| | | I honestly cannot remember...
I do know, though, that I rather think it sucks and is all together unimaginative.
Feel free to agree with me.

You mean that kind of sad? 
Anime/manga style is cute as long as I'm not seeing it everywhere. Like what's happening to Marvel Comics right now. God, I really wish they would stop ruining all their comics.

Sayonatsi is short for "SA iYO NA TSInelas ko!" that means "You can have my slippers." as in, throwing slippers to hit enemy's face then run like hell!
Ahem, lest I be accused of spamming this thread... 
Added info on my username: Being a Filipino expat in Thailand at the time I joined GB, I was hoping that Filipinos in this forum would recognize me as one so we can exchange ideas under an international setting (as opposed to discussing in the comforts of the Filipino context --- I might as well just join a Filipino forum for that. ) |

| | I know I've answered this question before here, but...
There's really no interesting story behind my GB handle. I quite literally sat looking at my computer screen during registration, and it was the first one I thought of that appealed
That's it, pretty simple.

Thankfully, I am not so sad anymore as to have understood any of that. I've grown out of it.
No kidding. I was just browsing through some Marvel covers on Deviant Art a few minutes ago and couldn't help but notice how transformed the art is becomming. It's tragic.

| | A most enlightening thread i must say. Never crossed my mind that someone else noticed the horrible comics distortion that went together with people wanting only mangha. Glad not to be alone 
My name is a result of me being very vain I went to quenya lessons some time ago, and the guy giving them had a serious crush on me and I enver spotted it  , and thought he was really interested in a pagan group I was part of while he probably didn't even hear anything I was saying.
When I realized what was going on I left the lessons fast, and afterwards was getting letters from him where he called me QuenGalad, "talking with trees" in quenya. I finally managed to freeze him off, but as I am vain, I kept the name - reminds me how lovely I am

That and I just think it sounds cool (pun intended.)

Glad not to be alone | It's sad when you think about all the veteran cartoonists who suddenly had to change style on a marketing whim. If you're working for Disney that's kinda what you should expect, but Marvel.. that's like American culture or something. They should have never touched that. I don't have the full scoop on this, but I can well imagine people left that company because of this. If they weren't already being replaced by younger applicants. =\

Where do you play an ice mage? "table" rpg or "digital" one?
@Tricky, the problem is, that sort of thing happens everywhere... people are finished because they are too old-fashioned by standards of som bean-counter who only cares about sale going up... Polish comic books were really great, made by high quality graphics artists... It was an art experience... And now, you only get huge breasts, tiny noses and non-existent waists with guns/swords/whatever. yuck.

But seems to me to be more today.

I also have an Ice mage in WoW and focus on ice spells whenever I can get them in other games.

| | I am a poker player, thats where "xraygord" comes from. I use this name everywhere now, it is never taken.(paypal,ebay,other forums,poker sites etc)
i like superbobs answer Welcome xraygord. I would just like to remind you that when participating in one thread we try to refrain from posting in succession. You could always edit your post to accommodate a new idea in mind if there are no posts following it.

| I studied a style of Kali, but that is basically the same thing as Arnis. Arnis, Kali, Escrima- they're too similar to really parce out. I think that Kali is a term used only in the west. I've yet to learn the deadly technique of Sayonatsi, but I'll start that as soon as I finish perfecting my dim mach and chi blast
now, so as not to completely spam...
Cuchulain, as a name, is almost unkown here in the US. However, in Ireland, Cuchulain is pretty common because he's a folk hero, kind of like Paul Bunyan. I didn't realize it at the time, and now I feel like my name conveys untended bragadiccio about me and my personality.
