Death by deplicity, death by betrayel, betrayel is what created the first sin, which created this world as it is today, which will end this world as it will be tomorrow.
Basicly the debris and massacre that's left after the "Final War" between man, hell, and heaven. Plus it's a book I've been writing for about a year. hehehehh! |

My mates used to embarrass me in the pub by shouting "Tony, Tony, whats the secret formula?" as in Tony the Tiger (Kellogs Frosties?)
Thats where El Tigre came from...kinda boring I suppose :�

I hate my name it was spontaneous.
I go by Komatose most of the time. Komatose = Comatose as in vegetated sleep. A kind of numb existence in which I live. |

I believe the "Goethe" faustgfx is referring to is the playwright of the 18 century who wrote a drama by the name of "Faust"; Johann Wolfgang von Goethe. The play was so arcane and brutal it was rarely performed.

ad. Goethe's Faust:
The play is arcane (its about the devil making a contract with a wise man) but its not brutal. Everyone reads it �n school in Austria and Germany. |

sounds like my type of play. anyone know any english translations? Here in the states, literature was substituted by softcore porn and TV listings a few years back. I just remember the name from my english class. |

Well during college I used to wear an old naval peacoat and had the long hair and scruffy face. Stopped by some friends' place and got me hooked on Q2. SO...needing a knickname, they all took one look at my getup and yelled "SALTYDOG"!! (for those of you who don't know the reference other than the alcoholic drink or surf shop...a SaltyDog is a term used to described a grizzeled old sailor.)
I bring out the old jacket once and a while just for old time's sake! |

there's always something to surpass.
I got the name from Xenogears. The era the game takes place is called "Transcend Christ."
I'm never happy with nicks.

ppl used to call me "computer Boff" (as in boffin) @ school then "PC Boff" so i got it lopped of the PC and a F, slapped on a Dr. and there u go
Dr.Bof sok i guess i used it when i coded and mapped for Quake and Doom II tryed to loose it for another but it's so hard
i was Mr.Hand for a while (from the film DarkCity) but i got sooo many ppl asking me "do u only use one hand then" and such like that i could not keep it i am sket as well for some code i do ive had it for about 6-7 years so it's got sentimental value |

Erm..... How did I get my nick.... Well it might be because my name is Dave T and I couldnt think of any other name at the time. I was thinking of having a Wu-Tang style name like Ol' Bastah Bastah Harbour Masta or Methodical Bloke or Ghost Beer Spiller or Master Miller and the list goes on and on....

I got my nick from the word Typhoon. Dropped an O making it Typhon (pronounced Tie-fin) because it sounded pretty damn cool and I find typhoons fascinating. I wish it had a bit more signifigance to it but it's ok. I usually go by the nick Budweasel because... well, I like beer  |

Hm..My nickname comes from my real name "Chris", kinda corny, but I always try for this first before my other nickname which is "G3"
That is a different way to say my age really. I use to go by just "G", but that was taken all the time, so I thought that G was the 7th letter of the alphabet and 3 next to it, in math it is G*3 which is 21, my age  |
