SHMUPS Picture Week VIII: Change your avatar, show yourself

[Herr Schatten]

Yes, it's time again for one of our finest forum traditions, the annual picture week.

For all the newcomers, who don't know what it's all about, here's the idea: Change your avatar to a picture of yourself and leave it that way until the end of next week (or as long as you desire). Alternatively (or additionally), post a picture of yourself in this thread.

Here are the last six picture week threads for reference (the first one got lost in the forum crash):
SHMUPS Picture Week 7
SHMUPS Picture Week 6
SHMUPS Picture Week 5
SHMUPS Picture Week 4
SHMUPS Picture Week 3
SHMUPS Picture Week 2

Past picture weeks have always been a ton of fun, so I hope that, once again, a great many of you will join in.

You're naked in most of your pictures.

[Jockel]

Already changed it for the "too close for comfort" theme.

Me and the child unit back in May at the dead center of Japan, Lake Suwa in Nagano-ken.

Sippin' tea and doing homework.

What with the swedish shirt?

Oh, well. Picture my gf took of me at monument valley, turned out pretty good.

My hair is much longer now, but here's when me, SinHo and sven666 traveled to Hamburg for an excellent shmup meet:



Pic taken at 6.30 in the morning. I paid for that sandwich and that beer with my VISA card, and the attendant had a look about him that "that's not a very cool thing to do". Deal with it!

Also, yeah, what's up with that shirt, Ruldra?

[Ruldra]

What with the swedish shirt?

My mother went to Sweden last year and brought that shirt to me as a souvenir. It's from the Vasamuseet.

[Stormwatch]

Since I either am butt-ugly or have serious self-esteem issues, here's a heavily shopped pic.

[Obiwanshinobi]

emphatic, last year I thought you were the frontman of the band Po Prostu. Sadly, nobody's wanna know what happened to the actual guy since then.

Cool. It says "From wreckage to world class" btw.

Why? I don't wear hats, and I never have styled facial hair. I don't get it.

[drauch]

Not changing my porn star icon. Beard is slightly bigger now. Need it to be huge.

Is that moonshine you're drinking?

Might have been this photo. Dunno, gave me a familiar vibe.
Don't know what your occupation is, but you have that sort of vis comica. It's pretty fucking rampant.

Drunk thread forever.

I think we were actually going to a shmupmeet this day, so I chose this one.

[RNGmaster]

Does your girlfriend have any 1cc's? This is important.

Trying to find a photo of myself that I haven't corrupted with Blingee. Hold on.

She's working on it She can get to stage 4 in Futari 1.5 fairly regularly. She kicks my ass at Bust-a-Move every single fucking time though.

And she asked me to get her a shirt that has "Dodonpachi" written in japanese down the front. Shes a keeper

Granted, if she's learning from me, she could probably do better. I have only 1cc'd TF3, Futari BL Original, and DFK Bomb 1-all on the iphone.

Don't worry though, I'm playing much more manly games now

[RNGmaster]

Family friend took this while I was talking. Unflattering, but I don't mind.

Wow... looks like you have Dick Clark's disease.

Dunpeal

Hold it! How do we know that dunpeal isn't actually the lady in that picture!? *taps some papers* Don't forget those womanly hands that appeared in dunpeal's trade thread...

As for me... I'll just cross post this photo from the recent MD shmupmeet =D. I'm the one on the far right.
