How did CB get its name? (in General)

Ever since joining CB a year or two ago I've never really wondered about the name of this game until recently. So where did Jonathan get the name "Carnage Blender" from?

I'm sure others have wondered about this, is it in the FAQs? Or buried within the depths of the CB1 Forum?

I really do want to know. I'm also curious as to how the "mask" image from the log-in screen came to be.

CB started over 3 years ago :P

Okay, make that "a year or three ago" :P

Maybe Jonathan is a Marvel X-Men fan? Maybe he also enjoys the taste of a banana smoothie now and then?

Maybe that's the answer, thanks DB. :D lol

This reminds me of the old and tasteless joke that went: " What goes red, white, red, white, pink..."

As I recall, Jonathan asked me for suggestions for names, and, after rejecting all of them, said, "I like carnageblender."

Alternatively, I suggested carnageblender, but didn't really like it; it's been a while so I don't remember exactly.

Well, battlefaeries was already taken ..... :-)

yeah, I think Grant brainstormed either carnage or blender, and I supplied the other half.

Well, it was a good decision. It's hard to imagine carnageblender by any other name.
