SHMUPS Picture Week VI: Change your avatar and show yourself

[Herr Schatten]

It's time again for one of the finest traditions of the shmups community, the annual picture week. I know we're a little late this year, but there's no hiding anymore now. Make sure to take part in the social event of the season:

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 four picture week threads for reference (the first one got lost in the forum crash):
SHMUPS Picture week 5
SHMUPS Picture Week 4
SHMUPS Picture Week 3
SHMUPS Picture Week 2

No need to be shy. Let the (shmup) world see your faces!

Picture might be one year old. Hair is still (or again ) that long. Needs to be shortened a bit soon.

Hair is still (or again ) that long.

I actually used to wear my hair that long maybe 15 years ago. I cut it off when it started to annoy me.

[Doctor Fugue]

How convenient, I had a photo shoot last week.

[Jockel]

Actually just a few days ago i was thinking of this tradition.

Well yeah sometimes it is annoying, so I often wear my hair as ponytail.

Avatar now updated, too. Doesn´t look too well, but still ok. And I was thinking about chosing another toad pic anyway...

[ZacharyB]

This pic I also use for Twitter is several years old. I have less hair now.

The scenery displayed is around Nyack, NY.

[EPS21]

Well heck my avatar is already a pic of me! Too busy having a shmupgasm to face the camera though

[KMM]

Boring picture of me from Halloween, holding one of the games I picked up on Halloween. I have no idea how my glasses were so crooked there.

[Jockel]

Did you dress up as Dahmer?

[spadgy]

One year's past and I'm still a tit!

What did I tell ya, all the Toms are the coolest bastards ever.

This picture is several years old, IIRC, and I'm somewhat embarrassed of it, but everyone harassed me, so here it is.



I'll have to get a good one for you hoes this week. I'm thinking about getting a haircut; it's getting kind of long at the moment.

I have a pic in one of the previous years linked in the first post, haven't taken another picture since.

Where's all the darn freaking asians? My friend lied to me. He said, "you gotta be asian to play these kind of game well." It's all a frickin' lie.

[spadgy]

That is the fucking sex.

[Skykid]

That is the fucking sex.

I know Spadge, but what about the city?
