Do you still listen to Metallica and old thrash?

Not much to metallica but definatly thrash. Slayer ftw!
I'd prefer Megadeth.

I think the big four of Thrash is Metallica, Megadeath, Slayer and Anthax no?

Yes it is.

Metallica and Anthrax shouldn't be in my opinion. Metallica because most of the albums after ...And Justice For All were more of pop than metal and Anthrax because their music is just mediocre to me. Well... The last time I listened to Anthrax was a while back so I'll probably change my mind after listening to them again.

Back on topic:

I got my name from one of my favourite Pantera songs and I got my avatar from the "A vile force of locomotion has arrived!" thread.

I made this one. It's one of the possible character graphics in the roguelike I'm making.

Oh yeah, I forgot this still existed... Hmm...

I'd like to remind everyone that half of the time I don't even know what I'm talking about. The other half of the time I only sort of know what I'm talking about.

Name of an RP character I particularly liked. Same as my old handle on multible sites, but I grew to like this character more. And, as I am rather uncreative, most characters I make share the same name, maybe with slight differances.

I made my username up when I was four.
My avatars have fluctuated from a penguin to a mad scientist to Dave.

But then, life was also easier when I was running around here pretending to be a man, so I guess I should just "man up" and get back to work.

It's a play on "The Merchant of Venice" obviously. I was playing D and D, and thought it would be a good name for a black market vendor.

I stole my name from a Vaporware MMO that was my first forum experience.

The name is an old pen name of mine when I used to write fanfiction (go ahead, throw tomatoes at me), which was a mix of two of my favorite characters at the time (although the last name was mangled by my usual crappy spelling)

I just look on Google for avatars.

"Lord Dakoth" was the name of my character in some obscure MMO that I played when I was 13. I've used it since then.

I made my avatar myself. It's colored pencil (and fine-point sharpie for the outlines.) It is an example of one of the few dwarves in my fort that can dress themselves to some degree.

It's a pleasing, and hopefully unpronounceable, combination of letters.

No using. That's not what freedom is for.
