Several years ago, on my last PC, I signed up for Gametap. I couldn't run most of the games on there, but I was able to get Metal Slug to work. I've always loved the Metal Slug series, it never failed to get all my quarters in any given arcade.
Once I'd finished playing through the Metal Slug games available through Gametap, I realized I could dig into the game files to check out some of the sprites. I found this one, it's one of the zombies from the pyramid levels. They were always my favorite enemies to fight because you could basically just mow them down en masse; and if they did hit you, you got turned into a mummy until you got an antidote. It was a nice change of pace.
So yeah. I had it saved in my main pictures folder for a while, until I signed up for The Escapist. I realized we could do .GIFs, so I grabbed this one and it's been my avatar ever since.
The story's not that great, but the stuff to the left of my posts has remained mostly unchanged for years. Username's the same, picture's the same, even my badges are mostly old ones. Hell, my post count hasn't gone up very much; I only speak up every now and then. For the most part, I'm content to lurk and occasionally write out my thoughts and then delete them without posting.
