Explain your username/avatar.

[Dr. Pepper Unlimited]

Avatar - Dr. Pepper because it is my favorite drink. Delicious!

User Name - Dr. Pepper Unlimited is my gamer tag handle for every game I play. If it's too long, I just go by 'Dr. Pepper'

 

[BENZOOKA]

Username: benzooka

I had the username Ben Bazooka before. I did have that one for years, around many different places. I grew a bit tired of it and I thought to shorten it to benzooka. As for where the origins come from: my name isn't even anymore near Ben, Benjamin or any of that. I just like that name, the main reason probably being the character Ben from the anime Ginga Nagareboshi: Gin, which I loved as a little kid. It's about dogs fighting bears after all.

Bazooka comes from my likeness of guns although I don't prefer bazookas all that much. I was looking for an alliteration and that was a word to first come to mind. Too bad there seems to be a StarCraft II player, with bunch of matches in YouTube alone, also with the nick benzooka. And there are others too. I'd prefer it to be more unique. Now I've actually come up with another username, that I use in few other places. And then of course there's my real-life nickname that's very unique, but for some reason I don't use it online, except for couple accounts where the name doesn't matter that much.

I think I did that one a couple months ago. I've used Photoshop since 2004 so I'm quite comfortable playing with it. I was just bored and thought of making an avatar. One that would have my own face. After a bit of playing around, I got a hold of an idea like this. I also wanted to make it animated, but I couldn't decide the color it would use. I've barely done animated *.gif:s before so that was another reason to hone those skills.

Then I thought of making it change color in a rather smooth way, thought of how to execute that, and did it. It took me about an hour and a half. First doing something completely different and in the end, battling with compression settings.

 

[Bender Rodriguez]

As I'm a huge Futurama fan you can probably figure it out yourself.

Bender Bending Rodriguez is his name, i went with the slightly shorter alternative.

Avatar: I put on sunglasses and folded my arms in an ultimate show of attitude. What else is there to say?

Username: I like beer. I like alcohol. I like strong drinks. Tactical Nuclear Penguin.

Avatar: Do I really need to explain? Its a hot girl blowing a soap smoke bubble.

Yeah, ya know, that actually sounds pretty legit.

 

[NeedAUserName]

Username: The exact origins of my username have long since escaped my memory.
Avatar: It was originally just a little .gif I picked up during the DDKR, then I had flames added during Hallowe'en by the Holiday Council, and I've stuck with it since then.

 

[oden636]

Miss spelled the Norse god Odin when i was younger on puzzle pirates. Kept it ever since. 636 is just the last 3 digits on my old mobile phone. The Avatar is what came to hand when i needed a small picture.

 

[AngryLawnNinja]

USERNAME: Originally my username was an Xbox Live gamertag I came up with to replace my old one, which was kind of random and in the moment and apparantly confusing for some people.
(It was WILLKILL0, an a mixture of my last name Williams and cute rime...oh and a zero)
I wanted to simply be known as Lawn Ninja, but that was taken, hence the AngryLawnNinja was born. (This name is actually an homage to one of my favorite playstation 2 game series, and unfortunately switching over to Xbox has rendered me unable to play the latest installments.

AVATAR: Deidara is the bomb(er). And a ninja who gets angry alot. And hides in bushes.

 

[NomNom The World]

Well 'nomnom' refers to eating, and 'the world', plus the CSM avatar...

Chaos World Eaters.

 

[Joshroom]

Username: An archaic nickname of mine that somehow has stuck in my brain and thus has become my go to username

Avatar: Nothing packs more power, badassry and cuteness all in one form than a moogle black mage. He represents my raging spirit! And small stature of course.

 

[Shade184]

Name: "Shade" was the nickname of a friend in high school. I can't remember why, I think it was a video game reference. He was in year 12, I was in year 8. When he graduated, people who knew him and remembered me started calling me Shade-two, and then eventually just Shade.

184 was the number at the end of my automatic school login. I'll never forget those numbers, so I put 'em somewhere I'd use 'em.

Avatar: I found my avatar lying somewhere around on the internets, and claimed it as my own.

 

[benwins]

Username - Benwins. Because I like to think I win, although I often dont.

Avatar - Its my 360 gamer picture, because I lack imagination.

 

[ShakyFiend]

Username
Story behind this, I needed a gamertag and had never really had a permanent username for anything before, couldn't decide on one and took ages, so in the end I hit 'generate random' closed my eyes hit A and this is what I got. Now I use it for everything.

Death of Rats, the full piece of art is actually pretty awesome:
