Title: where did you get your nick?
Post by: theomen on April 20, 2002, 06:54:41 PM
This thread is for some of you to explain why you have the nickname that you use on these forums.

Example mine is because my real name is Damian, and when the movie The Omen came out, the stars name was Damien, thus everyone started calling me Omen.  However I have never seen the movie, and for a good two three weeks had no idea what the hell people were talking about.

Simple. When I was in 6th grade, there were 2 Tom\'s. Myself and another guy whose last name was Brown. So I was Tom G, him Tom B.

Well.....FF7 was and still is my favorite game of all time so why not use the main character Cloud Strife (shortened to Cloud345) as my name?

almost 10 years ago, friends started calling me luckee b/c I had either incediably good look..or horrrendous luck. The name kinda just stuck. Also for a few other reasons the name was re-verified, but this isnt an xrated type of place :)

SoulGrind came from my skating. I used to be called souly at MA. But my real nickname is bubba. I\'m the youngest in my family so i got called bub.. Someone at school found out and started calling me bubba. Then it just spread.

I think it\'s pretty obvious where I got my name from. Anymore, I keep it cause.. well I\'ve had it so long that\'s what everyone knows me by and because I\'m a huge Sega fan. It\'s easy to weed out who the mental midgets are when they attack you just for your username without even bothering to read what you have to say.

I was trying to figure out a screen name for boneyards, an online gaming service for a game I used to play.  There was an add for the shockwave player or whatever on the page, so I took my name from there.  Since then I\'ve pretty much used it everywhere.

In the good old voicechat (r.i.p.) I was a new guy, even thought
 through lurking I knew everyone there. So anyhoo I couldn\'t think of a nick, so I relised that in this place npbody knew me, I was a complete nobody. So there spawned the name nO-One which just kinda stuck. And I just thought the big O\'s looked cool

Post by: Hawke on April 21, 2002, 01:55:22 AM
I really couldn\'t think of a decent nick at first, I didn\'t feel comfortable using Lei (you all must know where I ripped that from. hint ; last name Wulong), and wanted to go with something more original. Well, I had just spent weeks playing R-Type Delta (see my pic), and my primary pilot\'s name was Hawke, and now I\'m stuck with this name. I use it almost everywhere on the \'net nowadays.

Post by: Rick on April 21, 2002, 03:17:41 AM
Well, my name is Rick, when I first signed up, I thought \'Rick\' would be taken, so I signed up as The_Rickster, cos my housemate kept calling it me at the time. I got bored, and decided to be known as Rick. Sounds less queer IMO!!!!

First of all chumpay, take off the x, I\'m shockwaves here.  Second of all, he had named himself Chump7up on the old cc message boards, so chumpy came from that.

Post by: DarkchimP on April 21, 2002, 12:05:39 PM
Well I was trying to make a user name in starcraft and it seemed that any name no matter what was already taken. So I decided to come up with a name so stupid and senseless that it could not possibly be taken, Darkchimp was born.

My name\'s from a lame parody campaign I made for my main group of RPG players some years ago.

All of them were newbies, so I thought it would be a good idea to make something a little bit stupid but funny at the same time. For some strange reason, they loved the characters in it, so did I :).

It\'s not my actual screen name though.

It\'s the name of da projects I grew up at yall!

j/k:D

It\'s just a name I got from my buddies \'cause of one of the bands I dig. I like music that not to many other peeps like. This happens to be one that I am hard core for and so my friends call me project...especially when we play games and throw disk at the local parks.

Before any info was released on Metal Gear Solid 2: Sons of Liberty, me friend and I had a huge discussion on who would be the next bad ass... And well I came to think, they\'ve done a Solid Snake, they\'ve done a Liquid Snake, so I came up with Vapor Snake.

When MGS2 rolled around I was disappointed that Konami didn\'t go with my prediction and create a bad ass Vapor Snake... instead they created a much retarded Solidus... what the hell is Solidus?... oh well...

Vapor Snake will always rule.

Hey, RPG players like me aren\'t that bad. We like to meet new people, we try to take a bath from time to time, and even get out of our caves to learn about "the real world".

Hell, we even ended that stupid tradition, and now we\'d get married with people from outside of our families...       really!! :p
