Where did you get it from, how did you decide it etc?

 

Mine is a slight twist to the name of the ninja in The Last Ninja series of games from System 3.

Ahhh, well...I've been using it for around 8 years now. Originally, my name was 'Lost Horizon' as there was a rather dark and depressing period of my life. When my life turned around, I felt it was appropriate for my online name to reflect that.

The year was 1995. AOL and my first computer. I played a game called Battletech:Solaris. My first multiplayer game ever. Then I realized that mechs where Unstoppable and that would be my name! I've had this name for 11 years or more. Woot!

I only use this name on this forum. I have different one on TTLG and I use one only on the UK forums I'm on.

Who are you on TTLG?

 

The story of my nick is actually there somewhere if you want to look it up (when it's back up). But long story short, it's from a spoof website I put up when I first learned HTML (still in the wee early days of the net) for recruiting minions to do my evil bidding, me being the benevolent demagogue of course. I made a lot of those spoof kinds of pages in those days, most sort of on the dark side, just to practice making sites and as a creative outlet (since I made them to look good) ... a LBJ/Nixon fanpage, one celebrating medieval Arab invaders and torture methods, some sites for philosophers I liked, etc.

What do you see when you turn out the light? I can't tell you but I know that it's mine.

Nope, I knew about that years before and didn't find it something particularly difficult to deal with. Heh. No, it was just during a difficult transition in my early twenties.

Komag is a "name" version of KoMaG which is just an ackronym (sp?) for Keep of Metal and Gold, my first main Thief website.

 

But there is some Korean (or somewhere) company Komag that makes hard drives, and once or twice a year I get a stray email that was accidentally sent to komag.net (mine) instead of komag.com (thiers)

 

They have yet to sue me, but I wake up every morning dreading it

Many years ago, I used to like to make games for ZZT (first game ever made by Epic Megagames of Unreal fame) and later on Megazeux. I was planning to make a Zelda-ish game for Megazeux and give the main evil wizard a Tolkien-sounding name: Gil Doran. Later, when I became a volunteer programmer for The Two Towers, I changed my character's name to Gildoran. I've been using it ever since.

Mine is a little bit of a long story. If you check www.thedarkmod.com and go to the team section you'll see all about our nicks there.

Ombrenuit was something I came up with when I was looking for a romantic, unique name that would reflect best in a Thief forum (ttlg). I liked it so much I've used it on every other forum I've visited from that day forward. It's "Shadow Night" in french, and has a nice ring to it.

      Things have been so bad these days for me...
      Just a year ago, I've been feeling dizzy, I thought it was nothing, today's stress, that type of thing, went to sleep...Still dizzy! 9 more days dizzy, went to doctor (I would have gone on the first day if NOT for the long appointment time)
      Said it may be Neck Dizziness...I did exercises for 6 months, no changes.
      Went to a Physical Therapist, went to another, no changes.
      I've asked my doctor for a full check this time.
      I hated yesteryear so much due to personal reasons, this year might be the same.
      To be brutally honest, I'd rather have cancer or/and chronic pain than suffer dizziness any second longer, especially when nothing helps.
      Hard to enjoy Thief when you're dizzy so I was hoping this year, Winter will be best for me.

      Hello mappers and taffers! 

      Are you still out there? It is so calm here these days and I am afraid this is no good sign.
      Proof me wrong, tell your best friend (=me), that you are still here and that you will not go away!

      Happy Labour Day, my taffing taffers & hard working mapping friends!
      And remember the poor souls who, within the Inventors’ organization, labor under Jonus’s yoke to ensure the success of that very guild! Always remember the hard workers!
