How come there are still no X-Com avatars? Those animated gifs pointed out on page 10 could easily be made single sprites with either a gif creator, or with as simple as ms-paint. There are also the portraits an other in-game images suited to be avatars.

Not that I want to use, but it's just weird to see that there are no X-Com avatars on Codex.

I want Communist Propoganda avatars.

I want WW2 fascist and communist leader avatars, like Stalin, Hitler, Mussolini and Franco.

And I want some Oblivion avatars, just for the fun of it.

See, I'm not totally in favor of custom avatars, but something just strikes me as odd about this kind of sentiment.

Ok. So we are on an internet forum about CRPGs. This is a dying (dead) genre which is constantly raped and trampled upon by mainstream tastes driving corporate decisions. Besides CRPG discussion there are constantly threads about how much just about everything that is mainstream bullshit sucks or some underappreciated works of art (in all media forms) and their greatness.

Point being, why the fuck would anyone think a bunch of angry cunts would put shit like that up as their avatars?

I think it's to stop new people from posting up pictures of Vaan/furries/other stuff.

Then you have people who think it would be clever/funny to stick tubgirl, etc. as their avatar.

Besides avatars are just another form of graphic whoredom.

I've been playing Jagged Alliance again, and noticed that Codex doesn't have JA1 avatars. So here they are:

Original images at 112x100 in .bmp format

Images resized, to 84x75 in .jpg for forum use, at 3-4 kb each.

Here are all the portraits merged for nostalgia (Santino and Hamous are missing though).

Let's see.

edit: Nope. It's not where it used to be, or anywhere else I can see. Definitely gone.
