All Hail Diablo, the lord of Terror.
Well as some of you may have guessed, this is related to Diablo video game series. Back in the late 90s I was really into demonic, creepy, paranormal stuff (who isn't during Junior High). Then my friend introduced Diablo to me... perfect timing. A great game with dark atmosphere and an amazing soundtrack.
The main villain of the game, The Prime Evil Diablo was truly inspirational. It's very rare the main villain of a video game can be this inspiring. Heck they even named the game after him. Around 2008 Diablo was also chosen the second greatest villain in video games by gamespot community event that lasted weeks of voting (hundreds of thousands of votes were casted and competition had villain from every major game one can think of). Diablo only came second to Darth Vader (some argued Daiblo was still the winner because Vader was a movie icon and the competition was for games). Eitherway, this is how inspiring Diablo truly is.
Anyway long story short. I started using Diablo as my nick during late 90s and early 2000s. Until Diablo became so common that I had to use different variations of the name. That is until Diablo 2 was released, and introduced the Prime Evil Mephisto and Prime Evil Baal. Brothers of Diablo.
Mephisto sounded cool - it was rare and not always taken, so I stuck with it.
Now I have variations of this name. I use Prime Evil Mephisto, or even Prime Evil Tahir (my real name) when Mephisto is taken.
My XBL ID is PrimeEvil_Tahir
What I hate:
People mistake Mephisto with MeMphisto. My nick has nothing to do with Memphis the city, or Memphis OS (later called windows 98). Please stop adding the extra M in my name lol!
Thank you for reading!
