Joel D. Park Posted November 14, 2001 Share Posted November 14, 2001 Call me crazy, but does anyone else associate people on the message board with their Avatars. If someone has a "Dark" or "Evil Looking" avitar, I'm sometimes uncomfortable repling to their posts. :-) Marco for instance, I always associate with the Blue Blinking Ghost thing, I always pictre some guy typing in messages who is all smiley and is moving their mouth and stuff... It's creepy in a way. NE146.. I don't even try to picture you :-) If I met you guys in real life I'd never believe it was you... And, when someone changes their avitar it's like I'm talking to a whole new person. hehe. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Malix Posted November 14, 2001 Share Posted November 14, 2001 Good call Joel, I had not even thought about it but I do the same thing. Especially when someone changes there avatar, I almost get mad, like there cheating on me or something. And Jun has got to be a Hot Japanese Girl.

StanJr Posted November 14, 2001 Share Posted November 14, 2001 I do the same thing. When Lemmi changed his, I was confused at first. I always associated Lemmi with the crop duster. It takes some adjustment. I guess that just happens unconsciously, when the only visual we have to associate with a personality is the little avatar pic. I don't suppose Russ Perry Jr. has this problem! Spidey Stan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lemmi Posted November 14, 2001 Share Posted November 14, 2001 haha Stan i looked over the message board before i picked the Barnstorming one and i didnt notice any others so i picked that for a quick fix, I like to distinguish myself from others and when i click on a post i notice the avatars first then the names the pong guys mix me up alot Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

King Asmo Posted November 14, 2001 Share Posted November 14, 2001 This is pretty much exactly what I look like, except I'm not a natural blonde... my blonde comes from a bottle. Overall, tho, I'm pretty German/Scandinavian looking, so I thought this avatar fit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Atari-Jess Posted November 14, 2001 Share Posted November 14, 2001 and i am always being followed by these dudes in robot costumes. I guess my white bodysuit costume doesn't help, and the fact that my head isn't attached to my body and that what ever i say appears over my head. and the fact that im 2d....

Lemmi Posted November 14, 2001 Share Posted November 14, 2001 I like your avatar Atari-jess its nice and colorful Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ze_ro Posted November 14, 2001 Share Posted November 14, 2001 Aside from the hooded cloak and glowing eyes, I don't look much like the actual Wizard of Wor I've actually been thinking of re-doing my Avatar lately... it would still be the Wizard, but I'd try to make it look a lot better. --Zero Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StanJr Posted November 14, 2001 Share Posted November 14, 2001 Zero, If yours had a clearer background it would make it look real snazzy. ubersaurus new avatar makes me scared. What is that thing? And hey, if you want to think that I am Spider-man, or even look remotely like Peter Parker, PLEASE go right ahead. I can use all the help I can get.

ubersaurus Posted November 14, 2001 Share Posted November 14, 2001 It's Sinistar! Of Sinistar fame. It's supposed to move, but I sent it wrong, so I'll try it again later, when I'm home again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ATARIPITBULL Posted November 15, 2001 Share Posted November 15, 2001 I think my new Avatar is great, but it only show's my feelings for collecting Atari 2600 games and etc, and not the person I am, even if I can bench press 375 , and can dead lift 600, I'm just a softy.

I intentionally added the glow around the wizard... but it didn't interact too well with the walls and stars in the background. Maybe one day when I have a little more time on my hands. I don't plan on adding any animation any time soon though... there's enough seizure inducing flashing things on the internet these days. --Zero Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
liquid_sky Posted November 15, 2001 Share Posted November 15, 2001 I used to be the pressure cooker guy.. but now im a gun wielding guy with a shiny facemask and stuff..yeah. im always confused when opl change their avatars, i guess i become attached to them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StanJr Posted November 15, 2001 Share Posted November 15, 2001 No, the glow is very cool, its the wall and stars (you really have to look to see the stars) that seem to be extra fuzzy. I really like your avatar though, I hope you don't change it too much! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ubersaurus Posted November 15, 2001 Share Posted November 15, 2001 I was just getting confused with all the pong people, so I figured, this will let me stand out! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StanJr Posted November 15, 2001 Share Posted November 15, 2001 OH you stand out alright. You scare the living beejeezus out of me (and quite frankly, I didn't know I had beejeezus in me, living or dead, which is scary in its own right!). It is a cool looking avatar, just scary.
