What does your avatar and name mean?

Well, my name was honestly just pulled out of my butt, literally. I joined the website becuase I used it for about 7 months and always wanted to post, but never did. So one day I said screw it and threw together ElDorito. My avatar is Venom, who is by far the coolest supervillian ever (at least in Marvel...) It flashes nice thanks to Oni! thanks again.. Curious what yours means...

Definately gets my vote. How'd you do it?
A good 10 hours and a Photoshop/ImageReady file with over 200 layers and a lot of copying, moving, and erasing. Turned out really good though.

Sounds like work. I think I'll pass. It' took me like 15 minutes to do mine in Photoshop, It'd take me a month to do something like that!

Yeah, mine was spread out over a good three weeks, and I did a decent chunk of it at work (at a campus computer lab, where my job consists of sitting there and helping people when they are baffled by the incredibly difficult task of opening up Word). That, and, when you don't want to do your homework anything is a good distraction.

My buddy is a turnip. I am a radish. The spelling got mutated to raddish. My avatar speaks for itself.

I remember when Kal-el put his avatar on first. At that time it was a close one between Kal-el and Oni for best avatar. Lowpro had some cool ones also.

Zoz was my video game name... whenever I'd get on the high-scorer's list, I'd put Zoz as the initials (since it only took 3 letters)... My avatar is based on the symbol 'Phi'. Phi (for those that don't know) is the most beautiful number in the world. It was used to make the spiral on my avatar and then I got it to spin.

Phi is a ratio found in nature in almost everything. Most things from trees to the human body have that ratio in the way that they are 'built'. That's why it is called the 'Golden Ratio'. The spiral that you're looking at is the Golden Spiral.

Back in the day.......the day being 96 or thereabouts, I played a game called Federation on AOL. Everyone complaned about the lag and thus the name Lagkiller was born.


And for those who dont know Vox Populi is Latin for voice of the people
