Picture Thread (56k beware)

Post some pics of yourselves. No! Not those pics! The ones that won't get Lep arrested. Head and shoulder shots are typically the best. To get things started, here's a photo of me that appeared in our school paper's story on pirated music.



So um, if you post yours too, or just make fun of mine, then it'll be fun and we can be like all the other forums with a thread like this.

cash m8, You look absolutely bloody nothing like I expected.

Id post pics of myself but I dont keep photos/images of myself in any form, No school photos no recent photos, Nothing.

Saidly I dont got a pic yet - Soon hopefully.

I don't have a picture, but here is a little quicktime video clip from a physics class I had last year

http://physics.pacificu.edu/KarateMovies/karatemovies02/movies/Obadiah.mov

 

I'll try to dig up a photo later.

We've had several of these threads before and I've never gotten around to posting.  I shall make amends.

Me doing stuff I like:





 

And, er, me eating rice crispy cakes (family cropped out of this - I don't post other people without permission):



 

Continuing the theme, I offer this accidental movie clip: http://snarkpit.com/pits/gollum/Glutton.zip

Me working in the lab on a very bad hair day

 those Paul McCartney  wannabe accents kill me..

who ever was talking, while you stuffed your face, had me rolling :biggrin:

That was one of my friends Andrew; incidentally, he is one of the most ascerbic wits I have ever encountered.  Try to imagine that voice pouring scorn on some hapless victim.....

Yes, I sort of imagined him more as a dancing monkey than anything else.

I'll post a picture whenever my roommate gets back and takes a one of me.

Heres one for ya Orph. Me on the set of Enterprise. (Yes I played on the bridge and sat in tha captains chair but it was too dark for photo flashing, they were shooting right next door).

I'm afraid I suffer from a medical condition known as blurritis.

(Yes, that's my finger... You sickos. )

I sure hope that's your middle finger there

Juim, you look ironically like the dashing Will Riker from Star Trek.

i know its kinda rude, but it just has me in stitches to hear the accents from over there.. the US has almost as many of them as it has states (could be the fact that most states are bigger than the whole freakin country over there :biggrin: ) but every time i hear someone talking from there, it all sounds the same.. a bunch of Beatles wannabes

its just rare to come across it over here, i have an advantage of travel with my job, and i hear them all...

new york and new jersey are the worse.. maine is my favorite..

california has several all their own, most suck... and georgia.. only sucks a little bit :heee:

the US sure has a bunch of them tho :smile:

Ok, here is my MUG:



and another shot:

with everyones permission, i would like to save your pics for my album...

on a personal note, threads like this IMO help draw a community together, but it also poses questions, that under some circumstances might be construed wrongly..

for instance.. privacy aside... judging from the present pics posted, am i to take it that half-life is a Caucasian game only? yeah it really is unimportant, and i truly believe that, but it makes you wonder, are only white people comfortable posting pics of themselves.. true, any one of us could post fictitious images, but still why all of the same race and gender for that matter .. :/

another question one asks, now that i have a face to hook to the text, do i see them differently.. personally i have to say yes, not because i felt them inferior prior, but i have to respect someone more, whom trusts me with their realism...

i don't like anyone any less for not posting a pic, but i do see things differently with a face attached..

also, i have noticed one thing.. the images seem to depict people older than their words imply.. many of you talk/type IMO much younger than you are... that may be because i am almost 2 times older than most of you, but still.... i now see many of you as older than the mental image i had before today... is that a good thing?? well i guess thats really up to you now isn't it :biggrin:

And its me: Yes im on the wrong side of the country i should be on the west coast

 

Don't have any scanned pictures of just me, but here's one of me in Akihabara. (I'm the one in the back with the grey sweater) Orph, I'll scan you a different picture later that you could add to your album (probably one of myself and the Stanley Cup :biggrin: )

cough. I'm Asian, Orph. Of course you can't tell from my picture, but I made the unfortunate mistake of telling people my real name, in which case, you can easily tell.

Don't be afraid though. I don't have any of that "AzN PrYde" crap you see floating around in CS or whatnot.

I think maybe you are reading too much into the relative lack of diversity. after all, whites are the majority race in english speaking countries. this has been a very small population sample, and therefore statisticaly unfavorable for showing diversity.

as for the gender thing, how many women do you know who play halflife, let alone map? in my experience, even gals who enjoy video games don't go for bloody shooters. they are more apt to enjoy RTS, RPG, and adventure style gameplay.

totaly off topic:

 I just noticed this

if(frmAddMessage.message.value=='') alertmsg = 'You need to write a message..?'

if(alertmsg) { alert(alertmsg); return false }
return true;

bud, if you could name a race, that isn't someplace within my family i would kiss your butt on broadway..

i am prolly the one person you will ever meet, who never thinks about race first, or second, or at all for that matter when it comes to individuality..

as strange as that may sound, considering my narrow views on sexual orientation, i have always been of a mind, that racism is a self defeating outlook that never wins..

bottomline, you may retain your privacy, but you can always feel comfortable that, i for one couldn't care less what race you are, its whats on the inside that counts.. if you are cool, you are cool, if you are.. uncool, well you can guess :smile:

You've it it right there Orph. even if there werent a plethora of other reasons, this one is enough to render  racisim completly pointless, especialy in America. I couldn't tell you much of anything about my ancestory if my life depended on it. we are all mutts to one degree or another.

I dont know why, but when I saw grimlock I just said "Mr.Jazzz"

Only person thats ended up looking as I expected was Goll tbh.

Baha...Grimlock looks like one of those guys you'd see at Games Workshop, I don't know why exactly, but he just "does". :razz:

Here's the last one taken of me which was about a year ago with my nephue (sp?)

[simg]http://gimpinthesink.hlgaming.com/pics/Ben and Dale 2.jpg[/simg]

... who reminds me of that weirdo who won Fame Academy, in a strange way

Here's me doing what I like best too, gurning:

lol Gimp actually looks like his aviatar... No that this is a bad thing.. And lep you look nothing like i expectied. Nothing at all. Sometimes I believed u would look like u have lepercy hahaha

*Artist rendition
**Not to scale
***Color ommited

I'll post a real one up soon, need to steal my friends dig it all camera.

not that I'm trying to boast or anything.  I'm the one in the glider.  It's the most recent picture taken of me.  The last as taken almost 3 years before.

Ok, now to make fun of everyone (as of course that is the point)

Orph - you look like a drugged out guy about to be wheeled into kidney surgery

Gollum - why are you climbing around inside someone's small intestine?

Tracer Bullet - sorry, no witty comments, that's too close to what I wish my biochemistry courses actually were like

Juim - apparentally you need to see yourself all the time so you carry a picture of yourself around attached to your shirt

Campaignjunkie - who are you, Barbra Streisand?

Grimlock - I would think there's a better place for your studio than in the middle of a forest

Crackerjack - Dude, where's my camera?

Gorb - I'd make fun of you, but I can't stop laughing at the incredibly jetlagged guy in front of you.

Gimp - your nephew appears to be the spawn of satan, or at least some sort of feral hell creature

Lep - Wow, I didn't realize your condition was so bad your head has slid down to being horizontal. Must be tough walking.

Monqui - I really expected no less

Wildcard - I hope you wake up before take off...

CCS - Who told you you could be a pirate anyway?

 



Terrible picture of me from about a week ago, three in the morning, trying to impress a girl. Of course, I will never be hitting on you fellas, so don't worry about that beautiful expression on my face.

PS Lep, you're a haaandsome devil.

[EDIT] Looking at this picture, I see that it looks like I've got tits, huge time... However, I weigh 140 pounds, so that's somewhat impossible.

Cassius, I had always figured you were a bitter old man and not an angsty hormone driven teenager And, er, thanks for saying you won't hit on us. Gaydar was making some alarm sounds just then... :razz:

Cass looks like my lil brother.

lol korn where's the pic of you? =P

/me gets off ass and walks 3 metres away to photo album to look for photo to scan

ok this one's of me about 2 years ago, i've grown a lot and changed a lot since then but i can't find a more recent photo... you can laugh but i promise you i look a lot different now :razz:

I dont keep photos of myself ever m8.

Oh god photos. Alas I am the least photogenic person ever and most pics of me tend to get taken when I am.. er somewhat the worse for wear. Still here ya go:



Apologies for size and whatnot, I just nabbed it from a similar thread over in the TS forums. Thats my room in Uni, taken about a week or two ago and hence minus my lovely new mouse. I'm 21 BTW and am fully aware I don't look it.

bleh... only recent pictures I have are from my s**tty webcam... if anyone can tell me how to fix the blurriness and sparkliness, I would greatly appreciate it :smile:

Dietz said:

i do not intend this as mean as it sounds, but the answer is, ditch the webcam.. of all the pics i have seen taken with them, its a common issue..

i use my digi-camera, which doubles as a webcam, and the shots are at least as clear as the images i posted in the other thread, about the textures..

the main issue, at least the way i understand it is, the low light and the fact that it is flickering at 120 times a second, royally screws with the conventional webcam.. plus the fact that most webcams optimize the images to shoot them over the net as easily as possible.. they don't do a very good job BTW..

anyways, theres my 2 cents.. take it or leave it :smile:

That's kind of what I had concluded...

Dietz...

You scare the s**t out of me. How tall are you?

6'2 195 lbs... i'm leaning back in a chair there....

Here I am

More poor insults

Cassius: That's one weird shaped photo. I'm not even gonna ask what's going on in the cropped-out portion.

2dmin: I think I saw you on Nickelodeon once...

Schmung: Beer in a coca-cola glass? That's like putting a real car engine in a power wheels...

Dietz: I think you buy your shirts a few sizes too small just to look tough.

Rumple: I see you have your glasses just in case you get that phone call that Keanu Reeves is on his deathbed and they need someone to play Neo immediately.

s**t Dietz, you and me are the biggest ones here... 6'1, though I don't look it in the photo. I'm in the mood to kick CCS' ass (notice how he makes fun of everyone else's pictures while neglecting to post his own).

Dude, that was me in the first shot. Just cause I'm dressed like a pirate doesn't make it any less me...

I'm 6' 3" btw.

6'1"/6'2" here.

not vain enough to measure my height or weight :razz:

Hmm, my money is on the pirate winning.
