Campaign Creations

Well? Hmm? How'd you pick your name, hmm?

I was on acid and shrooms and somehow the word MantisScreamer came to mind...










seriously though I got it from the Starcraft Manual, the Mantis Screamer was the Mutalisk b4 the overmind assimilated it.

Basically a keyboard mashing.  Really.  I thought it looked kinda neat at the time, so I used it here and there, and it stuck.


By the way, the official pronunciation is 'eh-key-non'.  It differed between a lot of things in my mind for awhile, but Adun stepped in put that battle to rest, by forcing offering that one.

I got on my computer, then I put on a glove.

Well, Frozty was derived from FrozenTomato, which was just pure random word matching.

I stole it from some guy I saw playing unreal 2004(?) on tv and added a -.

I'm a secksi Protoss Reaver.

I was working on a mod for a game called Starsiege. Third game in a line of an old Mech-like games called EarthSiege. After Starsiege came the FPS game that really launched multiplayer teamplay and vehicles into popularity, Starsige: Tribes. The sequels that followed were Tribes 2 and Tribes: Vengence. I'd imagine many people here have at least heard of Tribes.

In any case, I made a mod for Tribe's predecessor, a cool game with a deep storyline and highly-developed history. The mechs in the game were known as H.E.R.C.U.L.A.N.S. Obviously, it stood for some long-ass acronym with words like Humanoid and Articulation in it. For short, the bipedal vehicles were known as Hercs. Since I was designing a mod, I thought of myself as a mechanic. Mech-anic. Since these were Hercs rather than Mechs, I formulated the name Hercanic: a mechanic for Hercs. =oP

AA = initials
7 = favorite number
Dragoon = favorite SC unit

Iskatu is a Zegredark fleet from TOA. It symbolizes honor, strength, nobility. Mesk is the Dunnmur fleet, a symbol of corruption, deceit, and despair.

Little would I know that the name I created ten years ago would bring such a retarded amount of irony today. That's why I tend not to use it much anymore.

What is a Doctor Doack?

A doctor who deals in doacks.

Mine was simple:  Lack of choice and retardness.

How do you mean? Personally, I liked your IskatuMesk name.

TOA = Throne of Armageddon, my novel.

That project = one of many ill-fated wc3 campaigns I tried to make that got nowhere because I can't model.

If you knew about my mental instability you would see the irony in it. (I have Schizophrenia)
