If you are into creating crazy or funny looking avatars then you will like this new service called Eightbit.me. The name instantly suggests that the service has got something to do with 8-bit. That's true. It helps you create an 8 bit avatar of yourself. And they actually look pretty cool! You need to sign up with them via Twitter (uses OAuth) and then you can create a full-body avatar that shows a slight movement too. Their homepage displays some examples of user avatars.
Overall this is a nice service to play with and I couldn't find anything else apart from letting you create 8-bit full body avatars. Their homepage also plays music automatically which will remind you of video games, like Mario.
