Rate the guy above's avatar

[ryodoan]

9/10 for the 8-bit goodness.

[VelvetFistIronGlove]

Dead tree? Stark, recognisable, and simple, ... but ultimately a bit boring

5/10

[Shmitz]

9/10

Simple, iconic, great use of colors, and nice illustrative style.

[phatal]

No one rated Youme's avatar but himself so I'll do so. It's a nice avatar but looks a bit like Daria.

8/10

lol daria

Phatals is quite good, looks like the blue guy from Xmen (or the blue guy from underworld)
I like it but its a bit low quality. 7/10 (unconventional shape lowers mark too)

[MacNetron]

Everytime I look at Youme's avatar, I have to think of Neill from the Young Ones.
But Youme has got glasses, and like phatal, he keeps look at you... scary! -> 8/10


Before anyone rates me, lets do a bit of background.
First, you should know that a microwave in Dutch is a "magnetron".
Second, a Dutch comedian made an animated cartoon of MacBeth. In there, there is a pun by a fool, while being sent to the stake: how do you call a Scot on a stake? A macnetron!
Last, orange is the national color of the Dutch.
Those things combined make my avatar. And you can still flame it of course

EDIT: oh, and pronouncing, the accent is on 'Mac', certainly not 'Ne'.

Unconventional shape? lol. It's 16:9 which is HIGH DEF BABY.

It's actually the man on the box for my BFG 8800 GTX.

I do believe you've got aspect ratio and resolution mized up, 16:9 is the aspect ration, which makes it widescreen not high definition, a high resolution which is pretty much anything over 1920×1080 is high def

Umm... yeah. That was more of a joke than anything Youme.

If you want to talk technical however, anything above 1920x1080 (1080i/p) is NOT the minimum you can have for high def, 1280×720 is the minimum (720i/p) with a 16:9 aspect. You can have 720x480 (480i/p) as well for high def but the aspect is only 3:2.
