Tell your stories here. Of course my nick came from Orion's constellation, but currently it's just a forum nick, in Quake I got kinda sick of that name. I actually use Rick that's the abbreviation of my name, but I think I'll change it again.

My dad always called me t-man, so that was my name for a long time. Then I got xbox live and thought of something random, and i liked bioshock so.......

Well, my name is Chip. It's the first part of my name, and sounds good in English. The full version is Ciprian. _________________ My Projects: Quake 1 Mods | OpenQuartz 2 | ChipQuake

My nick here comes from a manga postcard that was hanging in my father's room in their old house... it stuck in my mind since I used to stay there often. I haven't actually watched the TV series. It's kinda stupid. I use better nicks elsewhere

I was probably thinking of "Xavier" from X-Men but spelled it as "xavior" instead while playing Worms online. avirox is an anagram thereof

Scarecrow was taken on DALnet back in early 1996. I was too lazy to capitalize the s, and soon realized it looked a lot better without that. Scarecrows in general are cool to me, as seen in various bits of culture, such as the children's book Goosebumps - The Scarecrow Stalks at Midnight, but also the pseudonym of a member of then horror oriented rap group Triple 6 Mafia, who had early work that actually kind of worked as a soundtrack for Quake playing.

Not for, the existing music of that time in their career went well with, as it had a very dark aesthetic. _________________ ...and all around me was the chaos of battle and the reek of running blood.... and for the first time in my life I knew true happiness.

I came up with Wazat back when I was in my early teens, a fuzzy time period in my memory even on a good day. For whatever reason, Wazat stuck. I tried changing to static_void, static, wot, Cap'n Bellows, and some other names, but people seemed to prefer Wazat (even though no one seems to pronounce it correctly ), so I went back. I'm used to it now.
How I came up with the name and why is a mystery to me. The best I can come up with is maybe it's an amalgam of the words "What's that?", but I have no idea.

Aww, and I was so sure it was inspired by the Sin With Sebastian hit single...

I use to like goblin decks in Magic, so I think that's the reason. But I can't stick with a nickname for long, so I'm known by lots of different names through the web.

Hmm. Since my name is Sami, and I'm from the UK and hate the name Sami. I decided to change it to Sam, with a UK. Not really complicated, but it does it's job. It's the only nick that I've ever stuck with. _________________ Working on Solitude
