If there's one thing that history has taught us about things with cute, harmless faces, it's that they can take over the world in an instant.
I think that only happened with Gigglepies, or the bunny form of Carebears in some cartoon I watched. In all seriousness, I really don't think an armatar, that is coded to be a picture and a picture only, will do any notable harm to those that use it. I got nothing on the fact that it's creepy to some people, though.
Patrick, you just sucked all the fun right out the room...
The cuteness of the armatar is fun enough, especially when people switch to it. In fact, I might give in to the cuteness of the new armatar. However, I will probably wait until tomorrow to do so (if I do so).
It will NEVER happen to me. Instead, I will keep the mosquito armatar for now.
It is pretty cute, but I'm not giving in for now.
I think I'm seeing a pattern here. You're going to go pink on us. It's only a matter of time...
Armatars are images and the Nitrome logo is bright by itself, especially if your computer is set to a high brightness.
It's watching you and you know it. You're just in the denial phase.
getting the screen wet is bad.
Does this mean I shouldn't dump a 5-gallon bucket of water on my monitor to clean it?
Armatars never need food, and you can't feed an image, so feeding an armatar is impossible anyway, including after midnight.
Does this mean the meatloaf I keep giving it (before midnight of course) is just being wasted? That would explain why there's still so much of it all over the screen.
Maybe not for you, but facepalming so many messages is hard on the neck, so my suggestion is to just dial the seriousness down a couple hundred notches.
Not that people haven't suggested you do that before.
