Is Chris finally back from Land of WoW or have we lost him forever. I miss his posts on transformers, his avatars with goatees, and just him in general. Last I knew we lost him to WoW and then I think we lost him to his life. Is he back or is he still lost to us?
No, he's still playing WoW...what gave you the idea he's "back"?
I don't remember who he is... Is he a foxxxy mama?
Yup, especially when he wears that foxxy mask.
dance the night away!

Kent, you can remove the border you know ...
OMGWTFBBQ!!! HE SPEAKS! 
Just cause he posted once in a while doesn't mean he is back. Although I do miss his Off Topic Posts like that of the Transformers movie (which I've not heard anything about since Chris went to WoW:().
[edit]Look at his sig for proof of him not being fully back yet. He still has the now disabled Pixelate url for the site.
nonnus: cough*job*cough

Yeah, it occured to me to fix that, but I'm lazy. 
Holy crap, 20k posts... I'm afraid...
23 owns 4.6% of all posts ever made on this forum. Scary. He could probably have his own section on the forum!
But now he's in hibernation we can all catch him up! 
Kent, you can remove the border you know ...
Done! 
He had a game once too.. 
But it was a stopid game! 
(If I remember the spelling correctly.) Seriously, it would have been nice to see it develop into completion. I followed the progress in his journal, which more and more came to be about WoW though.
You should start up that project again 23, you had a nice start.
Since then we have OpenLayer so he could all kinds of cool effects too.
But it was a stopid game! (If I remember the spelling correctly.)
2 O's. And yes, The Mighty Stoopid will be restarted; it's just a matter of finding the time and easing back into it. I have a day off today; I'm gonna poke around TH's racing game code for a while if I get the chance ...
In the meantime, this thread needs Chuck Norris.

I will never understand this Chuck Norris thing...
Perhaps because you do not have seen enough chuck's in your youngness ?
No, I can't say I've seen many chucks.
This threads needs more repost.

That's the way a woman must be threaten ! ;-p
Inphernic: Cool new avatar! Is it Richard Phipps evil twin brother?
Looks like the Priest from Chaos Engine to me.

Well, duh! I know where you've took it from. 
But, it does remind me of the Priest in Chaos Engine.
Heh; let's see if I can still code as well as I hijack threads ..
Richard says Duh!
http://www.zunked.org/Images/duh.jpg
Moar like KOFF amirite?
http://www.duckiehorde.net/koff.jpg
Have I done something to you Inphy? Why the picture abuse all of a sudden? 
Nope, they're just shops. But if they really bother you, they will be promptly removed.

Ok. I just think altering someone's picture for a joke could be considered bad taste.
Welcome to the Internet.
Are you trying to provoke me? If so, don't.
It seems that this thread has been hijacked and photo of Richard Phipps has been taken as a hostage. How, why doesn't really matter now. What does matter is that as of this moment, we are at war. 
No.
I'll never understand nordic humour.
vs 
Round one!
Surely it should be against doctored versions of Inphernic or X-G?
This thread got weird.
:I am your father...
http://www.duckiehorde.net/valesti.jpg
Inphernic, are you a foxxxy mama? I don't remember ever seeing a picture of you.
He looked far too stern in the picture I remember seeing of him.
He looked far too stern in the picture I remember seeing of him.
That picture is about 5-6 years old, but anyway. You're not the first one to note that. People (who I've had little to do with) at parties/etc occasionally ask me if something is wrong. Last week at school, one guy I've never even spoken to before asked me why am I so serious all the time. I suppose I just.. well.. look angry?
But really, I'm not serious or angry. I'm really light-hearted, talkative and arguably jolly (if you are tuned on the same frequency). Honestly.
From what I see as your avatar it seems that you're a dark lord
Gah, I can't stand the lack of reference-getting!
http://www.emulationgalaxy.co.yu/images/manga/nge/gendo.jpg
Happy now?
pah X-G, ignore those poor gaijin
Damn you XG! I wanted that one!
edit
Kinda freakily coincidental, I just bought Death and Rebirth a few days ago.
I don't know Manga. Never would have got it.
This is an evil genius:

Battlestar Galactica?
Inphernic will always win fights.
Yes Richard.
This is unforgetable:
Helo: Aren't you Gaius Baltar?
Baltar: I haven't done anything wrong.
Am I right or is Chris Katko's Avatar also a picture of Richard Phipps?
Pete
Peter: I also thought so. Lets compare them:
Peter Hull's avatar looks sort of like him.
In case you didn't notice:
Left - Real
Right - Avatar
Inphernic: Valkyrie Profile was awesome.
Archon,
That's an old picture. I've put on a bit of weight since then...
Pete
edit: I've decided to upgrade my avatar to match the current fashion
You're all crazy!
Slightly more on topic, what happened to spellcaster? He was always so helpful... and all of a sudden he just dissapeared. Did he fall prey to the evils of WoW as well? I think I remember him playing it...
He does indeed play it. He's like Bob, he's so busy with it and other things that he doesn't have time to mention the fact that he's even playing it.
Richard's avatars remind me vaguely of Joe Satriani.
I saw him recently on MSN and it seems he's been playing WoW and not much else.
The game should be banned! 
Peter: I also thought so. Lets compare them:
Well, I figured I'd keep the style of my monkey while looking like RP. I don't have photoshop anymore (:'() so I had to do it in paint. It took way too long to do because I didn't have layers, or selection, or anything worthwhile. I could only trace the face and remove every pixel manually.
Don't make me put another 30 minutes into my avatar! 
If you want to call me a monkey I'll change it every time!
Hmmm, I didn't read this thread until now. So this is where the avatar stealing began?
I think it started exactly with this post by Inphernic.
Actually, the ball started rolling here.
For Phipps' avatar maybe, but i recall that before you had the glasses and hands of Mr. Ikari on Phipps' face, you had them on gnolams avatar.;)
What's important is not who fired the first shot, but that my avatar has been left unabused since conception.
>> ..the glasses and hands of evil ambassador..
Fix'd.
..you had them on gnolams avatar.
Yeah, but 1) the avatar wasn't gnolam himself and 2) he didn't mind. The "stealing spree" was started from the post I linked to.
What's important is not who fired the first shot, but that my avatar has been left unabused since conception.
I'm currently browsing in Phipps Mode(tm), so I suppose I could say that everyone's avatars are abused.
Hurray! I have a stalker! I'm now famous! Yay.
I'm in your backyard, toppling your garden gnomes.
No need to worry. I found that pic of you in some old files. Now everyone can look out for you in case you stalk them!
Here it is:

See, really stern.
Is he balding?
Yes, I told you it was inphernic.
Does this mean we're brothers?
Just Comrades!
It's very interesting how every discussion ends somewhere else after some time.
Comrades - like a crime fighting duo, eh? I like the sound of that.. but the name has to go. You can't fight crime with something like 'Richard Phipps'.
And you think a finnish name that half of us couldn't say would we better?
Aha! That's my secret weapon, confusing people with my name. See - when I tell them my name and their confused brain starts processing it, you run as fast as you can, tackle them all down and beat them up. They don't know what hit them! Just leave the planning to me, all right?
Is he balding?
Nah, he's just following the latest avatar-trend.
AE.
Ok, Brain!
Yes, I told you it was inphernic.
Well, according to his picture, inphernic is already bald... the dog looked like it was in the process of becoming bald. Which is quite a bit worse in my opinion.
Well, according to his picture, inphernic is already bald...
Are you confusing a dog with inphernic? What other picture is there?
Ohhhhhhhh, that must be it. Sorry. Something about him reminds me of a dog... It must be those eyes.
Ok. I just think altering someone's picture for a joke could be considered bad taste.
Agreed!

Hang on! Now Richard looks like Dennis Busch. End the madness!
http://www.allegro.cc/members/avatars/1090.png
Pete
Actually Dennis looks more like you Peter! (And I've met you, so know it's true!)
RP: It looks like you have the same type of glasses as me!
Are you sure?
http://www.zunked.org/Images/glasses.jpg
Bad image quality:
http://thisistheurl.com/file/Crap/glasses.jpg
No they weren't the same, but pretty similar.
Hmm.. What brand are they?
Specsavers, though the model was impossible to locate on their homepage.
This thread delivers.
BTW, do any of the old Pixelates exist anywhere? If not, maybe I should clean them up and do that submitting to GameDev like I always meant to do for the STL articles ...
Wow haven't had a good thread like this in months, this thread kicks ass
http://web.archive.org/web/20050207064859/http://www.pixelate.co.za/
A few of the links work...
Weren't they pushed to a wiki?
http://echellon.hybd.net/index.php
Never seen this before... I think it's the same stuff.
[edit]
Doesn't have too many.

He looks a bit like Moby, doesn't he?
I agree with Rash, he really looks like Moby
I wish I had his musical ability! But I have no music skills.

I am quite certain that they are talking about the white whale.
cough
Pixelates 1-15

Thanks, last time I saw them on the wiki they looked incomplete (there was only text and it was only in few issues). I just added link to my sig to be helpful.
