I never looked at it that closely so I thought it was some sort of video game alien picture. Now that you mentioned what it is, I now get it.
:oops: I thought the same thing.

Maybe I do need that camera, maybe I can use this to con the wife into letting me buy one. :D

I don't wanna side track the thread any other AVATAR stories?

I knew it was an engine too - looked pretty clear to me.

Also, I KNOW we've had this discussion many other times so I am not going to chime in with my explanation again this time. You'll have to go find it if you want to know anything about by username or avatar!

MrHealthy comes from when I met the gang of Mega64. Shawn Chatfield decided to draw on my arm a little carrot man and he named him MrHealthy, so thats been my name ever since.

And my Avatar is just cause Samus is my favourite character from video games.

Pretty likely since I just deleted a couple markers without paying too much attention. Sorry about that.

My username is from a joke I have with my brother, it has no signifigance really. I just like to use it because I made it up, and so there isn't anyone else using, allowing me to have the same username everywhere, since nobady else will be using it.
My avatar I chose because I wanted one, and I was hard up for one. I just hunted around the My Pictures folder until I found it, and decided to use it. I always found the CDi LoZ games to be hilariously bad, so I chose it. I didn't choose it because I like Nintendo best, I actually like Microsoft (Xbox, Windows, DOS) best.

I apologize in advance but I can't stand looking at your avatar. It's awful looking. Maybe one of us could find you a new, cool picture to use for a replacement? :idea:

My name is for a few reasons. My friends and I often use very proper titles, like Doctor and such. One time i was referred to as Professor Kris (being my first name), and since I was already a fan of Jet Grind and I own 2 DJ turntables and a soundboard, I began going by ProfessorK.

My avatar is because Sega Saturn is my favorite console of all time, Guardian Heroes is my favorite game on said system (a friend and I play through it almost weekly and have for 2 years now) and because I just really like Randy from GH.
