I like the rush that i get from gaming at a high competitive level with stakes on the line

hence adrenaline <3
also my gamer handle is now bliss which is kinda the same reasoning with extreme happiness that comes with gaming and gaming with friends <3
Can you feel the rush?

My in game name is Altair. I came up with it about 6-7 years ago. The story behind it is that I used to play soccer, but my best friend always took the number 11 jersey (which I always wanted) so I would always settle for number 12. When it came time to pick a name, I just picked the 12th brightest star in the night sky, which turns out to be Altair.

It now pisses me off that there are so many other people who wanna call themselves Altair cause of freaking Assassin's Creed. Everyone assumes that I'm just another fanboy who's too dumb to think up of his own name.

First online game I signed up for, I called myself BlueDragon after the Blue Dragon Knights in Langrisser 2. Since the name was pretty long, some friends shortened it to BD and others to Bluey. It has since evolved into a mix of the two.

I've been using 'Hapahauli' or 'Hapa' for about ~5 years in every game I play. When I first used the tag, it was my attempt at spelling 'Hapahaole' - A Hawaiian slurr of sorts for "half-white." Since I frequently visit family in Hawaii, and I'm half Vietnamese and Polish, it makes a bit more sense =)

I have 4 IDs i use mostly. When i started playing Halo i named myself Jon117, because Master Chief and I share a first name and 117 being his number (i was young, gimme a break) xD

then i switched to Reaper, after watching the Doom movie (which sucked) cuz i found it really cool as a nick, and i still use it from time to time

After watching Battlestar Galactica (the new series) one of my favorite characters was Apollo, so as a 'callsign' for BSG mods i named myself Ares to be like Apollo but more badass, i still use that name in any space/fighter jet game i play.

and finally, when i started playing WoW i was really into the lore and i really like Doomhammer, the first character i made was a warrior named grimhammer but then i changed realm and made a druid named Helltalon, at level 55 i got really frustrated with how hard it was to level a healer druid so i changed to Death Knight, where i made the name 'Plaguehammer' Plague cuz of Death Knight and Hammer cuz of Doomhammer (my DK is an orc) so i got my DK to level 80 and I became somewhat known on my realm as Plaguehammer or Plague. When i decided to start playing SC competitively i decided a new ID was needed, and i wanted it to look like a korean ID. so i took Plague, which is wat ppl call me in wow and added some capitals randomly, PlaGuE, but Plaguehammer is too long so i just added _R as if to say that the HAMME part is blanked out, it became PlaGuE_R. now tho, in SCII i just go by PlaGuE

when i was a little boy (lol) i read a preview about wc3, thRall the warchief and his adventures. so when the game eventually came out, i stormed the shop, skipped school that day, went home and wanted to log into b.net. but, oh noes!, i didnt have a nickname on the fly, because this was the first time i played online. So i remembered the awesome orc called Thall (or something like that ^^) so i just stole the name, did a mistake, and kept it for now almost 9 (?) years through numerious games and i'm happy with it. but from time to time people actually call me thRall because they know him and dont seem to accurately read otehr peoples usernames :D

My friend and I was quite bored at a chemestry class so we started to discuss how people pick nicknames. We started to write down "cool" latin words like hybris, sobris, antibios and finally I came up with quasi, which happend to suite my double nature (http://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/quasi-) but just "quasi" was a bit boring so I added 1337 spellling: Qw4z1. We had a good laugh at how silly it was, but then it kind of stuck... so basically my ID is a bad joke... oO
