The story of you avatar Thread!

As some of you know I've become a big fan of the original artwork used for game packaging. Mario is gunna be a tough one to get so I had to settle for this one.



Its from a box of Apple jacks cereal and I fear its the closest I will get to owning a published original Mario piece.

 

Mines from some random PC-98 game, I think it looks pretty cool until I find something else...

 

My current avatar is my Halloween costume from last year, one of the Residents.

Before that, it was a closeup of my webcomic character

 

Mine's the Drive-Thru Whale from the Homestar Runner toon "Drive-Thru" (which later cameoed in the Strong Bad Emails "mini-golf" and "nightlife").

Sever your leg, please. It's the greatest day.

 

Mine came from this:

One of the greatest console ads of all time :icon_bigg

 

That's not good enough, it could be from a space battle stratergy game like Schwartzchild or some hentai game like Nova, and let's face it the PC-9801 (and the FM Towns and X68000) had more hentai games then real games. :110:

 

Mine is from Halloween 2006. We had a Tetris DS store display from earlier that year, which I took home. Pondering what to be for halloween I glued it all together for stability and cut the necessary holes for me to wear it to work while I was working at EB Games.

I worked a whole 8 hour shift with this costume on, ended up with some small bruises on my shoulders where the weight of the outfit was being supported. Was totally worth it.

 

i bet you made some killer sales! :lol:

 

Mine contains a few of my favorite retro games and a little detail about myself, pretty boring really :lol:

 

Actually yes! a lot of the customers picked up little extra things I would recommend, more so than usual. I'm sure of EB Games realized the sales increase was due to an L tetrimino costume it would have been the new staff uniform quickly enough

 

My username... -_-

So unexciting. :lol:

 

I don't have one...yet :3

 

My avatar is so full of feelings that is unexplainable.

 

My avatar doesn't need a story, it's creepy enough even without a background story.

 

erm...do i really have to?

 

Same with me... both would create a lot of questions to a psychologist :lol:

 

The one i got now is from a 1992 casio keyboards tv ad.

 

I'm going to kidnap your girlfriend, but you better not try and follow me! I've got an infinite supply of.....ummm....barrels! Big barrels!

 

My 'Site Supporter Avator', the sonic Xtreme one, was granted to the AG members who put their hands in their pockets and raised the money necessary to keep this fantastic forum open to the masses

...I don't know the exact numbers of remaining Site Supporter Avator holders, if you still have one step forward and join the elite, reminise about 'the good 'ole days', hehe

*looks @ virtual alan*

 

Looks like Miyamoto with the new game to get Men ironing with Wii Iron. :lol:
