Post by: TaloFinn on December 09, 2000, 12:31:43 AM: Talo Finn was a non-player character in one of the RPGs I ran a few years ago. Of course, a friend of my -really- hated the character by the end of the game. Poor guy thought the NPC would not get slightly annoyed when a player tried to kill him for no reason. Believe that game ended with good ol\' Talo Finn betraying the player or something. Of course, the NPC was originally meant to help him in defense of someone else, but the player always felt the need to assault random NPCs.

For here though, it just happened to be a name that seemed to fit with the forum topic.

Post by: Samwise on December 09, 2000, 02:31:44 AM: I love J.R.R. Tolkien and Samwise is the name of a character from The Lord of the Rings. Excellent trilogy, BTW! :)

I was inspired by Frodo - because I was thinking about his username right before signing up, so I wanted to use a Tolkien name too. :D

Post by: AlteredBeast on December 09, 2000, 08:33:45 PM: Wanna hear a funny story? OK, it\'s not really funny. but dodolododolo (scooby doo)...

I registered in here with the name NeoSega about a week before I did with this on. The story behind NeoSega is, is I love the movie the matrix, I also happen to love Sega, mix it in a nice pasta and Wa La! NeoSega!

So after I registered under NeoSega at my friend\'s house on his computer, I went home and started to make a post (on the old UBB server :)) Put in NeoSega as my username and then *!* couldnt remember the password. Crap. I reregistered, but couldn\'t think of anything good. I thought and thought, then *!* I made it be the first game I ever bought by myself, Altered Beast for SMS. make it into an easy to swallow 1 word name and Wa La! AlteredBeast.

Also, AlteredBeats is my DJ name for when I spin Jungle at parties. Man! That name is the best! hehehehe :D*

* Also, I have another name for when I spin Booty House, BodyTwitch :) After I get done with my set, I get on top of the table and shake furiously :) everyone thinks I am on X, but nope!

What\'s behind your name?

I think that it is just the black background behind my name; unless, of course, the name took the place of the background, then there really is no more background. Which bring up an interesting question: Is my name on top of the background, or did it actually replace the background? Think about it.

BTW, I\'m sure you all know where I got my name from. ;)

Post by: Darth Joyda on December 10, 2000, 03:59:58 AM: I think you\'ve already quessed it ( if not before, then at least from my pic ).

I was a SW fan; and I love the original trilogy still, but I\'m not a serious fan anymore. And Yoda was my fav. character.

So I thought would I sign as Dart Fader, Dart-Maul or Joyda, and I took the last one because it\'s simple but kewl.

I\'m da Joyda, man!

Well, I used to love Star Trek the next generation -serie, wich is the BEST entertainment Star Trek can offer. Oh and the best Star Trek movie is The First contact.

Mr. Spock wouldn\'t be a bad name, but some ST series have ruined the name of Star Trek ( no offence but.. )

Well, that horrible Deep Space Nine serie and Voyager as well... they S-U-C-K ( sorry if you\'re fan of them... )

But I do remember waiting every monday night to see the newest episode of Star Trek the Next Generation ( I was on 3rd grade I think back then )

But these timeless battles ( of nerdies ) like "SW vs. ST" is, I won\'t participate. Star Trek has its moments, but so does SW.

Post by: Dolbytone on December 13, 2000, 09:55:33 AM: I agree with you on DS9, it reeks, but if you give it a chance you\'ll find that Voyager is quite good. I like it as much as the Next Generation.

On my username, well it should be quite evident. I wanted instant recognition with as little effort as possible and without having to make enemies. While some people might not recognize obscure game titles or characters, most everyone has heard of Dolby Labs, so considering I spend a lot of time working with Dolby equipment on the job, and audio has been an interest of mine since I was in grade school, that\'s what I went with.

Post by: Falgarok on December 13, 2000, 07:26:47 PM: My name?

Well, i\'m a RPG\'s narrator( or a DM if you like AD&D) and i\'ve invented in the past a saga called Falgarok. It talks about how easy the people could get lost in the ambition and the search of power and forgot the real reasons to enjoy life.
Sometimes the videogame\'s world could be like this, with people who enjoys numbers instead of entertainment.

That\'s the reason cos a choose this name( and i think that it sounds good too :) ).

Post by: Ratlad on December 13, 2000, 07:37:03 PM: Well, back in high school my nickname was \'rat\'. Once I started posting at message boards I figured it\'d be easy to remember so I began using Ratboy. I used it at quite a few boards but when I got here it was already taken. Ratlad was what ddaryl used to call me at some of the other boards so I used it instead. Not very mysterious, eh?

Post by: w1ngman on December 14, 2000, 03:53:18 PM: Well there are two things (okay, my wife makes the 3rd thing) that I enjoy in my life. 1st, my PS2 (damn, my wife\'s looking over my shoulder...okay, my wife is the number 1 thing I enjoy in my life). We\'ll say my wife and my PS2 are a strong tie...how \'bout that hunny?......<"ouch...that\'s gonna leave a mark!">. Anyway, the other thing that gives me joy is my fully restored 1982 GL1100 Honda Goldwing Interstate (that\'s a big-a$$ motorcycle for those that don\'t know or care). My personal plate for this bike is WNGMAN. That\'s WINGMAN (as best as it will fit for M/C plates in Virginia). Given that usernames typically are taken for "Wingman" given those gamers that like flight sims, etc., I\'ve gone to replacing the "I" in wingman with a "1" and...presto, chango, you have w1ngman.

and when i started to visit forums and to play games in net. i had to create new one and i wanted it to have possibility for little changes...
so i chose Peltopukki.
first word "pelto" means field, and it can be nicely changed to city, town, mountain, joulu or whatever.
pukki is a ram. "the animal"

"oh. and ram also means ****er..So it fits quite nicely with some of the variations. :)
