Attached Link: ZIM!

I'm glad you explained because that was one game I missed in my youth. I figured it was something like that, hehehe. Mine is a characted from the cartoon, Invader Zim. The "green dog" on the pig's back is Zim's sidekick robot GIR in his Earth disguise. It is quite an outrageous and funny cartoon, I highly recommend renting or buying it on DVD since it is no longer on TV. I animated the avatar to give it a little ZING. I enjoyed everyone's avatars as well, esp. the more creative ones. I don't plan on always using the same one, and hope other feel like the occasional change as well. _________ ***avatar:** 1. The incarnation of a Hindu deity, especially Vishnu, in human or animal form. 2. An embodiment, as of a quality or concept; an archetype: the very avatar of cunning. 3. A temporary manifestation or aspect of a continuing entity: occultism in its present avatar. 4. An image representing a user in amulti-user virtual reality (or VR-like, in the case of Palace) space. 5. (CMU, Tektronix) root, superuser. There are quite a few Unix computers on which the name of the superuser account is "avatar" rather than "root". This quirk was originated by a CMU hacker who disliked the term "superuser", and was propagated through an ex-CMU hacker at Tektronix.*
