SHMUPS Picture Week VIII: Change your avatar, show yourself

[Twiddle]

also greg isn't there a post from cuilan you're supposed to respond to or is he just part of a long list of "undesirables" you disregard because eww non-heterosexual white males

[greg]

And you still have that New Age medicine to shill for.

I saw your ignorance, so I just ignored it. Naturopathic medicine has nothing to do with New Age medicine.

So where's your picture, Twiddle? Or did you just come here to troll and be a d-bag as always? You're just as cantankerous as Shoe-sama was, except maybe slightly more mentally stable.

If they can live healthy lives that way without choosing one sex over the other, then I think that would further disprove what greg has been saying.

Hey, from what you've said, much of the adverse health effects are exactly what you're aiming for, so go nuts. Knock yourself out. As long as you don't go down the "it puts the lotion in the basket" route, I can care less.

greg calling someone a douchebag; priceless.

Yeah "not being heteronormative" "male not being male" those are serious adverse health effects.

Or are you still confusing bodybuilding steroids with hormones?

[burgerkingdiamond]

It puts the lotion on the skin or else it gets the hose again...

I'm loving this thread. It's all over the place.

I guess I shouldn't hold my breath for Elixir to post up a pic. Come on guy.

^You just Counterstopped your posts burgerkingdiamond

[Twiddle]

also heteronormative white males are magnitudes more likely to be serial killers so are we going to have to watch you go ted bundy very slowly, greg?

luring college-age women into your van?

Oh shit 1000 posts. I don't know whether to laugh or cry. That number would probably be about 25% of what it is now if I didn't sit in front of a computer at work all day.

Bonus Pic:


this is from 2007 I guess. The long hair is all gone now.

Hey, from what you've said, much of the adverse health effects are exactly what you're aiming for...

I guess you forgot the part where I said I was taking a relatively normal dose under medical supervision. It's been 2 years since I started and I'm quite healthy.

As long as you don't go down the "it puts the lotion in the basket" route...

Implying transsexuals are psychopaths? Classy.

I can care less.

It's nice to know you care enough to care less! <3

...or did you mean to say "I can't care less"?

I must commend you for correcting "I could care less" ------------> "I COULDN'T care less".

That's a pet peeve of mine.

How can there be such thing as a "normal" dose of female hormones for a male?

[Cuilan]

"Normal" dose of female hormones for a human. There's a reason I said "relatively".

[Skykid]

I can care less.

...or did you mean to say "I can't care less"?

Yeah ouch. That's a double language fail. You lose 10 oestrogen points. Do not go to the clinic and do not collect hormones on passing go.

And what's the with all the gregbashing? Can't we have a civilised conversation about the artificial metamorphosis of the male body just once for a change?! Huh? HUH?!

Well we'd have a civilized discussion if there weren't people who were just looking to pepper thinly-veiled insults at others for how they live their lives. IE greg.

Eh, I didn't notice any thinly veiled insults tbh. If anything I thought he sounded pretty genuine re: "the drugs r' bad mmkay" comment.

He's not well known for vitriol. You should probably take that into account.

He is well known for being a Christian and standing by his values however, and, as I have spoken to him at length, I don't believe homosexuals are sinners because I'm not religious.

I also don't believe you can teach a gay man to be straight without putting them in the Clockwork Orange hot chair until they vomit every time they see a cock.

Considering his arrogance in past topics similar to these you're pretty sadly mistaken.

[spadgy]

It's getting way off topic for too much of the thread now. Come on folks; let's see some more pictures of you (and hopefully some to outdo hzt and plasmo in the insane department!).

That is frame-worthy! Not so often does one capture their "glory days" like that! +1!

C'mon man! Pray away the gay!

Seriously though, while I might a bit biased I'm with Skykid. Greg has his beliefs (which I generally do not share) and he will stand by them but with the exception of the Buffalo Bill parallel which I can see Cuilan taking issue with i don't see bigotry or general dickishness in his posts. Fighter17 he is not. I was actually happy to see the forum members so open minded and accepting considering the effect internet anonymity seems to have on some people.

[Twiddle]

that's pretty obvious bigotry right there, actually.

Also Elixir would rather post Etrian's picture than his own.

[RNGmaster]

How do you explain hermaphrodites?

I didn't mention them since I'm not that familiar with the condition. Since they usually have both sets of sex organs, I'd assume that their hormone levels are also "somewhere in between" by default. If they can live healthy lives that way without choosing one sex over the other, then I think that would further disprove what greg has been saying.

SO CUILAN WHO IS THE SEXIEST MAN HERE?

I'm actually a private person, I'd rather not. Also I don't even know if Etrian still comes here.

I think he's too ugly for even the toughest of camera lenses.

Actually, as this pic is already here on the forum, I guess it's OK to post this one of Skykid impressing (L-R) Brother George, hzt, smaredis, Icarus and CHI with a bit of Futari 1.5 (This post also has lots of pictures of the Casino arcade crew, as does most of pages five and six in the thread that post is part of):



Oh, and here's a rare picture of hzt's massively long arm (honestly not a set up picture):



And undamned – while I've seen them before I love those pictures of you inside various ridiculous robots!

[Skykid]

Yo I'm right here! I wasn't going to bother this year (did it every other one) but what the hell. It does require me to find pictures from my recent shmup meet where I don't look like I've just fallen out of bed.

I need some cheering up.

[Ruldra]

If we're gonna see Rob, then I want to see him ice fishing next to his igloo.

[Obiwanshinobi]

Oh, and here's a rare picture of hzt's massively long arm (honestly not a set up picture):

Is hzt's T-shirt tucked in, or does it just look like that on the pic? If the former, I suggest to untuck it.

[spadgy]

That man is so damn cool, he can wear it any way and make the rest of us look awful!

EDIT: Obiwanshinobi - hzt's the one in the striped top, by the way. Were you talking about MX7?

I'd go with PinkSweets, but since he hasn't posted his pic in this thread...

It's a tie between Jockel and rancor.

Eh, I didn't notice any thinly veiled insults tbh. If anything I thought he sounded pretty genuine re: "the drugs r' bad mmkay" comment.

He asks which hormones I'm taking (even though it was clearly obvious and he later demonstrated that he knew all along), he then implies that I'm taking them for "entertainment value", then in the same post states that he's not trying to be a jerk, and finally equates transsexuals to psychopathic serial killers.

But due to a few of your comments in this thread and that previous one (for example, implying that anime is the reason why I decided to take hormones), I guess it shouldn't surprise me that you can't see how all that can be viewed as at least a little insulting. You were probably just joking around, but I have a strong feeling that greg isn't joking, especially after...

He is well known for being a Christian and standing by his values however...

I was not aware of this. It all makes a lot of sense now though.

hey guys what's going on in this thread
