A New Legend Is Born!!!
 

Hello folks, Tetsu Deinonychus, here (though I may be known as ヴァルキリ by the time you read this). I'd like to announce that this marks my 2500th post!

That means I now have official "Legendary" status on the Technodrome! :D :) :D :)

Legendary status means nothing (other than "I have no life"), but damn ain't it cool! 8)

Congrats dear ヴァルキリ!!!

For your present, I'll hook you up with a WCW theme of your choice!

...That's the best I can offer :(

Well, let me be the second to congratulate you! :D

*raises a bottle of whisky in a brown paper bag* Here's to another 2500!

Great, now two people with ???? for a name.

Matt, you know, to see their true names, which are as legible as ??? (so it actually doesn't matter), all you have to do is install some language pack, restart your computer, fly to the moon while balancing an egg on your nose, fart in excitement twice and last but not least: Speak japanese (which is porbably the least likely thing I will do just to read a name).

Hey, congrats on your postcount, ヴァルキリ!

*gives ヴァルキリ a mango of congratulations* :mango:

Copycat! Only I can have the question mark/boxes name! :x

Congrabs, Tetsu... or the artist formerly known as.

Also, I think I've grown kind of fond of the ???s and whatnot. If only because Ai's avatar looks like a big ol' :-? as evidenced here:

:-? :-? :-?

Congrats, dude! Very impressive. Yeah… impressive. :tparty:

Is there cake?

I think I shall hereby be known as the Artist formally known as GK.

Or you can just call me "The Artist".

:lol: It's not really question marks, you know. It's Japanese text. But if your computer doesn't have japanese text installed, it will substitute question marks in it's place.

In case you're wondering Ai's name is read as "Takahashi Ai", and my name is read as "Varukiri" which, is just the Japanese transliteration of "Valkyrie".

I know it's Japanese, but as I can't read the language or really bother much with sites in Japanese, I don't see much point in installing it. Good to know what the names mean though.

The question marks though, they amuse me to no end.

So, if your name means Valkyrie... then why the heck don't you just call yourself "Valkyrie"? I mean, my name means Anarky and, guess what, I call myself Anarky. I don't want anyone to have to get a new computer with Koizumi's signature on Mars just to read some names.

Congratulations, Tetsu.

I'm getting there. Legendary status is like getting your own Hollywood Star around here.:D

Because, I didn't name myself after the Norse warrior women, so much as I named myself after the mech-planes from the anime series: Macross.

I was watching Macross II the other day and I REALLY liked the way the word was pronounced in Japanese (Va-ru-ki-ri). ALOT more than I ever liked the word before. So, I thought I'd use that as my name for a few months. Non-Japanese words, in Japanese, are usually written in Katakana symbols, so that's what I did.

:lol: I figured you knew. I was just making sure.

I don't see why it matters. the only reason someone would need a new computer to read it is if they were running the original version of Windows. And even then, I'm pretty sure even that suppourted asian text. I think I'll change my name to さくら :lol:

Did anyone ever think what names are for? They are there to refer to somebody or something. Funnily, when I say "Scribble said, that..." noone gets who I'm talking about and I honestly don't want to copypaste a name just to talk to a person. We have 26 nice letters (here, we even have 29 - ä,ö,ü included), why can't we use them? I mean, my screenname I had before Anarky had an ä in it. Guess, why I didn't take that name here...

And besides, being able to see a name properly doesn't necessarily mean that one can read it.

And no, I don't think the Kanji- or Katakananames are funny or a good idea.

Then type out their name in english letters. It's obvious they don't have a problem with it. Go add the ä to your name, we won't care. People can type their name in whatever language they want it's really silly to throw a fit over it.

What if I can't decipher the name itself. "Thingybob said..." or what?

Just ask them then! It's only two people thus far (And no, I wasn't really going to change my name to Sakura, it's just one of the few things I can spell in japanese.) and we know what their names are at this point. I still plan on calling ヴァルキリ Tetsu, and I've always called 高橋愛, Ai. It's just a silly name, it puts a smile on their face I say just leave 'em be :)

lmao... and yes "Thingybob said" works also :lol:

...We need a "Thingybob" here.
