My name is Deadpool, because when I was picking a name, I sae the whole nickname thing and went with Deadpool as he is awesome! Also, Ragingtsunami726 (my usual name) doesn't have as much flair to it. As for my avatar, I have been LOVING the Irreedeemable Ant-Man, so I wanted a mug shot. Maybe a name change is in order...

Might as well keep it simple and cut down on the confusion, right Divebomb? ;)

LOLing my freakin butt off.

:P

Shush you two!

Well Zombieboy was my nickname from high school. Fiend was added sometime after I began listening to the Misfits. My avatars are usually just my latest concept custom but I thought I would go with my costume from Halloween. Me, the wife, Jareth (blue ranger), and Foley (green ranger)

I thought that was probably where your screen name came from. :D Good series - I'm just tired of waiting for the next book to come out! (Yeah, I know we just got a new one recently, but, there's just a damn long wait between books!)

Have you heard anything about the comic that's supposed to be coming out soon based on the Wheel of Time series? I saw something on it over the summer but haven't heard anything new since then.

Edit: Just found this: http://www.dabelbrothers.com/newspring.html and it claims it's out now. Doesn't look like something I'd be into unfortunately.

Yeah, I've enjoyed the books, and its been one of the few fantasy series I've been able to fully immerse myself into. I've got all the books, the original New Spring short story, the expanded novel version, both RPG books, the computer game. I even started making my own WoT based RPG using RPG Maker, that is until I got side tracked on collecting minimates. I made a custom Rand for a contest back on the other board, but when he didn't generate a single vote, I put the WoT universe on the back burner of customs.

I got the first issue of the New Spring comic and thought it was pretty good, but I haven't seen an issue since at my LCS, so I haven't really pursued it since. Maybe I'll see it in trades someday and I can catch up.

As far as the books, given developments in the last book, Book 12 may just be the last volume of the story. Guess we'll see.

^^^Let's hope it is the last book. I've enjoyed the series for the most part, but he has rehashed quite a few plot points and the development with Egwene at the end of book 11 had me tearing my hair out.

Not to derail this thread but I thought you Robert Jordan fans would like to know. Robert Jordan

Bruticus. I recognized you name the day you signed up. :P One of my all time favorite Transformers.

Pretty easy to spot when you're a Transformers fan :P

Sad to say though that i pretty much use this name and the variation of "DeathscytheBruticus ©" on every single board i use

My current avatar was created by Ivan and I just think it looks cool. If I can find the original image that's it's from I'll post it or maybe Ivan could help out with that?
Thy will be done.:P

As for me, my avatar is a symbol of the growing insurrection. We, the TIMotrons, support the Three-Inch Minimates in all things, in all ways, and in all endeavors. We are vehemently opposed to the oppression of the two-inch Minimates. Their crypto-fascist oligarchy cannot stand forever. We support a new form of ruling, the TIMocrocy. One where Kirk is friends with Superman. Where Dark Cloud does not fear the disapproving gaze of Sue Richards. Where Paul Stanley can walk the streets without getting his ass kicked by Chun-Li.

Our numbers are few, but growing. History will look upon two-inchers ('shorties,' the kids call them) as a mere passing fad, while statues are built in praise of our three-inch mini-masters. The revolution will not be televised. There's a pile of brochures on the table in the back. Be sure to grab one on your way out.

Alas, the tale of my name is one of love, loss, hope, redemption, jealousy, rage, revenge, and a side of alfalfa sprouts. It begins in the small town of Kalhouk, shortly after the end of the second World War. I was a small, lonely, orphan child.

I wandered the sewers, scavenging for whatever I could find. Then, one day, I came upon a shattered glass jar with four baby turtles. The little ones were crawling in a strange glowing ooze. I cracked one open on the spot and ate it. I planned to save the other three - they would keep me alive for another week, but of course an older boy saw them and wanted them. He had to break my arm, but he got the turtles.

I was not going to leave it at that, those were my turtles. For the next three hours I secretly followed him. Through an old warehouse, under the brothel, over the bridge at Khazad-dum, and 'round the Antares Maelstrom I pursued him. The chase unexpectedly ended at the entrance of the long since burned out Gondorian Cafe.

It should have been an epic battle, one for the ages. A battle in which the combatants pummel each other mercilessly until one can no longer stand. A battle that no observer would likely forget. Fortunately, our battle was not like that at all. At one stage of my pursuit, I stumbled over a decent sized length of pipe. Being the practical child, I took it with me. It was with that pipe that I bashed in the back of his skull during his brief respite in front of the Cafe. My only regret was that he did not know it was I who had separated his soul from his mortal coil.

Well, I suppose I do have a second regret from that encounter. While I was repeatedly bashing the corpse the true objects of my pursuit, the turtles, slowly wandered away. After I realized they were gone, I called for them. Unfortunately turtles have very small ears and they could not hear my call. They were gone forever.

But not all was lost. I was so caught up in my chase, I was not aware that I too was being followed. When my rage over losing the turtles subsided, my pursuer approached me.

"That was quite a display you put on, young one."

"What of it?" I spat back, disgusted at having my introspection interrupted.

"You have great skills that could be honed. I want to teach you to control and respect your powers," he explained.

"Sure, why not?" It's not like I had anything better to do.

The next few years were trying. We traveled across the country. Practicing, training, fighting, lighting fires, tipping cows, poisoning water supplies, chopping vegetables, tripping old ladies, integrating partial differential equations, rotating tires, skinning cats, and creating the Illudium Pu-36 Explosive Space Modulator. The Space Modulator was our crowning achievement, it took many months just to figure out exactly how many cat pelts are necessary to generate 1.21 gigawatts of electricity. (42 if you are interested.) On the day that our Modulator was to be unveiled to throngs of cheering onlookers, it was stolen. Our pride and joy had been carted off to Mars by some pip-squeak in a skirt. The press had no sympathy for us, only ridicule and spite.

This was the last straw, I couldn't handle the business anymore. I longed to return to the carefree days of my youth. Where my only care was finding food, not if Sam Donaldson called me a quack. So I quit...

...then I met her. She was tall, thin, and had the toes of an Olympic Sprinter. Her nasal septum made me weak in the knees. She would not have me. All my approaches were rebuffed. All my advances were turned away. All my gifts to her were burned in a massive bonfire on Christmas day. Oh how I rued that day, and every day since. I vowed in my heart to never be weak, to never know fear, and never ever sing Karaoke again! I laid waste to the landside, ignoring my teaching, forgetting my training. All living things trembled in my shadow. I was a God!

Even gods grow tired of hurting people, so I removed every article of clothing, and ran through the streets naked. This turned out to be a foolish mistake. You see the local authorities don't mind the killing and maiming. Arson, theft, and vandalism rarely receive a second glance. Public nudity on the other hand is a very serious offence. I was quickly captured, (As a side note: there are very few places to hide a weapon when you are running around totally starkers.), tried, convicted, and sentenced to thirty years in the local institution. That is when I discovered the wonderful Interweb. A multitude of possibilities now opened to me, like porn and stock quotes.

But instead of using this new medium to learn and grow, I look for casserole recipes and pictures of kittens. Awwww what a cute widdle kiddy. You are the most pwecious widdle thing, yes you are, yes you are. Come here you cute piddie widdie kitty. Awwww Ivan loves all the little kitty widdies, doesn't he? Doesn't he? Yess, mmmmmmm....

Handle?

Cyc is short for Cyclone, which I favored both due to a need for a GI Joe/Top Gun callsign for the original Gunship for the C64 and my interested in the transformable motorcycles of Robotech (called Ride Armor in my beloved Mospeada) http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cyclone_%28Robotech%29

Shortening it was partly due to lazy people, but finally even with getting a Beta Test invite to Robotech.com, someone else still beat me to Cyclone cemented Cyc as my prefered.

It's not short for Cyclops as I foster and foul and unspeakable hatred of X-men, which of course makes me happy that pretty much anything Marvel, be it Minimates or even Marvel Comics themselves, relys upon them to survive ;_;

Avatar is of the Corporate Crusader himself, the one and only Booster Gold! Normally I opt for my own drawings of my prefered Minimtes, including my idea for a Booster back in the dark C3 is dead era, but like the control art they produced.

Logan, Sting rules. He must be your hero with his flat refusal to wrestle under the WWF banner. So what if he's a B.A.C., he's still the best. And he didn't kill Ms. Elizabeth like that damn Luger did. Big time old scholl wrestling fan here, new stuff sucks! Zombieboyfiend, on the wrestling topic, is your costume of La Parka? Logan and the latinos in our warehouse might appreciate that reference.

Me? Jadian is the phonetic pronusi...pronunci.... Damn it, it's how you say my initials. J D N. Pretty simple. I have always craved a name that stands out more than Jeff. I am finding out there are alot of Jeffs on this board. You all feel me right? Might as well be Jack Joe John Jim, people never understand me when I say it.

My Avitar? My own custom Wonderman. I used to switch it around on some old board that died, but here, I'll just keep it as that.

Cool thread, I feel like I know you all a little bit more, but not as overwhelming as the pic thread! ;)

I don't know about hero, but he's definately my favorite wrestler, right up there with Bret Hart and Rey Mysterio! Also, I think not going to WWF/E was one of Sting's best moves. He would've been so underused if he did go.

BTW: About the B.A.C., I like how TNA makes little to no refrences of Sting being one, unlike some other guys *coughshawnmichealscough* in othe companies.

Nope sorry it's not La Parka it's my own design that I had a company produce for me. I'll see if I can find the concept artwork.

Actually I saw Sting on the religious channel talking about being a born again Christian. I did sit and watch it and he did have harsh stuff to say about all of the different wrestling promotions. I'm surprised he actually went to TNA let alone any wrestling promotion. I actually enjoy all the different wrestling organizations that are out there. I think you shouldn't burn your bridges when you cross them...IE the James Gang, Rhino, and Kurt Angle.

I always thought it was a Mister Plastic reference or Mr. Popularity, every one loves shin... wait I mean everyone loves PL.

Logan, Zombie, don't get me wrong. Nothing wrong with being a B.A.C. but being one in that industry strikes me as odd. He must be torn between beliefs and being employed and well paid. But I guess he did avoid working for the biggest whore in that industry directly. Not quite as contradictory as a Jewish National Socialist, but it really close. Vince McMahon is Hitler however..... just ask Brett and Owen...
