Well I'm a Halo Fan and I love the elites so naturally I made my multiplayer model an elite, I did this back in a modded version of Halo 1 and made an aqua coloured elite, then in Halo 2 gave him more detail and then reached Halo 3 which is the specimen you see before you. I guess I decided that this aqua elite has been at the core of my Halo playing history and since Halo is at the core of my gaming history naturally it made sense to use this picture as an avatar if I were to join a video game forum.
Also the 'E' is symbolic of my love for the Escapist.

My avatar is simply the internet's doodle of what I did on July twenty second 2006.

I'm friends with this SWELL artist here, and he makes a ton of these Kerricks.

I sent him my picture, me made it, I'm eternally grateful, and everyone's happy.

And why would I NOT want a unique avatar made specifically for me!?!

Due to my username, Kuchinawa, a boss from my favorite JRPG, I decided that I'd pick him as my avatar. Makes sense right?

I found the Soviet Mudkip on Google images, and someone put the red lucario in there. I'm going to change for my 5000Th, but I won't tell you what.
Was it you who had an ice cream cone and sickle with the caption everyone gets ice cream? If so you should switch back to that.

My avatar is a combination of photo shop and boredom. You know your day is dull when you start making random images in photo shop. This was one of them, a combination of an enemy in Mother 3 and a TF2 Medic achievement. Why is it my avatar? I have no fucking clue. I think I just randomly selected it.

Meh, fits with my name I've used for 5 years. Found it using Google. Chose this specific one as I can also touch my tongue to my nose.

Well, mine (I know it's tiny, but it won't get bigger dammit!) is from a forum I used to go to. It was a forum dedicated to Cardistry (aka doing sweet looking flourishes), and someone photo shopped a queen of spades with a stache for one of the threads. It was then said everyone should set their avatar to it, so a group of us did. The variations were endless, it was almost a meme on a forum that detested memes.

I am a fan of Axis Powers Hetalia.

My avatar is of Prussia, when he was a Teutonic Knight (technically, before he was Prussia) so he's a little kid there. Then he grows up and becomes Prussia.

Who is Suiseiseki?
Look up either Rozen Maiden or "Desu." Let's see what happens when you use the second.

Edit: please don't use Google. That sends you right to Encyclopedia Drammatica.
