Link is blocked for me, the movie is Narc.
yep that is right. And the guy who played Jim Raynor was Jason Patric.

Mine is derived from the son of Marcus Aurelius, Commodus (not related to the movie). He marked the end of the Golden Period of the roman history. In Spanish it is called Cómodo and I just changed it to Komodo because the system of a game (cannot recall wich one) already had Comodo in their player base.
When I first discoverd BW around 2007 it was with a group of friends in my school's computer/robotics club. We alternated days between actually doing stuff like writing code and building robots or just playing games. The school shut down counterstrike due to "guns and shooting people is bad" So we found a new game. SC:BW and massed big game hunter matches. At first we all made new nicknames every game and kept making nicknames designed to anger everyone else. This led to a few arguments and we settled down to nicknames would just be Unit with a number after it. Like Unit721, Unit64, Unit420, and so on. Down the line I ended up hanging on to the ID as everyone else stopped playing for one reason or another. I do use another ID as well in other games which is just my last name backwards.

Greth was born as a character in a Warcraft 3 fanfiction. Back then I was still using 'Hidden' - from Hidden Horror the magic card.
It was a little hard to get that name on youtube, when I wanted to make my first 'Video Report' to post on battlereports.com Who gave a shit about account names, so I chose 'SathYaneh' which was an edgy spin on something.
I switched to GrethSC when things were getting more serious in the Starcraft business - the SC ofc to mimic Klazart, Diggity and Moletrap - now that I got hired as a columnist on sc2gg following my hilarious Vidrep attempts.
The character Greth still exists, a fanfic character, moved to a realistic novel, back to a fantasy setting, then back to a dnd campaign. The character itself is a horrendous tortured soul, stuck in a time-loop that he can't change. No matter his own actions, he is doomed to his fate. He hopes, still, that one day someone will listen to him and change the outcome. But he's far too mad for that now; all he spouts is nonsense. No matter the effort, history never records his actions, it is as if he isn't there.
I didn't intend to use him as a persona. But as the years progress, and the madness of the Vidreps and other rants I make accumulate, I have a deep fear that he isn't made up at all.

Maybe Greth's arguments and pleas just aren't convincing enough 😂
In 2023 I predicted that Serral will win the WCS 2018 Global Finals. Nobody believed me then but hey it's already 2020 and we're getting closer to that reality.

I knew all that actually. And it's been so long since the last VidRep your sanity might be returning... This is not good. ^_._^

Just please make sure you read up on stuff like Unit731 and its horrors before assigning random numbers (Unit721 got me thinking)
In the past I've used quite a few nicknames, mainly rlyfastcar, TurbORaceR, Ikirouta & rOuta.
I used to mainly be an Age of Empires player, rlyfastcar (R1YF4S7C4R or some other variation sometimes rlyslowcar etc etc..) was the name I used to enter AoE2 lan tourneys in Finland in the early 2000's. When I travelled to lans there usually were lots of people playing SC and I started playing with them and I wanted a cooler nickname for SC. I chose Ikirouta, it means "permafrost" in Finnish. You know the frost that never melts. The reason why I chose this name was because once an aoe2 tournament admin told me that I'm like the permafrost of Finnish aoe2 lans, I'm always there, I never go away.
Anyway, I started playing SC more casually and aoe2 was the game I competed in when I went to lans, but I started playing more and more SC after I'd lost (or sometimes won!) the AoE2 competition. I mostly played BGH, hunters, teamgames or UMS cause I didn't really wanna start playing sc so seriously. I can't remember at which lan this happened but at some lan I met some really cool people from a clan called "Metsän Eläimet" ("Animals of the Forest" in Finnish) and their clantag used to be "Elukka" (Slang word for "Animal" or "Beast") for some almost all the games they played. They convinced me to start trying 1v1 on low money maps and join their clan, and so I did. But ]Elukka[Ikirouta didn't fit in the Bnet name so I shortened it to Elukka]rOuta. (Routa means frost)
Eventually those guys stopped all playing SC and moved onto other games that they still play together this very day, I play some CS or smthing like with them once in a while. I ended up changing my name to TurbORaceR for a while when I was clanless and switching race from Z to P so people didn't recognize me. A couple years passed and I was in some clans but didn't use my original SC name in a while, but then I ended up joining another Finnish clan called [Kilju] and I took back my old name and became rOuta[Kilju].
And well, I haven't changed my main name after that (I've used TurbORaceR & Rlyfastcar once in a while), so I guess the origin is a tournament admin calling me the permafrost of Finnish AoE2 tournaments

That was A GREAT STORY... Until... "switching race from Z to P" that permafrosted my heart right there... T_T
