My troubles in Starcraft 2
Posted on:March 18 2011
From time to time I play online games. As player name, I usually choose the one I used in nearly all games since about 15 years, and that is 'Irrlicht'. I eventually also implemented a now quite popular open source 3D engine and named it accordingly. Yesterday, I played a round of Starcraft 2. So this short chat started in game:
Other player: Irrlicht?
Irrlicht: Yes?
Other player: Did you name yourself after that programming package?
Irrlicht: No. I named it after my player name.
Other player: What?
Irrlicht: I originally wrote that 3d engine.
Other player: Of course you did.
Great. Well, at least I've also lost that match.

So, Irrlicht was named after you! That's so "kinda stuff I'd do if it was me"!

Next time, create http://irrlicht3d.org/just_for_other_player.txt, containing a personal message and/or a chat log, and send him the URL.

Hihi!
A related question: Was irrlicht first your nick, or was the little game (having nothing to with the 3d engine) first? (I just do not remember. Maybe I never even knew.)

"Of course you did." People can't believe it when they meet celebrities. :-)

@ak: or maybe a link to this blog post :)
@xaos: The nick was first. BTW: The game darkness springs (http://www.darkness-springs.eu/ ) looks pretty much like that irrlicht game. :)

Well ... my nick is from a great song from Therapy (great band btw), but it doesn't show any real information about me, so when I (nowadays pretty rarely) play the games in a chatroom around here (from a regional radio station) it often happens that a private chat window pops up saying:
"Hi Brainsaw, male/female, how old, where from?".
I normally simply close those and ignore them, I only enter that chatroom to play chess or something like that ;)
