True Fortress Ameritrash Confessions

until yesterday I thought Bull Nakano's avatar was, like, some kind of Aztec dude and now I feel super dumb

I thought the exact same thing until I randomly clicked on it one day.

Poland.

I can't count how many times I've glanced at an avatar and my mind forms this image of my own creation...Only to really look at it later and realize just how wrong I was. Malloc's avatar I glanced at and saw an Albino Water Buffalo grazing in a field, until one day I looked closer and realized it was a robot with a solar glare.

Being the sheltered child that I was, I assume that every reference/avatar I don't recognize is referring to some goofy bit of 1970s/1980s kitsch that is now too obscure for me to look up, but not obscure enough that everyone else won't understand it.

It's not an Aztec? My whole F:AT experience has been thrown into confusion.

What's the matter with everyone? You're supposed to be making confessions (true ones!). Here are five quick ones off the top of my head:


I thought that Mike Barnes' previous avatar was him.


I was very intimidated by this site in the first couple weeks I was here. Some of my friends who I've tried to bring here have described that feeling as, "it feels like going to a party where I don't know anyone"


I think that uba doesn't like me


I've tried 'using' the film that samoko's avatar is from and was unsuccessful


When one of Repo's 5-second reviews squashes one of mine off the front page, my blood pressure rises. I don't know why that is. I like his articles.

I've seen actual pictures of Barnes, and my brain rejects them for not looking enough like Mark E. Smith.

F:AT Confessions?

Well lets see...

I hate Arkham Horror. Just do. I find it dull as dishwater. The C'thulu theme does absolutely zero for me.

When one of Barney's reviews squashed one of mine off the front page, my blood pressure rises. I do know why that is. It's because I'm an ego maniac.

I thought "Gary Sax" was Gary Sax's real name. It isn't.

I still think Von Tush's avatar is Mr. Roboto.

There is no "Luce, American Hero" counter in Combat Commander...my avatar is just a flawless photoshop.
