Larian Studios Forums General Chat Chat (Anything) Lar hasn't got an avatar (yet)

Well I was just chilling and hanging on the forum and I noticed Lar doesn't have an ava (mysterious Lar <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/think.gif" alt="" />). So everyone post sugestions on what ava Lar should get when we have enough maybe a little poll can be opend. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/silly.gif" alt="" />



My sugestion

Very cool idea <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/silly.gif" alt="" />

I will try to make an avatar with one of my drawings but i need some time because i am going in vacation soon.

Don't close the competition too soon.

I'll wait. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/biggrin.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/up.gif" alt="" />

I totally agree with you morbo <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />
You should only take out the man bijt hond part <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />
No one knows what it means anyway, so it would lose the funny meaning <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

The name "Lar" comes from "Pilar" and that was originally the dog's name, but Lar himself (Swen) shortened it. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/winkwink.gif" alt="" />

I think he told this story somewhere.

find it please, you made me curious <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/delight.gif" alt="" />

Yes I knew that. Basicly the company is named after his dog. That Why I picked the "man bijt hond" dog.

Could be an interview looong ago. Impossible to find.

Lynn told the story somewhere in the Divine Divinity section.
I am going to look after it.

EDIT :
I have found it :
Story of Pilar the dog

[color:"yellow"] Lar the dog in the Dwarven Bread Inn

The all new non improved story of Lar the Superdog, owner of an incredible cool looking bone, which he acquired using nothing else but his natural intelligence.
Or how the taste of floppy disks lay at the source of a game company called Larian Studios

***

Once upon a time there was a dog whose name was Pilar.
He never really liked his name, so one day he decided that it had to stop.
He renamed himself, and let man and beast alike know that from now on, they should call him Lar.
After spending the first years of his life playing idle games with the neighbour's cat and the occasional rabbit, Lar decided that it was time to take his gaming to a new level.
What he really wanted to do was play with computers.
He always liked the taste of floppy disks anyway.
At that time the CDROM drive still had to conquer the world, so he didn't know that there were plans to replace his favourite medium by something shiny that would hurt his teeth, but that's beside the point .
So he collected his bones, traded them at the bank and with the money he got, he founded a company.
After thinking for a very long time he decided that he would call his company Larian Studios.

After all, he couldn't call it Pilarian Studios, could he?

God bless Google

Nice pic.



Had the same idea. It needs to be clipped to because it's to large. I't just an example.

New sugestion.

Lar is always talking in mysterious ways (Project X, dolls, battlefields). He always gives a little hint but never enough so we can figure it out. He remains a mystory.

Morbo, that's Soulflyer's Fanpage.

Hm, what might have become of him ... (or is he with a different name here ? Don't remember, sorry. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/shame.gif" alt="" /> )

Where are the sugetions <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/puppyeyes.gif" alt="" />. Seems that only me and barta are searching. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/puppyeyes.gif" alt="" />

In the old Forum, Lar had a simple dog as Avatar - the same as in the game. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/winkwink.gif" alt="" />

Maybe now he can use the avatat of the dog from <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/beyond.gif" alt="" />.

BTW: is Lar in <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/beyond.gif" alt="" /> Or did he win the bet this time. Wait don't tell. I want to discover it on my own.

It was this one:

So long as he cant climb trees, Im happy!

@ Morbo

I have made a picture with one of my drawings but i can't insert it in a message in the forum.
You know my problem with a free web site.

Is there a solution to show the picture ?
Thanks for your help.
