The first time I had to put a nickname on the internet, for making an account on battle.net europe, I choosed the name of my hero. Now I still use it, on everysite ! But I choose "glio" when I have a clan tag, it's cooler ! | ||

The Chupacabra or Chupacabras, from chupar "to suck" and cabra "goat", literally "goat sucker") is a legendary cryptid rumored to inhabit parts of the Americas. | ||

So I will put mine here (probably again at this point). I used to have the name DaRk_ThOughts in MOH:AA. I was 14 at the time, leave me alone. I kept the name in Counterstrike 1.6 and played that until my clan banned me for "hacking". We were playing a friendly game of DoD that night, and I was liking the game so I played it quite a bit. When the clan leader tried to sneak up to me, he walked on some dirt and I heard it (since the game handled stealth a little different from CS) and he banned me then and there from all the clan servers including the DoD one. I found a realism clan and joined it and I was forced to use my real last name as my name in that unit, so I used my real name for a while. When SC2 came out, I grabbed it on a whim, and began to play it under the name "IronWarrior" because I didn't want to use my real name in it. I chose IronWarrior because I LOVED the Iron Warriors from Chaos in WH40K at the time. Well, move forward a couple months and my girlfriend sees my name and just laughs at it. Says its RIDICULOUS. Well, then I figured, shit, I guess it is and I went to change my name. I thought for a while and realised, I want to name myself something not too obscure, but just obscure enough. So I chose the final boss from my favourite game ever (prior to SC2  ). I chose the final boss from Final Fantasy 4 - Zeromus. Hardest boss I had ever played, frighteningly difficult in Zeromus EG form, and not too many people know the game. Some people do, and they notice it and comment, but very few do. Either way, I like it! And I'm happy with it. Ok! What's everyone elses story? | ||

It's been a while since I've seen a "fun" thread like this hit the top of the forum so I found this old enjoyable gem and figured lets see some awesome stories! This was a brilliant idea. It's nice to remember that games are supposed to be fun! It also helps that there are 2 indie SC2 casters in another tab on my browser right now laughing like hyenas over a production error. Sadly, I don't really have a cool story to mine. I was watching pro gamers and using whatever the hell my brain's internal mechanism is to come up with a cool name - I came up with 3 good ones, and Circumstance was the one that seemed the least tryhard. So I went with it for all my Blizzard stuff. | ||

I'm playing through FF4 right now so I finally can appreciate your name haha. My first username in broodwar came when I was listening to some system of a down album and one of the songs had the word "tablecloth", so I became tablecloth for a couple years. When I got bored of tablecloth I saw a linkin park's hybrid theory album laying around at a friends house and I changed my name to theory and that carried on into SC2. | ||

I went through the process of creating an account, blah blah blah, they asked for a name, I just typed "John", whatever, generic name. So when I bought WoL, I was like "Oh, I actually already have it linked to an e-mail address and password, I'll just use that", so I registered it under that account. Then I opened SC2, eagerly awaiting being able to choose my name and getting online. But I already had a name: John. And nowhere did it say I could change my name on BNet. I FREAKED OUT. Later in time, I discovered I could change my name on BNet's site, but I had already gone under John for so long and I wasn't really sure of a good name to change to. So I just stuck with John. And that's how I ended up with the name "SC2John". My name is Chris. What do i call you in skype? John or Chris?! Hope your not dead btw | ||
