I've just realised that our esteemed editor is actually Nick Calandra, not Nick Caldera.

Dali'scock is a lot more classy that I thought.

Darthnoxis probably isn't their starwars fan fiction character.

In the spirit of alleviating boredom, any other amusing misreads of forum users names? I honestly only just realised the top one and it took me a few months for the others.

For the longest time I thought one of the Escapist contributors were called Marty Silva, not Marty Sliva.

Incidentally, @Zykon TheLich , is your username related to the character Xykon(who is a lich) in the webcomic Order of the Stick? I've always assumed so, but since the subject of usernames is already brought up I figured I might as well ask.

Let me quote myself from the intro thread...


It's after Xykon the Lich from order of the stick. I joined the escapist on a different account and then asked for a ban a few years later to get away from the internet for abirt. I had Xykon as my avatar back then. When I decided to come back I had forgotten my password and had no idea which email account it was on, plus wanted to leave my old acount behind me, so I made a new account with a slight nod towards my former escapist self.

Darth Noxis certainly is a likely name. There's a Darth Nox.

I always read Eacaraxe as Earaxe.
I read that as Earcake X

Thinking about it, I have been called Zyklon a couple of times, slightly unfortunate connotations there. And I also always read Maxthereaper as Maxtheraper. Fortunately he wasn't quite that edgy.

Jeez, well if we're talking ancient history it was years before I realized that Aerostream was actually Aerosteam.
