I made up Fineldar on the spot while making my first character for the original EverQuest, and have used it for everything since,

My avatar was just next in the line, as I had already used my Calvin & Hobbes, Geometry, and Laughing Man Avatars elsewhere. And 1984 was a really cool book.

My avatar is the vaultboy poking out of the Black Mesa logo. I made it myself. I'm thinking about raising the vaultboy a bit, though, so it's more obvious that it's the Black Mesa logo. Or is it obvious enough?
I think it's obvious, but I could probably pick out which wall segments are from Half-Life and which aren't.

Wall segments? Like the circle? They are all from Half-Life, the circle around the vaultboy was thin, and the one around BM was thick, so the circle is all HL. Some parts don't look quite as good because I had to make the whole image smaller by 20x20 pixels, so I had to edit out some icky stuff and make the circle look less like a saw-blade.

If you mean the walls on the mesa, I had to lower them so more of the vaultboy's head could be seen than his eyes and the top of his nose.

GothmogII, after the Balrog, not a goth cat, nor the orc the the movie.

Haven't read the Silmarillion in ages, else I'd quote from that...so, here's some Wikipedia:

Gothmog appears in various versions of Silmarillion material. He is physically massive and strong, and in one version he is some 12 feet tall. He wields a black axe and whip of flame as his weapons. As the chief of the Balrogs, Gothmog is perhaps the single most physically powerful of Morgoth's servants.
Means: Dread Oppressor :3
And in that grand internet tradition of including some kind of numerals in one's handle, I opted for some 'II' as in the second.

I'd have an avatar too...but, I can't seem to get that working, you need a certain amount of posts till you can use them on these forums right? Or...wait, some people have less posts but have avatars...humm...I'm confused 0_o

Well, Zak Frost(or just Zak, usually) is my game name, so I use it for almost everything.
My current avatar is cut out of this(only about an hour ago). Because that show was awesome.
And my original one was a shrunken version of this. Which is because pentagrams are fun! :D I found it one a while ago when I was searching for something to use as the picture for this card:

Back when I was making tons of these fake YuGiOh cards, as jokes on another website.
I'll will update this, if anyone cares about my future avatars.
I counter your trap card and play this,

At the risk of turning this into a fake card battle thread:
TAKE THIS!

(I'm sure someone would see that as offensive)

I got my name from Futurama, Kiff Kroker, the squishy green alien dude. I picked it six years ago when I was trying to think of a name that nobody else would have on Delta Force: Black Hawk Down for the PC. My avatar is the Alien/Predator hybrid from Alien vs. Predator: Requiem because I think it's cool.

As for the name... I tried about 10,000 different names on the Nintendo forums about 12 years ago and this was the only one I actually got. Been using it ever since.

I had someone make me the Dr Pepper buddy a few years ago because I enjoy drinking the product. There are no reasons behind my name.

No I didn't get my name from the TV show, I only found out about it due to everyone messaging me on random online games trying to talk to me about the show as if I was the only person in their life who has every seen it, which I hadn't. I mostly just think the name is funny, and well Wario is the most amazing video game character ever so hes my avatar.

I made this name when I was 13, and I'm 20 now, as my first screen-name. I think it was for warcraft 2 or SC, I can't remember which. Anyway I liked it because I've got a huge ego and I liked the idea of people calling me "Oh-Wiseone" which normanly got shortened to Wiseone. It seemed like more of a name in that it sounded like a title to me.

And the avatar is there because that pic is funny as hell, I mean what the hell is that thing?

Avatar : Surly looking penguin, just a cool image I liked. He's from the webcomic "Wally and Osborne".

i was reading "Slaughterhouse 5" when i made this account, so i figured The_tralfalmadorian was pretty unique and unlikely to be used.

as for the avatar, i just so happen to LOVE Watchmen, and Rorschach was by far the most fascinating character. Also, no pictures of tralfalmadorians exist
