Title: New Avatars - 80s style Post by: clockworkcanary on March 19, 2008, 02:25:58 PM Every once in awhile I like to submit new avatars to the site and I figured I haven't done it for awhile...so here's some from the 80s (all near size of 100x100 jpgs):

Awesome! *lol* Title: Re: New Avatars - 80s style Post by: clockworkcanary on March 21, 2008, 07:28:40 AM Hehe thanx! Karma points for anyone who tries (or can) name what each image represents without cheating (looking at the image name). Some are easy but a couple are difficult.
I'll be adding some more not necessarily 80s avatar samples pretty soon. Title: Re: New Avatars - 80s style Post by: RCMerchant on March 21, 2008, 09:44:07 AM Hehe thanx! Karma points for anyone who tries (or can) name what each image represents without cheating (looking at the image name). Some are easy but a couple are difficult. I'm gonna try that test....I'll be adding some more not necessarily 80s avatar samples pretty soon. Hmmm...#1-dunno. #2-Mr.T #3-Flock of Seagulls- ...and I ran...I ran so far away... heh. #4-Punky Brewster-ugh. #5-Devo (?) #6-Max,of ccccccc-course! #7-Police Acadamy! #8-Count Duckula #9-dunno #10-Thundercats #11-EDDIE! #12-Video Killed the Radio Star ? #13-Danger Mouse (duh) #14-dunno #15-Megadeth!!!! :thumbup: #16-Motley Crue. I never liked this talentless rip-off of KISS. And callin' a band a talentless rip off of KISS is as low as a band can get...as KISS wasn't much beyond make-up and stage show. Early kiss...ok. Later...meh. #17-??? #18-some dink. #19-Dee Snyder. Whatta clown! And I mean that in a good way. I like Dee Snyder! #20-Slade...ooops...I mean Quite Riot. #21-Transformers. #22-looks like the gas tank of a motorcycle. Dunno. #23-Tron #24-A He-Man villian? Oh well...I gave it a shot! My favorite of the bunch...Dee Snyder. That guy cracks me up! :thumbup: Title: Re: New Avatars - 80s style Post by: clockworkcanary on March 21, 2008, 10:31:18 AM Karma for a good try - got most of 'em - like I said - some were harder than others. Tron isn't correct though -but it was definitely ripped off of Tron. LOL at motorcycle gas tank! hahahaha -that's not quite right either but damn that's funny! And great job with Devo -I thought that one was a bit obscure.
"Early kiss...ok. Later...meh." -definitely agree with that - I still love the "Hotter than Hell album" but I'm "meh" with about anything after "Destroyer" Title: Re: New Avatars - 80s style Post by: RCMerchant on March 21, 2008, 02:17:54 PM I was doing a lotta "partying" in the 80's....(Turned turned 20 in '82) and I do mean a LOT...so my memories of that decade are slooshed with whiskey and other substances.....I'm surprised I remember any thing at all. I actually have clearer memories of the "70's and 60's when I was a teen and youngin' than the 80's!!!!
Title: Re: New Avatars - 80s style Post by: AnubisVonMojo on March 21, 2008, 02:35:15 PM Okay, taking a stab at filling in some of the ones RC missed:
(1) - The Baroness from GI Joe (9) - Cheetara from Thundercats (14) - You Can't Do That On Television (17) - Uhm, I think this is from a music video called something like "Do You Hear Me?" (22) - is that something from Battlestar Galactica? Or Buck Rogers? (24) - Beastman Title: Re: New Avatars - 80s style Post by: clockworkcanary on March 21, 2008, 03:25:40 PM Karma for that! Hahah yes those are all right except 22. 17 is close enough - it's Missing Person's "Words" but the first line of the song is "do you hear me...do you care"
22 is kinda hard w/o the context but I'll give you a hint - it was about a group of guys on a boat. Oh and the second to last one is "Automan" Title: Re: New Avatars - 80s style Post by: Allhallowsday on March 21, 2008, 06:53:36 PM So is #22 from COCOON?
Title: Re: New Avatars - 80s style Post by: soylentgreen on March 22, 2008, 02:50:28 PM Well #23 is AutoMan.
And I would've been wrong on #3 had I guessed before RC. I thought it was Martin Gore. :) Title: Re: New Avatars - 80s style Post by: akiratubo on March 22, 2008, 04:02:40 PM 1st Row

Title: Re: New Avatars - 80s style Post by: RCMerchant on March 23, 2008, 09:27:51 AM Did nobody get the Roboz from Riptide? I'm shocked. The gas tank thing? I remember RIP TIDE....but not the robot thingy....of course...being the 80's,I didn't watch a lotta network TV.
