_aventari_ is from a incantation Lord Britsh utters when resurrecting you in Ultima IV.
Back in the day I was on a C-64 w/ a 300 baud modem and my friends and I were really into Ultima.

I've had this handle since I was about 12 (so thats 10 years, can you do the math?) ;]

before that I was "GiMLi"

I'm Pete so go figure. I earned it for real by chucking some paperclips on a circuit board. Manufacturer said it wasn't his problem when it played up, so I made it a warranty issue. It burned.

for those of you who can't:

that little green dude with the big eyes (race=rodian) who catches up with han solo in the mos eisely cantina and gets fried. poor greedo. he was so close. and nobody gives him any credit.. everyone loves that lousy boba fett.. stupid fett.. flyin' around on his goddamn jet pack.. grr.

anyway.. have been using this handle for the better part of 4 years and still going strong. all started on the text based bbs's back in the day. im talking 14.4 modems, ansi graphics, and games like legend of the red dragon...
damn..
its been a while..

Also I like the name as its from mythology (a male demon) and its from the latin meaning "nightmare" (incubo)

There ya go.
