I’m not fat…just a realtively skinny white dude (+ that freshmen 15 that I never lost). I’m a total geek—and proud of it. I’m only really referred to as Brian at work. Hell, my parents don’t even use my real name half the time. ---

Basically i’m as a kid i was a huge huge fan of Half-Life / CS (Played the whole Half-Life / Mods thing for about 6 years now), which started my whole “Alias” thing off as i noticed everyone else had their own, the majority of the time people’s Alias’s or “Nicknames” on servers were just copies of other people’s or names of movies / cars or just names that were incredibly unoriginal or corny. In the 6 years i’ve played Half-Life & the modifications i became very good (u’d hope so wouldn’t u really!?), i played for cash at local tournaments and things, and kept trying to come up with several names that i felt suited the way i played / image of my game. Anyway eventually i came up with ProcalX pronounced: “Pro - Cal - eX” which is the Alias that i have been “mainly” using for the last 3 years or so. The name is actually i believe to be completely original, you can even do a very vague google search for my name with pretty much all the results showing being accurate: [google]ProcalX[/google] The “meaning” or “reason” behind my name was quite simple, i was on an 18 man public server, and i was playing CS 1.4, it was a 24/7 de\_prodigy / de\_aztec server and at the end of one map, after a mere 35 minutes playing i had a 165 Kills - 5 Deaths (and this isn’t AWPING as most will think). 99% of noobs accused me of cheating 1% of the other noobs didnt know english pretty much all the skilled players / admins new i wasn’t as i knew them all. anyway, i got called a “Professional Cheater” by one guy who wouldn’t let down the fact i was better than him, and since my name at the time was Si|ex, i changed my name to ProcalX - A mix of proffesional cheater and Si|ex. 🙂 Other names i’ve gone by over the years are: D33m // Mr 2 Tones / JaxXe (when i was just starting to use net alias’s). Common guys/girls lets hear your g33ky past 🙂 ---

School login name, 01 was the year I joined school. Boland last name and first initial of first name. I tend to use it a lot because its easier to remember than other alias have been.
