What's the deal with your nickname? How did you get it? If your nickname is self-explanatory, then tell everyone when you first started using the internet, and what was the first thing that made you say "wow, this isn't just a place for freaks after all?" Was it a website? Was it an email from a long-lost friend? Go on, spill it.

I used my nick since I approached the internet, circa 97-98. I mostly passed my free time on RPG and Manga channels of IRC where everyone had a crush for this kind of shadowy names. Kept it because I had nothing more bright in mind and also because changing email it's boring.

What can I say more? Italian, radical leftie, I love videogames and movies.
I plan to contribute to technological singularity someday in the future.
