I was stalking around the forums, you know being an Escapist noob and writing reviews and such, when I realised that some people had some odd avatars (mine for example). I've been a bit curious as too why we chose these in particular, do you they represent who you are?, Are they just fun little pictures? or did you find an image that suits you so much that you never plan to change it as long as you use these boards (I sure have)?

So discuss. Why did you choose your avatar? Do you plan to keep it for good?

Mine is the current avatar I use on my DeviantArt account, made personally at 50 x 50 on MS PAINT.

Seemed like a good choice.

The Lichking is A.Badass and B. My challenge not until I kill him in a 25-man format(most probably never) I won't change the picture or the subject of the picture, but when and if I do I'll replace it with a picture of my character putting on the helm of the Lich King, begginning the cycle again......

Amen brother

I chose mine because some guy, forget his name, was offering to buff up any picture you threw at him for free, and it came out really cool.

I didn't choose my avatar, it chose me.

I will eventually change it when I grow bored enough.

I read your reply before I saw your avatar and thought, "Oh my Lord, I have found my Red Sox soulmate." Sigh. We can dream.

Why do I have the headstock of a Rickenbacker bass? Because that is the bass I will own when I am worthy. Because it is the bass of basses. Because a Fender headstock is less impressive.

They;re a bit too short now. I know Rob wants to make them weekly by season 3, but for now we're dealing with 2 minutes of actual comedy per episode. Trust me, it's a long way till season 3.

Or when Valentin's Day rolls around, and you become one of Xitel's avatar editing slaves again.

On topic: I chose it because it's awesome. And it became even more awesome after the aforementioned avatar editing slave animated it (thanks again Fanboy).

Jericho, you haven't told us why you have a Digimon with a cookie as your avatar. Why ask our reasoning when you won't give your own?

Hasn't this been done about a million times? and didn't i say that the last time this was done?

Well, I'm a Guilmon fan and I think his sense of innosence resemblems mine. Plus... who doesn't love portable pastries?

Note to Pure Chaos: If that's true then the search function on this site REALLY sucks. Yes I did troll around to find duplicate threads, and as of yet have been able to find one like this.

This has been done at least 3 times already.

Mine is from one of the portraits of the future from the Tv show heroes, because it's painted in a cool style and my usual avatar has to be much bigger to work...

I chose mine because I love my little Weighted Companion Cube. I even have one as my wallpaper on my desktop.

My friend tells me I need to get out more.

It's my Xbox gamer tag, and when I filled in my information it automatically made that my avatar. I'm definitely not in a hurry to change it.

I typed ElGringoBandito into google and this was the first image on the page. Therefore it suits me, because its first and requires little thought.

What does that "F#@*ING"-word mean? Somehow I didn't understand it because you used weird and out-of-place symbols instead of actual letters. If you had said "FUCKING" I would have been offended, yet because of these symbols it is perfectly fine.

Mine is my favourite Zero Punctuation image. I even used it on a splash page for one of my University assignments.
