Comment Here If You've Got A New Avatar Icon!

Posted on Wednesday, July 18 @ 09:56:10 Eastern by

Hey! You! Did you change your avatar this past week? It's summer time so we decided to collectively kick the dust off our boots and change things up. You'll notice Nick's Persona-inspired icon and Anthony has apparently become Revolver Ocelot. His gun has already gone off several times around the office.

Thanks to everyone who changed their avatars with us this week! Big things are in store for the future of GameRevolution and we've all got a shiny coat of paint ready for them.

Comment here and tell us what icon you went with and why. If you can't see everyone's new avatars, simply clear your browser's cache! (We all know your internet histories are sparkly clean.) :P

    War has changed.

    It's not about avatars, or forum signatures.
    It's not even about Batman, Ezio Auditore, or Pokemon characters.

    It's an endless series of proxy battles,
    fought by succubi who change their avatars to seduce you.
