Mine is short for HammerHomicide, which I coined sometime in the late '90s or early 2000s. It's a song title by a Finnish HC/grind core/metal band Rytmihäiriö. I was trying to sign up for email/forum/something, can't remember anymore, but every username I could come up with was already taken. So in frustration I took the title of the song that happened to be playing at that moment, which was the aforementioned Hammer Homicide.

I've used it on various forums and sites requiring sign up over the years, since it's pretty safe bet it's available :D So it's kinda stuck. On the forums folks quickly shortened it to Hammer because it's easier and faster to say and type. The '3' in the name is a reference to Borderlands 2 where I played as Zer0.

Scooping fuel is very much like making love to a beautiful woman. First check the target is hot enough,
then approach slowly. Once close enough, pull out your scoop and fill her up. After you're done just
gently pull away, turn around and leave.

My name is a reference to a map in the obscure RTS game Total Annihilation Kingdoms. The map was called Angvir's Maze.
Through another scope... Ang is a Chinese reference to Spirited and Vir is latin for Hero (masculine). I'll take Spirited Hero ;)

For those who are wondering. Its pronounced like Ang (from the last air bender) and veer (Beer with a V).
