50cent in romanian currency

i don't like rap music, just thought it would be funny and found it surprising no one else got it before me when i joined some football manager game

othewise i use mostly emo names on the internet
I'm posting on twoplustwo because I have always been amazed at the level of talent that populates this site --- it's almost unparalleled on the Internet.

First name in online gaming was BRETTPACH a combination of my first and the first 4 letters of my last name and all caps because I was like 11 and thought I was the shit.

After that came Grouty, taken straight from the Something Awful forum post "How to win at starcraft"(link) It just made me laugh so hard reading that in different voices and such. Don't use it anymore on here because I got in a flamewar with uhjoo way back in 2k5 but I still play on it sometimes and have a HoN account with it.


Mine current one is quite easy it's just because I sin. I'm not religious or anything but I lie and do other things that are immoral sometimes.
seriously though I used to be the leader of a clan called Nightsin and I wanted to chop it down to just sin for the TL boards. Sin was taken so I just decided to let everyone know that I do indeed sin. Also I thought I'd be cool and capitalize every other letter(I can't blame this one on being 11 I'm just stupid) but I tend to go by iSin in games now.a

When I was like 13 or something I really liked final fantasy games, and the latest one I had played was FFX, but I didn't want some cliche name like Tidus (mostly because FFX fucking sucked, if I was around when FFIII/XI was popular I totally would have named myself Locke or Sabin or something) so I picked some random character I thought was fairly cool which in this case was "Little Chava", a cactaur that's part of a sidequest in the game.
Then, I just kinda kept the name. Later I realized chava was Mexican slang for girlfriend. Then it was too late to change. I had no choice but to keep it.

So I absolutely love those just amazingly epic games, where someone is pushed hard, back against the wall and against all odds, wether its because of crazy micro or a proxy building or a hidden expansion or something and they beat the guy who should of won the game.

When I play starcraft sometimes I get this like super emotion its hard to explain, (im not saying im the greatest player.. but..) like, sometimes I'll be way behind and the game looks like GG, like theres no way I can comeback... and then it happens, I just get in the zone... and pull some insane macro and micro out of my ass that I normally would never be able to do and just pull back into the game and evenetually I see those beautiful letters, "gg"... so and so has left the game, and I just feel like.. wow, how the hell did I just do that...

do what?

Meh, I usually don't tell people the meaning behind my ID (because i'm a fucking tease), but thats because its not interesting.
It took me awhile to come up with an id that stood (i've had some lame ones in my 12 year old days), but eventually i settled with Come Together (as in the song from the beatles). For some odd reason, that song always brings such a sense of nostalgia of being little, is damn catchy, and the title has a decent feeling behind it.
Shorten Come Together to Comeh, and you have a fairly unique nickname that no one can pronounce correctly for some reason (come eh). :D

I had a game like this recently that I lost all but like 6 SCVs to a bunch of speedlings. It's such a good feeling when you see that GG or them bitching about how x unit is OP and it let you win.

How many people can say "I'm Impervious"? Seriously? Huge psychological edge there.

Other main AKA with a theme - Epimethius. Basically, a Titan from Greek mythology which was, basically, responsible for unleashing all of evil to the world. Plus, it sounds badass.

I have others, but they're not as good as either of these two.

Back then when I didn't know about the internet, my Play Station was my best friend. FFIX is probably my first game on it, and it took me about 4 years to finally beat the game (discs/memory cards breaks, stuck in disc 2 for months etc...).

I was playing Tales of Monkey Island Chapter 1: Launch of the Screaming Narwhal one day way back when and didn't know what name to put in live stream when I first started watching live streams and I got it from there.
When I die, I want to go peacefully like my Grandfather did, in his sleep -- not screaming, like the passengers in his car.

Your unused account has never forgiven you for abandoning it. It has resolved to always haunt you. Because it has a Terran icon, it has used its supernatural powers to make the Terran race the bane of your existence.

Because you fucked up your account creation, you are destined to always fall prey to Terran imba.

Back when i was... I dunno really like what? 11? I got my first RTS game, Warcraft 3. my friend and I organised to play matches after school on a friday on our epic dialup connections. Upun first trying to access Battle.net I needed to create an account. So what did I do? I took the first letter from my first name, C and the first 3 letters of my last name CAM and became CCAM.

On day when creating an account for gamereplays.org my finger slipped on the first c resulting in xccam. I thought X's make everything cool. So i was cool, right?

After a string of poorly chosen names (with one exception, SoulCutter), I decided to choose a cool backwards name. Retsam was the first I thought of, but I had on rare occasion seen other people with that. After long reflection, rotanimod finally came to mind. Not only is it unique (at least it used to be, I have seen a couple posers now) but it has a sweet alternating consonant-vowel pattern which makes it look badass with alternating caps.

Now that I am older and more professional, alternating caps is less befitting and I generally go by rotanimod or Rotanimod. My actual gamer tag, though, will forever be RoTaNiMoD.


I remember a decent WC3 player who went by RoTaNiMoD o_O


Dude that's me.

Usually forums don't allow the entire "something against you" so i had to shorten it into s.a.y

After that, i usually dick around letters and dots, getting sayka, say and so on.
I am not good with quotes
