    What is the origin of your username?

    I'll start...

    My username is HugoTheGreat2011. Hugo is an 8ft tall gigantic pro wrestler who rivals Ryu (the known Street Fighter character) and is my favorite character in one of my favorite games of all-time...Street Fighter III: 3rd Strike, a sequel to Street Fighter II.

    'The Great' context comes from Hugo saying he's #1 upon entering the match or beating the opponent.

    The username is essentially similar to my Yahoo account.

    In 2011...I wanted a yahoo email account to say HugoTheGreat, but it wasn't available. Hence, I picked HugoTheGreat2011@yahoo.com. Then, I carried the name over to angband.oook.cz as HugoTheGreat2011, a.k.a. Hugo.

    So, what does Hugo look like?

      Mine is pretty boring... just my first initial and last name. Didn't want to choose something that I'd be embarrassed by later in life!

          When I played Moria, the game would occasionally flip out with letters popping up, clogging up the whole screen. I would ran back and forth a while, then they would go away. I thought it was the game glitching up, or getting tired or something... turns out it was hallucination. Once I figured that out, I was always rather fond of hallucinating.

                                          I was astonished that mine wasn't taken when I signed up!

                                          I know it's a bit pretentious of me to name myself after one of the Valar, but I've been using this nickname since I was 15 and decided to become an astrophysicist, blame it on the arrogance of my former teen self
