My screen name comes from the movie Batman Begins, the answer to which is, "so that we might learn to pick ourselves up." In addition to SC, I've also used it for years in the poker community, where I've heard all sorts of (not so) witty things; my favorite is still, "the answer is gravity'.

'Whydowefail' is fun too. :D

Take a wild guess. (No, you would not be entirely wrong if you had a phalic related explanation for it, but alas, it's from the freakin' movie)

When inverviewed, he just said, "he wanted to make his family proud my being the best wc3 player in the world". The last match he played before he passed away he was losing in a televised event, 0-2..and he played so hard and furious that tears started welling up in his eyes.

always wanting my tag to inspire me before a game, and represent an idea no one else would understand without explanation, i took CrY, to play defiant and hard and to never give up.

cheesy or not, it works.


Oh my god.. by far the most touching thing that i've read on this forum. I was just wondering yesterday what had happened to him.. so sad to hear he passed away..

my handle comes from a character in a novel written by haruki murakami called 'south of the border, west of the sun'.

I got the idea for my name from Far Cry 2, a game that I loved. There is a corporation in the game called the Occidental Growers Company, and I just thought the term occidental sounded really cool.

Plus the meaning applies to me (occidental is the opposite of oriental and I am American).

Onion Knights

YAY FF! The alt name that I use (Nevarro) comes from one of the random names given to your party members in Final Fantasy Tactics.

Wassow on the otherhand, came from me trying to think of a unique name for myself when I was trying to create an ID for pogo.com about over 7+ years ago. I'm actually not sure how I came up with it, but as far as I know it comes from a childish 'insult' which doesnt even have a proper spelling (its slang after all I suppose)

If I cant use Wassow or Nevarro for a name, ill just pick a japanese-english verion of an FF Character's name, e.g Barubanesu which is a character name on WoW that I use (Balbanes from FFT)

There was a cute little underground vinyl shop in cologne named "Groove Attack" and so Groove Attack became my RTS nick ... and as I joined the clan "Die Schlümpfe" (translated "The Smurfs" - the cartoon series) and the nicknameparadigm was "somthing-yschlumpf" I became Groovyschlumpf

I played priest in WoW for 3 years and a lot of names was taken. Since I know turkish I tried with the turkish word for priest which is "papaz".

And from that day on I have always used "papaz" in games/forums.

I had to think of another nick since I had grown tired of my first one (Dead-Inside, like the poetic sucker I am. Not named after the band nor to be emo, though, which people seemed to think).

So I sat there staring blankly at the screen thinking of the regular "TheKiller2000", "KillKill99", etc nicknames. I'm not exactly sure how but I typed down HellRoxYa eventually and quite liked it. Hell rocks you, which I guess would make me hell. Or the devil, if you will. It's just the right amount of internet cheese of a name and at the same time just the right amount of wordplay, so I've stuck with that along side my longtime Dead-Inside nickname. Wether it's made me a better player and actually rock people is up for debate.

StarCraft was the first video game I ever owned, and I loved it so much back then (especially the single player) that I wanted to rename myself of one of the Characters of StarCraft.
I started building some fancy single player maps (they were awful) and threw in some of the hero units of the editor, like the Guy Montag Firebat (I didn't get that reference as a kid back then :-)).
The wraith pilot was called Tom Kazansky (named after a character in the movie: Top Gun), I loved wraiths back then, there you go.
