Nick names, online names and acronyms

No One Can Stop The Apocalypse!
Not Online Coz, Still Tired Aight!

Nocsta, the acronym of the two sentence above. My online name and a nick name I made many many years ago. It is the first name I used for gaming and it had sticked with me through out the ages. I created that name at the age of 13, when I was introduced to internet and online gaming. Acronym NOCSTA stands for the first sentence at the top, as a player name for Unreal Tournament. One of the first shooters I played with friends online. I have been a gamer all my life and will continue to game for a long time.

But this post is not about gaming it’s about the name.

While nocsta has been original created as a nickname/ a game name, it gradually became my personal online alter-ego. I was young at the time and everyone  had chat-softwares like ICQ, MSN-Messenger and others. So I also jumped on the bandwagon and made a Hotmail-account which exist to even this day. Nocsta was mine, spanning 17 years still counting as my nickname.

As time went on during my high school days, some peers were wondering what nocsta really stands for. So instead of telling the truth, I made up a backronym for it, thus giving life to Not Online Coz, Still Tired Aight!

Nocsta is the name of this blog and here is the reason.
