Nicks and Avatars

My nick is my name... Steve Terry :P and the avatar is from a grill plate for a PC that I used a nice freeware program called sodipodi to vectorize it then painstakingly edited and remodified it until the final result, also the Gimp helped a bit with making it "glow" and the gimp created the text at the bottom which was also a painstaking process because it seemed that the name was taken everywhere so after about 12 revisions I got a name I like and isn't taken... I hope.

My nickname is mystiscool, because... I think that the Myst trilogy is cool.

My avatar is from the cover of the CD "Wish You Were Here" by the band Pink Floyd.

My nick is FrankyR because that is short for Franky Rodriguez. That is not actually my name, but it is a fake name that I made up a long time ago because I thought it sounded cool. My real name is Richard.
My avatar is the head of Ketchup, the main character from my current game project.

the first letter of my first name and seven first letters of my last name. The avatar is Wagner, from the comic Viivi ja Wagner.

You don't deserve my sig.

Nick name is Tronman. It was originally Tronboy, but I changed it to Tronman to symbolize my maturation as a game programmer (and still no finished game... go figure). The whole Tron slant came from my intentions on making my first game in the vein of the Discs of Tron.

My current avatar has nothing to do with my name, but I kept see this guy in the Aqua Teen Hunger Force Season 2 DVD commericial, and it kept making my laugh to see that freaky puppet stroking that ball. I had to make it my avatar... Heh heh... It's making my laugh right now!

Let's see...
Nickname? Named after this really l33t bastard I know.
Icon? Just a picture of me. I think. I don't have images enabled so I'm not sure what my icon is.

Nothing amazing here. Random letters you can see are my real name, sometimes I use Krzysiek, which is shorter form of my first name. Probably just calling me KK would be easiest (although I still prefer just Krzysiek). X-G used to call me Zorro, I guess because of presence of too many Z's in my name (although I still prefer just Krzysiek). ;)

And my avatar you all should know where it comes from. :)

Have you seen a christian cross? His avatar looks nothing like one. Unless my cache is wrong...

As for my name, well, my current name is my own. My nickname I used for awhile (Etwinox) was just some random words tacked together. Ex Win OS to be specific. I changed the 'x' to a 't' and the 's' to an 'x'. Boom. A name that was supposed to last a month. Heh.

ClovekX is the name of my first arcade game in C(5 years ago). Word by word it can be translated like ManX. I rather use CX as my nick, but it's too short sometimes.

I draw my pic once at school only because everybody here had some and as I hadn't found anything better than Paintbrush it looks like it looks.

It looks like some modified/elaborate/decorated versions of christian crosses I've seen around. But no, it obviously doesn't look like a +

Etwinox sounded nice to me. And was close to not so random word "equinox", which I guess wasn't bad. :)

My avatar is my character in Baldur's Gate II. I'm a Mage Killer Elf, so you should really be careful with me, Mithrandir (FYI, I've killed a big dragon) ;D [edit] and you, kdevil, too[/edit]

Nothing special to say about my name...

You've killed a dragon? Well, I've even created one, like this. (yes, picture is a bit dark, but he likes night) ;) Actually, I can create even a bunch of them. ;)

I like Star Trek, and I happen to have the ability to assimilate people.

My avatar used to be an ugly stick figure that I drew myself. Miquel Burns must have felt sorry for me, so he gave it a makeover, and MattSmith animated it. Now, she has style and she can really bust some moves.

So why are you still so skinny? When MeMe assimilates people, he grows bigger ...

Fool! 23 is the code for Super Uber Incredibly Tough! Why, Oscar must have been hacking just to stand a chance at all!

My nick started as a character from a book, then I found out Nonnus was a poet that lived A REALLY LONG TIME AGO. My avatar is Hasbro toy that had his own comic book; 'Rom the Space Knight'. I've always had a special afinity for superheroes encased in Armor. Something to discuss with my therapist no doubt. :P

Some of you are talking about avatars I don't see. Whats up with that?

nonnus: enable animated avatars in your profile. :)

Absorbing makes you fat. Assimilating lets you remain foxxxy for years to come.
