[OT] What's with the real pics for avatar icons? ;)

[Robbert Raets]

Bunch of wussess. Real Men don't hide behind pixel constructs, the show you their true selves!

My ego's as big as my avatar. That's the only reason!

I *think* I was one of the first.

I switched to this avatar on the Pits of Evil forums about 2 weeks before avatars were turned on for these forums.

So when the avatars got 'turned on' here, I just used the same one. The pic is me showing off my new cohort / follower - a hobgoblyn.

(I was sooooo geek-happy when I found hobgoblyn at the local beer store... I came home and told Denise I had become an evil warlord and was collecting an army of hobgoblyns!)

I tried to upload my pic, but it just won't work!

Note to the terminally confused:

This is not what I really look like, nor am I on fire. Just thought I'd reassure everyone.

Who was first?

It is the fame of the boards, it is the need to stand out and scream into the night "Give me the credit I am due!"

All I know is my picture cause insanity checks and slaps! So I will be the last to ever show my face as an avatar!

I KNEW it! Now you'll close this thread, I'll bet!


I don't know if I should change mine or not...I mean, I've trimmed the beard a little.

Mine is a mere illusion. People tend to freak out when they see my true self:

That is a big avatar, it demands instant respect and awe. I bow before it's might and tremble at it's size. It's nearly as inspiring as Crothian's post count.

As for my avatar, I don't really have a head full of french fries. I didn't come up with a cool user name so my cutting edge hip avatar balances things out.

Avatars?!? We don't need no steenkin' avatars!
