Wow!

I have been away from the site for 14 or so days and come back to find these pics. They are absolutely fabulous!

David would you be able to do one for me?

Something cosmic/sublime or absolutely ridiculous (contradictory) is what I am looking for.

David,
I don't know why my avatar is not showing up :/
this is the link I'm using right now: http://bliat.netfirms.com/pix/pablo.gif
And I don't know from where I got it. Just found it sometime somewhere and saved for the future.
Edit: just found out the reason: 'This site is currently unavailable'. I'll try to find a server to upload it and paste a link here.

WoW! It's been a full week since I started this thread and I've created over 240 new avatars (not including retouches!) That's some 34+ every day on average. If you will permit me, I'm going to babble a bit in celebration..

First, I created this 'Retro-Avatar' for the occasion..


While browsing some of the other threads I caught sight of a message that had people talking about the good ol' days of 300 baud modems. I posted a short reply about the very first download I made.. (a music demo called Passionately!).. my eyes glazed over and I thought back to one of my favorite games of all time, 'Miner 2049er' for the Atari 800 computer. That's what inspired me to create this little avatar. I also remember one of the first 'space exploration' games I played that I also liked a lot, it was called 'Universe 2' by Omnitrend. One of the things I loved about that game was how you could mine for precious ores, and mining was a risky business. If you stayed on the surface too long you would loose your mining craft. Another great 'Space' game was 'Sundog: The Frozen Legacy' Aaah the memories.. Space Empires:IV has a lot going for it, and I do enjoy firing it up from time to time. My only problem is I suck at strategy and have rarely won a game (in fact I don't think I have ever won a game of SE:4) I really love the 'exploration' and technology part of the game, but while I'm busy doing that the AI guys are preparing to whoop my ***! LoL Question, is there an option to turn off the 'agressive/conquer' part of the game? that would be cool for wimps like me!

But I digress, I'm having fun with this avatar thing right now, and I hope you all are enjoying the eye-candy I've been flooding in here.

Have a Great Day People, Cheers!
