It's Ron Swanson's hair and moustashe. Why would that NOT be my avitar?
Quoted from drbond:Long time James Bond fan, and long time James Bond video game developer (worked on all of them except the Nintendo 64 version of World is Not Enough...nor the dreaded Nightfire game for PC).
drbond, that is sweet! The best first person shooter game ever!!! Goldeneye 007 for the N64. Nicely done sir...nicely done.
Quoted from jwwhite15:drbond, that is sweet! The best first person shooter game ever!!! Goldeneye 007 for the N64. Nicely done sir...nicely done.
Indeed, a lot of time spent playing that game in my youth. I distinctly remember taping up a cardboard screen divider to my Uncle's TV (to avoid screen watching, of course!). My Uncle got home from work and saw what my cousin's and I had done to his TV... "WHAT IN THE HELL!"
Quoted from gweempose:Mine is Amon, the main bad guy in Season 1 of "The Legend of Korra".
Cool one!
Mine is the logo of a non-existing company, Massive Dynamic, a "leading firm in science and technology research"
http://www.massivedynamic.com/
taken from the science fiction television series "Fringe".
We share the same initial... and interest for strange science.
Quoted from jlm33:... taken from the science fiction television series "Fringe".
One of my favorite shows. I'm just glad it was renewed for one final season.
Quoted from jlm33:Mine is the logo of a non-existing company, Massive Dynamic ...
Not to be confused with Veridian Dynamics, another fictional company from a great TV show ...
Quoted from VegasAlleycat:I am away from home for another 2-3 weeks, but will try to when I get back...
I love his stuff also. Between him and Bob Layton- they did some of my favorite Marvel work. Another favorite is George Perez. All have very clean styles which I really love.
That is awesome your wife is related. Love the Infinity Gauntlet stuff that him and Perez did. All time classic stuff.
The "...what's your screen name..." thread is alive again, so I'm bumping this thread.
Any Pinsiders care to share about their Pinside avatar that have not yet posted on this thread?
Quite a few Pinsiders have selected some great pics for their avatar.
Seems like quite a few new pinball fanatics on Pinside in the past few months, so bump this thread for them.
Ha ha, so I did change my avatar...
My current avatar is an adorable long haired Dachshund called Polly that we used to own about 15 years ago. She used to turn her he head like that when she thought it was "walkies" time.
Avatar changed in support for the "Chloe" thread a few days ago.
I am sure everyone here knows what my name stands for.
The picture I chose for my avatar is FSM better known as the Flying Spaghetti Monster.
It is a cropped parody of the Sistine chapel painting of God reaching out to touch Adams finger.
It is meant to poke fun at organized religion.....just because you cannot see the FSM does not mean he does not exist.
Please do not think into this too much as I do not need the drama that typically comes with my explanation.
Mine reflects my tenacious attempt to be Bad Ass and the ocular pat downs I perform on a daily basis.
I thought it was a picture of the worlds first pregnant man. JK
Quoted from centerflank:Mine reflects my tenacious attempt to be Bad Ass and the ocular pat downs I perform on a daily basis.
Mine's from my first pinball machine, Swords of Fury. I made it as an avatar for myself before I discovered this forum, even.
My current avatar is one of my favorite pieces of Alvin G memorabilia; a distributor's banner. I used it because I'm a huge fan of Alvin G machines....
I'm always looking for Alvin G stuff....machines, parts, memorabilia, etc., so please let me know if you have anything for sale. Thanks!

My avatar is George Washington.

Don't remember if I explained on this thread or not.
I like Pink Floyd. I like The Andy Griffith Show. The guy is Floyd the barber from that show. He was so weird he was cool. Tint his picture pink and you have Pink Floyd.
Mine's a picture of me jumping in front of a dinosaur. I chose it because I am awesome, as are dinosaurs.
Mine is my pins why the heck not lol. My name was thought up when I was a carpet cleaner and I used it as my Xbox live gamer tag. Then I started using it everywhere because it was not taken. DementedWarlok can be searched online and I will pop right up. Twitter Google+ anywhere.
I did an Ironman triathlon 2 months ago.....you know, Swim 2.4 miles, Bike 112 miles, Run 26.2 miles.....did it in 12 hours and 27 minutes...I am pretty happy with the accomplishment so I have the "M-Dot", which is the Ironman Logo.

Bragger...
You've given me motivation to switch to lite beer.
A t-shirt design I made for another forum. Most liked it but said their wives would not approve of them wearing...lol
My candlepin bowling alley in the gameroom.....something different to play when playing pinball gets too frustrating (go from one type of pins to the other)
Quoted from loppydog:Toejam & Earl...because it was the best Genesis game ever!
I'd give you "one of the best ever", but Michael Jackson's Moonwalker was the best Genesis game ever
Quoted from Marc:Bragger...

You know....when you train for events like this....you can eat and drink anything you want and not gain weight
A lot of people will probably recognize mine, but it's the Infinity Gauntlet from the immensely popular Marvel comic series of the same name. It was created by the mad titan Thanos and granted him limitless power. The gems represent power, space, time, reality, soul, and mind, respectively. There's also a Marvel Pinball table based on the series and it's my favorite.
