    I love mythology and history especially classical era, so I named myself after a great mythological and possible historical character, i have never been a fan of sci fi so many people think I was named after star trek, not true. Also 211 is my birthday.

    Or, if you follow mythology, the founders of Carthage fled from Phoenicia (I think their leader Dido's husband was killed by her brother, who took the throne). Aeneas landed there when he was fleeing from the Greeks, banged Dido, left for Italy because his godess mom told him to, Dido was pissed and killed herself and BAM rivalry between Carthage and Rome explained in the only way possible.

    My name is simply the prefix 'un' added to 'illogical' to get a word that simply mean logical, of course you probably already knew that but then again enough people mispronounce my name.

    A lot of people pronounce it Uni-Logical when of course it's Un-Illogical.

    The other nickname I had was "PopOnImpact" which obviously implies that I "Pop on Impact" which is a good name I think for video gaming! Especially shooting games.

    You got that from Europa Barbarorum didn't you?

    I wanted to make a World War 2 name for Men of War and Patton was already taken so I decided to use what Erwin Rommel was called, the sly desert fox. Then I used it for youtube and then I used it for here. It wasn't until Kali pointed out I spelled dessert instead of desert that I realized my mistake.

    impact wouldn't be a verb I would use to describe any form sexual interaction. I mean you might be able to fit it into some erotica somewhere but you'd struggle!

    It used to be good when I played GoW (the original) at clan level. When you'd get shot up close and literally "pop on impact" into dozens of fleshy chunks!

    Or someone would score a headshot & "pop" goes your head.

    Shame the first Gears of War game is the only good one!

    Shisno: a term Aliens supposedly refer to humans as in a prejudicial manner; some also refer to it as an excrement's excrement. It comes from a web series that I love to watch called Red vs Blue, so I thought I would run with it.

    Fun fact, the ninth most massive planet to orbit the sun is a dwarf planet called Eris. It is also the most distant natural object from the sun barring comets. It's adjective form is "Eridian".

    It is from astronomy, not fucking Borderlands like everyone seems to think.
