C'mon guys, you must've saw this one coming. ;D

So, what's your avatar? Does it have any special meaning?

I'll go first. My current avatar is Faramir from LOTR. He was awesome in TTT movie and he's even cooler in the ROTK book, which I'm currently reading.

So how about you? :)

I have  always liked the tie interceptor since I was a kid. I found this image on a tie costume site a while ago and had it over at scum. Dale helped get it to fit here and basically thats the whole story

Well my Dancing R2 I found searching the net. I was really attracted to it by it's dancing motion. He's a happy droid.
There are others that dance too. Luke, Leia, C-3PO & Paploo. R2 seems to be popular over at RS too.   8)
Your Welcome Wayne.  ;)

Well, I think we have a laundry list of topics to attribute this mass exodus from RS to. I mean, I want to have fun, and not have to go and edit threads for misspellings, for the sake of being flamed.

Rebelscum, I don't know. It's like a permanent Spring Break, a Capital Hill meeting, a religious debate team,
and Grammer class, all rolled up into one big, ugly burrito..
dipped in rotting guacamole.

I tried GH, and it's a nice site, and informative, but it's a little slow? Not to mention, a GH/DSP merger is imminant.
Theres alot of migration there.

I'm looking forward to making this my home.  ;D

Sorry for the temporary hijack, as you were!

Secondly =>
My avatar is a clip from the stunningly beautiful Star Wars Tales #14(?), entitled Apocalypse Endor... I fell in love with the comic's cover, and so I bought it and framed it on the same night. It now sits beside my computer in all of its glory...

Thanks to all of you guys for checking us out, I don't want to bad mouth Galactic Hunter too much cause I still like the site very much but its largest problem is that hardly any of the long time members collect anything any more, they're there just to socialize really.

RS is a lost cause. I, and everyone here excited about our future and we welcome you all to the site with open arms :)

Now my avatar...the most imfamous background character in Star Wars history needs no introduction...and he will be made in 3 3/4" Action Figure form someday :)
Title: Re: Your Avatar...
Post by: JediMAC on March 22, 2003, 11:02 PM
When I first started out at RS a year ago, I wanted an avatar that at least stood out a little bit more than the rest, since it was such a huge crowd over there ("only" 2,874 at the time), so I went with their avatar of the Imperial Royal Guard figure, which was a nice bright and noticeable red color.

Well, when I migrated over here several months back, I wanted to stick with the same character since that's what I was known for, and Chris had a WAY cooler looking Imperial Royal Guard here at JD, so I went with this one instead.  Looks kinda menacing, I think...

Mike, where'd your customary Biker Scout zipping through the trees go?  Get tired of that one?

As for the other collecting sites out there, well, I think that every site has it's pros and cons, as do we, but I definitely have no ill will towards any of them at all.  Though I'll still pop into a couple of the others from time to time, I prefer to hang my hat here as well since it feels the most personal, and I really feel like I'm building friendships here, beyond just talking Star Wars, and that's important to me.  I also really like that we've got some of the most knowlegeable and insightful collectors out there, who really like to "talk shop" about our favorite hobby...

Without ewoks, there may have been a problem bringing that shield down on Endor.  Until, of course, my fellow Dresselians succeeded.  But the extra time that would have taken may have meant curtains for the Rebel Fleet against those Star Destroyers and Death Star.

This one needs a big bump.  Mine was a custom made by the good folks over at snowtroopers.ca.  I used to give the mods a hard time over there, so they dubbed me the "grumpy snowtrooper".  Take Grumpy, give him a lightsaber (red, of course) and here I am.

Post by: Carrie M on June 19, 2003, 03:27 PM
My avatar is from the movie Carrie. I grew up watching horror movies, and this one actually scared me a bit, only for the fact that I thought that because I shared a name with the character, I would surely meet the same fate in life. Well, hasn't happened yet, and I made it through high school without killing a whole bunch of people (barely), so that's a good thing. Regardless, the image of Spacek in front of the flames, covered in pig's blood, is such a striking and memorable one, that I thought it suited me perfectly. Plus, I'm a horror freak, so, it's natural that I should choose an avatar that reflects that.

CC...did you just copy and paste that from Rebelscum? Hehehe. I always feel conflicted about whether or not I should answer questions here that are also over there (like this thread). I had the same dilemma over at GH.

I figure most everyone is reading both threads anyway.  

But for those of you that didn't see the other thread....mine is just a picture of my collection. I used to update these weekly, and I may start doing that again one of these days. I'm thinking I need a picture of my battle droid army. It's growing to gigantic proportions.

Took this one off Rebelscum and made the blue BG black.  Zuckuss (or 4-LOM if you prefer) is my favorite looking Star Wars character. Just a bad ass bounty hunter who isn't over hyped Boba Fett (although Boba comes in a close second). 20 seconds of screen time and IMO stole the scene just by looking so odd.
Title: Re: Re: Your Avatar...
Post by: dustrho on June 24, 2003, 12:27 AM
20 seconds of screen time and IMO stole the scene just by looking so odd.

He definitely looked odd... very much different than all the rest of the bounty hunters.  Too bad him, IG-88, 4-LOM, Bossk and Dengar didn't have much more air-time like Boba Fett did.

But I think that's what makes that group of bounty hunters so popular. I used to be a big Boba fan boy, but then Lucas over did his story and did away with his cool mystery. With the others all you get is a few seconds look and have to use your imagination the rest of the way.

Here at JD.com, I currently suffer from avatar-ADD, which manifests itself by causing me to constantly change my avatars.  They usually only last a week or two, then it's time for a change.  That way, I get to show-off my mad avatar photoshop skillz.   :P

Over at Scum, my avatar is a vintage DS Commander.  I figured it was appropriate since all scum posters are pretty much under the control of the Grand Emperor and his henchmen.  [Triumph: I Keeeeeed!]

That said, I've always used a Royal Guard as my avatar, just 'cause they look so cool, and the red tends to make it stand out a little more from the rest.  When I migrated over here to JD, I noticed they had a far cooler, and much more menacing looking Royal Guard avatar here, so that's what I've been everywhere ever since...  Just wish I didn't have to share it with others!   :P

Brent, I've always loved yours.  Perfect for a grumpy old-fart, potty-mouth like yourself.   :P   :-*

Rob already tried this - and it sucked then, too.

Indeed it did ;D

EDIT: now that I have posted and can see what my avatar is, I remember that I chose it because “white noise” reflects both the infrequency and minimal quality of my posts here at JD ;)

Well, I was thinking more along the lines of this guy:

(http://www.s-t.com/daily/11-96/11-23-96/cuomo.jpg)

Anyone hook me up?

(Semi-related, not-interesting side note:  A few weeks ago, I ordered the Saved By the Bell: Seasons 1 & 2 DVD from Deep Discount.  Guilty pleasure, they had it on sale, so what.  Well, damned if they didn't send me Seasons 3 & 4 instead (which I also wanted, and was more expensive than 1 & 2).  

So now, I've still got 3 & 4, not knowing what to do about it.  Part of me wants to keep it, but the other part--that pesky "conscience" thing--tells me that I need to send it back.  I'm the type of guy who takes the cellophane off his DVDs like, in the parking lot, on the way back to the car, but there 3 & 4 sits, still wrapped up, brand new.  And I still haven't marked 3 & 4 off my want list, either.

What else is ******* my order status at DDD--they still have it listed as an "open" order.  They know they f--ked up, but they haven't contacted me, and I haven't contacted them.

I have no moral backbone.)

Your dilemma reminds me of the classic episode when Jesse had a horrible caffeine pill addiction.

Unfortunately, there's no "Zack" to tell you that you've got to fight the urge, and dammit.....send those DVDs back. So I'll step in. Think of me as your moral Screech.

The problem is not going to solve itself. You must send them back.  :)

Post by: SilverZ on June 28, 2004, 01:32 AM
This reminds me of the time a friend and I went into a used game store, many years ago. We'd go there whenever we needed cheap NES games, which were usually 5 bucks.  

On day I spotted a Tengen Tetris sitting on the shelf (this is back in the day when it was super-hard to find one, and when you did, they were bucks), and asked the clerk how much it is. Being not that bright, and not the owner, he goes into the back and asks. When he returns, he tells me it's 9.99. Sold, I say. I pay, we leave, passing the owner coming in as we are going out.

As we get into my car, in a panic pace of run comes the clerk, who knocks on the window of my engine-on and in-reverse car. My instinct... go! Go fast! My friend, he simply says, "Dude, if we go we can't come back for cheap NES games."

So I go back in and hear the guy's explaination of the mix-up and the wrong price. I give the thing back. All in the name of the moral high ground, and future cheap games.

Then, after all that, we never went back there. Ever. It's only known as the place of the 10 dollar Tengen Tetris... that I gave back.

Even funnier, we would have gone back, and bought many more games, out of both guilt and the giddy pleasure we had that day for getting something for a bargain. They would have had a lot more business in the long run.

Keep the damn discs, says I, man of questionable moral judgement.
Title: Re: Why did you select your avatar?
Post by: Matt on June 28, 2004, 01:48 AM
See, this is my problem:

Part of me says that, much like Quaker-brand Oatmeal, sending the discs back would be the right thing to do.

But the other part says "f--k 'em, keep the DVDs."  

I think I know what's gonna happen--I'm going to keep them forever, but never break the plastic, and never watch them, and ride the fence of moral ambiguity until the day I die.

Either that, or take 'em to Wal-Mart for store credit when the OTC stuff starts showing up.

Still have the full-size?  PM it to me if you do, huh?  Thanks.

Since I've already contributed to this thread about my avatar, I won't mention it again.  But I will say something about avatars in general:

It's somewhat annoying and confusing to see several different people have the same avatar.  I'm thinking specifically of two examples--JediMAC's ubiquitous Royal Guard, and Scott's ICMG.

Especially with the Royal Guard--it's so unmistakably Colman, it just throws me off whenever I'm scanning through a thread and see it, only to find out that it's someone else's post.

I think it oughta be that once someone snags an avatar, nobody else can use it until the original person gives it up again.

Yeah, I wasn't thinking that would be something that would actually be possible--it was more of a "wouldn't it be nice"-type of thing.

And you think that the whole duplicate avatar thing would be something that would kind of take care of itself--after all, why would anybody want to have the same exact thing as someone else?

(http://img.villagephotos.com/p/2002-1/7321/image.gif)

that's more disturbing at thrice the size.....

just to contribute to the subject, I chose my avatar partially due to the New Jersey Devils being one of my favorite hockey teams and they just have a cool ass logo. As my first name is Jason, I took the N out of the logo to leave an evil J as my avatar. I have thought in the past of getting that as a tattoo, but I've not gone thru with it as of yet,.

I started using my avatar about a year and a half ago when I became part of the 400th Missile Squadron.  The picture is a shot of the 10 RV's coming into the range in the Pacific from a test firing of a Peacekeeper from Vandenberg AFB.

The 400th MS is my first operational assignment as a commissioned officer in the AF, and the 400th is standing down in October of this year due to a treaty with the Russians.

I thought having the Avatar would be an intersting tribute.

The current avatar (very nicely supplied by Jared) is from a photo in "The Making of ROTS" book.  ILM had sent the Episode I Yoda puppet to Shepperton Studios in England for eye-line use during the ROTS reshoots.  When the Yoda puppet was removed from his packing materials, he had this demented look on his face due to the breakdown of the silicon materials.  Here's the excerpt from the book (available at all fine booksellers near you):

Quote
Because of budget constraints, the Jedi Council chamber is being shot in sections.  The first group of five chairs is placed on their marks and Yoda is unwrapped-to reveal a truly deranged version of himself-which will be used only for camera reference and eye lines.

"Have you seen Yoda's expression?" Knoll asks Lucas.  "It's priceless."

"Somebody has to get a photo of that," Lucas agrees, and Knoll adds, "Something's definitely wrong with the universe."

The thing that makes the photo even funnier is the look on Sam Jackson's face.  Yoda is sitting in a chair, and there's Sam in full Mace Windu regalia next to him, giving him this "WTF?" look out of the corner of his eye.  :D

Short version, Yoda looked so demented it made me laugh like I was demented.  Hence my selection of the avatar. :)

The thing that makes the photo even funnier is the look on Sam Jackson's face.  Yoda is sitting in a chair, and there's Sam in full Mace Windu regalia next to him, giving him this "WTF?" look out of the corner of his eye.  :D

Short version, Yoda looked so demented it made me laugh like I was demented.  Hence my selection of the avatar. :)

I don't have one to the full photo (I just saw it in the book and I think Jared scanned/cropped it for my avatar directly from that), but maybe someone else does.  Sorry.  :-\

It's Ed Vedder with a mohawk.

I've used this avatar often. I just like Ed's expression.

In light of recent events, I figured this avitar was needed.

It's a capture of a piece of Artwork I own, done by Andrea Preville. She's a local artist and a friend of mine. I commisioned the art to be done of a comic book cover and she captured its likness 100%.

She's done me some Star Wars themed art as well.

I LOVE Venom.

Time to give "Kubrick Han" a break and use something new for a while...

Mine of course is the Cleaner from Toy Story 2. He's the only representation I've ever seen of a toy customizier. "It's for display only!"

Wow, super old thread!!

My avatar is a tribute to my time in the military.  I've got another avatar on another board I'd rather use, but it's too big to use here.  That one has two crossed M4's behind the skull with the beret.  So this one is just a variation of that.
