This might have been done before, but I figured one of these was needed due to all the artsy-fartsy/obscure reference/inside joke sigs and avatars that reside next to our posts.

My avatar is a rather pixilated stolen GIF of Potemayo from the anime Potemayo dancing around in the OP. My signature is the strip "A Good Walk Spoiled" from Bill Griffith's excellent newspaper comic strip Zippy the Pinhead, with colors reversed and forum name inserted. Ironically, Bill Griffith is a really dull baby-boomer archetype in person.

Now for yours?

Avatar is my favorite game.

Sig is just a clever tribute to my favorite videogames forum.

I liked Batman better.

Mine is from Darius, the wacky ending. I haven't come across a better one yet, so why bother? Well, no, let's see if we can change it tonight.

My sig is from Knytt.

I think it represents SB perfectly - two strange creatures shaking fists at each other from opposite sides of a pixelated gap while an onlooker stands by helplessly

IT'S SO BRILLIANT YOU GUYS OMG

I hate how you all have anime-based avatars because it makes using public computers embarassing.

My sig/avatar combo shows off the most badass gunship/transport helicopter of all time.

It's only weakness: American-supplied Stinger missiles in the hands of angry Afghanis.

Weeabooing the fuck out, over here. I'd change it, but have been having some good luck while using it, so why break a good streak.

I have previously used:

Sig is something Rya actually said in the Insert Credit IRC room. I had an Ico sig that went along with these on the IC board but I lost the source image.

I totally forgot which character that guy was. Walnut? I knew it was PB, but the only characters I really remember are Ash, Marona, Scarlet, and Sprout.
