I love Švejk, but he looks different on the bottle plug I have...

9 for the idea
3 for the picture (looks more like Louis de Funes)

I used to love the Ghostbusters game, but I had the Apple II version, and the look of the game in Seb's avatar is inferior. Overall, I give it a 5/10.

Sebatianos

Well, I'd prefer the C64 avatar, but the theme of the week is Spectrum ZX games, that's why I had to use the inferior picture.
I'd love to get the PC Booter version of the game (if anyone knows where or how to get it - and no, I'm not looking for warez).

Back to the avatar above: I dislike the colors, but the idea is good 6/10.

Icewolf

Though I'm afarid of no one liking my avatar, I'll post since I LOVE :Brain: the Ghostbusters as well.

I like it, though I'd also prefer the C64 graphics. But I think the specific scene with the Marshmellow Man is great. Reminds me of the first time I got that far and I didn't have the trap to catch him, so I had to start over.... :cry:

It's got nothing to do with abandonware nor does it identify with the poster, but it's cute :Tom: and personal.

(Mine is a Spanish Dragoon from Sid Meier's Colonization--what is WTF? You're right Bobbin, I made it bigger. It's just that I use it in another ABW site where maximum avatar size is 32x32, and besides this corresponded to 1:1 scale. Keeping the pixelation is of course a desired effect.)

"Most Likely to Secede" is very funny. Who is that, Robert E. Lee? Jefferson Davis would make more sense, but it's still funny. The only problem is that it's too small for all of the text to be readable. 9/10.

I reckon that's going a bit too far. Scarecrows avatar is unique and it sais alot about his personality. Im still trying to work out exactly what it sais about him... but thats beside the point. I think its good.

Lets see... Not much in the way of colour, unless you like blue alot... but you are following the avatar thingy in blah x3...hmmm...

4 and 1/2 outa 10 better than nuttin :ok:

Rogue

Being unique avatar does not mean it is good. :)

7/10

Master MC
10-04-2006, 03:30 PM
I agree, it gives 'status', even though I don't have any.
Your picture is well suited, it is used in a nice contradicting way, with the 'doom' and the pink and cute hamster. But the overall effect is lost due to a lack of signature, or the avatar is too small.

so 7.5/10

Dont get it 3/10

It is sad that you havn't read 1984 by George Orwell, probably one of the greatest books of the last century.

For those of you youngsters who can only relate to big brother as the TV show (the name of which is also based on the book):

Outside, even through the shut window pane, the world looked cold. Down in the street little eddies of wind were whirling dust and torn paper into spirals, and though the sun was shining and the sky a harsh blue, there seemed to be no color in anything except the posters that were plastered everywhere."
The year is 1984; the scene is London, largest population center of Airstrip One.

Airstrip One is part of the vast political entity Oceania, which is eternally at war with one of two other vast entities, Eurasia and Eastasia. At any moment, depending upon current alignments, all existing records show either that Oceania has always been at war with Eurasia and allied with Eastasia, or that it has always been at war with Eastasia and allied with Eurasia. Winston Smith knows this, because his work at the Ministry of Truth involves the constant "correction" of such records. "'Who controls the past,' ran the Party slogan, 'controls the future: who controls the present controls the past.'"

In a grim city and a terrifying country, where Big Brother is always Watching You and the Thought Police can practically read your mind, Winston is a man in grave danger for the simple reason that his memory still functions. He knows the Party's official image of the world is a fluid fiction. He knows the Party controls the people by feeding them lies and narrowing their imaginations through a process of bewilderment and brutalization that alienates each individual from his fellows and deprives him of every liberating human pursuit from reasoned inquiry to sexual passion. Drawn into a forbidden love affair, Winston finds the courage to join a secret revolutionary organization called The Brotherhood, dedicated to the destruction of the Party. Together with his beloved Julia, he hazards his life in a deadly match against the powers that be.

Newspeak, doublethink, thoughtcrime--in 1984, George Orwell created a whole vocabulary of words concerning totalitarian control that have since passed into our common vocabulary. More importantly, he has portrayed a chillingly credible dystopia. In our deeply anxious world, the seeds of unthinking conformity are everywhere in evidence; and Big Brother is always looking for his chance.

It's cool and could perfectly be BP's own face. As a matter of fact, should I meet BP and find his not being a psycho-staring robot, I'd say, "Who are you and what have you done to the *real* BP?" LOL

Okay, people didn't recognize any shape in my previous avatar so I've changed it. I like pixelation, it's abandonish, but an avatar which means nothing to most people is not right. By the way my previous post was from Colonization by Sid Meier (the same guy who made Civilization), a cavalry soldier it was (a dragoon, Spanish into the bargain). This current avatar is from the same game, so how do you like it?

Yes... I liked my old avatar very much, conceptually maybe even better than this one.

^ A cannibalistic space chicken? A little bland, so 5/10.
