I needed a new nick at some point, and I was looking through everybodies aim nicks, things like sk8erdude1154378
hotchick4476 blah blah blah, I thought the numbers were annoying,

Reminded me of the penny arcade comic where they are on vacation and just put in mad lib prompts, thus Generic_adjective_noun_Combo
...but im too lazy to type that, so I quickly condensed it to Gnounc.

we all do but well after blizzards later changes it became clear to me that getting it 100% working again i would more or less have to rewrite the entire thing from scratch :/ these days its hard for me to even get time to fiddle with my own projects less having several.

[Error]

Back in 1996 when I first got the internet, I needed a name for quake things. I tended to make a lot of errors when coding... and while coding one night, it just clicked... from then on it was Errorabove... though I shortened it to Error when Inside3D changed to this newer forum.

Kinda a crappy name for someone in a programming channel in IRC. I log on and I'm the most popular person... everything's highlighted!

Yes, I made my parents get internet just for Quake.
