In which the community elects GnomeSplice's new avatar.

GnomeSlice

20:46

Hmm...what could I use for an avatar...

This maybe?

Fabian

Just slice up a gnome and make some pictures

GnomeSlice

No, It's not video gamey enough.

badp

@GnomeSlice yum yum.

GnomeSlice

That's the one.

Hmm.... No, it's too bright.

Toki Tori?

That could work.

@Mana > I need input.

Mana

Could work, yeah, although I'd be able to take you even less seriously.

GnomeSlice

20:51

Isn't that a plus, for you?

Mana

I guess, yeah. Go for it broseph.

GnomeSlice

Hmmm....... You wouldn't be able to read that scaled down though, I presume.

Mana

You really wouldn't.

argh

GnomeSlice

Incognito.

Mana

can we take this to FB chat stop spamming the chat with silly imgszzz

GnomeSlice

20:54

This is serious bidniss.

Not mere silliness.

I think my avatar is vital to the future of Gaming.SE.

Mana

Got to say I think incognito would be the most bro image

so it's definitely the one you should take

GnomeSlice

Dammit, why are these all so big?

Tim Stone

@GnomeSlice Especially if you become mod. People need to see your gravatar and be stunned by its amazingness, so that you can close their game-rec questions with extreme prejudice while they aren't looking.

badp

@GnomeSlice Agreed.

GnomeSlice

I needs to be lighthearted, but serious.

badp

Here, have a dedicated room.

GnomeSlice

Way to spell my name wrong.

Mana

GnomeSplice is clearly a better name anyways.

GnomeSlice

I need input here.

badp

@GnomeSlice That's more of a Gracey image.

GnomeSlice

You think? It's the Google Chrome Incognito Icon.

....Which sort of supports the whole ninja thing, I suppose.

badp

20:58

@GnomeSlice That's more of an ArdaXiey... ArdaXily... ArdalyXi... Arday image.

GnomeSlice

I do like that one.

badp

@GnomeSlice too detailed.

GnomeSlice

FALCON PUNCH

badp

It must work at 16×16

Something your current avatar does nicely.

GnomeSlice

That one is really crummy are large size, but would look fine scaled down.

OH GOD, IT MOVES.

I used to use that one a lot.

Mana

21:03

this is dumb

GnomeSlice

@Mana It's important.

This one is relatable.

Mana

important but incredibly dumb

GnomeSlice

Except it still has a watermark on it. Whoops.

Mana

it's relatable in that relatable isn't a word

GnomeSlice

A video game odyssey.

badp

21:05

@GnomeSlice I like this.

GnomeSlice

@badp It makes me look angry.

badp

@GnomeSlice I don't think you can use animated gifs :)

GnomeSlice

badp

@GnomeSlice It's stylish.

GnomeSlice

@badp I'd forgotten it was animated.

Mana

21:06

@Gnome these headphones sound really good

not really sure what you were talking aboujesus christ get it away get it away GET IT AWAY

GnomeSlice

@Mana My pair must have been defective then. :(

But the ones I have now sound incredible anyway.

That game is so underrated... :(

Mana

:(

GnomeSlice

Mana

@Gnome just choose one

GnomeSlice

@Mana It's not that simple.

Technically, that one's based on a game based on an anime, but still.

That's the only anime I almost decided to watch.

Mana

21:14

:(

GnomeSlice

Mana

I think that if you found the right anime you would quite enjoy them

GnomeSlice

They're pretty slow paced.

Mana

well...yeah. But so are most TV shows.

GnomeSlice

coughDefyingGravitycough

Which by the way was a great show, and I wish they hadn't cancelled it.

badp

21:15

Mana

cringes

badp

I suggest this one. I think it's gnomier than the others.

2

GnomeSlice

:)

That would be great, but at 16x16 it would look like nothing.

Mana

and that's why you suck at choosing avatars

badp

@GnomeSlice just crop the square with his face.

Mana

21:17

^^

GnomeSlice

Mana

well that one is the most well-suited to your IRL appearance

GnomeSlice

offline*

Mana

argh

Look

the only thing you're doing here is showing us amusing images

GnomeSlice

No, I'm not.

No wait.

I was in the process of explaining.

Mana

21:22

none of them, except the Megaman ones, look even remotely suitable to an avatar

GnomeSlice

I would crop out the CARD part, and just use the image.

>.>

Mana

oh

GnomeSlice

Portal is too mainstream, though.

Mana

:/

GnomeSlice

Ooh, I like that one.

@badp @mana @sjohn @fabian @Foak @tim Any comments?

Mana

21:25

sure.

badp

@GnomeSlice hold ctrl-minus for a few seconds, then review your proposals.

That should help you decide.

GnomeSlice

Well, so far, people have expressed interest to:

sjohnston

The HL gnome is the obvious winner

badp

Alternatively -- mugshot.

GnomeSlice

That one...

sjohnston

21:27

like a blocky mr. Yuk

GnomeSlice

That one has been starred.

This one...

And that one?

Needs cropping, but still.

sjohnston

@GnomeSlice this will be inscrutable at avatar size

GnomeSlice

@sjohnston @badp suggested cropping it to just his face.

Or just his person.

sjohnston

ah

GnomeSlice

That one isn't really applicable, I suppose.

I wonder how that Metroid would look at avatar size.

badp

21:36

@GnomeSlice Man, first you complain about pointing to an angry avatar, then you supply us with an angry avatar after the other.

GnomeSlice

That's only one angry avatar.

See this is hard.

badp

Mana

maaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaan

GnomeSlice

It needs to be reserved, yet forceful.

badp

How about that one?

Mana

21:36

this is still really dumb

GnomeSlice

Political, but casual.

Informative, but interesting.

badp

2

GnomeSlice

...lolwut?

Is this from unicornday?

sjohnston

it is impossible to go wrong with unicornify

as evidenced by myself

badp

@GnomeSlice unicornify with your email hash.

GnomeSlice

21:39

I wondered about that.

badp

It's just you.

GnomeSlice

@badp Email hash?

badp

@GnomeSlice Argument for the service.

GnomeSlice

Aha. I get a rainbow in mine.

...I dunno.

Mana

@badp Gnome's a horrible programmer so he still might not understand

GnomeSlice

21:40

It's awfully small.

Mana

trust me on that one

GnomeSlice

I know what an argument is, thank you @Mana.

Mana

No problem. @Gnome.

GnomeSlice

GTFO my room.

:P

Mana

dude...

not cool....

GnomeSlice

21:41

This one suits me pretty well, I think.

sjohnston

uh

reminds me of rageguy

GnomeSlice

I think it is rageguy.

badp

@GnomeSlice -1

GnomeSlice

:(

sjohnston

This is rageguy. There is no other. t1.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:xKN9E329HJPZnM:http://…

GnomeSlice

21:43

Oh woops, It can't be animated, can it.

@sjohnston Oh, that rageguy.

sjohnston

@GnomeSlice best prank ever

GnomeSlice

I know. :P

But unreadable at avatar size.

F Oak

When I searched GnomeSplice on google, this one was the best I could find. It might even compress well. t0.gstatic.com/…

GnomeSlice

Although I suppose that applies more to board games.

F Oak

hmm, I need to figure out how to imbed images

GnomeSlice

21:51

@FOak .....lolwut.

You have to put just the image.

No message.

F Oak

GnomeSlice

If that doesn't work, there's an upload button beside the send button.

F Oak

There we go, that seems gnomish

GnomeSlice

How so?

F Oak

well, I meant yours, and I tried to find a better picture

but little green hut is what I was thinking

mine is a little too graphic looking

GnomeSlice

21:53

Yeah.

But at avatar size, who will notice?

F Oak

t1.gstatic.com/…

GnomeSlice

F Oak

GnomeSlice

Hah, that one's cool.

F Oak

maybe work with that?

GnomeSlice

21:55

Don't know how well it would scale though.

Brant

F Oak

ha

GnomeSlice

That looks really disgusting, somehow.

F Oak

So have you got any possibilities yet?
