My nick was created originally for the VBB. Freespace/Wing Commander/TIE Fighter/etc are all direct descendents of Star Raiders, a game on the old 8-bit Atari computers. The bad guys in that game were called Zylons. I killed a lot of those guys back in the day, hence I am the bane of all Zylons. :thepimp:

That it abbreviates to the snazzy "ZB" was an unplanned bonus.

omg, I remember that game! LOL I never ever managed to wipe out the fleet before they reached the Starbase, there was always 1 ship left

It came with this gamepad thing, that I converted to work with Oric 1

Ugh, that's the hideous 2600 version. Mention it not!

I just used a random name generator when I decided I was too Catholic for Hades.

[aldo_14]

Aldo & 14 are the name & no I have on the back of my footie shirts.  Aldo was my brothers idea (dunno why), 14 because I used to play in several positions (so I wanted a non-specific number).

When my son was back in eighth grade, he used to watch a kids sci-fi show with him called BeastWars.  He seemed interested in it (for an eighth grader) and I started to watch it with him (feeling nostalgic for BattleStar Galactica).  Rampage (looked like a bad combination of a jellyfish and a crab) was one of the antagonists in that show.  Also, I had some memory related problems with my computer.  So, why not...

I beleive I have your Toy


(Meh, site is dead)


I loved that show. Shame they took it off air here.

[ShadowWolf_IH]

Shadow is the Dog's name, he is half wolf.  IH is Iron Horde, the mech 3 team i started

[Taristin]

Would that beast wars be transformers? If so, I used to watch it too.

[Solatar]

No, Beastwars was like a rip of transformers IIRC. used to watch it when I was like 9.

[Knight Templar]

Yeah, it was a spin-off/new series of sorts. all CGI, kick ass story and fights.

EDIT: Not a rip. It was an addition to the series...

tell me, i'm just curious.

are you mexican, or hispanic at all?

[Knight Templar]

IIRC, he's a half Puerto Rican..

Not that I'm answering for him or anything

[Stealth]

how do you know his nationality?  do you stalk him or something?


naaa

[Knight Templar]

err.. he's only mentioned it a half  dozen times since I can remember....

[Stealth]

hmmm, i remember him mentioning he was American, but not being Puerto Rican.

and if he's mentioned his nationality "a half dozen times since I can remember" then how can you not be sure he's Puerto Rican!?  Mentioning it half a dozen times is quite a bit.  i don't see how you could be unsure.


...pwned

Isn't Beast Wars the show that gave a bunch of Japanese kids seizures a few years back?
