Everybody is changing their avatars and now I can't tell who's who and I keep thinking for some strange reason the 23 is BD with the new avatar and the only avatar that I actually don't mind (out of the one's that changed) is TF's cause it's still in theme and 23's isn't bad either and I'm not just talking about you 3, Bobby changed his as well, so if it weren't for his writing style I'd confuse him as well and now I have to go change my avatar probably to something someone else is already using and that reminds me that LSD's new nick thing and stuff is really confusing me and I really need to breathe now so I just have to say that everything is going too dang fast and I think we should limit avatar and nick changes to one person per week thank you and goodnight!

/me passes out from lack of air.

When Tomasu changed to Guu, I kept mistaking him for Inphernic. But I'd rather mix people up than live in a boring world without avatars or with static avatars.

I'm dumb!. Like my new avatar? Maybe I'll change it right now, i have another one ready!

my avatar has always been the same, vant be bothered to change mine

I always said mine would reflect my current project. Optimus was just a placeholder

If anyone cares, this avatar is an old model I made in Moray, rendered in POV-Ray. I'm rather proud of the springs

Heh; you too? He's unmistakable now; there's only one moose!!

so there is this text above that avatar and its called a name

no images yet on my project for an avatar. just some code for classes im still setting up. when i was making my desktop wallpaper i thought it would be good to change my wallpaper so i just put my autoshape on an 80x80 image with black background. then it was just a few tiny blending style effects.

For awhile I was mistaking 23's avatar with Harbringer ZERO.. because they look so similar out of the corner of my eye.

So don't use the similar colors!

..that reminds me, I should change my avatar.

I've had mine for too long, as well.

I last changed mine at Hallowe'en, hence the vampire + inevitable lightning bolt.

PS: [wisedonkey]Matthew, in case you read this, your spellchecker doesn't recognise "Hallowe'en". And I even looked it up to check I got it right. So there. [/wisedonkey]

Guess I don't know my own strength.

really though, I changed my avatar a week or two ago... Its been a while anyway.

If it was that long ago, my cache didn't tell me untill a few days ago... Then again, I was at a friends house when I noticed BD's avatar, and when I got home I cleared my cache and saw it. But I thought I saw that one since, like, yesterday.

[edit]
Okay, new avatar for me. 5 points to the first to get where it's from. It's glaringly obvious. In fact, make it 3 points.

[edit]
BTW, I like the new avatar, and I love the sig, Derezo.

[edit]
Maybe I should just make a new reply. This one is so obvious, in fact, that I think I'll change it after somebody guesses it. Actually, I just like the new one.

No! Derezo, you'r icon NEEDS to be something from the Simpsons! Oh... how the mighty have fallen...

No! Now CGames changed his WHILE I posted! WTF!?

how can people guess where that picture is from. its too bright for you to see the contents.

It's a detail of BP's avatar

Figured I'd break the vicious cycle
I was going to.. but after watching 4 episodes and finding little to rip.. decided against it.

See? I told you it was bleedingly obvious. I shoulda made it 2 points... Oh well. I'm trying to get some surrealist art from my graphics dude.

[edit]
To be more specific, It was a 14x14 section of BD's, which I scaled using the GIMP to 80*80. You judge wether that was a good job or bad.

Looking back, I think I'd rather have used phate's, but I had already taken the screenshot (which was originally for another part of the desktop).

Derezo's is fitting. CGP's old one wasn't my favorite (just a bunch of junk ) so let's see a new one!

I really like the new one. But the old one wasn't a bunch of junk, it was a demonstration of what I use my computer for! I had my browser, email client, editor, IM program, and some other stuff.

so your new one isn't a bunch of Gnome icons? My browser seems to think thats your newest one.. hmmm...

ctrl + F5 silly b00b!

Yep. Good ol' IE.

TF: Right now mine is BD's head. Tonight it'll be something else though.

Yeah. See I did that several times (edit: And I'm not using IE ). Maybe its my ISP doing some weird caching. I do know that Telus blows. Really really large chunks. The flippen telephone company can't even keep its DSL service stable.. I'm worried what will happen when they finish the migration of the regular telephone network over to IP... Be afraid. Be very afraid. And don't worry if you all of a sudden can't get in contact with anyone from alberta or British Columbia. Its just Telus being a PITA.

Just to distinguish myself from the anime fanboy majority of this community, i've started cycling avatars..

This weeks one isn't so blatantly obvious this time. (the model isn't visible in this picture)

So umm... try to guess what it is.. i suppose.. the winner wins the big virtual penis i have here for you to wave an earn respect with.

I'm dumb!! I didn't look at it closely until now. I thought it was an alarm clock!

It was the badge of a Peugeot 405 Mi16.

It seems that in the last week, everyone has changed their avatars! I need to change mine at some point...

BTW: how do you like my new avatar? I'm just curious. I got mine off of a case mod fan grill, touched it up of course so you don't even notice it. Heh Bobby is always the easiest to spot, even if he changes the avatar, just look for the 16-line sig J/K Bobby.

sigh I guess I can't resist the peer pressure...
clicky - there, changed it!

But I dare you to guess where this one is from

ST: Very kewl avatar Never would have guessed it was a fan grill, heh. That's a pretty |<1(|< 455 Fan grill!

ST: Casemod... Wouldn't happen to be from an Alienware case would it?

TF: Nope, though I tried to steal an avatar from their site once, but the res was too low. Mine is ripped from 3dcool.com.
clicky

Heh, I just visited Homestarrunner for the first time I saw a couple of shorts that were funny, but I hate the load time for some of those SWF's ...

Steve: I thought it was a nice twist on the original At least I can still tell who you are

Heh oh I want to make the black transparent like my old avatar, but not experienced enough in PSP to figure it out. The origional was edited in good 'ol paint, but I'm assuming I need to make it a 32-bit alpha channel png file because the edges don't turn out so well if I just set black to trans.

23: Baleted! You need to read all the Strong Bad emails. Those are the funniest. Most if not all of them are worth the wait.

ST: Oh well. It is cool though. One weird thing... Whatever that site is using, Konqueror asked me which app I wanted to open its page with

edit: IE doesnt do PNG's very well. See my avatar isn't supposed to have a white/black border on the sides.. Konqueror and Mozilla display it fine.

ST: I like the new one and I still know who you are.

gnolam: I wanna say Treasure planet, but that can't be it.

CGP, I dont like your avatar, it's... wierd.
ST: Awesome Avatar!
23: Is that the in-game graphics of your game?

SJ: It's just a temp avatar to replace the one I'm about to upload. And to your comment to 23: I sincerely hope not. I wanna be able to play this game with a FPS better than 1/10!

So, everybody refresh your cache for the 4th time tonight!

Uh, no That was pretty tricky to model in Moray (which I don't have installed anymore anyway). I'd like to make a 3D model of him though, which will probably require I once again write my own utility For the option screen of TMS, I want the 3D model of him in the background, rotating slowly and doing The Monkey. Down the road, a Super Mario 64 style game would rox0r

So? Comments on the avatar? It's actually my friends face pasted on http://images.google.com/images?q=Magritte_SonOfTheMan.jpg

O..M...G!!!!!!!!! You mean.. out of all the references.. you've never BEEN THERE?

Aww... You've been so deprived! You have my sympathy!

The Sbemails are definately the best

They're worth the wait.

I'm trying to do work here (and for the first time in a while, succeeding!) so I don't have time for StrongBad I've just seen 3 or 4 e-mails.

(I wonder how many 8-Bit Theatre or Megatokyo readers there are here )

CGP: Interesting new avatar

I don't know about Megatokyo..... I don't think I'm a big enough fan of anime

From my point of view, I seem to have started it... but I believe my cache wasn't updating the others... so I'm not sure when mine fits into this avatar switching...

That and I just cleared my cache so everything is up to date

[edit] There are some things I need to work on with my avatar, but I really wanted it up for post 500... and I was like 15 minutes late getting this up

I usually don't have to clear my cache to view new avatars (I beleive my browser does it automatically for me).

I haven't been spamming in awhile, so my avatar is still nice and fresh to the eyes.

ITs weird for me.. Some times I have to go "view image" then do the reload trick there... Its somewhat rare though. (AFAICT)

my avatar is a penguin

My avatar is a moose and squirrel

My avatar is me... after some side effect of reaching 500 posts here...

M4H AV374R 51 S7UP1D, 8U7 M167HY, 0H Y35!!!``11`~1~11oneoneone

MB: So who's this blue-haired chick anyway?

A character from Dance Dance Revolution. Don't know if there's a good site to explain that much about her though.

[edit] Here's some links I found, but you need the fish to translate from Japanese though
http://www.konami.co.jp/am/ddr/ddr4th/chara/popsa.html
http://www.konami.co.jp/am/ddr/ddr5th/chara/emi.html

I've only changed my avatar once in all the time I've been here. I'm so boring.:-/

I believe the excuse you're looking for is actually "Black Mage is just too good to give up."

My avatar is... HEY! You were supposed to guess what it is!

What are you all talking ab... EEEEK!!!
The previous avatars hadn't expired from the cache on my home computer, but here they have. I don't believe it! I turn my back for a week and everyone and their sister changes his avatar. Is it a conspirency?

No, my sister has nothing to do with it.

I don't have a sister.

Uh ................ a car?

Isn't that obvious?

Okay, a clue: "'cos i'm worth it."

a black car?

Hmm, you're shaving in the car???

"cos i'm worth it."
Peugeot L'Oreal?

CGamesPlay: Nope. But you'll get the explanation in a few days, Inshallah (or in this case umm... Inshmatthew?)

How odd... Here at work, some avatars had changed like they're supposed to (jhuuskon, Derezo, Thomas Fjellstrom) and some haven't (gnolam, 23yrold3yrold, CGamesPlay, etc.) Time to clear this cache out too.

That looks like a peugeot to you? Damn, you have absolutely no eye for good lookin' four-wheelers..

Clue 2: It's a Ford.

Ford? Sheesh, I didn't know you could go THAT low.

hello... i'm new to this place so throw me a party

Yay. Yves is your brother or smthsmth? (nice avatar, but Skuld & Belldandy(Verdandi >:E) are cuter )

I totally agree with Inphernic. All hail his non-duckieness.

What happened to Inphernic's avatar?

I'm dumb!, no, Manjula is my sister!

Oh, uh.. err.. ok. Btw, have I ever mentioned that I keep misreading your name as Marsupilami 90% of the time?

MARSUPILAMI! Love that show.

edit:

I'll bet everyone and their dog has guessed my horrible horrible secret by now

I'm a cartoon addict!

BTW, Welcome Manjula! Si Party TIME!

/me shakes fist for disintrest in his avatar.

TF: My dog actually just came in and told me that!

MM: Yay!

CGP: .

I think it's not really disinterest... Its more like we ALL think its time for something completely different.

Marsupilami is my university programme's mascot

jhuuskon: you mean you talk about other cars than Peugeots? Ok, a Ford L'Oreal then

Inphernic: wait... Skuld, Verda- oh no. You mean... you mean the Japanese have made anime based on the Norns? And they couldn't pronounce Verdandi so they changed it to Belldandy? Mwahahaha

I'd give you a prize if I weren't such a cheapskate.

Gnolam: Its like Disney.. If Disney's done it, theres a good chance the Japanese have done it. Especially considering early Anime was based on early Disney work... The simple character designs etc... And now that more Anime is pumped out than Disney can produce... Ja.
And how could you have not heard of Aa!Megami-sama! I will put a hex on you and your loved ones... 0xdeadbeef seems like a good one

Yves is my little brother. I boss him around all the time

Heh, welcome Manjula!
Brothers are doomed to be bossed around by their sister. That's what they are there for. Mine does too although she is the youngest

Ahh, so you're older than him, Manjula.
I was wondering why Yves would let his little sister come onto THESE forums...

Welcome!
Just a fair warning though.. if you start a thread, it will instantly become the most popular thread on the forum.. because, well, you're a lady. We don't get a lot of those around here.

So it's a thread about avatars? I'd just want to say that... well.. everyone here remebers miran doing all these operations with his face, with different filters. He couldn't find the best one, and so he applied new ones again and again. He should have gone easy on this stuff, but now... he ended up like Michael Jacksson. Just take a look:

Poor miran

Just changed mine. Took a few hours in Flash 2 (Or -30 months if you count me setting the date back ).

Welcome Manjula!

And what did happen to Inphernic's avatar? Did he get an av ban or something?

@LSD: What do you mean different filters? This is the original one, scanned from my ID...

Nice avatar Irrelevant

Does this mean you want to overthrow Matthew and be king?

wana know what happened to his avatar? Its right here.

Oooooh, it's one of those. What happened to the phycho-ducks, though?

Derezo: No, I just want to be the king. Matthew would still be Benevolent Leader, and we would still Revere him, just I would be king. For, as you may know:

Actually, I think this avatar is a bit high detail for 80x80. I think I'll change it to just the king.

[edit: Dunchangin. Improvement / not? [random]Ooo, pie... *wanders off*[/random] ]

Ok.. Either its in reference to Tom Petty... Or The Lion King... How could you forget The Lion King??? sheesh.

Darn... Stupid cache did it again.. Up till I went "View Image" then did the shift reload trick, I was still getting the creature with the lightning bolt. >:E

edit: And now I see Gnolams new one too... Ohy.. Will I have to go one by one through all the avatars hitting shift-reload??? ARRRGGHHHH..

Actually, I think it was Robin Hood: Men in Tights that I was thinking of.
(Don't know? Don't ask.)

I look forward to that game, 23/3. Looks funny.

Aah! Miran's changed again!

PS: Try emptying your Temporary Internet Files. (Geez, what a keyboardful. Why couldn't IE just call it the 'cache' like everyone else?)

TF: Clear your cache manually, start fresh, I did that recently because of the fact there was too many changes with avatars for me to notice otherwise.

Oh... and I didn't need to do anyhting for Irrelevant's current avatar... strange...

This is Konqueror! It didn't help the last time I tried... MAybe I should just turn the darn thing off...

Okay, I changed my avatar again. I skipped an entire generation of music, but I dont care . You know why, cuz I don't have to, hehe. Anyways 3 points to whoever can get who's album my avatar is off of now.

The Alien Trilogy soundtrack?

No... Remember my theme is Great Music Through Time

And what is that supposed to mean? You saying movie sound tracks arn't "Great" music? Is that it? Huh? I happen to find allot of soundtracks more enjoyable than the "Great" "music" they play on the radio.

btw: j/k

No, soundtracks aren't great. Why? Because they aren't real albums. They're compilations. It's like saying "Now That's What I Call Music 6" is a great album.

btw: I know

Miquel: Strange, I didn't have to do anything for Irrelevant's new avatar, but I did for the one with the cards, and I'm also seeing SJ's new one with out intervention.

Synapse: You so sure? Maybe you thought I was talking of crappy sound tracks? The stuff I like has all been composed/written/performed just for the particular movie. Like a few of the songs in Titan-AE were awesome, and original, now I can't seem to get enough of Anime sound tracks. All of the music is usually orriginal in any given Anime show, and For the last few movies, all the music was totally original, like Akira, Princess Mononoke, Aa Megami-sama, Spirited Away, Castle in the Sky, and I'll bet "Kiki's Delivery Service" will have a wholy orriginal score as well. Look at LOTR. Tell me Its sound track isn't awesome?

Yea, but I don't like anime that much, so... . You're right, LOTR's soundtrack was pretty cool, but I'm not gonna put it as my avatar

How can you not like anime? How? How is that possible? It boggles my mind.

Like this:
<-- Doesn't like anime

Does that clear things up?

Nope. I can't imagine anyone not liking anime. It doesn't compute.

Yea, that's cuz you're ALL crazy! (BTW, 100th post, yay!)

Joy, this is the first thread I've ever started to have a substansial amount of replies!

[sister makes lame attempt to embarass little bro]

[/sister makes lame attempt to embarass little bro]

Wow... that was... random... Couldn't you just have told her that to her face? Or will she beat you up

It is an avatar full moon..

Vampires arise!

That's awesome!

My cache: Good job, you're starting to behave yourself!

RP: Nice change from "Happy Monster"...

YM: I agree with SJ here... Totally random.

Inphernic, if i were you i wouldn't say anything about going low.. cough*Toyota Carina II*cough...

i could and have, but im also very bored!;)

Does she code or is she just here to bug you?

CGamesPlay's and Ben's still need work. Irrelevant's is cool As one of the few that hasn't changed, Yves' is now strangely annoying

Weel, don't worry, I have a slew of surrealism to sludge through...

[edit]
kazzmir (below): In the time I've been here, I don't believe you've changed that avatar!

Like my new avatar?

what is it? pixel people?

I don't code. I'm here to bug my brother and bond with the rest of you.

aahh bondage eh.

Bug and bond, okay, cool. I have to pay attention though; from the Recent Threads page I thought you were Yves

It used to be a picture of some kids playing baseball or something ...

It's because japanese lacks "V" and "L", instead having "B" and "R". Transliteration:

Verdandi - ve-r-da-n-di - berudandii
Belldandy - be-l-da-n-dy - berudandii

See?

No, I don't think she said she was here for bondage...

The word is bonding... People, get your heads out of the gutters! Thats my spot!

well usually when you complete the action of this so called "bonding" you get the object called "bondage".

PS. CGames: just giving a witty acceptance.

no bondage for you guys.:P
Shall i use the verb "commune" then

NO BONDAGE!!!!! NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!

... o well.

[edit] ... ooooo yay i made the thread really wide.[/edit]

[edit]i wouldnt be talking moose boy.[/edit]

Good that you don't let those freaks run ya off like that

IB: Ad some spaces for gods sake!

edit: IB: Huh? What you mean? I don't post long threads!

Heh; what wide thread? hugs Opera

You guys can't hit on this one; her brother's here too. Beware the Evil Spinning Skull of Death!

I love this place. My brother didn't tell this place was full of interesting weirdos like myself

havent even seen her, how can we hit on her. anyways me an TF are just having a "friendly" argument over whos the freakiest.

You think I'm a freak? . Sure. Just wait till I'm done my "Thinger" Then You won't "think" I'm a freak! Everyone will know.

Basically It holds "things". Its webbased, and pluggable. Everything is a thing, so thats why its called a "thinger". I'll be adding my links, books, dvds, and anime episodes to it first... Then Who knows what I'll thingerize in it.

Manjula: Yes. Were all very weird. Comes from soaking up the radiation from our CRT monitors... Good thing I don't have a CRT anymore

Don't worry my brother wouldn't notice even if you farted in his face

and was it you who tested this?

Now Manjula (cool name, btw) has to hack Yves' account and change his avatar.

(I'm assuming that's the line that prompted Yves to direct his sister here in the first place ...)

NAh.. I'll bet the absolute freakyness eminating from this end of the web just drew her here. I mean, seriously.

i agree.

It's the freakiness.
And i haven't personally farted on Yves face but plenty of other ppl have

w00t. I win.

yep, ya know if 23 and TF werent here in the first place i dont know if she wouldve ever made it here.
