Boredom and procrastination usually makes me do shit. This time I think I am at peace with the Jeremy Clarkson avatar, I feel it speaks to me on so many levels. There is a connection here that's quite deep..we both share the same madness..

I just get tired of a certain avatar or character. For the last one I didn't like staring at bright yellow all the time, so I switched to a different one of the same character. And then I found Maromi. Right now Maromi is perfect.

That would be awesome, but I think ol Hubilub has the epileptic-taunting avatar on the site.
Also, I love the name change!
Thanks. It allows me to mock the rabble and maintain an element of class and sophistication, now onwards to figure out how to make John Travolta's head explode:D
It really does.

I don't think I'll ever want to change since Toki as a cat was probably the coolest moment ever in Metalocalypse.

When a better one comes along, and for the Holidays.

Originally I had a ZP Avatar (Yhatzee doing a wink and thumbs up from the Assasin's Creed review).
I changed that when I made this:

Which is way cooler.

I changed it a couple of times for holidays/events such as March Madness, Summer, Halloween, etc. Then someone else stole it (Yes you Sewblon) who posts more than me, and wouldn't change it. So I switched to a Mysterious Blackbird, and now it's Winter variant.

This topic made me change my avatar :D
I had no avatar so I decided to open paint and make myself a crappy avatar, I'll find a better one later, I don't feel like looking fora better one at the moment

I started with the Locke (FF6) avatar and kept it for over a year, but decided to kill two birds with one stone in changing it:

1) deflecting any "what do you look like?" queries (not that there were any, but...), and
2) creating a ready-made avatar identity---now I'm "that guy with the rat".

No.

OT: I felt it needed changing.
It's a 6th sense
"When-to-change-your-avatar-ism" I think it's called
I felt it didn't need changing.

It just isn't you, and we all agree.

Especially the certain demi-god of this site who you photoshopped into a certain image *nudge nudge*.

I rarely change my avatar once I select one. Heck, I've used the same picture for my Facebook profile for 3 years now. I changed mine on this site once to a Hallowe'en themed eggy because I wanted to do something different (and because a fellow Escapist made it for me) but I doubt I'll change it again. I'm really attached to my eggy.

Usally just versions for Holidays and stuff. I like General Raam. Why would I change him?
