Mine is kinda sad. I'm born with a liver disease and i'm hypersensitive to many things that affect the liver like alcohol, caffeïne, chocolat, ...

The few beverages i can drink are tea and juice (mainly applejuice)
Because of this i'm (almost) addicted to applejuice. This nickname i used to use, but i shortened it to Juice.
The exlamationmark is just there to make me feel better :D

Papulatus - Clock boss is Maple Story.

I played Maple Story ~5-6 years about back in 8th grade. When I started playing WoW, I needed a name and just chose Papulatus since I thought it sounded cool. It's stuck since.

Nuitari = the dark moon and god of black magic in the Dragonlance Chronicles by Weis and Hickman.
"Nuit" also means night in French. And at the time, I was also writing a novel where the main character was named Thari, so I've used the combination of the two for as long as I can remember: "Nuithari"

I was watching the sci-fi series 'Firefly' at a friend's house when I was about 12 years old. One of the main characters (think it was Mal) says "a mighty fine shindig." I looked up the definition of the word, not knowing what it was, and found it meant 'a crazy party/brawl' and thought that was cool. A few years later I started playing counter strike source and made my name "ShinDig". I thought it looked cool with the capitals emphasising the syllables. I've been ShinDig in all games ever since. I add 'Aus' to the start sometimes (cause I'm from Australia) on forums, etc if the name is already taken.

Macil was a character from the game Strife.

I fell in love with Strife back in 1996 and I was downright addicted to playing it for over a year.

It was not a very popular game because it was the last game to use the doom graphics engine and it was released just shortly before Quake launched. Naturally with the anticipation of Quake and 3d graphics a Doom engine game was doomed.

Nevertheless it was a fantastic game that did many things not seen again in the first person shooter genre for quite some time. There was a mix of some elements of stealth, rpg, multiple endings, friendly AI, interactive npc's. I loved the game so much that it was difficult for me to accept Quake, which was just a better looking Doom where you do nothing but run and shoot stuff (I love that too...I still play doom and doom 2 as well as Quake DM which some friends).

So Macil is the leader of the "Front" which is a group of rebels trying to resist the "Order" which is a group that has taken over the world. It is a religiously themed order which is controlled by an alien entity that crashed onto the planet in a comet. It releases a virus which affects some people and forces them to obey its will. The entity is believes to be the One God.

The order isn't so ordered after all, and they are really different factions competing with each other to find pieces of a weapon called the "Sigil" which is used as a key to release the entity from its place of holding on an alien vessel. The sigil is also the only weapon that can harm the entity. So your goal starting out is to work for Macil and attack the order and ultimately take over their castle. Later you try to acquire the Sigil so you can confront the entity and either kill it or die which would result in it running loose and destroying everything.

Macil turns out to be a traitor who was trying to use you to get him the Sigil so you get to blow him away and take his piece of the sigil. I liked the character and I've used it frequently ever since then.

BTW for anyone who enjoys old first person shooters but who hasn't played Strife I highly recommend getting it. If you play with the zdoom port you can use mouse look which makes the game easier to play. There are some elements of the game which feel incomplete (maybe they were trying to get it out asap before Quake?) but overall it is fun and worth at least one play through.

I usually play and love RTS games where you can destroy things on an unimaginable scale, or games with great physics, like Company of Heroes and Supreme Commander. I love destruction, and I combined it with an abbreviation from my favorite childhood TV show and now one of my favorite movies Transformers.

So here my ID was born from the perfect merger of Destruction and Transformers.

Orlandu was obviously overpowered in Final Fantasy Tactics on PS1(and every other incarnation), His first name was "Cidolfas" in that specific game (just cid in the others), so... I just went with CidO instead of the typical "Landu" that was I was rolling with for 12+ years. The other nickname I have that splits time with Landu 50/50 has a much more comical background. I don't find the simpsons very funny anymore, but in 96 they were still awesome... In the game I was playing Zaius was already taken, and Za-os sounded similar at the time so that was born.

And quick link to the clip to anyone who has never seen it:

Oh geeze, I'm going to date myself on this one.

Back when BBS' were kicking off, in highschool, I picked Grimm, from the comic series Mother Goose and Grimm that was in the news paper. I thought the little bugger was funny as hell.

a picture of Grimm:

When I joined the expert Team in an MMFPS Aliens Online MANY years back, my nick became Grimm[DR] for the team Divine Right
Divine Right is mentioned in this article:

When Aliens Online disbanded, I continued with others in Magestorm also hosted by Gamestorm (owned by EA) and based on the same sprite game engine. When Gamestorm closed, I kept the tag for a while, but dropped it a year or two later, playing other games.

I used Grimmy in Starcraft and Broodwar (around a D or C- player), as someone grabbed Grimm, and later in most games I added the "man" portion, and numbers as required to make a uniquie identifier, though I prefer Grimm or Grimmy.

So, in Sc2 I am Grimmy, in forums and such, Grimmyman, or Grimmyman123 as required.
Win. That's all that matters. Win. Nobody likes to lose.

When I picked my name back in 1999 when I first picked up Starcraft Brood War I was sitting around with my cousin and we were coming up with names. He told me to use "perfectcircle"

It sounded awsome to me so I used it. Little did i know it was the name of a Band he liked. So I used perfect circle for 10 years in both SC:BW and tons of other games. When i picked up sc2 i realized that Perfectcircle was too long of a name so I shortened it to Perfect.

Little did i know that there was a former WC3 player named perfect. So now everytime i play someone they think im him. It doesnt help that I am a high masters lvl player and he usually sits at Top Masters or GM and everyone at that lvl thinks they are playing Perfect. Now known as RGNPerfect

In 2003 my gf atm(now wife) insisted that we get a dog. Growing up in a "my" Vietnamese house hold, dogs were dirty and they belonged outside. But she was persistent and she allowed me to choose the the breed of our new family member. We both agreed on a Bulldog, the English Bulldog.

Growing up I always watched "Tom & Jerry," and Spike was such a cool looking dog. I did not ever see a real Bulldog until I watched a random Georgia College game and I was like, wow... they do exist. Anyhow, we wanted a powerful name so we came up with Bomber. Bomber the Bulldog. Sounds cool right?

This dog was smelly, drooled, but my best friend and I love him. I looked past all <---. He is a GREAT dog. My foot warmer when I gamed. So I dled my first fps game COD, before this it was all Tiberium Sun and D2. I hung around a tactical realism server and created Bomber for my game name. Six months later of playing this game nonstop, I was invited into a TR clan. After that this name just stuck. Now Bomber is 8 years young and I made him a short vid for his Bday. If you love your dog, I would like to share the dog love for you dog people:

It's really simple actually. SG are my initials, while TheGrizzly comes from my favourite type of bear(obviously)-The Grizzly.

So i started online gaming at 11~ and during that time i was mad on FF (still am) so i went through tons of names, being young changing them every 5 minutes (cloud, auron, tidus, aerith, barret, squall, the list goes on.)

After a couple years i realised i needed to stick with one name to define myself, my brother in law used "MovingTarget" (as we played FPS back then. Still do! ^_^) so i thought to myself, well i get shot a shit load why not just call myself already dead? Hence Capped was born! ~ Much cooler then "Dead" "Deceased" Or "Shot" IMO. - Before that i used "Freya" on guild wars, but i decided it was gay and couldnt be used with a man

Kinda hard for people to understand in MMO's and i got asked alot...played GW / WoW for 5+ years too. SC2 kinda just thinks marine when they read it
