Whatever Matt Feels Like Posting

As I've mentioned a while back, I plan on replacing some of my userpics with more legible versions. (even though I've procrastinated that for probably at least a year now...)

Since I knew that doing that will cause me to lose track of what order I added my userpics, I kept a list of my userpics in my profile in order added - but I'm starting to run out of room on my profile now, so I moved it here and reformatted it into a table that hopefully looks better than the old layout.

Note that this excludes the following:
- Old versions of these userpics
- Alternate versions of some of these that I made to protest SOPA/PIPA/ACTA/etc. a few years ago

( Here they are! )

A webcomic I just found that recaps each episode of The X-Files in 12 panels. Usually updates every Friday and is up to S2E21 so far.

For me, it's a bit hard to tell whether the author likes or hates the show in general, given that there's comments about the show or certain episodes being great AND remarks about Scully being in peril a lot in the early seasons and things like that in the annotations, but this is still a funny comic so far :)

Stare disapprovingly

YES! I had a feeling they would listen to Wikipedia, Google, and so on! Dunno if anyone in Congress saw some of my replaced userpics too, but I'll keep pretending they did :P

Starting tomorrow, I'm gonna change the userpics I did manage to replace back to normal, although the darkened versions will remain in my userpic space until a) we find out for sure that the compromise won't be just as bad (which I doubt it will, but still...) or b) I run out of room for normal userpics (which will take a while, as I'd need over 120 more for that to happen).

I'll also continue to make more, because even if SOPA did not ruin my life by making it impossible to ever finish my creative vortexes, the darkened userpics still count as at least 300* new creative vortexes that I've gotta get rid of. They just won't be my highest priority for now.

To celebrate, I'm gonna type as many words and phrases that SOPA's too-vague wording could have cracked down on my use of despite them being fair use or not even trademarked as I can in 10 minutes:

Time's up. I managed 172 (if I counted right), although there were a few times that I paused because what first came to mind would have been a bizarre juxtaposition had I written it down right away (though apparently not always, as I put Mocorono Nodle next to Bilbo, Pac-Man next to Celine Dion and Grey's Anatomy next to Dr. Octagonapus & Watch).

*It's been a while since I counted how many unmade normal userpic ideas I have and added them to the amount I've already uploaded...

For you X-Philes out there (with the truth, hopefully):



:D

Believe the lie...and repost it

Since I included ᔕჷ :ʇᴉɯᴉƮ pǝǝdS in my userpic polls even though I had already made it (I just forgot to move it to the "recently made but not uploaded to LJ" list), and since I'm going to make some of these userpics whenever I have free time but don't feel like working on Moya's Space Log, I might as well include the already made userpics in the polls. The rest are still here and here.

Descriptions of new ideas:

BEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEP - From the X-Files episode "Three of a Kind": Scully, drugged up, says, "My medical opinion: BEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEP!" and claps
Conga of the Apocalypse - From the Strong Bad's Cool Game for Attractive People episode Homestar Ruiner: the Drive-Thru Whale says, "When the End Times come, we will all dance the Conga of the Apocalypse."
Dead Cows are Boring - From the X-Files episode "Bad Blood": Scully is not paying attention to Mulder's slides and says, "Dead cows are SOOOOO boring!"
Doubting Luma - a lemon yellow Luma says to Mario, "We have faith that you'll beat that monster, Mario! Uh, you will, right?!"
Green Pipe - Bowser says, "Why don't you just run off and go find some green pipe to hide in?!"
He Comes at You With a Knife and--BANANA CREAM! - Clyde Bruckman predicting how Mulder will die in the X-Files episode "Clyde Bruckman's Final Repose"
If You Drink This, You Will Vomit a Wedding - From the advertisement for Powerthirst
No, YOU'RE Infected! - From the X-Files episode "Ice": Mulder & Scully hold each other at gunpoint, alternating saying, "No, YOU'RE infected!"
Xhoe-Files - Another one from Bad Blood: Mulder points to a guy's shoes and says, "THIS MAN'S SHOES ARE UNTIED!"
ΔΧΧΔΔΧ?! - the first thing Master Luma says in Super Mario Galaxy 2
