Where your avatar comes from

Mine is Michael the brave, who was a prince in the late 16th century and early 17th century who ruled present day Romania and Moldova.

I am my avatar... because noone can resist a moustache! (Although, that was 2 moustaches ago!)

 

[deviltry]

Escapist's designer drew one for me.

Not gonna lie, it does not look like that armor provides much in the way of protection.

Mine is the head of Ultramarines 2nd Company Captain Cato Sicarius, from the 5th edition Warhammer 40,000 Codex:Space Marines.
I colored it in PhotoShop.

The Ultramarines are badass and Sicarius looks like he avatar of their awesomeitude...even if he himself is technically a jackass.

Mine is the Escapist's default avatar of Crush, given a Happy New Year's hat by the nice people over at the Avatar Store. I want to say that it was Aerosteam in particular that made it.

I had just watched Finding Nemo before I joined the site and was too lazy to get a picture from the Internet or upload one, so I decided to just go with Crush since he's my favorite character. As for the hat, I think it's nice to get into the New Year's spirit.

Me on My KTM, in Kamloops. I like the picture because of the weather that day.

 

[Glaber]

It's the mark of The Outsider.

Sackboy Cole MacGrath

Mainly because I run the inFAMOUS wiki, but also because someone started using my personal one
(Which was personal, "cause I drew it me self, govn'!")

 

[Skuggen]

My avatar is a picture of "Game Grumps". A show on youtube with Egoraptor and JonTron, a very deadly combination. One of my favorite youtube channel

 

[Ctmnt08]

I live in North Carolina, as does Escapist HQ. Figured that the WWII era battleship/museum ship USS North Carolina was appropriate for the site.

Zero Punctuation's review of Halo 3.

Captain Bland's Monotonous Adventure.

It was a statement about the projected future of the game industry if we as a community don't stop lowering the bar so popular shit doesn't get a free pass.

And frankly I stand by that train of logic.

But barring avoiding the total cultural stagnation we're diving head first into, I'll at least be able to say I was into Captain Bland before he was the titular character in his own 6 game trilogy.

Oh god! I'm a hipster of the cultural apocalypse!

In case it's not obvious, it's a cropped out section from the box art of Psychonauts, and because I really liked Psychonauts. And cause Raz's costume is kickass. Damn, if I ever cosplay, that's what I'm going to go as.

Microsoft Paint and about 5 seconds.

[xmbts]

It's artwork off of a single.

Spoiler: This single to be exact.

Mine is from Greg the Bunny, blah. Curse Fox for cancelling Greg and live-action Tick, blah.

 

[Blow_Pop]

It's a photo of me that one of my friends took of me last month in Downtown Riverside at the Festival of Lights.

Mine is Agent 47 because I love the Hitman games, they were the games that made me fall in love with the stealth games. Even after the heart break that was caused by Absolution, I still love 'em. Best games ever with one of the best characters ever. Love it
