What brought you here:
Hehe, I'm oooooooolllllllllddddddd school - I got GV for my birthday many years ago and used to hang around the GV forums a bit.

I haven't looked back since.

9) Explain what your avatar is or where your sig came from:
My avatar is a pic of the Grim Reaper. I was in a rather grim mood one day so decided to set that as my buddy icon. It's kinda grown on me, so slowly it's made its way as my avatar in the various forums I frequent.

The Shawshank Redemption.
But then there's been so many other good movies that I loved - The Lord of the Rings Trilogy, The Matrix Trilogy,

Ahh I guess it should be my turn now...

1. Darke. Otherwise known as Alex.

2. The Land the Gods Forgot: New Jersey

3. City of Heroes. Doom3 takes a close second.

9. The avatar is from my COH character Darke One. .As for the sig, I forgot who said it, but it reflects part of my philosophy of life. (Live becasue death can come at any time)

10. Hands down, The Lord of the Rings Trilogy. After that, The Crow followed by Terminator 2.

The Link? Well on those rare occasions I would pop into the GCC chat room, the one person I would have to chat with was always Triax, who was usually up way to late in his corner of the world.
