    I have decided to Start this Thread to in a way clear the air
    and give more Insite to one another if that is possible.

    You Don't have to But could be a great learning experiance for all of us
    and were not asking for a great deal of Info.......
    So post if you Please...

    wee.. you must be from louth?

    I had a different name... and wanted not to be seen as me .. so in haste I picked this... of the top of my head... the second Renaisance.. there was a first .. and I feel it is my job to be part of the second.. never heard of a second before...

    untill I watched the animatrix... but I'd picked the name before I coped on.. *actually the second time I watched it.. I'm a bit Dim...*

    I personally like names that are short and to the point .. but then .. I'm a bit dry like that... a bit Grim....

    Im ... things that rhyme with im... *sorry.. cryptic*... and pointless.... Not a fan of names beginning with 'the'... it sort of found me .. not the other way around... the email address attached .. I never use... its not me... the second.. is purely for boards...

    my name is KlodaX

    I don't know why I didn't choose it. .. but there you go...

    I can't explain most things I do... impulsive I guess! :p


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,312 ✭✭✭mr_angry


    I got "given" my name by jesus_thats_gre (long before the discovery of Boards) for making crazy angry statements at inappropriate times. Just some idle thoughts I had running through my head - nothing malicious.

    It was better than my old one - the_campaign_for_real_bug (Don't ask)


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2, Paid Member Posts: 6,588 ✭✭✭weemcd


    nah not from louth
    armagh sigh


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 222 ✭✭The Second


    your old name seemed to stick... even though it was long... and unusual...

    I like you avatar... goes with your name.. although I liked .. "I don't like you face"...

    It just sorta got contracted and stayed that way..


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,107 ✭✭✭TheSonOfBattles


    My avatar is (I think) the head of the MS-18E Kampfer Mobile Suit from the anime show Mobile Suit Gundam 0080: War in the pocket, a six episode show that aired years ago. This particular suit is a really cool one in my eyes, so I picked this avatar.

    My handle comes from "The Shadow Rising", book 4 of Robert Jordans "Wheel of Time" series. In it one of the main characters is confronting some prophets when the place they are in starts to collapse. The prophets summon servants to take him away, but he struggles long enough, demanding answers that they start to shout the answers at him, but instead of calling him by name, they address him by the titles they know him from in their visions, one of which is the son of battles.

    I'm a big fan of the series, and when I needed to pick a handle for a Q3 deathmatch I picked that as I had been scan readin parts of the book earlier that day.
