About

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.

Way back in the day, I encountered a dastardly fiend while playing Diablo (the original) on Battle.Net. His name was 'Weedeater' and he apparently ran a guild. I left the game and decided to try and join his guild in order to....be mean to him or something.

I figured that if we had similiar names, he would be more apt to recruit me. That meant that I had to come up with a name that had 'eater' on the end of it.

I looked around my desk and I saw a stack of floppy disks. Volia.

Hey...this was when Diablo first came out so I was young and stupid.
