jimbodan
05-23-2004, 08:55 PM
I used to have this loser for a neighbor and me and my friends would always make fun of him and call him jimbobob and say it in a really bad australian accent (I have NO idea why, but hey it was funny to us, I think we are about 12 or so) so I would always use jimbobob, but then that name started to already taken on a lot of sites so I switched it to another very common first name, dan. jimbodan is hardly ever taken (in fact I've never once seen anyone else use it). So thats how I got my username.
Admiral Ackbar
05-23-2004, 09:25 PM
Every other screen name on FA one night seemed to be some variant of a star wars name. Darth [Insert Name Here], Jar Jar, Greedo, Boba Fett. So, as a lark, to kinda make fun of that, I chose good ol' squidface himself and entered a srever and started yelling "It's a trap" every time I fragged someone.
Well, it turned out i forgot to change my screen name, and I start loggingg into servers, and next thing I know, everyone is like, "Hey, it's Admiral Ackbar." and "It's a trap."
Thus I stuck with it. I get more recognition from the name than my play :P.

I was into Riven (the sequel to Myst), so I chose Moiety, which was the society of people that lived in one of the ages. Anyway, it's stuck with me ever since and I use it as all my user names. Of course I dumped AOL shortly after that, when our city got Broadband. I always liked it cuz no one knew what it meant. :)

PsyClerk
05-23-2004, 10:18 PM
Shortened version of Psycho Clerk, the name of a e-wrestler I used a loooooong time ago, nearly ten years now. I used to be big into wrestling, and thus was turned onto fantasy wrestling via email and the web.
A friend of mine got into it and created his wrestler based on his job at the time: working for K-Mart. So he made The Cashier. I thought it was a good idea and followed suit. I worked for a video store at the time, so I made the Psycho Clerk. We were the team called Merchants of Chaos. It sounds dopey, but we were usually the comic relief, and it was a lot of fun while it lasted.
I use Psychoclerk/PsyClerk often, because those name are not usually taken. :)

I've used various other screen names, like thepeenil, peenil_wivil, the_wivil and remotelyqueued, but I thought I'd come up with something a bit different this time around.
So, I got to thinking one day what would be cool. I dunno, Grave_Addiction just popped into my head. Now for you guys who think it means I'm addicted to graves, that's not the case. I was thinking of Grave more as an adjective.
Anyway, I came to find out that there is an actual www.graveaddiction.com one day, and I must have put the girl who runs it on my buddy list back in the day. Well, I totally forget about it and all of a sudden I see GraveAddiction pop up on my friend's list. I didn't know who the hell it was, so I got to talking with her a bit.
Very creepy lady. She is addicted to graves.

05-24-2004, 09:30 AM
This is my nickname amongst my game industry friends. It started during my early Sega test days. I was really enthusiastic about the work I was doing. Heck, what gamer wouldn't be at 20 years old? Anyhow, every time I found a major bug in a game (usually an always crash bug) I'd run around flexing like a bodybuilder saying "I found the fatty bug!" It was pretty funny looking since I was really skinny at the time. People started calling me fatty and the name stuck.
It's current iteration came from a friend of mine @ the Sega Channel. He "urbanized" it by changing the 'F' to a 'Ph' and 'The' to 'Da'. Most people call me phatty for short now.

Isn't it amazing if there was one black kid in the class and everyone called him Blackboy, that everyone would be considered racist. And then the NAACP would sue the school for millions of dollars.
But for some reason, it's considered okay to do this to a white person.

Everyday after school I used to wait in the hallway for about 20 minutes for my mom's to get home from work. I was really big into picking my nose, There was only one place for me to wipe my snot where it would not get noticed and that was behind the door knocker (it was kinda big and hollow in the back), thus was born the snotknocker
Monsta Mack
05-24-2004, 01:08 PM
Monsta Mack and Mafia are actually two indy wrestlers that were on a tag team called the hit squad. My friend IRL said he was gonna pick Mafia for his nick on CAG, so I picked Monsta Mack.
My other two nicknames are Jagr (which I usually spell backwards now: Rgaj) and Kefka. Kefka is way too common but I used it for my Ultima Online character. Jagr wasn't too common but I used it for about 6 or 7 years on Kali, so it had to be put to rest. I'm sure most people know where Kefka and Jagr come from. I also go around as David_Blackrose, Blackrose came from my favorite type of rose and David is my real first name so I said what the heck.
My last original nickname was Dwayne_McDohl. McDohl came from the heros name in Suikoden 1 and it really stuck to me, especially since I loved the game greatly (till Suikoden 2 came out, then I went to RPG heaven). Dwayne is actually The Rock's real first name, so I picked it for haha's.
My other nicknames I use to go under as: Sourpuss (...), DarkDave, LightDave, Freeze, Freezer, Ash Ebonysoul, Tenma (from one of Akuma's finishers) and a bunch of other nicknames I can't remember.

06-05-2004, 02:54 PM
Back in high school I participated in a Jello Wrestling fundraiser with a friend of mine. We were a tag team. I was The Wild W.O.P. and he was the Six Million Dollar Jew. My entrance music was from the Godfather, I came out in a beater with a cigar in my mouth and greased hair. He came out to Hava Nagila, wore a suit jacket, black dress hat (with hasidic curls glued on), one of those scarf-things rabbis wear, and a homemade t-shirt that had the star of David on the front and JEW on the back.
[before any of y'all get bent out of shape about the stereotypes, I am Italian, and he is Jewish, and dammit we can make fun of our own heritages]
We were hilarious.
Now I use WildWop for everything, intermittently switching with the MegaHurtz nickname I picked up in college.

BlueStorm781
06-05-2004, 11:47 PM
It's kind of obvious where my name comes from. It's the subtitle from the Gamecube version of Wave Race (which is called Wave Race Blue Storm). The 781 part comes from the month and year I was born, which was July 1981. My name on the GameFAQs board was BurnoutCrasher (gee, wonder how that came to be?), and I was going to use that same name for this board, but I figured I would try something different. Coinicedentally, my birthplace was in a beach city, so there is something relevant to the name I chose.

The clan was NK (nefarious killers) therefore I went by Guile*NK*. When the clan fizzled into oblivion I kept the name Guile and put wasNK after it so people I knew online could still recognize me. Everyonce in awhile I run into old clan members who recognize me so I am kind of glad I stuck with it.

Eric = Me
Mel= My wife
99 = the year we were married.
Eric + Mel + 99= Ericnmel99.
Since ive been married we both use the name for pretty much anything. It keeps things less complicated.

Much like Kaijufan's name -- mine is japanese for "giant monster" (i.e. Godzilla,Gamera,etc etc) - I use this and often the variant Kaijuguy (my Xbox live name even) as my initial forays onto the net many years ago often were related to finding info on obscure .jp monster flicks , selling or buying .jp monster related toys and merch and so on. Although I still am immersed heavily in this type of thing, my nickname just sort of spilled over into all my other fanatical hobbies as well. :D

08-05-2004, 08:54 PM
Let me say I have really enjoyed reading the identities of the usernames.When I first started high school I use to use fwtpimpin03till as my aim name, email address, etc. It stood for football, wrestling, and track ( the 3 sports I played in high school for 4 years ), then pimpin till 03 was the year I would graduate. Then when I 1st registered for this site for some reason it did not let me use that name so I thought of my 2 favorite fighting ( <- favorite genre to ) games of all time were soul caliber ( sc ), dead or alive ( doa ) and my all time favorite developer/company no matter what nintendo. Hence scdoanintendo, ever since that I used it for pretty much everything.

I was a big Tolkien fan in H.S. and I started looking for obscure names throughout The Hobbit and LOTR and Girion just stuck in my head. Only mentioned in The Hobbit four times and I figured he wasnt some big popular hero guy so I'd be safe in using it and be recognized when I go to other places. ( He was the last ruler of Dale before Smaug burned it down).
Another name I found much later is Turin Turambar. Turin being his name and Turambar meaning "Master of One's Own Doom" I kinda wished I had used that instead.

Wet Ninja
08-05-2004, 09:54 PM
My username dates back to when I was trying to think of a nickname for playing Halo over the LAN in college. My initials are WET, so I was thinking, "What goes with wet?" My roommate suggested "dream," but I declined and chose "ninja" instead because it was around the time that the ninja website (http://www.realultimatepower.net) was popular, and I thought it was funny. It turns out that, Halo aside, "ninja" has a videogame connection: in the mid-80's, when I started playing videogames, videogame plots often involved ninjas kidnapping the president.

08-05-2004, 10:54 PM
Hmmm....Where could I have possibly found my name from....I think it was this game called Chrono Cross :wink:
But seriously, Karsh was always my favorite character in Chrono Cross, and probably one of my favorite characters period. I used the name in a couple other places, and it just stuck. So now I use it all the time. I used to use Ghaleon all the time, from the Lunar series, but too many people started using it, so I stopped.

Name's Mark, I'm from Philadelphia.
Not too hard to figure out.
I always have such a hard time picking
screen names. It usually takes me hours to decide.
I'm just using my b/f's username, and he uses it for everything. Its something stupid he made up when he was younger.
When I was young I lived in an apartment building.
Everyday after school I used to wait in the hallway for about 20 minutes for my mom's to get home from work. I was really big into picking my nose, There was only one place for me to wipe my snot where it would not get noticed and that was behind the door knocker (it was kinda big and hollow in the back), thus was born the snotknockerThis has been the best story so far. Lets see if we can find a better one.

Sadly, "Cata Pillar" and "Casa Nova" were my best 2 characters I played during my 4 year EQ stint. At the time, I needed a yahoo account and ended up just combining the two and it's stuck ever since.

D4rkewolfe
08-07-2004, 10:15 AM
Actually it started cause Darke Katt liked the character of Darke Katt. So I decided to make my own character using Darke, and since I like wolves I just made it into Darke Wolfe.
It pretty much stuck and used it for RPGs or forums or AIM, Yahoo and so on, except sometimes Darke Wolfe is taken. If that is the case I just use D4rkewolfe...or really I use it online, so I don't have to remember which Handle it is Darke Wolfe or D4rkewolfe

My username is one that I've used for years now, probably 8 to 10. Final Fantasy III/IV is probably my most favorite game ever. I originally started using it on a local BBS, Flying High. I needed to make up a username and I couldn't really think of one. At the time my Final Fantasy III guide was sitting nearby and it was open to a page with a picture of Kefka on it. Just added the Krazy with the k before it and KrazyKefka was born.

Well years ago I was making an account on another game-related message board. Now Dragon Warrior IV was and still is one of my all-time favorite RPGs (Although looking back I think I liked 2 better) anyway in the story there is a castle in the sky called Zenithia, and the hero turns out to be a Zenithian. So, I used that for my name on any videogame related message board. However, since then I realized that I'm really a horse, and I wish I could change my username to Mister Ed without losing my post count.

My name+Jordan's number+Jordan's nickname. I'm a huge Michael Jordan fan.I was a big Jordan fan myself because I'm a big Bulls fans, actually, big Chicago sports fan. :D
Well, I came up with my username whe I created an Xbox Live gamertag. Most every name I tried wasn't available, so I figured I had to get created. Since I really like Samurai's, I decided to include that in my name, than add my H.S. nickname at the end "T". I came up with Samurai T, and I love it. I like the anime Samurai X, so instead of the X, is a T.

I was falling asleep one night, years ago, and it popped into my head. I immediately jumped out of bed and wrote it down, and I've been using it ever since. Of course, it's too long so I had to chop it up, so most people don't even bother trying to read it.
