    I modified the Finnish word "poju" (boyo in English) to make it more unique and easier to type. Asd is there just because poiu is usually taken whenever I'm making an account somewhere.

    My name is Nick

    I enjoy the cartoon character Kid Nickels, and it's shortened to K'nickles at one point in the show.

    anyways, i don't remember where i came up with roflsaurus, but it's what i usually go by in online games/forums/whatever o:

    One upon a time, I played TF2. I don't know how or why, but I stumbled upon the server of the group "The Goddamn Robots", or tagged as "gdя". It was a Chicago server, I think? I played on that server regularly, because it was literally a notch above everything else. It was mostly vanilla sans a Goomba Stomping mod. The group members were literally the worst trolls that could still make you laugh, and were mostly Canadian I think. I really loved the server because it was almost semi-competitive, and was better than any of the crappy meatgrinding clubs in TF2. I had a unique style of Spy play where I would literally just play an obvious **** and shoot everyone to death. I also played Demoman or something, I dunno. I eventually scored top 10 with vastly more Revolver kills than Knife kills (speaking of which, the Revolver is the best gun). I became a gdя member because I played so often and Haet approved me. The maintainer of the server, Haet became unemployed or something. And thus the server exploded. It eventually came back, but everybody eventually moved on from TF2. And thus, the server became defunct again, and our forums at gd-r.org became defunct. I don't actually communicate with any gdя members often, I just keep the tag as a keepsake from a memory where these bad trolls would make me laugh every day.

    We had a really cool sniper called Dadding. He was so good that everyone accused him of hax as a joke. My hobby was shooting at him and getting critical hits from across the map to OHKO him. He has a Youtube somewhere with sniper gameplay, but I can't find it.

    gdя also doesn't show up in SMNC or MNC correctly because non-standard characters.

    well...


    sounds catchy and I had a some crazy idea too think of a type of gem/ore.

    It fits it well and I'd Imagine it being pink.



    my other name Xenom is short for Xenomorph.

    used Cerilium for about 2-3 years.

    Xenom for about 5-6.

    I considered it at least somewhat unique because all the noob spies keep their knife out even though it's absolutely horrible as a first-resort.

    Speaking of TF2, why are all of Medic's melee unlocks straight buffs? The worse offender is the 8-jarate statue that grants one of Spy's core mechanics for... no downsides. Literally no red notes are mentioned. That thing is probably a little too good for competitive play, even better than the Amputator because it's a passive buff.

    "Infinity Canvas" is relatively new which is odd because it's the only one I've actually ever like. It came about from a "school" (in quotes for long winded reasons) project wherein my class had to develop a brand as a graphic designer, construct a portfolio, put it on the web, ect. I took mine down as soon as I could but some of my classmates got legit freelance jobs from this.

    Anyway, there was a Mobius Strip design I had from before that I particularly like, twisted thrice so as to form an infinity sign. I remembered reading some semblance of the phrase in reference to a web comic by the name of Nine Planets Without Intelligent Life and adapted it for my use.

    Coincidentally, my avatar, while meshing really well with my username, developed independently. I got tired of my old pic and threw this together in half a second as a placeholder till I found a better one, but I realized this suited me better than anything else I've found since.

    Yes. Horrible game, massive overreaction by the media IMO.

    It's banned, but almost every unlockable is banned anyway in 6's. Not like anyone is going to run anything other than the Ubersaw though.

    That's the purpose of the game in the first place.

    You can't do it in real life but you can do it inside of a computer.

    I think my playtime is about 24 hours.

    ... Who was your favorite character out of the 3 pigs?

    I personally liked the older sister...

    I thought you were an artist of some sort. I guess I'm...kind of right.

    I only want to use the username "Critical Hit" on the forums if it allowed spaces. It didn't, so I rolled with criticalage. For this discussion, I'll explain why I use both criticalage / "Critical Hit"

    The name criticalage itself, I kind of winged it. I know Crit, and Critical were popular names that got always taken. So I messed around with endings... "Criticaled, Criticaling... What, no!... Criticalage... Yeah, that sounds good."

    Now "Critical Hit" on the other hand, I was addicted to seeing flashy damage numbers whenever a critical hit occurred in various RPG games. By nature, my favorite games are RPGs. It's actually the first alias I was really content with. The previous aliases were all terrible to me. At one point in time I used the alias "Konata Izumi" back when TF2 was relatively new because hearing people rage over well known anime characters through the microphone was hilarious.

    So yeah, there's your dirt on me.
