When my son was young he was called little Gary.....I was called big Gary. A few called me big G for short.

Now is a different story though but I am keeping the name....... :lol:

I love math, physics and computer science. People like this are often called "cube" in Hungarian. I dropped a dimension to arrive to a square and I combined it with Q, perhaps inspired also by the name of the game. Who knows, one day I may file a patent for a square profile cue! :)

Years ago, and we're talking the eighties my best mate and I used to play a computer game called Digger.
Very old game similar to PacMan where your character is a bulldozer and you have these nasties chasing you because you are plowing up their patch.
My reflexes were so good they could be right on my tail, and I could turn and shoot them then keep racing away from them and complete the level. Had the highest recorded score at the time that both he and his wife (who were also very good) could not get near to beating.

My mate always used to say, "You are the Wizard!!" when he saw me pulling off this fast turn and shoot move.

So, when I had to create a gamer handle for online games that was the one that came to mind first and I have stuck with it. Pretty boring hey?


:lol: Don
