One of my ling-time friends really hated Fletch when we were kids and was always trying to convince me that his replacement, Scott Lucas, was a better striker.

Nice. I haven't read Use of Weapons but I like several other Culture novels a lot.


I would suggest you give it a go when you have the time/chance/inclination.

Kriken is the race of the bounty hunter Trace from Metroid Prime Hunters. I added 'King' to it because I don't know. I was 12. That said, while I'm Kriken on some places, I've gone back to the full moniker in general because I've found Kriken on its own to be not the most unique username.

A worm from one of the pre-made Worms Armageddon teams had the name.

I adopted it and changed one letter.

I always used to call my character Rik in pokemon games and such because it was cooler than just Richard but at some point I got real edgy and came up with Riksilver because it sounded like quicksilver. Then on ONM I got even edgier and made my name RiksilveR. By the time SONM launched I'd realised how dumb that was and changed back to Rik, but some other bugger already has that name here* so I had to revert to Riksilver.

*can someone please remove said user so I can have my proper name back thanks

It's nothing exciting... Lor is short for Lauren (my actual name) and the 64 is there because the Nintendo 64 is my favourite console (plus 4 rhymes with Lor). :roll:

I'm not that keen on it, to be honest. I should think of a better one.
