The beard in review

That's it! No more goatees!

The goatee archive page is here, or you can download the whole archive (which includes an HTML file for easy viewing). I also have TF's flipping moose (which I made) and bearded crazy_k, plus a few bonus ones I whipped up. I was going to beard Zaphos' avatar (COWERING IN FEAR I AM 23YROLD3YROLD WORST OF WORSTS LEAST OF LEASTS I CANNOT DEFEAT YOU!) but none of my editing programs were up to the task. :( I'm sure I'll chew up my bandwidth limit fast with all those images; oh well ::)

I guess I'll ask the obvious poll: which one's your favorite? Best looking? Ugliest? Anything else?

From now on, my avatar is going to reflect my current project. My platformer's main star isn't ready to be unveiled yet, so we'll stick Optimus Prime up there for awhile. I've already made it my avatar for Pixelate and a few other Allegro sites. As for the platformer itself, it's going great. I'm building up more levels now for the demo, and hopefully it won't be much longer. It'll blow you away; I guarentee 8-)

The funny thing is I remember seeing all but one or two of those avatars... have I been here that long?? At least 23 isn't leaving us... only his goatees, no big loss, just nothing to smirk at anymore.

I AM THE NEW GOATEE LEADER YAY!!!!!!!!

Even if the goatee is gone, maybe somebody will think of giving their avatars moustaches... Hmm... Nah...

All I know, is I'm sure glad animated avatars are hidden. Some of those are annoying!

My least favorite is probably the frog; didn't turn out so great.

Looks like you joined the month I started :)

Forgot to mention: this is also my two year anniversary as a member 8-) I wanted to get my demo done by now, but it didn't work out. I also thought about pushing to hit 10,000 posts this week, but I thought better of it ;D Man, if I accomplished all that, this would have been 23yrold3yrold Week, big time ...

23: Your next step could be, after you have shaved yourself, to create new avatars like this, a new one every week:

Almost. We won't know for sure since some of us won't show their faces at all ;)

And wth is your current avatar? :)

I like your new OP avatar. Definitely keep it; unless the character for your plaformer is cooler-looking. ;D
I recognize all of the bearded ones except for the first few. If you take a look at my graph, I think you'll understand. Haha :)

Somehow the colours of your new avatar always remember me of Harbinger ZERO XXXX Game Company Harbinger CEO's one. But he really seems to be gone, so there won't be too much confusion.

How much longer is not much longer? Can we have any sort of time frame? Maybe a screenshot?;D

Now that's a lot of bearded pictures. Any ideas on whether you'll start a new theme soon?

That sounds like the sort of thing I keep saying about my sekrit projact. Not a good idea; now everyone expects it to be absolutely amazing. What if it turns out to be just another Tetris clone, or just another Breakout clone, or just another platform game, or something ::)

I remember the first couple, but probably only about 60% of the rest. Guess I'm just not regular enough. ;) (I was worried for a moment ;))

Hang on ...

Okay. Just wanted to secure Reply #23 (only fitting) ...

Sky-Byte.

Quote:

Optimus Prime. Took me a while to decide, design it and get it right (darkened the background, hand edited the stars, etc) since it'll actually outlast a week ;)

Quote:

Sure :)

Quote:

I might be able to cough up a decent screenshot in a week (keep in mind it's all programer art at the moment). The big triumph right now is multiple layers of parallax, and I swear when I first ran it it brought tears to my eyes. Ran like a dream :) I'm going to throw together the main demo level this weekend; it'll be big, so hopefully I can get it running fast ...

Quote:

It occured to me to run weekly X-Men quotes/TF quotes/Bible verses in my sig. But perhaps that's all time better spent on coding ;D

Quote:

Well, everyone already has some idea, since I already released a demo. It's definitely better than most of the Depot games; really 8-)

BTW, I forgot; we need a new Friday entry for The List now:

Monday - "I wanna make a kick a$$ game but I have no experience" thread
Tuesday - Allegro vs. SDL thread
Wednesday - C vs. C++ thread
Thursday - Cake stealing day
Friday - ??:anti-smiley:??:anti-smiley:??:anti-smiley:??
Saturday - "Lets all get together and make a cool game" thread
Sunday - Religion thread

Hey; I thought Monday was the "I'm looking for a team" day ... guess not ...

I think Monday is the day people want to make a cool game, but don't know how and thus ask others to make it ;)

Nice page... I missed one or two of the early ones and a few from the summer, but most are familiar. Haven't picked a favourite yet, though.

I like Optimus Prime 8)
