Playing Games: A long-overdue icon thing.

[silveradept]

I believe I owe lexicalcrow a long-overdue icons explanation. So, here we go.


SA-Name: The apparent jumble of strokes making a lily on a pond contains all the letters in my username. They're all there, believe it or not. It's a very tranquil sort of usericon.


Gamera: A giant turtle plans on taking on all comers. I believe I was introduced to it by sharkcowsheep, if not having stolen it from them.


1UP Mushroom: The promise of new life eternal in Super Mario Brothers games. Often in the news rotation, as I see the cyclical nature of my posts as much the same thing - another life posted on the blog today.


Heartless: The insignia of the villains of the first Kingdom Hearts game - the shadows of beings left when their hearts are removed from them. When I'm in a particularly hostile mood, the Heartless icon (and it's companion, the Organization XIII logo) show up more in the rotation.


Blue Rain: It's not actually rain. I forget what 2dlife said it really was, but it always reminds me of rain, and it's blue. It's for more contemplative exercises that don't have a tinge of depression associated with them (That's Charlie Brown.)


Pigeon Head: Mo Willems' endearing character, Pigeon. I have them, but I haven't always used the Pigeon icons - perhaps because I haven't figured out what their mood or their subject matter is. Maybe if I devoted full posts to things about my professional career or something - then again, I also have the READ! Chicks Dig It icon. It's nice to have some options.
