People ask me:
Where did this "Old Man" thing come from anyway?
Well, many years ago... I got into Unreal
Tournament online. I played, well, too much!
In the course of my play, I kept running into VERY young hotshots that were a
bit... overproud of their skills. They couldn't believe that an OLD guy like
me (let's say I'm over 40 and leave it at that) could match them. I noticed that
whenever I was killed, the game would say in the center:
You were killed by someplayername !
So, I changed my player name to An_Old_Man. When the hotshot got
killed by me, their screen would say:
You were killed by An_Old_Man !
The name stuck, and I eventually joined a clan. (Team)

Times have changed, bots (cheating) ruined the game, the team disbanded...
but OldMan lives on!
