Pure Evil - Call for Donations

[Evil Avatar]

I'm getting ready to pay for the hosting costs for Evil Avatar.com for the next six months (Around $600.00). If anyone would like to contribute to this expense, please use the "Donate Today" button on the left side of the page. No amount is too small and I really appreciate any help you can give to cover these costs.

Totally off the topic of donations, I was bitten 4 times on Friday night by a black widow spider. I went to get some documents out of a pass-through trap and the little sucker climbed under my watch and just kept chomping away at me till the "itching" got so bad I took my watch off... and there he was.

Now three days later and it still hurts... a lot. I don't recommend it as a party activity, but at least it makes for interesting conversation.

[DeviantBoi]

Was it a radioactive spider, you know? Did it glow in the dark?

No, it didn't glow in the dark. But, the phrases I uttered to describe the situation may have made my partner's ears blush.

[Kelegacy]

He Who Will Become Spiderman!

Also, people who donate also get to have a custom tag under their Username, correct? Can't forget to let newcomers know about that incentive.

I'll be donating this month, too. I just received another royalty check for a novel I published a couple years ago.

[MSUStud911]

Just donated $5.00. I hope everyone donates something.

wow, that's pretty cool. who the hell are you, then?! we gonna find out you're, like, tom clancy or something?

EDIT: re: black widow: OW! i actually thought they were deadly?

[Evil Avatar]

EDIT: re: black widow: OW! i actually thought they were deadly?

Mostly for young children or really old people and/or if you get bit multiple times.

[RevGored]

Are we talking spider-black widow, or sexy, red headed Marvel supervillain black widow, because seriously, I probably wouldn't kick her out of bed for eating crackers, or my wrist.

[Noiz]

EDIT: re: black widow: OW! i actually thought they were deadly?

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Black_widow

They can be, but it's pretty rare apparently. Judging by the description of symptoms on Wikipedia it sounds like Evil has his spiders confused.

"[stuff about how the toxin spreads]. Most strongly affected are back, abdomen, and thigh muscle areas. The venom acts at the nerve ends to prevent relaxation of the muscle, causing tetany - or constant, strong, painful contractions of the muscles. Standard treatments usually involve symptomatic therapy with pain medication, muscle relaxants, and, rarely, antivenin. The venom does not typically cause problems at the bite site itself, unless a secondary skin infection occurs."

[bean19]

Mostly for young children or really old people and/or if you get bit multiple times.

You have seen a doctor about this right. Neurotoxic venoms can cause you health problems even if they do not cause death. You need an anti-toxin even if you are only experiencing pain.

[Heretic Machine]

Yergh <.< Wrong time to ask Evil. I go back to school this weekend... and that means I'll be spending around $350-$500 in books alone...

[Worldcrafter]

Bam, $25 for the site. Best money I've ever spent. Thanks for the site and all you do around here. And go see a doctor. If need be, we can set up donations for that ;)

[bapenguin]

Thanks to those who donate....if it wasn't for this site...somedays work would be intolerable.

[RanaMan]

Donated my hard earned $10.... but worth every penny... keep up the good work.

[if76]

I promise to donate as soon as I get a job. If all goes well that will be within the month.

[normyk]

ow! sucks about the spider.
*fondly recalls massive spider thread from a few years back*
*shudders*

donation incoming!

[Borys]

I promise to donate as soon as I get a job. If all goes well that will be within the month.

SAME.

I'll ship it from Europe by any means necessary. Just to get a job in 1-2 months...

[agentgray]

Black widow. Nasty. In my neck of the woods, we have the brown recluse. Sucker is worse than a black widow. It's venom will decay your flesh...literally...if goes unchecked.

My sister-in-law works in ambulatory and she has stories, frightening stories from these spiders.

[Kefkataran]

I'd donate in a second if I wasn't so strapped for cash right now. Still, expect something from me once I get that fat financial aid check.

[baz]

If I get the job I interviewed for today, I'll chip in $20 in pure happiness :D

[Himsa II]

Mostly for young children or really old people and/or if you get bit multiple times .

isnt that what happened to you?

[Kelegacy]

Good luck, baz!

[dorkus_malorkus]

Donated a fiver...I read this site quite often but post rarely.

Edit: I noticed above an incentive for donating. How do you know who donated? My paypal info is not linked to my login here, is it?

[RandomViolence]

$20 to ya Evil. I also have a few extraneous organs I've harvested that I'll ship to you for black market sale. That should keep the site running for a few years ;).

[cppcrusader]

Sometimes anti-venom makes things worse. There was a kid like 4 or 5 years old in Orlando a couple months back that got bit something like 6 or 7 times by a black widow. The doctors decided not to risk giving him the anti-venom because apparently the amount they needed to give him, and due to the child's young age, they actually ran the risk of his heart seizing. So they waited it out for the night and the kid actually pulled through.

Oh yeah, and second that on the brown recluse being worse. I'm not afraid of spiders, but damn am I afraid of getting bit by one of those. Also I should be able to make a donation here soon, provided these guys I'm freelancing for actually hire me fulltime like they say they're going to.

[Crispy951]

Ok cool, I got 10 dollars coming at you. Sorry it couldn't be more, but I start school in 2 days and even that 10 was alot of money to me right now, but I can't think of a better way to spend it.

[agentgray]

Just put your info in the PayPal comments box, I suppose.

I know in the past EA would give you a custom forum title if you donated. You'll have to confirm with him if that's the case.

[GigaFuzz]

$30 Donated. You caught me at a good time, getting paid after starting a new job recently.

Too late, I guess. I was just curious more than anything.

[Vilderen]

5$ heading your way... not a very active poster, but i like the site and even though I could probably block the pop-ups with FF ;), I would much rather want you to concentrate on giving us quality gaming news more than finding advertisements for the site.

[bapenguin]

Too late, I guess. I was just curious more than anything.

Just send him a PM let him know the PayPal addy you used and what your custom tag should be. No worries.

[RainOfTerror]

amazing how many jobless people there are here :)

[bean19]

Btw, any options for donating outside of Paypal?

I fear them.

[Kelegacy]

amazing how many jobless people there are here :)

The classic gamer stereotype...now found to actually NOT be a sterotype. It's a truism!

EDIT: I'm at work typing this. So, if you get a job, that doesnt necessarily mean you will be without EvAv. It's addicting, arguing with you muttonheads.

[Wonderdog]

I donated a few bucks. I would be interested in seeing your average on donations, not out of any malicious reasons, but I would like to see this site do well, considering it's a very good source of game industry related news.

[resikel]

Is there a P.O. Box option?

I too fear them.

[screwtape]

If you want to skip dinner tonight, go look up photos of brown recluse bites. Worse than a horror movie. I found one in my apartment once - I was paranoid for weeks afterwards.

Get better. I hope the spider bites don't affect you too much.

$25 for ya, Evil. I spend more time enjoying this site than I would enjoying a game for the same amount. I think a lot of us here are the same way.

[CylonLord]

Just sent $10 via PayPal, Evil. I don't think there's been a day in the past 2 or 3 years where I haven't checked out the EA site. Sorry it's not more, but things are a little tight right now.

Take care of that bite. I know how easy it is to get bit by those things out here in AZ. They seem to be in every dark crack and crevasse.

[Liquidize105]

Hey I hear RainOfTerror is hiring, everyone form an unemployment line at worthplaying!

I'm a little burnt out on my job so I'm on a lil break. Will donate as soon as I start up again.

[Cupelix]

I love this site to death, but if I donate again, can we get rid of that F.E.A.R. advertisement which sends my processor usage up to 80% when I'm just sitting and reading the news page. Makes the fan kick on in my laptop every time I load the site, which gets annoying as all hell.

What say you, RainofTerror? Worthplaying is a worthy site, are you really hiring or is Liquidize105 just being a plug of diarrhea?

[baz]

Good luck, baz!

Cheers dude! I just moved to London from New Zealand and its been fun being on holiday for a month, but its time to get employed again. Its really going to impinge on my Guild Wars time though... almost makes me want to go back to uni and do a PhD.

[valkyrie_cs]

another long time reader, infrequent poster: donation made with best wishes. The only sites even close to this one are slashdot, eurogamer and gameindustry.. imo you are up there in newstainment.

[Kelegacy]

I hope you long time readers, infrequent posters start to jump into discussions more! It's good to see new faces in the forums. It would also be really nice if you all received custom forum tags for donating, so as to better distinguish you from the rest of the flock.

Very true.

Kelagacy - also very nice of you to say. Are you trying to steal Kefka's "Den Mother" title? ;)

[Kelegacy]

He's the Den Mother? Well, he does bake cookies, talks in a high pitched, womanly tone, and wears skirts, so who knows. Maybe that would be a good title for him.

I couldnt be a Den Mother. Remember, I'm the House Pervert, guilty of threadjacking yesterday and turning it into a soft-core porn thread...and seeing it unfortunately deleted this morning. Shucks.

[valkyrie_cs]

Yeah but I think that Mario Sunshine and Paper Mario 2 are the best games ever made... not sure if you need anymore Nintendo fanboys on the site ;) Will try to contribute more if I can think interesting thoughts ! Thanks for encouragement. You also have to keep in mind that shy people don't necessarily like to post on such well read sites ! Personally, as an old fart (ie: 35) I find posting/responding to be tiring at times... It's getting harder to find gamers really "analyzing" games, so congrats to most contributers.

I've always been pretty shy and most sites I visited in the past, I just read the tripe of others, refusing to respond with my own words. But here I found out I can just be myself and post almost whatever I want, your opinions and views might get slammed but there are others with basically the same ideas to join or defend you. That words like fuck and shit dont get censored out makes it even better. Anger with asterisks really doesnt come off very well. And here at EvAv, we get angry and fired up quite frequently. We are all a diverse group of gamers, from fanboys to all-inclusives, imbeciles to brainiacs, instigators to defenders. You'll find yourself falling into a niche group after a few short posts. That's why I can make fun of guys like Kefkataran and not worry about him getting mad. Plus, he has a crush on me, so I have sway over the dork.

[Kelegacy]

Oh, and I've been busy today. I do alot of my posting at work and have to keep clicking out of the screen, but I think people are finally catching on to me and the black and red screen that they keep seeing flashes of...but anyway, now that I'm home I just whipped out my debit card and donated. I've never donated to a website before, so this place really has to be doing something right in order to make me break open my wallet.

Thanks EvAv and keep up the good work. Oh, and to everyone else, I might need help. Custom tag ideas, if Evil grants them? Anyone have a certain label that they'd like to see Kelegacy with?

[Kefkataran]

Kelagacy - also very nice of you to say. Are you trying to steal Kefka's "Den Mother" title?

I had the title of Den Mother? Hot damn! That's awesome!

Oh, and I've been busy today. I do alot of my posting at work and have to keep clicking out of the screen, but I think people are finally catching on to me and the black and red screen that they keep seeing flashes of...

I do the same at work and, sadly, I also think they've started to catch on. Luckily, I don't care too much and only have the (full-time) job for another couple weeks before classes start.

[fitbabits]

Donation will be forthcoming tomorrow when I (hopefully) find my wallet. I love this site and will happily donate whenever I can to ensure that everyone here still has somewhere to get their gaming news (with attitude). Sorry about the bite(s), Evil - keep an eye on them in case they get infected.

Funnily enough, I was bitten by a jumping spider yesterday while mowing my front lawn - fever, vomiting, etc. were what I had to put up with Sunday night and today. Got a steroid injection this afternoon from my doctor and am taking Benadryl.

Don't suppose anyone here has seen my wallet and car keys lying around...??

[BabyJesus]

Get Norton Internet Security, best "banner" ad blocker I have ever used, bar none. You'll never see that banner ad again and about 99% of the rest of them either..

Somehow you are much funnier when you are not picking on me. Why is that?

Btw, you totally deserve "Curmudgeon".

[Evil Avatar]

Thanks for all the well-wishing. I saw our nurse on Saturday night and I went to the Doctor today and they both said the same thing... unless things get worse there isn't much they can do. So, I'm mildly annoyed at the pain, but I'm not feeling sick or anything.

Thanks for all the donataions, that really helps take the brunt out of our hosting costs. If you do donate and you want a custom forum Rank, you can put it in your PayPal comments or just send me a Private Message and I'll hook you up.

[Rommel]

There has never been a documented case of death as a result of a spider bite. It is highly suspected that it has happened. What are at risk from prolonged or multiple exposures to these toxins are damaged nerves and tissue. This is especially true in the case of the Brown Recluse, whose cocktail of vemon ingrediants can cause a disease in which White Blood cells mistakeningly attack muscle tissue.

Generally speaking, there is not much risk of death via a spider bite. Only those who are risk of deth from any negative stimuli need fear, and to worry over one risk is silly. A bad bite on an extremity, such as your hand or foot, can result in more harmful tissue damage. Also, a bite placed onto an artery (Discovery channel once had a man who was bitten on the chest, just above his aeorta) is obviously more serious.

Why do I know this? because I am scared shittless of spiders. So much so that I will not be wearing a watch for the next few days. I was assured if I learned more about them I would find out they aren't that bad. Guess that? I was wrong. They are terribly, horrific monsterous creatures. Evil - drink lots of juice and water, you want to flush any infected waste from your system as soon as you can. If you develop a fever see a physician again. Simple bayer should be enough for any muscle pain

[Spigot]

There ya go. $10 to help you out. This site actually gives me something to look forward to when I open my inbox these days. I can't chat about games at work or home because nobody plays at work and my wife hates them. If only my son were older... I'll just have to keep brainwashing him for now.

I didn't see any spot to put in about the custom tags on the site. I'm sure you can figure out which donation is mine by the e-mail addy.

Same here. I get to play geek here because I am so deprived of these conversations in everyday life. No one I know plays games, barring the occasional racing game or Madden. Sometimes a friend or relative will walk in on me playing an RPG and look at me like I'm a leper; they dont understand it. So i come here and I squeeze out my geek juice into the forums because it gets built up inside of me with no one outside of EvAv for me to talk to about games. My Gmail inbox is also a source of glee when I see replies to posts, which gives me a way to catch up on topics even when I've been working all day.

I donated 16.66, not just because I'm an asshole, but because I thought I'd put a little "Evil" into the donating game.

I still cant think of a custom forum title though.

Yeah, I noticed that one too. I wonder if that was luck, or if Evil got a chance to pick it. I'll just imagine it was luck, and queue the Twilight Zone music.

[Evil Avatar]

isnt that what happened to you?

Yes, I did get bit multiple times, so there was a pretty big danger that I could get really sick. I guess I got lucky.

[Kelegacy]

wow, that's pretty cool. who the hell are you, then?! we gonna find out you're, like, tom clancy or something?

EDIT: re: black widow: OW! i actually thought they were deadly?

Actually, I'm Clom Tancy, a Harlequinn Romance novelist and prototype dildo tester. Close, though.

Bah, I'm just fucking lying. I couldnt control the urge to lie: I've never written a novel (though it's my goal in life). I'm pathological, man.

I didn't see a place for an additional message. Is there any other way you need verification?

Since you can look at our e-mail addresses, you should be able to identify my contribution....

Okay, why have I gone stupid and am now unable to find the place to give donations to. Do I just send it through paypal and, if so, what email do i send it to....or is there a button.

Months here and I'm now a n00b. Woot.

Had a girlfriend who got bit by one on the inside of her thigh. I we broke up two weeks later. It had nothing to do with the disgusting open sore growing between her legs though.

Urp.

Well alas im a broke geek monkey, soon as I get some cash flow im sending some your way.And spider bites suck...

[Serapth]

I think I have a little room on my credit card, I can shoot 10$ EvA's way. Two quick questions though, I dont need Paypal right, just a CC? Second, can I pick a title later, my brain is being completely wasted by work right now.

Not yet. While we do have advertising, I keep the ad rates very very low so that we are competetive with the big corporate sites.

I would love to work on the page full time and I think that could happen in the future, but I work full time just like everyone else.

Our hosting costs are 100% supported by reader donations, keep those donations coming we have a huge bill due this September to go with the new server.

As this is my 1000th post, I would like to say thank you for the Evil Avatar community for welcoming me, and accepting me in the few shorts months I have been here. I have made some fantastic friends, talked about a smorgasbord of topics, and generally had a kick ass time. From the podcast to the forums, this is an amazing site, and hope it never changes. I'd like to say a big thanks to all the reds, for doing what they do best.

Also, come next Friday (I get paid) $100 will be contributed towards this fantastic site.

Hey, Sexychalk. What colour will you get your name to be with your $100 donation?

I would demand a polka-dot coloured name if I were you.

[haleck]

Donated $50.00. I don't post much, but I visit the site about 5 or 10x a day. $50 is cheap when I think of the hundreds of hours that EA has entertained, informed and disgusted me.

Question: any perks for donating? My Paypal address is different from the address I registered here with, so that might confuse things. Enlighten me, please!

Edit: Ah, I see I now have "subscriber" underneath my username. Tasty.

[Spigot]

And you can now go into your profile and change that title to whatever you want.

May I suggest, 'Spigot's #1 Fan'?

[haleck]

Good call, thanks for the heads-up. I didn't take your title suggestion, but out of appreciation, I'll change my cat's name from Pardalis to Spiggy. The vicious little muffin was getting delusions of grandeur anyways. He needs to be taken down a peg or two.

[Kefkataran]

Thank you for the donation, haleck. It's much appreciated and always great knowing that we have people checking out and enjoying the site even if they don't post much.

Good call, thanks for the heads-up. I didn't take your title suggestion, but out of appreciation, I'll change my cat's name from Pardalis to Spiggy. The vicious little muffin was getting delusions of grandeur anyways. He needs to be taken down a peg or two.
I feel honoured... wait a minute, did you say, taken down a peg or two?

Sheesh.
