My ID on TL is pretty obviously Pathology(badass movie), but my usual handle is TheHamsta. When I was like 14 I was babysitting and they happened to have *suprise* a hamster. I, like every other idiot bitten by an animal wanted to play with it and probably scared the shit out of it while reaching to do so. It latched on to my finger with enthusiasm. At first it just hung off my finger and I was stunned so I just watched it and bled. Then it bit me harder or shock wore off, not sure. Either way I reacted by flinging my arm in panic and the poor thing happened to go out a nearby open window.

I 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.

I started playing FPS games, and I eventually got addicted to soldier front. My friend came up with a great name, Rai, so then I thought it would be great to add ken at the back, I don't know why D:.

So we became phX:Rai and phX:Raiken , people got us mixed up all the time.

For all those moments where I got ??? in PCKJ

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..

My first nickname was "ET_XTerminator" and i liked it because it was a cool nickname, but in that time everybody of my friends beated me, so i began to train hard to become better and i suffer a lot of losses with that nickname.

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.
you shouldnt worry if everybody ignore you, you should be worry when they dont anymore.

Was at a lan party at a friend's house, and a bunch of people got stuck at a table in his furnace room. The A/C unit that we got shoved under had an Air-King 850 logo, and at some point my sleepless addled mind thought the idea of kicking ass with the name of an air conditioner was hilarious. The name stuck after that.

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

So back in the day when (as usual) some tribes of Israelites were astray and worshipping Baal and Astya and who knows what ever satan-spawn (you can read this in Judges if you are so inclined). 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. 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.
I'm not stupid, a marauder just shot my brain.

I've really got nothing exciting to say here, except for my name is Ryan Anger. I typically use Anger in some form or another in every game I play, although every now and then I'll go with nightcrawling, or Nox.

I'm a very nocturnal person, and I even have an owl tattoo on my arm.

Eat my shorts is a jeer that Bart Simpson commonly says, and 5 is just a random number. I put two and two together and suddenly eatmyshorts5 was created.

Ok... for real...

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
I thought Jesus would come back before Starcraft 2.

I decided to take this name because it describes me exactly. =) I've always changed names between genres, or even overall games and decided this would be no different. Heck, My SC2 identifier is probably going to be different.

When I was in like 3rd grade and I had AOL dial up where you had to like pick your own email address to sign on, I was obsessed with dragons, but since almost every name about dragons was taken, I just shortened it to Drag.

Well I usually suck at making names and I thought liquid backwards looks cool.

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.
My favorite from this page is probably

I use to love Outlaw Star for a good few months, and had GeneStarwind and JimHawking on bnet. I was proud of the little orig names. During those few months i joined TL and here i am

In IRC i try only to use Brian, my real name. But it always leads to confusion. wish I just registered with my real name instead ;\


Maybe if i just start signing my posts -Brian i can have it changed one day
