Me through the Ages

Posted by DesertFox on June 26, 2009, 11:52 p.m.

Lets take a look at my avatar and how it has changed through the ages, shall we?

Lets start.

This was my first avatar ever on 64D. Yes. It is in fact a martini, with eyeballs instead of olives. So disturbing…

Later when I made a game, I made an avatar in order to advertise it. I look back at that game and think 'wow, I do so much better work now' but hey, it was my first real game. I was such a newb back then.

Next came this. Look familiar? There's a similar badge somewhere (wink wink)… It was my avatar for only a short while, because it was soon replaced by this:

I am just that awesome. Someone made that for me, and I was quite happy.

This is one that many older members will remember. It sparked a fad of 'walk by and display name' type avatars. Functional, and simple, it stayed up for quite some time, and remains one of my favorites.

After the previous one was up for a while, I made this. Probably some of my first pixelwork.

This avatar was next. The odd white symbols are supposed to represent teeth or fangs. They never did look the way I imagined them to, as everyone was always asking 'whats the white things?'

Its another avatar that someone made me. It looks so damn huggable. EDIT: It was obel that made it :3

Soon I was off to another avatar. Its…. PYONG! I had a bajillion animated gifs, and made one into an avatar. Then…

Someone started a fad of surprised avatars. So I joined in. This was also probably one of my longer-running avatars.

Edit: Here's one that I missed! One of my first attempts ever at actually drawing something! It came out well! I totally stole the shape of the head from somewhere, can't remember though.

Then I got to feeling mysterious. The mysterious mysteries of mysteriousness.

When I got done feeling mysterious, I watched Indiana Jones, and ended up with this avatar, grabbed from some webcomic involving stuffed animals killing each other (mostly because of an evil overlord gerbil turning everyone into zombies). I think this was my avatar during the Great 2008 Crash of 64D.

These, of course were from the end of last year, and Christmas. 64D was up and running again for the first time in forever, and we all celebrated with Christmas-hat avatars. Unfortunately, then the server got moved, and although it was 'technically up' 64D was unavailable for several more months. So I was with a Christmas avatar until what, March?

Then this was my avatar for a few months. In fact, until just this week. It'd been my MSN avatar for a lot longer, so you probably saw it there first.

Which brings us to the present. Yep. That was a lot of avatars.

I probably missed a few, and I can't remember which because they are no longer in my file manager. Does anyone remember those old avatar fads? I wish I could remember :(

I've been on 64D for a looooooong time. You know what? If you've been here for a while, you should make one too.

I have a name, you bastard.

Being a Zelda freak, I still like this one the best.

I remember all the avatars past the Mario V. Desertfox one. Except your second to last, I missed that one.

Anyways, I just remembered the Cat Copter mini-fad. I'm sure you weren't a part of it, though. :P
