Tell us on this thread how did you get your avatar and why you choose it.

For me, i love warhammer 40k, even if i don't have the models. I especiily love Admech due to the TITANS, which are 1-2km tall robots used in war. Plus it related to me a bit because i love machines and stuff. Plus the picture is nice.

Game Forums.
People selling avatars for the games currency.
Being a rich player, I just asked for something that came to their heads from 'Wartower9', and I paid them after.

For those wondering, it was Kingdom of Loathing. Not a popular game, but a great one.

My favorite pokemon is umbreon. I just found a picture that looked cool and used it. Before it had been dragons.

I took the face from my 7st Sky Corps clone skin I made.

I really like the Touhou Project series, and one day I was looking for some cool avatars of some characters I liked. This one happens to be the one I like the most. That's pretty much it. ^_^

I took the default face from the MC forums and made it color correct. :3

Basically, I love the Legend of Zelda series, and I played and greatly enjoyed LoZ: Skyward Sword. I thought the main villain of that game, Ghirahim, was really cool. I Google-imaged him and found this picture, which I thought was hilarious. So I made it my avatar. The end.

Mah skin. 'Nuff said.

EDIT: I have variations of my avatar for my variations of skins (normal, Halloween, Christmas)

He is creepy. Every time I see your skin I remember my first fight against him.
(Haven't beaten the game yet so no spoilers please)

I thought of how useful sticks are.

I agree. Sticks are 1/3 of a diamond sword, and a 1/5 of a diamond pick. Sticks are one the most useful items in the game. Who needs Diamonds hen you've got sticks?

You have no nose. And no mouth.
Sounds like a pretty cool face.

Changed my avatar.
Reason being I was using 12w18a, which included something we weren't suppose to have, a camera feature. I zoomed in too far when I took the picture.

...you ram food into your eyeballs and perform osmosis?

edit; also since I stopped being lazy and gave myself an avatar on these forums, the little happy bouncing lizard was just a gift I saw while reading Starbound's site blog thingy. It was too adorable, so I use it whenever I can't use my preferred avatar: How did you get your avatar? OOsGB

Which is a story in itself... Basically, it's an image of a statue of a wizard from a webcomic wearing anime shades and possessing giant, wiggly eyebrows which are suggesting... something. No idea what.

(also one day I will have a beard like that, I swear to gourd.)

Google imaged creeper. Then picked a picture. Very exciting story. Then posted this on a 5 month dead thread just for the lolz.
