everyone's going retro!

I just noticed this the other day. Maybe I just missed out on the announcement, but ever since Hadrian announced the retro review thread, many people have been replacing their avatars with retro, obscure boxart.

And I'm no exception, lol!

Anyway, how about we get as many tempers as possible to change their avatars to a retro boxart? Just for the sheer heck of it.

And if there was an announcement and I missed it, sorry for repeating it :grog:

Guildilocks stays firmly in place! You don't mess with her! Well, unless you want to correct the name or make my hack job in MS Paint better.

I say we choose games released recently as our avatars just to go against the flow.

It wasn't started from the Retro Review thread. It was in some thread in the EoF.

Anyway, mine has been like that for a few days.

I ain't going retro. Chickens are awesome and so are spies. Just think of the combination of those two, it's like the world is going to implode out of awesomeness.

@chrisman: better use an older game, or flip your avy on it's side. That effed ratio looks messy ;)

True... In that case I'll change it to the 1989 PC version!

I changed mine too, just for the heck of it. I put my all-time favorite C64 game there. I figure the videogame avatar fad is better and more relevant to GBAtemp than things like the cocktus pics, which are, to say the least, quite juvenile.

Answer: Spammer.

The next trend is changing your avatar to the most recently released Wii or DS game on the scene. Or lolcat pictures. Both will suffice.
