Your avatars and signatures?

Ninja Spirit · 06/25/2006, 08:34 PM

Just for fun, let's talk about our avs and sigs, tell exactly where we got them from. I know some of you guys have the Battle Royale character avs.

My avatar: her name is Eden Riegel; I got quite a crush on her right now.

My signature: My drawing of YTMND's tag on Leeroy Jenkins, with Martin Lawrence/Black Knight instead of the WoW Paladin.

My avatar is from the ending sequence of Rude Breaker. It's the only Compile shooter on the PC-98.

esteban · 06/26/2006, 01:18 AM

Ahhhh, so it's Eden Riegel. I was wondering who that was ;)

Clearly, I have THE EXECUTIONER from Battle Royale. Back in the day, my brother's friend got Battle Royale for Xmas. Of course, none of us could take it seriously, and we all felt bad that he got it for Xmas. Thankfully, he was also given Cadash. Not bad. Anyway, we actually had a lot of stupid-fun playing Battle Royale, despite it being a god-awful game. I still love the catch-phrases for each character.

B.R.A.W.L., baby.

The fact that my avatar has S & M undertones simply adds to its allure. But, the original cover art really isn't risque. I cleaned up all the avatars I made, to make them look more striking. It was only after I did this that The Executioner's essence revealed itself.

There are still three unclaimed avatars that folks can grab as avatars, if they'd like.

Keranu · 06/26/2006, 01:28 AM

Battle Royal is far from being a bad game. It's a very fun, easy-to-play, and addicting game, so that certainly makes it a great game for me

.

Anywho -- my avatar comes from Steve (thanks again, bud!) and is also from Battle Royale. It's for my personal favorite Battle Royale character, Spitefire Spike! Awesome character !!

I think Spike is the sharpest-looking avatar of the lot... everything is perfect.

And of course I love playing Battle Royale, but I was worried that I'd lose credibility by admitting it publicly, since I've already proclaimed my love for Rastan Saga II

Photoshop'd hucard with the logo from my free quarterly pdf mag (cough! http://www.multilinkmagazine.com)

When each issue is finished I often send out promotional copys on CDr. If only something closer to the hucard had been adopted on a wider basis, it would have been amazing to hand someone the hucard in the image instead.

or is it Jared4781?

grendelrt · 06/26/2006, 12:41 PM

Nope I am not Jarod =) This is actually my second Turbo Collection too. Had a TG16 w/ CD growing up, all the friends had the SNES and Genesis. Loved the system to death, grew up and went to college. Right before I left my mom wanted me to get rid of stuff in the house, sold the TG16 w/ CD and a shit ton of games for like 500 bucks. Yeah it hurts hard now, since some of the games I sold are worth easily 100 each now. I had more than 50 games with it. Couple years ago I started building my collection again, starting with the US Turbo Duo I lusted over when I was kid =) Side note, just won 4 Hu Cards on ebay woo hoo, Military Madness, Alien Crush, Space Harrier, and Blazing Lazers.

Haha, it's ok. I've already lost all credibility on these boards for good gaming since it seems literally everyone here knows I am a sucker for cheesy games

TJ · 06/27/2006, 12:04 AM

My avatar is from the box art of the Famicom version of Elevator Action -- EA is one of my top 5 favorite classic arcade games of all time.

And my sig is just me pimping my websites.

cavein2000 · 06/27/2006, 02:02 PM

My avatar is much like the one td741 created. I couldn't find the wrap-around chin strap style beard though, so I photoshopped it up a bit. I also tailored the hair a bit.

I'm actually looking to put up something new though. Maybe a piece of my artwork or something. Word...

Also, i think i'm going to use the signature - "what a horrible night to have a curse.." even though I think I've seen someone else with it.

esteban · 06/27/2006, 07:46 PM

Any signature that references Hec ate's curse should be used, IMO.

PC Gaijin · 06/28/2006, 12:25 AM

My avatar is from SGX GnG obviously. No special meaning to it, I just like the art. I also use it over on the Digital Press forums. No sig because frankly I always thought sigs were kind of stupid.

OldRover · 06/28/2006, 04:15 PM

My current avatar is Jofre Ryudel from Exile. On some forums, I use Van or Major Payne from Cosmic Fantasy II. My signature is, of course, young Galam from Cosmic Fantasy II with some PSP magic.

SchattenJager0 · 07/05/2006, 02:45 PM

Avatar : German national arms -- being of heavy german heritage it seemed logical, but I will most likely change it to something more gaming relevant, which will immediately make this post obsolete =)

Signature : "The weak will fall, the strong remain" -- Always struck a good chord as a way to live life and keep rockin. The line itself actually comes from a Scorpions song called "No Pain, No gain" released on their album "Face the Heat" (released 1993, track 2)

neokellyzero · 07/12/2006, 09:55 PM

cover for the cure's faith- in my top 5 albums of all time and my favorite of their's.

Of course you like the Scorpions

Anyway, I was surprised to see that they were still around in 1993. I don't think I've heard that album. Have you ever listened to the "Flying the Rainbow" album (I can't remember the title, but the cover has colorful fantasy pop art).

Anyway, even though it is quite different than their later stuff, it's a friggin' awesome album. Even folks who don't dig the Scorpions' popular singles should check out that album.

SchattenJager0 · 07/13/2006, 02:53 AM

I've never actually heard that one. but i did a little research tho, and the cover defiently is in the 'fantasy zone'. 1974 release... is probably a little too behind what i like in ROCK. But hey scorpions can do no wrong =)

Tatsujin · 07/13/2006, 03:21 AM

old NEC logo with two daimakaimura skelletons which grabbing on it^^"

Tatsujin, you're avatar is frickin sweet!

Tatsujin · 07/14/2006, 12:54 AM

thx

i've grabbed those cute skellets out of daimakaimura and made two enhanced gifs, feel free to add them where ever you like

(for example a banner)

they're sooo damn cute!!

merriman_bk · 08/05/2006, 04:52 AM

My ava was stolen from some guy on the neo-geo.com forums, thought it was hilarious. My sig is a parody of a scene from X men 3 if you don't recognize it, a friend made it and I thought it was pretty clever. I'M THE KOOL-AID MAN BITCH!!!

Btw Tatsujin -- You need to hook me up with that mizabaku daiboken icon you had, wanted to steal it to use it on another forum. ;)

Ninja Spirit · 08/22/2006, 03:57 PM

<<<<New Avatar HOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!! Okay okay say say say

In case no one knows who that is, that's Masaki "Razor Ramon HG/Hard Gay" Sumitami . He's a wrestler and comedian. He seems like a scary guy at first because he's paid to act gay when he really isn't, but the more you watch him, he turns out to be the funniest mothafucka on the planet.

guyjin · 08/22/2006, 05:29 PM

Avatar: Bomberman, of course. Even if you don't play the TG16 you should know who he is.

No sig yet. May pick out an amusing quote from a TG game - but bomberman games aren't big on dialog. -_-;

Also, please explain your new sig!

At least I'm hoping to include more information there sometime in the future (I'm working on a new website which will replace the current one).

PCEngineFX · 08/23/2006, 02:07 PM

Avatar: The PC-FX. I choose this photo as it was one of the more rare professional shots of the unit with dramatic lighting.

Sig: First is the last banner I made for pcengine-fx.com. I really like this design and have used it for a long time now. If you can't tell, the background is an extreme close-up of the TG-16, heavily color corrected. The characters to the right represent the PCE (Cotton), PC-FX (Rolfee) and TG-16 (Bonk). Below that is my Xbox 360 Gamercard which you can see what I am currently playing in my spare time.

CrackTiger · 09/20/2006, 07:41 PM

My avatar uses Kabuki's non-battle sprite with the spinning flaming Manji (or swastika if you're ignorant) background from the title screen of Tengai Makyou II.

Kabukiden will alawys be my favorite game and because of it, I love Tengai Makyou in general.

Black Tiger is of course the North American title of the greatest arcade game ever made, which of course was made by Capcom.

Keranu · 11/07/2006, 01:37 AM

Hey Tatsujin I totally dig your new avatar!

/pceoi0.gif

Does anyone know what the American TGCD says in the LED? I have always assumed TG. When I first saw a PCE+CDROM2 displayed at a museum, I didn't know that the LED actually lit up "PC" when you played a game and I thought that was super rad!

Dark Fact · 11/08/2006, 02:08 PM

If you don't know what my avatar is, then prepare to die.

As for my sig, well..if you don't know that scene in the picture, then prepare to die......again!

As for the written part, well...someone has to keep track on the books of Ys somehow! If you don't have that authorization, prepare to die......for the third time!

Keranu · 11/08/2006, 07:59 PM

Haha, yeah I admit that you probably have the best siqnature text on the forum.

Joe Redifer · 11/08/2006, 08:15 PM

Keranu - The TurboGrafx-16 CD-ROM says "PC" and is exactly like the picture you posted. In fact I think the PC Engine CD-ROM and the TG-16 CD-ROM are the same player, only with a slightly different lid and, of course, the color. I bet one unit would work on the other. Wouldn't that rock to see a PC Engine or CoreGrafx with a black Turbo CD player sitting next to it? Or a TG-16 with a white PC Engine CD-ROM sitting behind it? Of course it would rock.

Anyway, my avatar is from the PC Engine title screen of Shinobi, the most popular game ever made (except for the other games that are even more popular, of course). My signature is non-existent because I hate sigs. I am glad that I can turn them off with this new forum software so I don't have to see all your guys' sigs!

TurboXray · 11/08/2006, 09:07 PM

Joe, when I read your posts - I picture you and your face as your avatar. I picture you sitting there - as shinobi - writing replys/posts and what not.

Weird.. I know, but you are the shinobi.

OldRover · 11/08/2006, 09:11 PM

I just changed my avatar to Pillzee from the Foamy cartoons. Why? Because he rocks.

Joe Redifer · 11/09/2006, 05:02 AM

TurboXray, it's the same for me when I see anyone else who happens to have a face somewhere in their avatars. Let this be a word to the wise; don't pick an avatar that features a character with a retarded look on his face, or else I'll think you're just as witty. It's hell when someone changes avatars. It takes awhile to recognize them again, like Michael Jackson.

By the way, I assume Keranu is always struggling with a bowel movement.

Another weird experience is when I get used to a person's avatar before playing the game that the avatar came from. Once I finally play the game I'm like "Hey look it's so-and-so! I hope he doesn't act like such a 'tard in this game!"

Ahh cool, thanks for clearing that up for me. Wouldn't it have totally rocked if the TGCD said TG on it instead though

? Anyway, PCEngineHell on these boards told me before that you can use each region's CD player on the other region's hardware dock. I would like to get some pictures of any mixes if anyone has the equipment and time

. Core Grafx + TGCD would look killer!

the only prob would be, that a "T" is difficult do show on a 7-segment display, same as well for the "G"

td741 · 11/09/2006, 10:18 AM

Well, the G would be a 6 without the middle segment.

The T would probably have the top segment and the segments down one side. Not ideal though.

Keranu · 11/09/2006, 05:20 PM

Whoops, I forgot about the T. I guess they could've made it "CD" instead.

Or "16".

Joe Redifer · 11/09/2006, 06:58 PM

Or maybe FU (when you try to run a game with the wrong card). Or BS (when there is a loading problem or a Sega CD game is inserted).

Keranu · 11/09/2006, 11:29 PM

Or BO for games that stink.

Dark Fact · 11/10/2006, 12:12 AM

So now we're on the subject of picturing people as their avatars?

Since you all put it that way:
-Keranu, I always thought you were a black dude with a red mohawk who just loves posting!
-PCEngineFX, I always thought you were a PCFX console that was trained to post in message boards.
-CrackTiger, I thought you were some game sprite stuck in a swirly time warp and had access to a laptop somehow!
