Is it possible to die from boredom? I think I'm about to find out really soon. Anyway, this is my icon history in case you forgot who I was.

– My first avatar I found in GameSpot as the display name, edgemeister. Please don't laugh. I was a GS n00b at the time, still trying the concepts of posting and forums. My first union I was in was called the GTA Legends Union. I met a lot of friends there and are still great friends right now.

– I don't know why I chose this avatar. I never even had Area 51. I found it on GS and I thought moving icons were cool but I didn't know how to get them on my avatar space. Yeah, I was that much of a n00b back then. I still may be, I'm not sure…

– I found this James Bond icon google searching. This picture is seen when choosing a character in multiplayer mode in Goldeneye 007 for the N64. That game kicks ass; I'm playing it right now!

– I finally found out how to add your own avatars on GS. I was web browsing and I found a website called Photobucket. It is an image hosting website. I found this James Bond Icon at Original AIM Icons.com. I put it in my Photobucket, (still with the name edgemeister), and I copy and pasted the url for my avatar to my personal icon page in my GameSpot profile page. The reason I choose this icon was because keiblerfan69 promoted me (thanks again dude) in The James Bond Union. (aka the union with many leaders.)

– I had this icon for a short time. Like 30 minutes.

– I requested for an Edge blinky icon at the World Wrestling Everything Union. hbk91found it for me. Thanks again dude.

– This is, yet another, pro-wrestler. His name is Michael Bucci aka Nova aka Simon Dean.

– This is, (yes, you guessed it), another pro-wrestler. His name is Bill Goldberg. I was a big fan of him until he got released.

– This is Myles Kennedy of Alter Bridge. I found it at the AlterBridge.net forums.

– This is also Myles Kennedy of Alter Bridge in the Broken Wings music video. And I also found it at the AlterBridge.net forums. Someone named Kristen made it. Thanks again Kristen. *thumbs up*

– This is another Myles Kennedy icon I found google searching.

– I found this Super Smash Bros. icon google searching. I thought it looked cool so I put it as my avatar.

– I'm currently using this icon until I find out how to make gifs from music videos.
