Ragnarok, the Norse doomsday. Nice reference.
I always figured that IDE lived in a village of nerds, but then James Earl Jones showed up and killed everyone but the small boys, who he sent away to be trained to fight in the pits. IDE, the sole survior, breaks free from his captors and now vows revenge against Mister Jones and his Snake People Horde!
I so want to be Subotai!
