as a kid.



Then I added the city in the background and the cyberpunk logo to celebrate the coming awesomeness.

Then China fucked us all so I added xi the poo fucking the world. Then Scopa was a pussy so I added him. Oh, and I drew a mask for Covid.

Now I think about it, I drew too many dicks on it.

I've often wondered, but never asked, why do you, as members here, pick certain images for your avatar?

My avatar represents the size of my hands.

I like classic anime but I wanted a character for my avatar which is a complete juxtaposing of my real-life self. I cannot identify at all with the character. I feel it you took an actual Happosai personality and put that person on GAF...their antics would not be tolerated more-than -a-week.

Happosai (character)

For other uses of Happosai, see Happosai Happosai As well as being a pervert, he is actually a strong practitioner of the Anything Goes style of martial arts. Happosai at Ranma Wiki - Retrieved 11-05-2022 Happosai at Furinkan.com - Retrieved 11-05-2022

This's an awkward post if I ever decide to change my avatar and look back on it haha.

Well I do change my avatar a lot I never really stick to just one but most of the time I want it to have tons of meaning and junk like you guys though it just winds up being whatever I'm interested in at that moment.

Video games is one of my two main hobbies I love playing RPGs and LUNAR: Silver Star Story Complete has been one of my favorites since I was little. I picked Tempest because he was one of the only characters I ever relate to in RPGs because he's a non-blond unlike Cloud, Claude and Stahn, and he has brown hair I just think Alex is boring...
