Well, it seems the title grabbed your attention, so lets begin. An Internet Steed is something you envision to be transporting you as you surf the vast expanses of the Internet. Do you have one? They can be anything, from a beast of burden to a streak of lightning to a graphics card that seats six.

I'll start it off, my steed is Montressor, the Three-Faced Horse portrayed in my Avatar.

(I hope this is in the right place, as this is only my second post. Do let me know if I've got the placement wrong)

As far as I know, this would be the right place to ask this.

As for the question..I really have no idea, never thought about it.

Very cool avatar.
I'll be on the back of my raccoon that is standing on an green electronic surfboard thank you very much.

Bang!

Simply floating in the vast Tron-like world of the internet would suffice. Although lightcycles and an armoured bear would be cool.

I just fly around. Looking all omniscient and that sorta thing.

I'm now imagining it as a small, silvery spaceship. Kinda egg-shaped, with stubby wings. No idea why. It looks silly, really.

Hm. I think Castaras and Fredaintdead have it right - a combination of tubes and code, data streaming past. That's plenty cool enough for me :smallbiggrin:

A door leads to each corner of the internet I want to visit. My appearance changes depending on the theme of the location.

I am my own steed. Flying around on majestic wings of ivory and onyx.

Oh man, that made me sound like a massive tosser. But yeah, wing power for the awesomeness.

Alternatively, Aperture Science. That is all.

I fly with my own wings. Else I walk. :smalltongue:

Although I do have a Chain Chomp steed....

Wait, you people need wings? Pfft.

Closest thing I would do is go Giratina mode (http://browse.deviantart.com/?q=Giratina&order=9&offset=48#/d24fd95). Man that stuff looks cool.

Hey I actually thought about this once before! I picture the internet as a vast continent of green hills, pretty forests and rural villages that I visit one at a time by walking, no contraptions or horses needed!

A pair of plush chairs in an old-timey reading room from which the Internet and I converse. Neither of us goes anywhere, but rather we sit as equals in this room and discuss as we see fit. Sometimes, one or the other of us will nick off to go do something, but in the end, we're always here, together, as brethren.

Zaydos
2011-04-29, 03:26 PM
Zaydos is my Steed :smalltongue:

Lol

I was debating whether to post or not but now I have to.

Can't say I really have one. If I did it would just be me as a dragon (either a bronze dragon from D&D, a Red-Eyes Black Dragon from Yu-Gi-Oh, or one of my own creation).

Although I think it might matter what kind of site I was going to. Dealing with anime/manga it might very well be a character in Akira Toriyama style (Crono from Chrono Trigger over Goku though) with phoenix-dragon armor. For these forums it's very definitely a bronze dragon. Elsewhere... who knows.

I envision browsing the internet as being like exploring a cave. You never know what you are going to find around the next corner. Might be amazing, might be horrible. It also gives me a reason to use the word spelunking more often. I guess my steed would be either walking or crawling.

*Shudder*

Don't imagine the bosses, don't!

I'm holding onto an umbrella floating through a gigantic storm. That, or I'm on a flying motorcycle (in the storm) whilst Through the Fire and the Flames plays in the background. Depends on the day :smalltongue:

I envision the internet as a series of tubes connecting rooms that are the sites. As I move from site to site I am shunted through a series of pneumatic tubes, rushing with breakneck speed from place to place. It is an incredibly steampunk place, filled with brass and gears and hydraulics all constantly working to bring me to the internet and the internet to me.

I don't use a steed. I have a sanctum, a small wizard's tower, located in the Silly Message Board Games section of the Playground. Everywhere else in the Playground is within walking distance. In my sanctum there are portals to transport me to other planes of existence.

this is actually a really cool idea

A+ question, OP. I approve.

The internet is kinda Portal-y, honestly. In that it's very easy to get from one place to another, if you're lucky, but there's a decent chance you'll miscalculate and end up plummeting to your death at the bottom of an infinite abyss from which not even light can escape...

I just throw myself in the general direction and enjoy the view before crashing on something (or someone) soft. :3

I guess I'd snatch a WWI fighter plane if I was in a hurry and wanted to do a barrel-roll.

The dangerous seas of the world-wide-web requires at least a jet-powered pirate frigate, though. :smalltongue:

Moff Chumley
2011-04-30, 11:58 AM
You mean 4chan? :smallamused:

Precisely.

Also, as with Portal, I spend way too much of my time falling through said abyss. I don't think it's good for me. :smallsigh:

When I surf the internet I imagine myself surrounded by code like the matrix and pulling them into screens displaying what I am looking for

I perceive it as like turning over a stone or a log, and browsing the fascinating insects living beneath.

I perceive it as sitting in front of a magical black box, which shows me colourful, glowing pictures of everything I want to see :smallwink:

You mean like a silver opa-opa (http://www.digitalmonkeybox.com/SGHV2OpOp.jpg)? You had a Sega Master System at one point, didn't you?

For me, I'll say emu, as it was the first animal I thought of when I read the threat title.
