Grim Fandango 'nuff said.

It represents me the best; A bored, cynical gamer with a cool hat who spends too much time playing games and someone who amazingly still enjoys going to arcades.

Because me and some other of my friends spent hours slaving over an interactive scrim video with flash animation and, well, intense awsomeness. And this icon was our icon. Each one of us is a charachter on the boat.
I'm the tall one on the crows nest, margaret is the one driving the ship, Julia is the one at the front, connor is the one with the mop, and jack is the one with the potatos.

It matched my name perfectly and i just really liked it. I don't know what else I can say, really.

We are the Space Robots...

I picked my avatar because "Firefly" is my favorite show and always will be. I'm a Browncoat 'til the day I die.

Cuse its animated and its cool and classic and other people don't use it.

Xykon is just such an Evil bastard. but in such a funny way.

Because TransFormers kick ass!

I'd change it, but I fear the consequences. I get a PM every few days saying how awesome it is, and I'd rather not disappoint all the people who enjoy being hypnotized by it.

Oh, and it's Fargoth from Morrowind if you didn't know. First NPC you meet in the game after you complete the tutorial, and the point where you choose whether you're going to be a hero or the guy who says hello with his fists.

I chose a promo for one of my favourite short films ever: A silhouette animation called "The Mysterious Geographical Adventures of Jasper Morello."

I also have an obsession with silhouettes and clockwork, both of which are on this pic.

Those who love steampunk; watch it. Seriously.

Expect a review soon.

This one is because I like Prince of Persia. No, it's not because of Yahtzee, it's because I just finished the Two Thrones after putting off for so long (yes, it's because of the retrospective that I started playing again), and it rekindled my love of Prince of Persia. Playing Assassin's Creed right now, and planning to get the new Prince of Persia, when it comes out.

You change it and i will hunt you down poleboy... hunt you down and gut you like a fish.
...wow your avatar is hypnotic... wha... what was I talking about before?

NewClassic:
We are the Space Robots...

Your avatar looks like a rusty H.E.L.P.e.R. from the Venture Bros.

i picked mine because at the time i was emo. not anymore :)

It features two great men from Greek history, Epaminondas and Pelopidas.

AgentCLXXXIII:
Because I can relate to Walter O' Dim/Randall Flagg/Martin Broadcloak.

I take it you just really don't like people...

Found the movie he starred in to be an interesting interpretation of Satan.

AgentCLXXXIII:
On some level yes, on some level no...mainly due to the fact that I could relate to the fact that no one could relate to the character. Plus by the seventh Dark Tower novel you learn...

Spoiler Tags

I know what it's like to be misinterpreted due to others perceptions of right wrong/good and evil.

Spoiler tags added, for no reason at all.

It's me, in a costume, photoshopped to look more "fantasy"

because mine is....me in comic form?

See for yourself, www.alisonprime.com

Because I always get mad when I play halo 3 and lose or when I play CoD4 and I do really good followed by me getting mercilessly noob-tubed by the guys from halo. It then became my gamer pic on XBL and I copy-paste it into all my profiles now.

I chose mine because, well it's mine and mine alone...
Fear the digestive might of the blob BWAHAHAHAHAHA!

Well, it's SUPPOSED to shout around, instead I can't get it to do anything! I picture it getting its jaw locked.

Because it's the only picture on my computer that could pass as a slightly orginal avatar, and it's square.

GothmogII:

In the beginning of the seventh Dark Tower novel you learn why he is...who he is.

And no...the character as himself, isn't portrayed as he is in the film.

Oh, I thought it was meant to be God...

(It's actually a fragment of a heavily modified picture of myself which turned out to look really cool. With the central lens, which was originally coloured the shade of my skin, I had to modify it for the smaller avatar picture because it didn't look as cool or threatening.

The original modified picture before modification of the central lens of the RAK MAI (I'll say that this was an earlier revision of the MAI) is present here:

I am a rebel and will hold off putting an avatar as long as I can.

he looks like me only with dark hair, im a bit of a blondie :)

Why Father Grigori? Why not?

"Though they call me crazy, I care not, for Thou art my helper, my shield and my saviour..."

because WC2 is awesome & and I have a beard.

I made mine because I like L ;D And I picked it for the same reason :D
