Poll: Do you people think I'm weird?

[ResonanceSD]

Well yes, but I quite like this one. Oddly enough, people still recognize me.

No one else has two GTX 580s

I think it's because you have a distinctive way of talking, like many here do. You can just see small things that make you look at the username then BAM it's ResonanceSD.

In my defence, I haven't referenced my hardware for at least a week, except for that one thread where that girl was like "AMD's GTX 580 wasn't even the best card of it's generation" and I'm like, *****, please.

My kinda guy, what cpu you running?

 

[martyrdrebel27]

So I've noticed that I appear to be the only person in the internet to have a real picture of me as my avatar... Am I weird? uncool? confident? scary?

Common, What gives?

EDIT

The 'No' answer should read "No, It's nice to put a face to the words" For some reason it wont let me edit it

hey, do you really need an eye-patch or is that pirate-chic?

 

[Evil Smurf]

Neh, though it isn't the safest thing unless your goal is to hide in plain sight.

Yea, I had my actual name as my user name untill I realised how to change it.

Only one who uses a picture of himself?
*ahem*

And a damn sexy picture if I do say so myself ^_^

If I'm gonna be talking to people, may as well do it face to face. Or as close to it as I can get on the internet anyway.

Inb4 @Matthew94 starts screaming at me.

an i7 2600K OC to 4.7 with Speedstep on (because I'm not an idiot).

I'm just going to hijack your post wholesale.

EDIT: Though looking at it now, it's about time I got a new picture. That one's really old, and that's not even what I normally looked like then.

Nope just braver than the rest of us

I'll keep quiet then *mumbles something about a hex core @ 4ghz... am3 socket*

No, you're not weird in any way. I like to see the face of the person "talking" I guess.. Sure most people don't use it, anonymity and all that jazz..
But no, you're not weird, and you're most certainly not alone. I've actually had myself as an avatar here on the Escapist a couple of times as well, although I did not look quite as swashbuckling (and... bored??) in mine.

 

[neonsword13-ops]

Um.. no.

Other people on the site do it, too.

Personally, I find face picture avatars to lack character. Having a, say, character from a game as your avatar (Take my Kat avatar from Gravity Rush as an example) will allow me find out what kind of games and everyday activities you enjoy and the like.

If you give me a face, I have nothing to go on other than "this is my face".

-lol ship-snip-

On a completely off-track note, I love your Hero Prinny avatar, dood.

 

[Kyber]

I might use a picture of me as my avatar, but i don't want the GOVERMENT to know what i look like, for future "purposes"...

 

[smearyllama]

Nah. We've had a bunch of users with avatars like yours. That one guy, whose name I can't remember, had a picture of him with his pet rat on his shoulder. He doesn't really come around these parts anymore. Moved on to greener pastures in early 2011, if I'm remembering right.

Simulord. He was pretty sure that the mods were after him.

OT: I don't do it, I prefer to put funny, horrifying or weird avatars next to my posts. I don't think it's odd if someone does, though.

That's the guy. Cool fellow, if I remember. What were the mods after him for, if I may ask?

 

[Olas]

Wait, you mean most of these avatars aren't actual pictures of the user? Go figure, I guess that explains a lot. Do you guys all have horribly deformed faces or something?
-Kool Aid man

 

[Risingblade]

Why aren't you wearing mustache and monocle?

 

[Trippy Turtle]

Its rare but I like it. I would do it as well if I could find a picture of me I don't want to burn on sight.

You made a thread for this, really?

No, I don't think you're weird this isn't exactly something that isn't done before. My real picture is on my steam profile.
People post pictures of themselves all the time.

 

[Goofguy]

Not weird, just not my thing. I'm not insecure about my looks or ashamed of anything. I guess I just embrace the opportunity to post pictures of things I like or find amusing.

 

[The Pinray]

No, I'd put up a picture of myself if I had one (I'm fairly good-looking). But I don't. Plus the evil smiley face is just my thing... Which is odd seeing as I'm extremely friendly.

Whatever!
