New Frog:



This is a big deal for me. I have had Old Frog as my avatar for more than five years.

New one is cool. Keep the old around, switch it out every once in a while.

New, but I've always meant to ask, if your username is SuperDuck, why do you have a frog as an avatar?

Frog != Duck

Hmm... tied four to four. Robo would be fun to draw as well, Magus is too obvious a choice for an avatar.

BTW, new Frog was done in GIMP with my new graphics tablet (digital stylus).

Why is Magus too obvious?

On a related note, I'm playing through the DS re-release of Chrono Trigger. I am excited to experience the added dungeons/ending that they included. Some of the re-localisation of the text makes me sad, though.

Magus the ultimate badass in the game, and outside of Chrono is the most obvious choice for something like an avatar - part of the fun of having Frog is that he's... Frog. It's a great suggestion, don't get me wrong.

On the subject, someone should do a poll for favorite SNES RPG.

My vote would go for Earthbound: The War Against Gigas.

I missed this before - the answer is: to keep the feds off my tail.

Voted for the old although the new isn't bad either. The frog just seems happier when it has some colours.

Inquiring minds want to know!!! Frogs are missing some critical qualities of duckness.

Super Duck

It's pretty good. A lot of subtle changes to the names of items and locations and stuff, but through-and-through it's still the same game, plus there are some added areas and an extra ending.

Someone had the aforementioned Super Duck as his avatar for a while... I want to say Big Wheel, but I think that's not right. I don't remember. Blackbird?

Sweet, I've not gone very far through it either, I only had it on a pc emulator, which ain't as good as a propper handheld, I hate keyboards.
