No, not that kind.

So where is your avatar from? Care to share what avatars you use, or discuss avatars in general?

So where is your user picture from? Care to share what pics you use on other forums? (I know we used to have a thread about this, but it seems it was lost in The Great Crash.)

My current avatar, and all my previous avatars, are from Gunnerkrigg Court. So it's probably safe to assume that all my future avatars will be from there as well.

If we're going retro, I found this on a forum I haven't posted on in two years.

We're going retro?

Time to break out an old avatar of mine—which also shows off retro qualities! Simon Belmont!

Well, I used Simon Belmont elsewhere before using Lemeza here. Also, Lemeza is technically faux-retro, though done very convincingly.

So, you pick.

Except Moony.

Well... this is the first avatar I used...

To get any older, I'd have to take one from a different board.

Wait, so now it's a retro avatar theme?

Of course.

Alys is retro...I haven't used an Alys avatar before, but it is retro.

Solstace reminded me of my beautiful icon. Not my oldest, but I already used my first one recently, so.

So is this retro or creepy avatars...? I am slightly confused. Or could it be both?

Well, I might go retro. If I can find the Half-Life 2 logo I used, that is.

I think I'll stick with creepy. Nothing's creepier than me smiling. Well, except Haven smiling. According to him, anyway.

I don't really have anything particularly "retro" (I don't think Uboa counts, no matter how pixellated he might be) so I will just stick with the sociopathic nuclear hell-raven.

Oddly enough, Tzetze's new avatar (as of writing) looks like genderbent Rin Tohsaka with his hood up.

Which means, in accordance with the Avatars and Voices thread, means I now picture him with a Johnny Yong Bosch voice (Lelouch or Ichigo type) or a Tomokazu Sugita voice.

It's the shot of Richey Edwards from the Manic Street Preacher's...infamous 1991 interview with NME. Just indulging in some morbid idolatry while I look for more pics.

So would I. And I don't use forums very much, so I would only have a couple of avatars to choose from, and I don't like them very much. To really to retro, I'd have to track down my old character avatar from Maple Story, which seems unlikely, considering that I got hacked and lost my items, so if I logged onto the site, it'd be me itemless.

Also, Tzetze, what's your avatar from? I don't know, and I keep reading it as a smirking/malevolent Wall Reaper. And I know it's not.

I can't possibly imagine you with a different avatar, just like Zyxzy.
