I thought I'd resurrect another old Asylum thread, especially since there are a bunch of new people here. This one's pretty self-explanatory: why do you use your current avatar on the forum?

In my case, mine's an obvious reference to the graphic novel Watchmen, which I love. If I remember correctly, I put the quote in my signature first (which holds a special significance for me), and then chose the avatar to go along with it.

How about the rest of you?

It's a fun adventure game that nobody ever seems to know about, so I might as well show it some love.

Those opinions do seem to vary quite a bit. For me, it's a close tie between Tamers and Adventure, but Tamers wins out with more emotional depth and character development (imo).

Well, I'm a Space Quest junkie as well as a King's Quest junkie, and I really do have a soft spot for Stellar Santiago, as she is one of the few characters in the series who isn't a total jerk to Wilco.  I am NOT a Stellar/Rog shipper, though. I'll view them as best friends or like siblings.  ;D

When I joined the forum, I tried to pick a name of Odin for my screenname (b/c at the time I used names of Odin for everything (many of said things are still around, so I guess I still do)), but I couldn't decide on one so I went with Delling instead (Norse god of the dawn) and as a compromise of sorts, used a picture of Odin for my avatar (with a hat that looks kind of like Graham's (though you can't see it under the XD now)).

Ah, you mean Mega Graham and the large grey ham and their quest to cram several grams of graham into a jar of jam?

Y'see, Ma'am, they met a lamb who sold them a doorjam they could use to cram the several grams of graham into the jar of jam, since the large gray ham's exercise plan was on the lam. However, the lamb's doorjam was a marketing scam, and the lamb left Mega Graham and his buddy, grey ham, with the sham of a doorjam!

I hear they're off to seek help from Dink and Sam.

Well, Adrienne went with Hera, and I love her avatar. So I started looking at Age of Mythology gods and goddesses. We came across Aphrodite (can't remember if she is in AoM, but if she was, I didn't care for the pic), so I just googled images of Aphrodite :)

My avatar is Ike, the main character from one of my favorite games, Fire Emblem: Path of Radiance. Path of Radiance was the last great Fire Emblem game in my honest opinion. Nothing good has come out since. This was an avatar that I had lying around from when I used to frequent the site, Gamespot. I think I'll be changing my avatar soon though. I haven't decided whether I should pick something King's Quest-related or Fierce Deity-related. Fierce Deity was also another memorable character from another good game, Majora's Mask.

I changed my avatar. At least now it is related to my screen-name. Plus, it looks really cool. I was trying to decide between these two pictures:

(http://t2.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:a3NqLxqk6T3zxM:http://www.freewebs.com/legendaryfoe/250px-Fierce_Deity_Link.png&t=1)

I went with the one that was more epic.

This isn't really avatar-worthy, but I like it:

Mine is a cropped version of a fanart of Sheena for Ace Investigations (a Phoenix Wright game)

IF you can see mature art on Deviantart, here is the link to it. (http://arkillian.deviantart.com/gallery/?catpath=/#/d2lskux) It contains boobies so it's NSFW. It's an in joke in the Phoenix Wright crowd that she looks like Lady Gaga, so I made an avatar of her dressed up as Lady Gaga

Atec, I love the album that is your new avatar! I discovered Fight With Tools last year, and it is one of the most musically refreshing, challenging, and cohesive albums that I know.

Have you heard Survival Story (Flobots' new album)? I consider it to be almost equally as good as FWT.

I have survival story on my ipod, but I haven't taken the time to listen to it yet.

Flobots are amazing.  I agree, it is so refresing,  A very unique sound and great lyrics and delivery.  It is a very cohesive album and if flows really well and no track really seems out of place.  All of the songs are good on their own too.  The lyrics are so true and well written, from a really interesting perspective

I will give survival story a listen sometime soon.  I have heard from my friend who got me into flobots in the first place that it is just about as good as fight with tools, but I have been enjoying fight with tools so much that whenever I want flobots, I want it.

Thats a good idea.  There are tons if references in like every song.  I mean usually every line is important and means something specific in their songs.

I got into them from handlebars.  I used to listen to that all the time, even though I am not the kinda person who obsesses over one song usually.  I found out that it actually had a real meaning (the first time I heard it I thought it was a joke/parody), and loved the style.  I just recently actually got/listened to the rest of the album though, and everything else is as good/better.  Normally when an album only has one popular single and it's a less popular band, I don't usually get what I hope for, but this time I did.  It's really varied, but I really enjoy the album all the way through.  Lyrically and musically.
Title: Re: Explain your avatar
Post by: kindofdoon on January 13, 2011, 07:45:11 AM
Yeah, I think almost all of the Flobots' popularity is due to Handlebars, which is probably still my favorite song of theirs, though both FWT and SS have plenty of excellent songs. Their albums' depth is remarkable. My favorites:

FWT: Combat, The Rhythm Method, Handlebars, and Same Thing.
SS: The Effect, White Flag Warrior, Airplane Mode, Whip$ and Chain$, and Panacea for the Poison.

In short, I like everything they have released.
