PhR33X 34 Posted January 27, 2016 Mine has had a few variations on the theme, since Atomic first kicked off 15 something years ago. But I've reverted back to my original. The reason - it made me laugh. I had made a decision a long time ago that I am not going to take my online life that seriously. So something that was light hearted and stupid was all I needed.

Master_Scythe 521 Posted January 28, 2016 Mine's the Tauren Chieftain 'Ressurect' ultimate from Warcraft3, a very big part of my life. Then it was still relevant in DOTA, which is still all I play. and now? Its just because its on the poster next to my PC (the avatar atomic logo poster) that it remains. I chose it initially because it was both my favorite army to play, but also because I joined here shortly after I decided to stop pleasing people, and just be me. Lost a few 'friends' gained a lot more true ones. And just kinda started my life over. Everywhere else its a grim reaper neko skeleton looking very confused.

AccessDenied 406 Posted January 29, 2016 Don't have mine set at the moment. Normally it's a mandlebrot set. I had a program called "Fractint" many MANY years ago. (Atomic V1 days). I generated the mandlebrot and used it as my avatar. The end. AD Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Mr.Twinkie 12 Posted March 28, 2016 (edited) A long time ago in a galaxy far, far away. I loved the TV medical drama: House M.D. In my teens, I somewhat admired House's cynical and hilariously douche-like behaviour which is compensated by his genius intellect and passion to find the truth. I was not a very happy person for a long time and found it comforting that a TV character of intricate levels of personality shared the same type of misery, passion for truth, loneliness and cynical wit about the world as I do. I therefore felt comforted and assured that I'm not that bad. It made me feel like I'm him and that's awesome! I thought he was so cool for being an asshole and being able to get away with it all the time and yet go through such deep pains and insecurities that everybody else can go through such as addiction and loneliness. But that was the young, naive me trying to be romantic and living as an escapist. The 'now' me still reveres on the character of House and his self destructive behaviour and intellect because he taught me that life is about having good company. More so, the show has illustrated how trivial negative events in life are, no matter how big or small they are. They may not always go away and they may be powerfully damaging, but your life is still there on the door ready to be opened for the next day. I also found the character of Dr Gregory House incredibly romantic as he can be an asshole and save lives yet go home, play sentimental piano with some whiskey and still get high whenever he wants. There is just something incredibly contrasting between the freedom and crippledness found in the House persona and that I admire as a creative writer. Hugh Laurie is also a top bloke. He's funny, loves the blues and is a great actor in his own right which I wish I can see more of on the big screen. He is also incredibly humble at interviews which I find rare to see nowadays in the celebrities we see. Okay I'm done.
