[Gatac]

Gatac is a really old name. Like, really, really, really old. It stems from a concept for Command & Conquer fanfiction, visualized shortly after the game came out but never written.

So, the phrase GATAC hails from '96 or so.

Then, in '98, Half-Life came out, and mods began to spring up. One of them was Wasteland Half-Life, whose forums I joined pretty much straight away. That is also where I first used "Gatac" as nickname, to the best of my memory.

Six years. Still can't believe it.
