I still don't know what the hell it means, and I have even less of an idea of how to pronounce it. :P

Oh-pee-woo-ay-yee-ock? I usualy just kind of mumble something in my head like htat whenever I see your username.
I just think "Op". Sometimes "Op-woc". :P
If the wiki is anything correct, A Roman.
My scheduling skills have died of dysentery; I hope to visit at least on a monthly basis.
Still, don't forget to tip your waitress.

Close! It's Ancient Greek for the Roman, and pronounced "ho rhōmaios". Although "op/opwoc" made me laughed heartily, and Cecil is more than flattering. :)

I'm glad you re-explained, because your earlier post in this thread was one that made especially little sense without context. :lol:

Regarding your love of the Ecco soundtrack(s) (and Hyperstone Heist), it sounds like we had a bit in common growing up!

It seems so. Clearly we have great taste. :wink:

I already posted mine and discovered a hidden advantage in using eight letters in my Avatar name. I use the same name in Wii and Gamecube games and discovered eight characters is the max amount as a user save name in a lot of the games. Strange, the C64 also has a max of eight letters in saving files to the floppy disk. :D

Hey, mine has 8-letters too :)

I haven't posted mine in this thread yet, so here goes.

My Name:
Pretty simple really. I used to like running at night (night-RuNneR).
But RnR also stands for "Rock 'n Roll" and "Rest 'n Relaxation", both of which are agreeable with my personality.
Sometimes I think of my handle "Nighterner" as "one who roams the night".

As for my current Avatar (which could change any time):
The Sorcerer's Apprentice was one of my 1st experiences with fantasy, which I consider my first love (fantasy). I loved everything about it, the story, the music, the magic, and even Mickey.
But I also think that I feel the same way Mickey does in that pic, every time I pick up a game to play (awesome, I'm gonna' cause some $#*& to happen).

There ya' go, that's it.
...just another lost soul...

My wife painted this cool red skull with a textured background, and I just dug it. I think it looks very Metal! \m/
Then I went to CoolText.com to generate the logo for "Metal Jesus Rocks".

I think it turned out well...
