Mine is so secret no one will ever guess it's origin
lol :D

As for mine, JKII and Quake are good guesses, but both wrong. It's from Unreal Tournament 2003. The image is actually a rotation of a freeze-framed battle in the interior of one of the bases.

It's blurry, but there's a larger (almost 600kb) version here: http://www.thaworx.co.uk/img/ctf-face.gif

That's okay Rico, I cheated on my guess anyway. Right clicking your icon shows the filename to be "ctf-avatar.gif". I figured CTF probably stood for "capture the flag", which is popular on those types of 1st person shooters. I shoulda guessed the other one. :)

Flack

Ermm... well... my avatar is... me ;)
I think that's what they're supposed to be. Too bad few people use their real faces, eh? :)

I just uploaded mine but switching it from bitmap to jpg made it smell (well actually it made it look a bit dodgy). Does anyone have any hints for avoiding that sort of thing?
 
Yes. Either use gif/png (both don't mess up the original image) or resave as jpeg with better quality (lower compression).

p.s. gif/png offer transparency, too, so your avatar wouldn't have a white bg.
