A small back story which directly relates to how i got my nickname/gamer name.

So i was bought up very technically minded having 1 grand farther as a wooden sailing boat builder/carpenter, the other as an electrician/model plane builder/retired radio electronics repairer. And my dad who was a also a sailing boat builder by hobby and electronics engineer at Holden (AU car manufacturer) by trade. So i had some of the best skill sets to learn from, but all i ended up doing as a kid was burning thing, destroying things, electrocuting myself & pulling apart every house hold item i could get my hands on to see how it worked and what i could do to make it better.

So naturally i got into PC building & modding at a very early age. But i originally was using REDBACKSPYDA as my very very early gamer tag, But when i really started to get into PC modding and built an award winning Microwave based water cooling rig for a magazine competition, someone who i met through that jokingly nicknamed me Mr Mods, And i kinda of liked it as it did suit what i was passionate about doing. So i changed it to Modz/Modzy and now 10 years later even some of my non gamer friends call me it as a general nickname.

soggyfatman was stolen from my best friends little brother. He had 2 accounts on a game, one named agent gonzales, the other soggyfatman. I saw it, looked at him, said it was mine. Thus, soggyfatman was born. I do not remember when this all happend, I just know it has been around for a long time. I figured it fit because I as a sweaty obese man, the world just needs to know!

My username was actually made up when I couldn't think of one for an alternative account. So I named it Dopplegangers due to the irony. After a while I sorta started to like it more, so I switched to using this and phasing out my older name.

Crusader : is my favourite Tank in Command and Conquer Generals

325 : is actually a random number, cause sometimes i found that "crusader" had been used by other peoples -_- but now, i've always used 325,
because when it attached with Crusader i think it was a little bit cool... hahaha :lol:
