Man, all of you people's avatars suck. Ther all like "well, I like anime, so I took a picture of anime and put it on my profile herp derp" You peeps need to be more creative! You need an avatar that express your personality! One that has a deep, inner meaning!

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:

Nah, even if I didn't like it (I do like my avatar) I like to keep the same avatar all the time, so that people will be able to recognize me at a glance. I appreciate people who keep the same avatar, so I can know who it is at a glance, since I remember avatars better than user names, so I try to do the same thing.

I can make mine deep. I like comedies more than any other genre of film or TV, except war films, so I could say that Link is laughing at a hilarious episode of Freakazoid, just like I do.

There. Deep.

About 99% sure he was being sarcastic. His name is BlackDS, and his avatar is a BlackDS.

Mr.White is my username for just about everything. It is a reference to Reservoir Dogs.
My avatar is a screenshot from Contra III. Contra III was the game that got me into retro collecting and it is also probably my favorite game. Seeing that picture the first time I played the game with the level complete music was amazing.

I've been on a Radiant Silvergun/Ikaruga kick for a while now. After watching some youtube videos and seeing people just absolutely master these games, I wanted to reach these levels of mastery. Though I may change it to the new Challenger R/T I bought a couple months ago. I been modding it like crazy and looks and runs awesome and feels like its finally mine.

Shuma-Gorath was a good character in the Capcom fighters and Merz has been my handle for everything in the past 5 years. It's a made up word that comes from the name of the Russian bank "Kommerzbank". It was made by the artist Kurt Schwitters.

I'm a rabid St. Louis Cardinals fan, and I love the rich history of the franchise. To mark the start of baseball season I just changed my avatar to a pic of Stan Musial, one of the greatest ever to play the game.
