To Igloo or not to Igloo

Jackal · Post by **Jackal** » Tue Mar 19, 2002 6:09 am

The question to which I ponder on this late evening, morning if you wish to be technical, is this. Shall I keep the Igloo as my icon or shall I design a new symbol to represent myself on the great and glorious bulldrek.com?

I say a remix of the igloo.

Yeah, something like a disco-igloo would be nice...

Jestyr · Post by **Jestyr** » Tue Mar 19, 2002 6:46 am

You could do a whole lot. The punk igloo, the death metal igloo, the britneypop igloo (complete with plastic reshaped and engineered blocks), the lounge singer igloo, the angsty rock ballad igloo... the possibilities are endless.

You scare me Jes.

I'll see what I can come up with. I have no real artistic skill.

Bollocks you don't! *flaunts her sparkly disco ball*

...looks more like a shiney Death Star...

DV8 · Post by **DV8** » Tue Mar 19, 2002 10:53 am

I agree. Disco-ball my hairy ass. That's the death star!

Cash · Post by **Cash** » Tue Mar 19, 2002 11:58 am

It's that whole dark circle on the upper left thingy.

*shrug* Either way it's mine so fuck off.

And anyway, you're all making it sound as if a shiny Death Star is a /bad/ thing.

Jackal · Post by **Jackal** » Tue Mar 19, 2002 12:57 pm

It's the Glitter Star....if they mess with her they'll get disco'd to death

Personally, I think the igloo rocks. It also looks especially nice with the rest of the colors here.

It's one of those avatars that sticks out, in my mind. The best example of that is Lektro; her posts manage to completely stick out, because the sig and the avatar are color-coordinated, and they manage to do that without looking totally out-of-place.

*hugs shiny Death Star close* Hello my Precious.

And because it's bright yellow. On a board of dark blues and blacks and greys, that's kinda sticky-outy.

And you'd think it'd look stupid that way, right? But it doesn't! Pretty nifty.

Hey, anything's better with bright yellow.

You need a fluorescent orange avatar, Elf. That'd do it.

Cash · Post by **Cash** » Wed Mar 20, 2002 10:38 am

Well, he needs to get an avatar first.

Instant Cash · Post by **Instant Cash** » Wed Mar 20, 2002 3:10 pm

Disco Balls are scary. Not to mention boring. Stobs and beat lights, now those are the way to go

DV8 · Post by **DV8** » Wed Mar 20, 2002 3:29 pm

"Stobs?" Do you mean "strobes?" They are definitely the way to go. Apparently, you can use them to paralyze vampires in Shadowrun.

Don't diss the Ball bitch.

I had an interesting avatar......... but it's 100 by 100 and I'm to lazy to edit the thing to 80 by 80
I'll come up with something cool later.

Spiral · Post by **Spiral** » Wed Mar 20, 2002 6:44 pm

people, please. Disco ball + strobes. Now that's cool shit.

DV8 · Post by **DV8** » Wed Mar 20, 2002 7:29 pm

Yeah, back in the '30s or '40s or whenever you thought you were cool.

You've just got to remember to buy a stake from the old shaman that runs the Talismongers in Old-town to finish 'em off with afterwards. *Sigh* Memories.

Cazmonster · Post by **Cazmonster** » Wed Mar 20, 2002 11:08 pm

I spent far too long with that game. Loved every minute of it, but spent far too long.

Once you get all the spells, you are godlike.

Cazmonster sets his volitional chrome fur to 'discoball' and jams out to Celebration.

DV8 · Post by **DV8** » Thu Mar 21, 2002 7:10 am

No way dude, once you get the Wired Reflexes and Dermal Armour, then you're godlike. Is it sad of me if I still play the game on a regular basis?

I think this is the game I spent the most time playing...ever.

I even found out that when you kill Ed, at Ed's Patch-n-Fix, after he activates the Cortex Bomb, a bunch of cyberware doesn't become available to you later in the game. Also, Andersen, one of the shadowrunners you are able to hire, has a skill unarmed combat, all the other skills are somehow learnable or acquirable...except for that one. That pisses me off.

Jestyr · Post by **Jestyr** » Thu Mar 21, 2002 7:18 am

Now I'm almost wishing I'd ever owned some kind of console machine, so I could have had a chance at it being a SNES, so I might have played Shadowrun.

(Ew. Grammar Nazis, ahoy?)

I can hook you up, yo.

He is...*dramatic pause*...the Cheatanator.

Although that sounds vaguely like "cheetah" which is too cool for him.
