1995 - 1997 - figured out how to play DOOM over IPX used handle Rat-Man
(Rat-Man was a pet name my father called me when I was younger, part a cruel joke, and part a mix of Bat-Man (his favorite comic at the time)
1998 - 1999 - Half-life (handle Rat-Man)
1999 - 2003 - Unreal Tournament GOTYed. (handle Rat-Man
2003 - 2005 - AvP2 (handle Rat-Man)
|_mid 2004- started learning "computer security" (hacking etc) and fell in love with the idea of RAT or (remote administrator tools)
[basically what i would do for the longest time was embed a back door script with in misc. .exe files and .jpg files (works bet with exe's) that would open a back-door (or port in the win firewall allowing my static IP access) from there I was in. so I could do anything from eject a users cdrive to fdisk there local drives... I could do anything a "system" user (win specific) could, from remote.
2004-2007 - halo /haloCE (for pc of course) (handle Rat-Man or RED_Rat-Man) not much story here
Late 2004 - 2009 - BF2 (handle changed to TopRat) Because I felt entitled to my online alias which I felt I had since day one of online FPS. how ever, because I was not in launch for BF2 Rat-Man was already taken... hence TopRat...
2009 - Present - COD MW2 - handle changed to firstRAT (now the handle has a true meaning to me. And RAT means more then a simple animal.)
2010- present - BFBC2 - Handle firstRAT (ditto previous)
The rat part of my name is not an acronym how ever it's more or less a callsign. I have built an online community (of over 2,000 people) who recognize my name
Back in BF2 (2005-2006) I managed a league and a helped admin a clan. The league was called Warclans, and it was located at warclans.us the league had about 600 users, and 20+ clans, the clan was 100+ active users strong
On xbox360 during Forza Motorsport 2s hayday I brought a community drift league to the community that had a user base of over 1,400 members by it self. it was generating almost 4,000 unique visits per day. it was called FDD and I was simply known as Rat. this was at DriftD.com
Through all of this I found my self realizing, leading S*** is boring... haha...
if you read through all of that you must have been more bored then I was writing it...
