I see so many different names along with so many different(and sometimes strange) avatars. So I was wondering if everyone could post the meanings of there names and avatar here. Here's mine:

Name: My name is nothing special, just my first name and last name initial put together. 155 is 3 numbers that hotmail gave me when Blakeb was taken.
Avatar: One of the standard Hl2.net. Haven't made any good customs ones yet
 
My avatar = Ghost from Starcraft

My name = A name I use often, I never intended it to relate to yogurt(I had no knowledge of it) So now my Fantasy-based name for RPG and overall alias name is now laughed upon ;(

I want to use the name 'Danimax' but I am afraid that it will probably end up as a brand of crackers or something :|
 
fluke = a stroke of luck
It is also a UK based Techno group. Amazing music.

My avatars have always been different renderings of a vertigo eyed alien. I always use this logo on different forums, and am the only one who does, so if you see it somewhere else, its probably me. I scanned the alien off a tshirt I had many years ago.

I have attached the source image.
 
Name = Directly stolen from Eric Bana's character in Black Hawk Down. Sergeant First Class Norm "Hoot" Gibson - or more simply, SFC Hoot.

Avatar = Quite an interesting story. I had a metrocop attack me, so I killed him. The next thing I know, another one's coming down the stairs, so I killed him too. He landed right beside the first one, giving the illusion of a conjoined-metrocop. :) Here's the original image.

Signature = First verse of Evenstar, a song featured in The Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers. The language is Sindarin (an Elvish language). As you can already tell, I'm a huge fan of the movies.

I always wondered what the origins of the alien was :D
 
name: nothing, i want to change it, badly.
avatar: pretty colours : )
 
Name: Taken from the game (suprise suprise) Planescape:Torment. TTO says "I can forge planes with my power, I can unmake you." Forge planes = planeforger
Avatar: Symbol of Torment.
 
EDIT: Add your signature as well if you want, they can also be very confusing. My first line compares the G-man to a strange un-known x-files character and the second line is a joke I heard ages ago.
 
Name = My last name with "ator" added to the end so that I can say "You have been Mullinated" in online games.

Avatar = Funny baby picture I found and kept for way too long but am too lazy to really search and get a new one.
 
Name = explained elsewhere (the tattoo thread)

Avatar = I can't tell you :)
 
All will be revealed in due course.
 
Name: Ranga..... red hair. Well, i used to have red hair. its more brown now.

Avatar: Timone from The Lion King! I found it on some weird site in japanese
 
Most people I know that have red hair are real idiots =/

Not saying anything though.

Name: Character from the kid's cartoon Madeline, I used it as a joke in CS and it stuck.

Avatar: Making Fiends.

The tshirt glowed in the dark,. it was a sweet shirt. But as you can see it was already falling apart by the time I scanned it. Fortunatly I know my way around Photoshop.
 
name: character from a comic book (incidentally titled 'obergeist: ragnarok highway') - very cool story (nazis, supernatural powers, demons etc.;)) but a bit crappy illustrations.

avatar: my hand scanned and photoshopped. I use this pic very often in many places, and sometimes there are people who read from the picture and come up with strange ideas about my future life - I believe it is called 'chiromancy'

sig: quote from 'monty python's flying circus', season 1, episode 10, 'Vocational Guidance Counsellor (chartered accountant)' sketch - one of the best they ever conceived;)
 
Name: You remember the very first Final Fantasy game on the NES.....well you were only allowed four letters in your name so I named my guy beam, yes I have used the name for a very very......very long time :imu:

Avatar: My posts look so ugly without one so I just made one of my fav guy in HL2.

Sig: is true


EDIT: Great thread BTW :upstare:
 
haha ya, if you look at it right it kinda looks like Mysterio from spideyman
 
Name: What you see is what you get. I use dreamweaver alot, a Wysiwyg html editor. If I have a good day or bad day fragging, the name applies to both situations.

Avatar: Wallpaper I use at work shrunk down.
 
Wow, I am learning alot from this thread :)

Names: Picked it cause I've got a big thing for Dark Elves and Elves in general (the female kind of course hehe), and I drew a sketch of a friend once as one, which I used as my avatar at the time.

Avatar: Current one is from the very cool flash toons a friend showed me, and cause most others all have avatars from Making Fiends and i wanted to be only ever so slightly different :p
 
Ava: A little pic of me I drew on paint - almost photo realistic I think.

Name: Burner is a nickname I aquired at high school when I accidently set my head on fire (long story), someone else had the name burner so I cunningly placed those smutty number at the end. Genius.

Sig: Heard it somewhere, I agree with it.
 
Name: My Star Wars Galaxies name when I planned to be a Mon Calamari

Avatar: A kickass apple I found in my pictures folder

Sig: Rodney Dangerfield's best line in Caddyshack, which is the funniest movie ever made.
 
Name: was originally mrBadger, but changed when people stumbled across my buisness :| :p

[the Badger part has personal significance, to a much loved, dearly departed family member)

Avatar: Combine Soldier.. I'm a moderator :p

Signature: The computer I built last night :)
 
Name: Used to be Kage, named after a guy from Suikoden who I thought was kind of cool. Then I found out that every other person on the planet used that name, so I stuck Prototype on the end. :p

Avatar: Still screen from Nine Inch Nail's live DVD, "And All That Could Have Been", during the song "La Mer".

Signature: I'm a tree-hugging hippy. :|

Name: I picked it out of my hat. Doesn't have to do with the Fantastic Four, the movie, the game, etc.

Avatar: Malachi.

You started it :p
 
Name: Simon + Simon backwards (Nomis) = SimonnomiS - N (No idea why) = SimonomiS

:D Palindromes rock. No one can ever pronounce it right on Vent or mic in CS. :|

Si-mon-om-iss

Avatar: Had a bunch of images but quality was pants when I shrunk them (How do you guys keep them so high quality?), so picked the CS logo.

Sig: Rage Against The Machine quote, coz I like them. :)

EDIT: New avatar- The Merch/Fleshreaper. Penny Arcade rocks.
Double EDIT: And my sig now contains the link to a friends band. Check em out.

That sucks.

I'm gonna have to give this 6800 gt back to my mate soon. Time to fork out for a better one methinks. Been looking at the gainward version not sure though. Might just stick with what I got, well buy one of my own at least.
 
Ok most of you probably already know most of this, but here goes:

Name: Murray - the skeleton from Monkey Island. It has always been my nick on the Internet and hopefully it will remain so. :)

Avatar: Hehe, this one is kinda obvious, I like to pretend I believe in the Gordon = G-Man theory. I made an attachment on the full pic for you to drool over. :p

Signature: Visit my page, FFS!!!!11

... but seriously, the last line in my signature is reffering to the very ingenious HL2.net comic made by Sulkdodds.

EDIT: And I also belive Chris_D (a moderator) has a signature that looks much like mine.
