My reasons for doing this are twofold. First, in recent weeks, I became aware of another clan member using the name Shaka. He/she has been here much longer than I have. Whenever we are playing on the same team, it has created confusion, as many people have been calling me by a shortened name of "Shaka" over the last couple years. This sometimes makes it difficult to know who is being referred to in game play. Second, it has recently been brought to my attention that my former name "ShakaZulu", might be considered offensive to some people from Africa. For these two reasons, I made the decision to change my name. I have chosen Tron, as it is one of my favorite movies. Tron I fight for the users.

These days its pretty corny. I hope they make a third. The second looked fantastic but the only other things I really liked about it were the games and Olivia Wilde.

These days its pretty corny. I hope they make a third. The second looked fantastic but the only other things I really liked about it were the games and Olivia Wilde. Exactly. I really hope a third movie gets made too. I highly recommend reading this book: The making of Tron:How Tron changed visual effects and Disney forever http://www.amazon.com/The-Making-Tron-Changed-Effects/dp/0615494501/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1395674546&sr=8-1&keywords=The+making+of+tron Also recommend watching the special features on the DVD about the making of the movie. At the time, it was groundbreaking stuff. I first saw Tron in the theater when I was 14 years old, and it made a great impression on me at that time that still stands today.
