Behind the screen(name)s

[GuidoHunter]

Guido Anchovy, from the Samurai Pizza Cats
Hunter from Road Rovers

Both cartoons that own you.

It used to be GuidoHunt5, which was far less dumb looking (put two things I liek together, YAY! I'm clever!), but GuidoHunter just worked better for Gaming accounts.

Mad props to anyone who could guess the significance of my other handle, ElSoyokaze. The Soyokaze ("Gentle Breeze") was the warship from the anime The Irresponsible Captain Tylor. But since Japanese doesn't have articles, I had to add one from Spanish.

Excellent thread, Tacodude. I've wondered about a lot of people's.

[LEGO]

I am a LEGO maniac. And it's LEGO you dolts. Stop calling me Lego. Look on the freaking blocks if you don't fucking believe me.

Anyway, I stopped using this name long ago. I now go by Fanya, and for those who are really close to me, Mufage. Fanya is an elven word (olol geek, yes yes I am a geek.) meaning white cloud. Yes, that's completely nonsensical. I don't care. The freaky thing is that only one person I've ever met on the internet ever knew what Fanya meant without me having to tell them. It was some random guy I met in a dungeon on Ragnarok Online. Mufage... well. One day I was falling asleep and all of the sudden, beyond my control, I just sat up and whispered out loud, "Mr. Mufage!!!" I don't know what Mufage means, is, or was, but now it's the name I use. So I guess LEGO and Fanya are both now extinct. Although Fanya still is my level 80 knight on Ragnarok. Oh well.

EDIT: Actually, my first screenname I ever majorly used was blu671. Blu as in Blue, in reference to the Eiffel65 songs "I'm Blue." 671 were just numbers because just "blu" was taken. Yeah, it's really really retarded. I was about 11 or 12. I can't remember the names I used when I used to sneak onto the Yahoo! Java chats when I was 8 years old.

[staroceanfreakx]

IMO, the best game ever was Star Ocean: The second Story. I made an account called Staroceanfreak on gamefaqs.com, and I lost the password, so I made a new one adding the x at the end. I used the x at the end for all of my accounts now, Then, I posted ONE, SINGLE-LINE BLANK POST and got suspended for 45 days and lost 45 karma, So i made another account Staroceanfreak x with a space. That is what I am using on gamefaq's until my old account gets unsuspended, then I guess I'll just use the new one for an alt account.

[ImEric12]

okay, my actual screen name is Chickens Of Doom.

Put quite simply, I didn't originally think of it. My name wasn't working one day, so my friend gave me that name to use until mine worked again. I ended up using it as a prank name for a while (my normal screenname was ImEric12, which is fairly easy to guess it's origins.. my name is Eric, birthday day is 12[th of February]), and a few months ago, I decided I was sick of ImEric12, and really liked chickens of doom, and made it my permanent AIM name. yay.

Also, can names be edited here? If so, if any admin get's a chance, I'd kinda like this to be changed to 'chickens of doom'... not of huge importance, but if you get a chance.

[Xaimus]

Keyboard mashing + vowels in places to make it pronouncable.

[User6773]

"Chardish" is the name of the port town in a small RPG a friend and I programmed about 8 years ago. An original name. That's why I like it so much. It's me. I honestly wouldn't mind having it as my middle name, or something.

[Omeganitros]

Dude. GuidoHunter has won the thread.

My name? Well, first I was known as Omegaman. Cuz, you know. I was a big Megaman fan back in my time. Plus the whole greek letter Omega sounded cool. It stuck.

The Nitros part of my name comes from a crappy N64, Bomberman Hero. Nitros was the name of the recurring bad guy you fought a million times, each time getting harder and harder.

[FishFishRevolution]

I often use "DDRFish" but I didn't want to use it here, so I made the same acronym as the site, FishFishRevolution. Why fish? A long time ago, I was listening to Bomb Factory (some awesome japanese heavy metal band, their music was featured in the PS2 game, DOA2) and the line to one of their songs says "I'm so fish". It was then an inside joke between my friend and I, and we used the word fish as an adjective (among other things), like they did in the song. One day we were messing around with SoF2 names involving fish, and after i went home, i made up "insane like a fish". Now, either I'm saying I'm a really sane person, because fish aren't, or I'm saying I'm totally insane because I know something about fish that you don't. Your decision o.O

Other names:

Madhatter016
IWantYourSandwich
NuclearFag01 (that one was the first of many bots, but i use it for spamming purposes)
SonOfBoromir (really old)
SpeakerForTheDead (reeeeally old)
Trance_Fish
DDRFish
DJ NapHouse (my DJ name) - what's better than a house specifically designed for napping?

[LEGO]

Speaker for the Dead was ok, I really liked Xenocide though...

[FishFishRevolution]

Speaker for the Dead was ok, I really liked Xenocide though...

When I made that, I was in the middle of reading Xenocide, so SFTD was all i knew. I love that whole series, and I think he wrapped it up nicely with Children of the Mind.

[Reach]

Dunno, it sounded kinda cool. So yea, I was just thinking of a new name for an online game one day and I was like I think i'll call myself reach now.

[linus]

<---1. cause i love linus
2. something to do with my real name.......

[flypie743]

linus is cool

The peanuts are cool

But Calvin and Hobbes>The Peanuts (comic strip-wise)

[Anticrombie0909]

Back when I made my AIM name Anticrombie0909 in 7th grade, I was all on the anti-prep bandwagon (our school is infested with them, woohoo for non conformity). For a brief period of time I was Downwithpreps345, then I realized that it looked retarded, so I changed it to something more visually pleasing, like Anticrombie. Since that was taken, I added on 9 (taken), then 09 (taken), and finally 0909. That was about the same time I started getting involved with forums, and I always use the same username everywhere. At this point I'd switch it if it weren't for the annoyance of explaining to everybody who I am.
