Thread: Where did your AVATAR come from and what is it?

Mine is my College Mascot...

Texas State University - Bobcats

"Eat 'em Up cats!"

Mine is from the internet somewhere, and follows the theme of "the king" that I like so much in my Avatars. And it's fairly self-explanatory.

Dune is a perfect analogy to current middle east conflict (spice = oil, emperor = usa, bush = the stupid older harkkonen brother being used to setup his replacement Feyd Rautha). i thought it was appropriate, since bf2 has a big middle east theme.

Sorry, but your assessment of the current Middle East situation and Dune are so far off that it's comical.

#1. The current war isn't about oil.

#2. The USA isn't a single person, so we can't be an "Emperor".

#3. And who exactly is Bush going to replace himself with?

Sorry dude. Your analogy isn't even close to real life. I would expect a doctor to have known better.

i HATE when people say we are in Iraq for oil. It's the most retarded thing ever. If we were there for oil, why are we still paying $100/barrel? We sent OUR contractors to fix the pipes the Insurgents fucked up, and we didn't get a drop of oil for it.

In FACT, USA only gets 3% of it's oil from the Middle East. The other 97% comes from South America, Gulf of Mexico, and Alaska. Ranger is right on, anyways... back on conversation, no need to turn this into some flame war or big debate.

First of all, I hope you make this sticky or there at least isnt one before this..

But just a moment ago I played The Parish on Expert. Everything went fine, it was good team and we got on the 3rd chapter. There wasnt any lag, but then one of our team died. We waited til he respawned in the bathroom. After we opened the door he didnt move at all. Suddenly the game moved back to lobby without any warning so what the f*ck is wrong with that game?

This is most likely because the server on which you were playing shat its pants and died, this is the most common (95% of the time) reason for this happening, and happens a lot with dedicated 3rd party servers (not officially dedicated, they rarely, if ever, die). The servers aren't completely ready for Realism and Expert modes at the moment because VALVE programmed them so they would be near impossible for most people and the people that would try them would want a lot of practice before attempting it, though this hasn't proven to be the case (difficulty wise, I'm the Real Deal bitches, and I bet you are too).

So in laments terms, sucks that you got a shit server, and I hope you were able to complete Expert Parish despite that.

^Thanks for info.

Today I had actually pretty fun moment, I decided to do Gnome-achievement. Everything went fine until the chopper came. I jumped too early and fell through it so when I finally got in that chopper Tank punched me and I didnt get the achievement. I'm not angry, because I planned to do that achievement as last but it was funny.

I was in a Pub match where they were trying for it (Was 2 days ago I think, didn't matter to me, I've got 48/50 achievements, just missing SiN and SGSP), they had it the whole time, I died and dropped it, other guy picks it up quickly, everyone is falling on their ass, everyone is dying (This was on normal mode, was a terrible run, but from what I could tell they were all friendly, funny and possibly completely drunk, so I didn't care, I prefer the inebriated) and Nick is alone just a few seconds from the copter with gnome in hand and just like you, the tank punches his sorry ass right into the copter, the punch of coarse forcing him to drop it and since he landed in there alive, it took off, and everyone went batshit insane, I didn't mind but dear lord they were PISSED! I found it amusing, they sure didn't.
