Real name: Márcio Ribeiro

Nickname: N. KIDDO;

I use this nickname because: It's short for National Kid, a Japanese TV series, super-power hero of the early sixties. I guess he was my first hero from ever since I can remember. He had a cape and flashy light guns and a mask and everything; wow! He was great and television was black and white. The series seemingly didn't do much anywhere else, but between 1962-66, in Brazil, it was a fever. Anybody around my age group knows and saw National Kid.

Alernate nickname:Creedance, Pod E. Bond, PodNC, Nkidd+~ and a few secret others.... Shhhhh!

Playing POD since: I stumbled upon Pod thanx to a demo-game Cd I bought for my son around May/97.It had only Beltane and Alderon and two cars: Gamma and Av1 with no set-ups. I loved thegame for the graphics besides the racing. Though I'm generally not interested in computer games, I really got into and eventually bought the Pod game CD around the end of that same year. I had to stop playing and uninstalled it for awhile. After buying a new computer with modem for internet, I re-installed pod and soon discovered that my nifty 16 track game allows me to download an extra 20 something new tracks and cars. I've haven't stopped playing it since.
