ALH: Shendue.....Shenmue....???
Yep. "Shendue" is actually a contraption of "Shenmue II", which reads "Shenmue due" in italian.
I chose it as a nickname years ago when i subscribed to a Sega Dreamcast forum (Shenmue and Shenmue2 were already taken) and it sticked. People in the forums liked it, so i kept it and it became my main nickname online.
I used "Nevio", "Nevio_m", "Eymerich" and "CraigMarduk" before. But in the last 6-7 years i've been known as Shendue by anyone but "offline" friends. And people i've met on the internet that i've later met in person keep calling me "Shen", in fact. :)
