Avatars Fetish and Free Avatars (Illegal!)

[Xeon]

Now, this ain't any post on child paedophile or anything. Sorry.
I had suggest you do some searches on Google and Yahoo to search for your darkest and wildest fantasies.
These are darn great search engines, and that's a fact.

If anyone wants a static, cartoon/text/abstract/symbol kind of avatar, feel free to PM/e-mail me and tell me in details what you want.
Codeguru would be a neater and cooler place if everyone has a cute and clear avatar. And it's an art, just like programming. :)

For example : Platinum Plus's previous avatar of Brain.(done by me)
It's so darn cool, but because of copyright infringments, he has removed it away.
And Brad's avatar is darn cool too : the Codeguru logo itself!

In addition, look at my avatar : nice, handsome, high-quality(anti-aliased and non-pixellated/no distortion). :D

The tool I'm using is Adobe PhotoShop 6.0(the latest is Version 7.0++, but 6.0 is more than enough to churn out the best avatars)
Shadowed, embossed, inner/outer bevels and texture coloring effects are all possible.

The cost? Pay me US$700 for each pixel in the avatar.
No no.....seriously, it's free.

I can't be coding all the time, and I need to use PhotoShop once in a while or I'll become a dummy. :)
Besides, some of the folks here(the regular ones) don't have any avatars, and we need avatars to liven up the site.
This will increase the overall atmosphere at Codeguru and make it even more personal than CodeProject. :)
Plus, I wanna give something back to Codeguru for helping me so darn much.

But again, I'm not a professional designer, so although high-quality is assured, I make no assurance about maximum creativity or shocking-effects. :)

If you really want a high-quality and beautiful avatar, mail me and gimme the following details(I don't do photo-avatars, but you can send me your photo and I'll use PhotoShop to resize it to mantain maximum quality).
Here's the typical form :

1) Kind of picture wanted(for example, HeartBreakKid can have a broken heart picture)
2) Background of avatar(white is the best, cos' it gives way for natural shadow effects)
3) Any special effects needed(choose from Inner Bevel, Outer Bevel, Emboss, Pillow Emboss, Drop Shadow, Inner Shadow, gradients and basic texture fills)
4) General description of the avatar and the "personality" of the avatar

For example : Platinum Plus's previous avatar of Brain.(done by me)
It's so darn cool, but because of copyright infringments, he has removed it away.


Right. Please do not use any copyrighted material for your avatars.

[Platinum Plus]

Right. Please do not use any copyrighted material for your avatars. I hope it is safe to use the copylefted logos though :(

Xeon says Platinum Plus's previous avatar of Brain.(done by me) The current one is yet another show of Xeons wizardry with the eBox ;)

[Xeon]

From Platinum:

I hope it is safe to use the copylefted logos though

Yes. Totally safe. To use a copylefted logo, just use your left hand and left-click(switch your left mouse button functionality with the right one) the left mouse button.

U're safe that way. Thanks to Platinum for his great idea. :)


The current one is yet another show of Xeons wizardry with the eBox


Thank you for giving us a good testimonial, Platinum Plus! Anyone who doesn't agree Platinum is some sortta angel has to challenge me first. :)

well xeon , what thing would you like to prepare for me ???

[Platinum Plus]

Whatever it is it must not bite !!!

Wonderful, Krishnaa! Umm......how about gurls in cute jungle suits??!!!! :D:D:D

Well, no no........since your current avatar is bear, I believe you have a serious fetish for bears.
In that case, I'll try to create a high-quality bear picture then.
Delivery within 1 week. :)

[b]From Platinum Plus:

Ummm.....maybe something that sting instead of bite? Jellyfish. :D
Maybe something that chews instead of bite? Goat.
Something that pinch n' poke n' kiss instead of bite? GURLS!!!!!!! :D:D:D:D

[Krishnaa]

no no....not bear .............

[sbrothy]

How about this one (See attachment)? :)

[Simon666]

What a coincidence. I was just looking for that (full size) picture. I had seen it once before and intended to post it as joke in "I still don't have a (fulltime) job". Do you have the link to that image?

[sbrothy]

I'm afraid not. I tried to find a link to it so that people wouldn't have to download it but I had no luck. I'll post the link if I find it.

Send it to me at xeonboy@hotmail.com
1 pixel == US$1.00
Real cheap

No no......just kidding. Send me the picture. High-quality assured. If I can't get a high-quality picture or if I feel the quality sucks a li'l bit after resizing, I'll not do it, cos' when creating images and such, I can't stand pixellated images and such. :):cool:

Simon pal......errr.......you must have a rather gigantic ego. I was actually talking to Krishnaa. Errr.....maybe you need some anti-ego pills? :D:D


No, with my code coloring utility. Have you tried it once? I also have some things to do again for my PhD. Well, I always have, but now more than usual.

No......haven't tried it yet. But you, Cimperiali, CBasicNet and Yves M have all become famous for color-coding tools. :D:)

Look at my avatar : it also has to do with Belgium. But you are right, anti-ego pills would help me. :D

Yes, yes. I know. After all, lions belong more to Western countries. :):D

Now, haven't you watch any mafia movies? Of course Yves is a terrible mafia ganglord : the boss of all bosses.

For a start, mafia bosses like Yves do nothing except sit back and relax, and smoke cigars in their offices.
It is small fries like me and SolarFalre who do the actual work for him. In other words, we're his henchmen.

That's why the real mafia boss, Yves M, doesn't get caught that easily, cos' they're the masterminds behind the dark scenes, directing the entire show. This is what is meant by a real mafia boss : they don't do the dirty work themselves. :D:)

[CBasicNet]

Knishna, you actually had a tiny bit of chance to come to Singapore.

After since you have changed your avatar from the lion one to a tiger one, you had lost all your chances at it. Sigh.....:D

Don't you know that Singapore stands for Lion City.

The name Lion City is an oxymoron itself since no lions were ever found natively in Singapore, except those imported ones in our zoo.:D

hey how about singapore's mafia world ,I heard many chineese and indian smuglers live there very openly .

That you have to ask Xeon. He has first hand insider's info.:D You can come over and join his syndicate.

*Back to serious mode*

Where did you get that from? Singapore is a very safe place which do not have triads, unlike every other places where there have a large number of Chinese.

Well, I remember there used to be lions in the Ice Age in Europe, in the past. :)

First, the Russian mafia is getting into Australia for their activities. It has been widely known for that.

My boss, the good Yves M, is planning to shift operations to 3 countries : Belgium, India and Singapore.
He says he's putting me in charge of Singapore, and Solar is in charge of India and Platinum will be situated in Belgium.

I'm currently trying to propose to my boss to include a new ccountry to shift our operations to, and that's New Zealand. I hope he'll put me in charge of there too.

And while most mafia gangs do prostitution, we don't. Our mafia buy toys and chocolate bars for kids with half our yearly revenue, and we try to stop other mafia gangs from doing prostitution.(our main cause for establishing it in the first place)
To fund our mafia, we traffick in drugs and illegal ammunition and sell them to anyone who wanna buy it, from a 6 year old boy to a crazy madman. Anyone who has the $$$.

And yes. Singapore has gangs(not triads or mafia), but although they're dangerous, they're not as dangerous as the mafia whatsoever.
Besides, the gang problem here is not as bad as in Japan, the US, Europe, and Australiasia. :cool:

I would like to illustrate my viewpoint on God with the lyrics of a cd I have from Clawfinger. I think this band has very good lyrics and illustrate my viewpoint in a way that I couldn't possibly express better.

Two Sides

There's nothing a god can give to me that I can't give to myself
I put my beliefs in the things I believe and a god can take care of himself
There's not enough love in the world for me to think about wasting my time
It's not that I don't believe at all but I don't need a heavenly sign
I can achieve the things I need without getting down on my knees
I can respect your religion but I don't want to pay your fees
I don't want to hear you talk about the things you think that I need
so don't help me back on my feet again until you can hear me plead
Just look in the holy book of crooks and tell me what you can find
All the rules and the regulations made to manipulate your mind
Don't pretend that you're blind just open your mind and study historical times
The bigger the loss the bigger the cost the bigger the cross and its crimes

I don't believe in a god that I need to worship
I don't believe that I need to get down on my knees
I don't believe that a voice from above can help me
I only believe in what I can see and the things that I can achieve

Whatever belief you belong to there's still always a reason to doubt
and there's always another opinion as to what life is all about
There's always a bigger dimension and a different point of view
so I don't want to try to change you that decision is up to you
Whatever your final choice is and however you choose to live

You'd better be happy for what you can get and happy for what you can give
There's only one thing to remember there is only one thing you can do
and that is to do unto others as you'd have others do unto you

Chorus

Two sides two sides to every story
two stories more makes four new ones to choose
Four sides four sides to every story
four stories more makes eight new ones to choose
Eight sides eight sides to every story
eight stories more now which one should you choose
now which one can you use

Chorus

By Clawfinger

They also illustrate perfectly how I think of myself. And the music is good too.

Biggest & the Best

Nobody is perfect but I'm pretty ****ing close
and I'm here to give you all a heavy heavenly dose
I think you'd better listen 'cos I know who you are
and I think that you should treat me like a superstar
because I'm more than just a human I'm a gift to all of you
and I'm here to make sure that my message gets through
I wonder if you're really all as dumb as you look
or are you smart enough to learn the rules in my book
I hope you understand that the knowledge I bring
puts me in the position of a god or a king
'cos I'm blessed with the gift of the magic touch
and I wouldn't say that I'm asking for to much
all you have to do is get down on your knees and pray
and I promise you the remedy is on its way
but you can never be like me so don't waste your time
because I reign supreme and my position is divine

What's wrong with being self possessed?
Nobody's satisfied with being second best
I've got the gift and I know that I'm blessed
and I've got to get it off my chest

I'm the biggest the best better than the rest, better than the rest
I'm the biggest the best better than the rest, better than the rest
I'm the biggest the best better than the rest, better than the rest
I'm the biggest the best better than the rest, better than the rest
I'm not afraid of competition 'cos I know that I'm the best
and you haven't got a chance to even pass my little test
Even if you wanted to you couldn't pay the price
there ain't no room for losers in my perfect paradise
'cos life is always based upon the weight of your success
so I'll make sure that I get the most and nothing less
If I love myself then everyone will love me to
and there's nothing you can do for me that I can't do

Chorus

So welcome to my kingdom and enjoy your little stay
Even if you can't afford it I'll still make you pay
so you'd better come and get it and enjoy it while you can
don't tell me that you're dumb enough to think I give a ****
I couldn't care less about what you achieve
and there's only one thing that you have to believe
the only thing important that you have to understand
is that no matter what you say it's still a god I really am

By Clawfinger

And a nice thing I found out they also have a song "Simon Says", but that's on a cd I don't have.

SIMON SAYS

You say destiny decided what was meant to be
I say I decide myself what's too become of me
Simon says there's not a chance we'll ever get along
and none of us say anything but we both think he's wrong

You say we can't choose the path of life we walk upon
I say I already know which path I'm walking on
Simon says to both of us we're not allowed to move
And none of us say anything but we both disapprove

Simon says
Simon says
Simon says
Simon says
Simon says

You say we can't change the world if it can't change itself
I say I can't change the world before I change myself
Simon says we're not allowed to change the world we see
And none of us say anything but we both disagree

Chorus

By Clawfinger

This is too darn typical. Too common. Too predictable. Too typical, I say. The words of a Satanist, the viewpoints of a Satanist and the thinking of a typical disbeliever in God.

Simon alas! U've succumbed to yourself and to Satan. U think there's no God, but what if........there is?!

Simon.......there's still hope for you. Repent and be good. Conquer the demon in your heart. :cool:

[CBasicNet]

Hey Xeon,

Is your avatar some dumb character from some Japanese anime or manga? Till now I still can't sees what actually is your avatar.

I would suggest to change to something else, otherwise it would be bad advertisement and image for the free avatar service provider having a bad avatar himself.:D

[Amn]

Amn tempted me to post something

I only commented on you wanting to post an image with a bum begging for food ... me in other words eh ? :D

Yes. It's actually(originally) a full-body picture of that demon lord in Digimon Tamers.
NO! DON'T LAUGH. There's another guy called Puzzolino who has an avatar of Goku in Dragonball Z.(which is more interesting? :D)
That's why.
I've attached the images in case you wanna view it. Darn cool, eh?
The truth is : each of us have a child in us. It's because we're trying to act professional all the time that this "child" is gone. And when this "child" is gone, your creativity drops. That's why.

Thats my perception of the matter as well Xeon. You cant be more right on this one ! It is important to keep the child in ourselves, otherwise we begin to leak that lifebringing force, and creativity source which originally made us who we are and propelled us into maturity. Childhood is a synonym for learning, curiousity and expanding horizons. Or, as Alanis Morisette puts it
"You live, you learn"

He just graduated in september. But the lucky bastard is freelancing journalist for a Belgian game magazine just two weeks ago. Doesn't pay much (50$ per assigment) but now he can fly to Germany for reviewing a new game. :cool:

Dimm_coder, are you around? Do you have a few Strela SA-7 missiles in discount prices? :D

Nah, just kidding. Note towards moderators : I do not wish my own brother dead. OK, maybe just Xeon. :D Every employer in Belgium seems to ask x years of experience of programmers in this or that field. I think they believe you get this experience by yourself, this information gets magically downloaded in your head if you're a programmer.

There Amn! How have you been! :) Yes, that's why. We all have a child in us. To keep the child in me alive, I play kid-games and read children story books.
I dunno why, but if you're stressed and such and you read these kinda children story books with fantasy in it and such, it really helpes you to relax. And it's even better than viewing dirty web sites. Trust me. :)

Or, as Alanis Morisette puts it
"You live, you learn"

Now, u're not a fan of Alanis Morisette, right? Hmmm.......she's not that pretty. It would be better if you're a fan of M2M. That really cute **** duo is from Norway too. M2M.......Marit Raven and Marion Larsen. Or was it Marit Larsen and Marion Raven? Hmmm...kinda confusing. But what matters most is that they're darn sweet, young, cute and hot. And they're nice li'l teenage gurls too. :D


Respect, Xeon !

Thank you, Amn. :):D:cool:

[Amn]

J00, whats up Xeon, my friend ..

Nah, not very fond of M2M really. Its Marion Ravn and Marit Larsen by the way. Good luck to em though ...

Alanis Morisette is a terrific heavenly beauty i think. Still, i dont make idols for myself. So good luck to her too ;)

Beautiful people are all around us. Keep your eyes open man !

Yes you are right about the child books. I personally think, children are grown up and grown ups are kids. The world is squeezing on us so hard, we can't afford to smile anymore. Its all about workforce, workhorse, set course and Barneise sause ....
****, children are so smart, every time i look into ones eyes, i almost think they know the Answer to the Greatest Question Of The Universe ;)

If you are into wisdoms related to children, you should check out Tibetan buddhism.
