EPTI was hoping it landed in some bushes or something and I could somehow go and catch it, no harm no foul. No such luck. Landed on the driveway from the second floor, quite dead. I told this same story to the owners, I'm pretty sure they just assumed it bit me and I retaliated by throwing it out the window . I was never invited to babysit for them again :O I think a week or two later I started playing quake 1 on lan/online (anyone remember M PLAYER! big pink ui with lightning bolts?) In some strange way I thought I was honoring the slain rodent by naming myself hahahaha. Just kinda stuck after that.

It was after watching the movie Hero a couple times and I chose the name from the female assassin Flyingsnow. I also thought it gave a interesting image despite everyone else saying wtf snow falls.. | ||

So while in training i changed my nickname to "hshunter", but still my friends continued to beat me in scbw.Then when i discovered korean leagues VODS and that stuff i reached a level where my friends couldnt beat me even with a shitty strategy( DT drop, early carriers , backdoor pylon and etc), so i realized that majority of the good players nicknames, are things that have no sense at all or that doesnt sound cool, and the players with cool nicknames were a bunch of noobies. So i decided to change my nickname once again, to a senseless not cool name knowing i was not the noobie as before, and so i thought about a food i like when people make sauce, and thats "mushrooms", so i translate it to spanish cause thats my native language and that was how "ChamPiGnOneS" was born :D. | ||

I also use the ID Domtar a lot. I'm from Ottawa, and when you're underage in Ottawa you go to Quebec to drink (where the legal drinking age is only 18). At the end of the bridge between Ottawa and Quebec is a huge sign for the paper company Domtar. The word Domtar is so much fun to yell out at 3AM after a night of drinking, you would not believe. | ||

Domtar would be a great name for a barbarian! If you play D3 and someone takes that name, I know nothing about it :o | ||

Jerubaal

The first translation of Jerubaal I read was 'Smiter of Baal' which sounds pretty badass. A more accurate translation might be 'Let Baal Plead' or let Baal plead his own case, i.e. defend his own altar, but it's a cool name nonetheless. While we're on the topic, does anyone know if Idra's name comes from the Latin prefix for 15 (e.g. Ides). That would be pretty funny if it had some SC implication like 15 hatch or summat. | ||

Wonderballs

this is not a joke... Playing counterstrike with some random nick (about... 9 years ago) and some guy presumably of the African-american descent, was spamming the microphone with "WONDERBREAAAAD WONDERBREAAAAAD" and so I switched it to Wonderballs and found a wonderbread logo to spray and that I also use for my steam graphic today. lolz | ||

Liquid : Diuqil I thought of adding Maet (Team spelled backwards) to the name too but that didn't look good. Btw, most of the mods have some awesome names, and so does everyone else.

God came in a vision to the son of a minor chieftain named Gideon. God told Gideon to destroy the altar to Baal and Gideon did and the local folk were none too happy. As they were inclined to commit domestic violence unto Gideon, his father said: Well if Baal is so powerful, why doesn't he come down here and defend his altar himself. That apparently convinced them. Gideon later became a 'judge' and was given the moniker Jerubaal. The first translation of Jerubaal I read was 'Smiter of Baal' which sounds pretty badass.
