^smoke on the water.. one of the best songs ever

Back when Counter Strike was starting to gain popularity I had a (very rich) friend that multiple computers that could handle the game as well as a local network set up. We went there to play. I needed a nickname...

I needed something that sounded a bit agressive, so I added 2 letters to my family name. Gran means Spruce in swedish, by the way. It's not actually referring to an elderly woman.

I've used the name ever since. It's fairly uncommon, thank god, so I can usually have it to myself. It would feel wrong now to use any other name, just as it would feel wrong to use any other avatar. It simply feels like my name, not just another internet handle.

As an Austrian with a British surename i was sometimes called Sir ...,
Vice like VicePresident - i have the power, the president the responsibility lol.

one time i was drunk i explained it a bit differently:
im the sir that cums always second. lol

-> SirVice

and i have a thing for similar sounding words.. SirVice, Service....

My initials.

Some of the definitions: A speedy or quick action. Rapidity of action or motion. To move or act swiftly. (Referring to reaction time) Tbh the name jus came to me and i liked it, it seems to have relevant gaming definitions which is good. (Also if you look as some of the definitions, no, im not usually careless. Well at least in gaming)

Mine is basically we are hardcore, as in wii owners are hardcore gamers despite what I was reading when I discovered this site. Most of us have probably been playing video games for over 20 years.

Nice, mine is J.J.B.A.N.

Back in 96 or 97, I was playing Command and Conquer and Red Alert 1 on Westwood Online. They would only let you have 9 characters in your login name. My favorite hockey team was the Colorado Avalanche, but Avalanche was already taken, so i shortened it and added some numbers.

A.G.T.O.L!

How do you manage to have five names?

Mine's only N.M.R.
