How did you pick your avatar?

[anthony87]

I was in the pub and a friend took a photo of me where I look good for a change. So i decided to use it.

I use photos of myself for all my avatars.

 

[Georgie_Leech]

I love the character and he doesn't get enough publicity, so it was a no-brainer. This one had some March Mayhem added too.

 

[Bofus Teefus]

I think mine was inspired by a religion thread where both sides were flaming the everloving crap out of each other. I think my inner monologue was something like....this:

Bofus: What an angry bunch.
Bofus: Yeah Bofus, they could use something to cheer them up.
Bofus: How about Jesus?
Bofus: Nah, he looks depressing.
Bofus: Ok, how about Buddy Christ?
Bofus: Good call, Bofus! Will that be enough to spread your inner mirth across the internets though?
Bofus: Hmmm...maybe if we threw in a rainbow. Who could stay pissed after beholding the smirk and thumbs up of BC himself, and the happy rainbow?
Bofus: Bofus, my man, you're a bloody bleeding idiot genius!

I chose this one, because all the other pics that had my favorite character were not good enough and I can't find a good one of him in my downloaded episode.

 

[BlumiereBleck]

Uhhh i wanted a gif image but the one i wanted to use was to big so i said screw it i want a image of Gir so i did and here we are.

 

[GLo Jones]

It's a GIF of a running Tapir. 'Nough said. But seriously, /b/ does occasionally produce some good.

 

[Sparrow]

I like Garrus. I like the UK.

IT FITS, KAY?

 

[Kuchinawa212]

I was picking Xbox live gamertag and decided to pick the tougher then nails boss from Tales of Symphonia, since I knew no one would take it. And since I was stealing a name, I'd figured I better make my avatar based on it

 

[War Penguin]

I wanted a funny penguin avatar (until I learned flash animation and make one for myself) but I found this instead. I've grown so attached to it that I've learned to lo- DAMMIT! Flying monkeys stole my avatar... again! Damn them!

[Tandrews]

I went to a house party were the theme was game characters so naturally I had to go as the pyro from TF2. That was one of the best pictures from that night so I stuck it as my avatar

Im pretty happy with it to be honest.

'Cause Order of the Stick is (was?) hilarious.

And evil will always triumph, because good is dumb.

 

[EqualNOpposite]

Plasma fascinates me (as do most aspects of physics that lie outside standard interactions), and plasma lamps are really cool. Thus, MA FACE!

 

[NuclearPenguin]

Simple.
I asked my magic 1 ball if I should have an avatar
It said "Yes"
Then I asked it if I should go with [Insert Avatar Here]
It said "Yes"
Then I asked "But is [Avatar Goes Here] better?]
It said "Yes"
I proceeded like that until my magical 1 ball got overheated and had a meltdown.
True story.

 

[jhaughton]

It might be hard to tell but mine is from an anime called Rosario vampire
I looks totally kick ass
