Is There Any Chance to Bring Movie Avatars in to the Codex?

What, all the members against custom avatars because it's not classy enough don't count?

 

[Grunker]

if you think the codex is classy it's not me who's got a problem

Who are "all the members"? I'm very much against custom avatars, but it's got shit to do with class. I think it's more suitable for a PC-dedicated gaming forum's theme that everyone has game-avatars.

I see nothing wrong with limiting the GD-shit as much as possible without harming the forum's lack of post-moderation, and most custom avatars are just nazi-symbols, chicks and other retarded shit.

I'm not against mixed race marriage because I hate niggers, I just think it's more suitable that they marry their own race.

Well, QED, really

I'm not against mixed race marriage because I hate niggers, I just think it's more appropriate that they marry their own race.

That may just be the most stupid analogy I've ever read on this site.

Let me counter it with the same retardation: say I like my prostitutes with big-ass tits and too much make-up instead of silk dresses. Would that also be a question of me claiming my desires relating to prostitutes are "classy?"

Aesthetic preference ≠ claims of classyness. It's a pretty fucking simple notion, shouldn't be too difficult to grasp, even for the most edgy amongst us.

Classy & open minded!

You have an aesthetic preference for 'video games'? That makes no sense. Look at the two avatars above mine and tell me what they have in common, aesthetically.

I like looking on gaming avatars on a PC-game forum. Not everyone's idea of beautiful tits or pretentious historic references.

Jesus, how hard is this concept to grasp, lol. Nono, I'm sure you're right. In reality I think that this:



is just a icon of our classyness! In fact DU has yet to look at the memo I passed him concerning the illegimate use of "prestigious magazine" in an ironic fashion!

 

[Damned Registrations]

That would make sense, if not for the fact that there are so many games in the pool at this point that more than half the time you've no idea what game an avatar is from, and wouldn't even know it was from a game without having that knowledge beforehand.

Which glorious game is this from again?

How about this one?

Oh wait that's actually the cover of a novel published in 1988.

BRB, putting together a collection of Night Trap avatars so we can all be girls at a slumber party.

 

[Grunker]

I'm not challenging your right to disagree or that the current gallery has minor issues, I'm challenging the pants-on-head-retarded notion that just because someone is against custom avatars that someone must think that the Codex is "classy".

plz do

 

[Damned Registrations]

So you're fighting a strawman then? Because I never said everyone against custom avatars had that reason.

I'd have no problem with a gallery settup if it was limited to say, PC games from 85-90 or something, so there'd be some level of coherence. But if you're going to include everything from chunky 3D models to hand drawn portraits to pixellated, garishly coloured monsters or photographs, I don't see the point of having a gallery.

 

[DraQ]

Beat me to it.

Damn.

 

[Damned Registrations]

Maybe I should just do a bundle of Mega Drive avatars. There's some real gems in there.

I'm glad Grunker likes looking at an avatar like this.

 

[DraQ]

Can you point me to a single member who unironically thinks of the Codex as "classy"?

We have a smiley which is an octopus with cock-tentacles, ffs.

I no longer know whether the current irony count is odd or even - does that count?

Sad to say, but it was a trilogy.

Funny thing is D&D could make a tent pole film franchise to rival Marvel if it was done right. I mean, Lord of the Rings already paved the way and comic book stuff used to be core nerd material.

 

[Damned Registrations]

It's hilarious how badly that brand has been mismanaged. You'd think after two incredibly terrible movies, they'd maybe give a flying fuck about who they were giving the rights to for what is probably the biggest advertisement DnD has gotten, ever.

Err, wait, I mean, clearly they know what they're doing. Nobody gets to make decisions like that when they're a fucking retard. That'd be a failure of the invisible hand. By having the movies turn out terribly, they've kept DnD safely out of the media spotlight so it can't be demonized again.

 

[Darth Roxor]

Damned Registrations stop being a faggot tease and bring me them avatars, I want to be the green ranger

I keep hitting play but it doesn't

Shocking, positively shocking.

 

[Damned Registrations]

Uh, yeah, where do you think the idea for the game came from?

Edit; maybe I'm going about this the wrong way. Instead of getting avatars from all sorts of games, clearly it'd be more efficient to just grab it all from one game that steals the sprites from other games.

This seems like a high quality candidate.
