DAILY MANIFESTO

Let's Change Our Avatars Next Week!

Posted on Wednesday, July 11 @ 14:19:35 Eastern by

I'm getting kind of tired of my OH SHIT IT'S BATMAN avatar image. It was a fun joke, but the effect has, unfortunately worn off. That said, I don't want to do it alone. That's why next Wednesday, July 18th, I want everyone to log on to GameRevolution, head to their profile page, and change their avatar icons.

It's summer time (in the Northern Hemisphere at least) and it's... pretty slow. That's why I think the GR community should have some fun and make a change.

Post in the comments if you'd like suggestions from other users (I know I need some help choosing a new avatar). If you don't have an avatar icon, now is the time to get one! I'll remind everyone again on Monday, but get your new image ready so that next Wednesday GameRevolution can plunge into mass confusion as no one recognizes anyone anymore.

    I honestly don't know what I want my avatar to be. I went with Batman last time because I enjoyed Arkham City so much. Maybe a little Journey person? That's the last game I REALLY loved.

    I vote, based on my stupidity, that your avatar becomes a picture of Heath.

    sci-fi's that have come out in the last 10 or so years have been pretty crap, i must say. District 9 is probably the best. also i seem to be one of a few who really enjoyed Prometheus. it's a great sci-fi... people should not see it wanting Aliens, but i cant blame em for doin so.

    District 9 was very cool, and unexpected. I thought Prometheus was OK. I went in it not expecting a true Alien prequel, because that was not what he had originally intended on doing.
