My family is Russian and my father was an old gamer back in the days of games like Doom. His name is Eugene and his friends nicknamed him Jeka which sounds kind of like Eugene in Russian. I picked up his nickname as my ID and have been using it for years.

Ecorin
Estonia84 Posts
My first name is Enrico. Then I changed the letters around (I think it's called an anagram?) to make Ecorin. I played Protoss as my main race so it looks a little Protoss-y, don't you think ? However, that is only the case for StarCraft and this forum. I use another nickname for most of my login usernames etc. But that would be off topic. | ||

RHMV is an acronym for 'Rideo Humi Magna Voce.' This translates from Latin to 'I laugh on the ground in a loud voice,' or more colloquially, LOL. Novus means new; in this case, noob. RHMVNovus is 'lolnoob' in latin. | ||

The Stars My Destination, by Alfred Bester. (released in some countries as Tiger, Tiger) Bester wrote only 2 novels, both amazing. Other one is The Demolished Man. oh and my tagline is a quote from the opening of the book too. | ||

IPA
United States3206 Posts
India Pale Ale is my favorite beer. It is considerably hoppier and more bitter than other kinds of ale. I have a particular fondness for "West Coast-style" or "San Diego-style" IPAs, wherein the hop content is larger than life -- you'll experience notes of citrus, floral aromas, and a fantastically palate-wrecking bitterness. I live in San Diego which is basically the world's mecca for this style. Join me in raising a glass to the beer world's bitter little treasure. Cheers. | ||

I made it after playing TMNT on SNES when I was just a little kid. I needed a nick to play counter-strike and found out that the pink brain in TMNT is called krang. At first, I just wrote it "krang". Then a friend of mine wrote to me on mIRC and wrote my name "kraNG-" and it looked cool. Later I've been using krangsters cause krang is usually taken. Some of my friends actually calls me krangsters irl. In sc2, I felt like trying a new nick. I saw I guy named doyouremember (some capital letters) and thought it was awesome. Came up with inTheMood a night I could'nt sleep, so... yeah: My story ![]() | ||

PizzaParty

I saw this a couple of days before I received my betakey. I just tought it was so awesome. My id on battle.net was Clowncore for much of the beta. I still get some reactions at the start of ladder games like "I like pizza !" or "pizza parties are the best", but no one ever figured out the real meaning. | ||

1. GodsGiftToCSS back when i played competitive CS:S I was really bad, and such, so it was an ongoing joke. 2. Uguu ![]() 3. FLAVALANCHE I was having a lucid dream, and I was skiing on a mountain of Ice cream and candy and other flavorful shit, when all of a sudden an avalanche happens! I skii away as fast as i can, but it catches up to me and i'm engulfed in all this sugary goodness. So once I climb out, Flavor Flav is there and yells 'TASTE THE FLAVALANCHE, BITCH!' after that I woke up and immediately changed my name to FLAVALANCHE | ||
