Best Avatars

[gralin musicteeth]

And gralin's amuses me. Campbell's soup shall rule the world someday! We'd better bow down to it whilst we yet hold on to our lives.

sorry elronds_daughter, i had to kill the soup. but thanks for mentioning me on this thread! i'm so happy. this is the first time ever.

Also I'd like to mention Durelin's avatar. Looks kind of like an Amy Brown drawing.

I miss the old Nintendo, Zela was the only thing I could play some what decently. Plus, Link made such wonderful action noises when you cut down the tall grass... "Shooosh! Swwwwipe!" Ah, it was fun.

I have to say that the tone of Meela's new avatar is quiet wonderful, everything seems to flow into place and out again. Either that or you're hair is wonderful. Mine if I ask what shampoo you use?

Blast! Oh, well, you're welcome. And I like your current one. Only I haven't the faintest idea what it's supposed to be.

And JennyHallu's is defnitely very cool...

[JennyHallu]

yay! I got mentioned...Thank you, elronds_daughter!!! I feel cool! It's better full-size, so I'm really glad someone thinks it still looks pretty cool shrunk.

I like Mormegil's avvy...it makes me giggle.

It's two sock puppets. I have avatar ADD, by the way. Don't get too attached to my sock puppets (named Harold and Gerald), for they too, will bite the dust.

And since this is the best avatars thread, I must name a new favourite av of mine...hmmmmm... I like the one with the cat in the bathing suit. It blows my mind.

Medical shampoo, I have sensitive scalp... so not that glamorous. But I use Herbal Essence conditioner, same as Legolas. So I guess if it works for him, it works for me!

I just noticed how pretty the colors are on your avatar. Very nice!

Oh, I agree upon Herbal Essence! It works wonders, especially the rose hips and Jojo Ba oil. Good choice Mademoiselle!

Thank you for the compliment, I enjoy the colours as well.

Just noticed Malkatoj's - Hip hip, ZOOMBINIIIIIIIIII!

I still like to play that game. *cough*

It brings back fond memories of getting hundreds of Zoombinis to Campfire Rock and etc., and the computer crashing. Repeatedly. Okay. So maybe the memories aren't so fond. Maybe I'm just thinking about how the propellor-bottomed pigtailed green-nosed alert-eyes never get past the first Sneezing Cliff.

I just saw gralin musicteeth's as well - a bowl of green jello. How perfect. Green. It matches the forum!

[Shelob]

For Malkatoj I'll thank you Oddwen. I recently found my (ancient) copy of the game and made the mistake of telling my friends, now we're all in the middle of a huge Zoombini craze...if you want a zoombini avatar yourself just let me know, they're really quick to make.

[Gil-Galad]

Shelob's avvie looks so familiar... reminds me of a game i played in Elementary

[Rune Son of Bjarne]

I am not that fond of the penguin one's new avy, because it is not a penguin (or winnie the pooh).

Why did you do it ?

I remember Zoombini's! Oh they were so much fun, especially the mud and paint part... Kept my childhood mind so entertained.
Lovely avatar dear, I enjoy it!

[malkatoj]

Aren't they fun? Yes, thank you Shelob for making the avvie for me. My copy of the game won't work because I don't have the right Quicktime, and when I try to download and install Quicktime (2.1) it gets mad at me...

[dancing spawn of ungoliant]

1. After recovering from the initial shock caused by Hookbill changing his avatar, I must say that I like the new Mt. Zoom one very much.

2. Lommy's avatar is just wonderful. It's kind of hypnotising - makes me want to stare at it every time I come across her posts.

[Orominuialwen]

I am quite a fan of gralin's bowl of green jello and malkatoj's Zoombini. Oh, how I love that game! It makes it much easier if you make all of the Zoombinis sets of identical twins

[Sleepy Ranger]

I wonder if anyone can guess which video-game my little friend is from...
Just a note if we do have any gamers other than myself and CoD here, its from the awesomest RPG ever.

Morrowind then? No, wait...Oblivion...yes, that's it.

Well, it can't be either of those, since neither promotes the large 'anime-hair' of your avatar. Hmm...I'd say Final Fantasy Insert Whatever Number Floats Your Boat Here, since I tend to shy away from all the other 'anime-styled' RPGs.

[Glirdan]

I'd say Final Fantasy Insert Whatever Number Floats Your Boat Here

That was the first thing that came to my mind as well. I can't wait for the next Final Fantasy movie to come out!! Uh oh!! Off topic! Anyway, I'm going to say Final Fantasy either 8 or something under 7. So, are we right Sleepy??

[Gurthang]

I agree, Glirdan. I've only ever played through II, which was pretty fun. I'd guess either 8 or 10, just because I've heard those were the two best in the series.

By the way, Shelob and malk's avatars of Zoombinis are amazing! I loved that game... "Fleens? You're not Fleens! Please, whatever you are, make me a pizza!" Good times.

It's interesting how many avatars featuring video games are popping up. Gil, malk, Shelob, Sleepy, Morsul (I think), and CoD. I might have to find and break out a Link picture for mine (not just to copy Gil, of course ).

[Glirdan]

Great!! Now I'm catching the game avvie bug!! I'm going to go get one of my Final Fantasy 9 pictures. GO FINAL FANTASY!!

[Sleepy Ranger]

Well its not Final Fantasy. Final Fantasy is definately *not* the best. CoD, think Sega Genisis. SF! Guess it now, it had two games and a re-make is coming out this summer.

I won't know, then. I only ever played the NES and SNES as a child. Though, the avatar (which is a nice piece of art, despite the style) reminds me much of Phantasy Star, for some reason. Could it be that?

close but no cigar

[Gil-Galad]

its either Kingdom Hearts or Golden Sun

[Sleepy Ranger]

Neither was on the Genesis and though they were awesome RPGs in their own rights they still can't touch this one. Come on, the game even had a cheat code that made it onto the list of 'Top 10 Cheats Ever' at number 8.

[Gil-Galad]

it looks like Isaac from Golden Sun


you know what one of the best RPG's is, Chrono Trigger, i absolutely love that game

[Thinlómien]

Have you noticed how your image of a 'downer changes with his/her avvie?

Take Sleepy for example. (I hope you don't mind, Sleepy.)
When he had the Obi-wan avvie I thought he was charismatic and sympathic.
When he had the ?-avvie (which he had next) I thought he was a bit arrogant and unpredictable.
When he had the actor (whoever it was) avvie, I thought he was difficultly approachable and a bit absent.
With the recent avvie, it makes me think about him as a relaxed, easy-going, nice and thoughtful, but a bit teeny.
Really, that's strange. But I think I now wityh all this experience begin to see the guy behind many avvies...

[Sleepy Ranger]

Most of it is true Thinlo and it was an honor to be used as an example by you!

Anyway, the game my avatar is from is Shining Force 2. Hes the main character.

Thanks for yourself for being the clearest example!

Actually I quite like that avvie, though I usually don't like anything anime-ish or videogame-ish. (And now I will be stoned to death because I said this... )

[Valier]

Lommy, I love your new avie but what are they? Kinda creepy if you ask me, but then again noone did ask me....

[Farael]

Darned, why didn't I check this thread earlier? SF2 is probably the best (and most addictive) game ever!! Joy of joys when I finally managed to win it! (just a couple months ago) but then, as with any good game, it was kinda sad that I would not play it any longer.

Back on topic... I think the only avvie that's helping me cope with the loss of Valier's dancing kitten is Thinlómien's... thing. I have seen that before yet I can't figure out where. Still, pretty fun, it makes me think of a pack of werewolves... and for some reason (WW anyone?) that's a good thing.

[Valier]

Ok ..Ok ..I know I missed my Kitty too!!! I agree with Farael, Lommy your avie does look familiar. Where is it from?

[Thinlómien]

Nice that you like my avvie.

It's from avatarity.com - aren't most of the 'downers avvies from there?

I don't think it's very comforting to hear that your avvie reminds people of ww's - especially if you're playing in a ww game. ("Luckily" I was killed on Night 2...)

[Farael]

Thinlómien, you are my new hero.... look, it's me, Mario!! =D=D I had no idea that place even existed... and I was far too lazy to re-size my Moose avatar.

Edit: 500th post!! =D

[Lush]

I LOVE Orominuialwen's creation! Major props!

[Kitanna]

Lush's is very pretty. I am quite jealous of it.

And Farael's brings back memories. Oh so many times I died with that Mario.

[Oddwen]

I like Thinny's new avvie - little hopping demons. It reminds me slightly of Maurice Sendak's "Where the Wild Things Are".

[Elu Ancalime]

I PMed Farel that I thought his avatar was pretty cool. He told me he got the site from Lommy, so, thanks! I think ill pick up the Argonath avatar...

Have you noticed how your image of a 'downer changes with his/her avvie?

Yes! An avatar seems to be my first image of a person besides their name, and maybe an illustration of their personality or something.

Definitly! Though Oddwen forever remains a robot lightbulb...

[Glirdan]

You took the words right out of my mouth Eonwe. Kitanna will always be that cute little puppy, Eomer will always be Snoopy and Folwren will always be that falcon. And I cannot forget Enca and her pirate!! Those five will always be linked to those avvies in my mind.
