Your Screen Name. What does it mean?

[frizzy_bj]

How did you come up with your screen name on here?

Mine means absolutely nothing. It was just a random thing that came to my mind.

Discuss...:D

[CrimsonDawn427]

Wanted a different name and for some reasn Crimson Dawn came to me... no reason really

[sillystou]

Hi, I'm silly! No really, I'm silly! :p

[Hungryfreak]

Mine is from the Frank Zappa song, Hungry Freaks, Daddy:

[oshman187]

A few of us talked about our names in a thread a while back.
This (http://www.rockband.com/forums/showthread.php?t=33565&highlight=screen+name+mean) one. Dave's is in here as well as Topper's and Moshuns and Daesanias, AZ's, PJ's, Apples, Howsh, Wolfee, and a bunch more. It kind of died though. Glad you brought us a new one, some of you kids have crazy screen names.

Here is what I said.


When I was younger I couldnt pronounce the first letter to every word. Dont know why...so I called myself Osh instead of Josh. Dont worry I learn how to talk correctly, but my friends called my Oshinator or OshMan. We dropped the Oshinator and my nick name has been "Osh" or "OshMan" ever since.
187 came from a sublime song, someone on x box live had OshMan already, so I added 187. It is cop-code for murder.

[frizzy_bj]

Oooh... I didn't know that this was actually a topic at one time.

Well, this actually is the very first thread that I have started. So everyone has to participate or I will hunt you down!:D

[Colt_Steele]

Mine means absolutely nothing. It was just a random thing that came to my mind.

Random? :confused: Well at least it won't be stumping me anymore as to where it came from :p

I used to superficially resemble a male porn star with my screen name, someone pointed it out to me and it stuck.

[Wolfee360]

"So everyone has to participate or I will hunt you down!"

You can hunt me down anytime sweetheart ;)

[InsaneGame]

I've been trying to figure my name out for awhile.

[Zeleii]

This name? It's a name I stole from my brothers character on World of Wacraft.

[topperharley]

My screen name is the name of the main character in Hot Shots! one of the funniest movies ever made.

[InnocentBetrayal]

well i like writing poetry and i love oxymorons and this came to mind and i fell in love with it.

So there you go. Innocent.Betrayal.

(there is a bit more meaning to it, but its kinda personal)

[Alright_Computer]

Mine is a reference to the Radiohead album "OK Computer". Except that was taken, so I changed "OK" to "Alright".

[Parodygm]

Mine means absolutely nothing. It was just a random thing that came to my mind.

But was it deliberately provocative?

Mine's just a portmanteau of "parody" and "paradigm". I kind of meant it as "question or mock the norm". Been using it for years.

[Sveppi]

Mine is basically my real life nickname. It might be translated as "Mushy" as in "Mushroom" :)

[mr.flamethro]

Actually, when I was in fifth grade, I LOVED drawing superhero comics. I usually drew a superhero by the name of Flamethrower, whose power is, well you do the math.

Second, I thought violence was "Haha, cool!" and told myself that if I ever got AIM (which my parents didn't want me to get) I would call myself Mr. Flamethrower.

I started RuneScape in sixth grade, and lo and behold, typed in mr.flamethrower, but it was too long! Oh noes!

I ended up shortening it to what it is now, mr flamethro

[next jimmy page]

uuhh... next jimmy page? i'm the next jimmy page? i hope you all can figure that out. look at the sig, "turn the page to the next Page." my own quote. pretty awsum, huh?

Not deliberately. Maybe subconsciously though.:D

[KampfVerein]

KampfVerein is an approximation in German of the phrase "Fight Club."

Early 2005, I had just seen the Fincher film and read the Palahniuk book, both nearly life-changing events, and was setting up my new Gmail account / general internet persona. I wanted something related, so I came up with the name using my rudimentary knowledge of other languages.

Needless to say, I've never had to deal with clones or impostors!

[CM_Drunk]

Mine is simple.

I used to be into the indy wrestling scene, and theres a wrestler (Now in the WWE, therfor he now sucks) called CM Punk, and its just a play on his name. Truth be told im not a raging drunk, and the CM has lots of different meanings!

[Shredder87]

I play guitar. I play fast(But not furious) That's called shredding, so I guess I'm a shredder.



But being called Shredder from Ninja Turtles is nice.

[Rawker1313]

I feel like I'm a Rocker at heart, and I'm into punk music so I spelled it the punk rawk way. ;) oh and 13 is my favorite number.

[DarkEternal37]

I could have sworn I participated in that other thread, but I guess not. I've mentioned the meaning elsewhere, that's for sure. Anyway...

As we all know, Chrono Trigger is the best video game ever (aside from Rock Band of course, duh.) Well, it was my first RPG experience, and subsequently I fell in love with the game and RPGs as a whole.

About two years after I played the game, I was trying to think of a screen name for...well everything. After a while, I thought back to Chrono Trigger and thought of something that would be sweet as a reference. One of the basic premises of the combat system is teaming up your characters for Double and Triple Techniques. Dark Eternal is one of the super-awesome end game Triple Techs and thus, I used it for my name. The 37 is just my favorite number so that's all that's about really.

Here's a link to the attack in action. It's pretty OP. http://youtube.com/watch?v=Ix2GDRgcetU

[Lithium_666]

lithium is not original enough so i added the 666, been that ever since socom 3, and no im not a devil worshiper, or religious at all

[Lithium_666]

thirteen is also my favorite number, but in roman numerals, i have it tattooed in roman numerals on my left arm and it looks like its carved out of stone

[hannah_oakwood]

it's my real name.

[frostywolf]

I'm going to keep mine a secret for now to keep all of you forum-goers in suspense and because I kind of want hunted down.

[KampfVerein]

As we all know, Chrono Trigger is the best video game ever...

If you were a woman, I'd marry you.

[instantdeath999]

Well... basically, I was really into shooters when I made an xbox live account, and wanted something to reflect that. I thought of something generic... Instantdeath999. It caught on. I never expected to get into music games, though. I don't even like shooters that much, any more.

Looking back, my screen name is a bit... immature? Well, it's engraved in my memory.

[AlliterationAmy]

As alliteration appeared astonishing to Amy, alas, AlliterationAmy arose.

[rgdrafting]

My business name: Ryan Geer Drafting

Lame, I know. I use it for pretty much everything. I've often thought about changing it to something kewler. But everytime I've tried something different, I would instantly forget it, and go back to good old rgdrafting.

PS- I'm a draftsman....as in house plans. Basically, I'm an architect, minus the fancy piece of paper that allows me to call myself an architect! I could go back to school for a couple semesters and get my degree....but having it wouldn't earn that much more $$, so what's the use? :D

[DarkEternal37]

I'm going to keep mine a secret for now to keep all of you forum-goers in suspense and because I kind of want hunted down.

The only thing I can think of is that it's a reference to WoW in some way. The Frostwolf Clan is a PvP faction on the Horde side. Could be completely unrelated though, I don't know.

[frizzy_bj]

Cool! I am glad people are posting in here. Lot of interesting ones.:D

[FallenAce]

Again, I will repost my original from September. I also reposted this in March, when we had this topic last.


I used to use Kaitou Ace for everything. Kaitou Ace was a character from an old manga... actually the manga series that was the precursor for sailormoon...

Kaitou Ace was the good guy who would come in and save the main girl/hero from certain doom. What made him cool was that he was actually also the bad guy... he was the one trying to kill her because he was conflicted from a past life where his love for her was unrequited. His alter-ego is a pop-star.

I just always thought that was a really cool idea for a character: being the charismatic good guy and also being the root of evil... I liked the duality of it and I felt like I could associate with it because I recognized the potential for both within myself.

A few years back, some things in my life changed and I felt like I "fell" similar to the idea of a fallen angel...

...hence: Fallen Ace. Kind of creepy when I type it all out like this.

Another layer of the onion that is FallenAce has been peeled back. (Good ol' Shrek.)

[maitee1]

When I started doing the mmorpg thing, I needed a name and my last name is Quinn so the first iteration of my name was maiteekwin as in the Denzel Washington movie, but I am way cooler. When BF2 came out, I used it there as well, but everyone shortened to maitee. So I decided to change my name to maitee1 but everyone pronounces it with the "long a" sound versus the "my" sound as in mai tai.

I like it the because I am the Maitee1. :p

[Der_Lex]

My name's a relic from my college days. I studied English and German, and since I was rather...erm...let's just say 'infamous' amongst both the student and teacher population, people would always know who you were referring to if you spoke about 'der Lex' ('der' being the German male definite article, and Lex being my actual name).

And remember what The Simpsons taught us, gang... 'No one who speaks German can be an evil man' ;)

[HMXDave]

My name's actually an acronym.

It means:

Damn
Amazing at

Everything

[kiggidykev]

"kev" is always taken on every forum by the time i sign up, so i needed some gibberish to put in front.

[moshun]

Thanks for linking up that old thread, osh. ;)

Get ready for the TRUE inside story behind the enigma that is... moshun! :p

moshun is a nick I gave myself back when I used to play this FPS game called Quake 2 (ancient, I know)... I played a lot of team rocket arena 2 and I would constantly be on the move, always flicking my mouse around to look around me... Hence the name, motion but spelled as moshun because it's like... cooler or something. xD

(My primary nick back then was PMS-ACiDbaby though...)

[IISonosII]

Mine is spelt the same way forwards as it is backwards, its also name name of my XBL account AND a wireless music sound system

[hmxhenry]

Had to write a HMX bio and register on the forums on my first day here. Instead of writing my own bio, I copied a chapter from the book Get In The Van which documented Henry Rollins' time in Black Flag. When it came time to register on the forums I found out that there was already an HMX dev registered with my name so, since I had just borrowed from Rollins for my bio, I borrowed his name too.

[oshman187]

I sure hope your birthname isn't "HMXWhitestar19" then.

[moshun]

Who is the man behind that mask? What is your true name HMXHenry? o:

[moonshine_des]

Des is always too short or taken already.
So there is a Japanese song called Moonshine Dance by the band Access. And the way they sing it, it sounds kinda like "Moonshine Des!".. So I decided it was a right move to make that my name. I'm not an alcoholic or anything....

[FatWilma]

Fat Wilma was a random nickname my friends and i came up with for this dude that sat at our cafeteria table in high school. he was neither fat nor was his name wilma, but it stuck really well. so well in fact, we decided to name our band after him, which led me to name my band in the game Fat Wilma, which leads me to my SN.

[Wolfbeckett]

Well, Beckett comes from the game Vampire the Masquerade, he's my favorite character from it. He's sort of like a vampire archaeologist/scientist, he hunts the truth behind supernatural phenomena, plus he a Deadpan Snarker (http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/DeadpanSnarker) to boot, which is my preferred kind of comedy and I always identify strongly with characters that exhibit this trait due to having it in ample supply myself. Plus he's just a simple badass, in VtM vampires are very very vulnerable to sunlight, it normally kills them in seconds, but Beckett once was able to run the length of a football field in full sunlight and recover from it.

The wolf part came about because the name Beckett alone is taken in a lot of places, thanks in no small part to the creep of the same name is the second and third Pirates of the Caribbean movies. So I had to add something, and one of Beckett's vampiric powers as a member of the Gangrel clan is to transform into a wolf.

I just google "Define:Sonos" it came up with this


Sonos is a private company founded by John MacFarlane, who previously founded Software.com, that makes the Sonos Digital Music System.
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sonos
(I knew that, i own three >< )

SONOS, short for Semiconductor-Oxide-Nitride-Oxide-Semiconductor, is a type of high-performance non-volatile memory, or NVRAM. It is similar to the widely used Flash RAM, but offers lower power usage and a somewhat longer lifetime. ...

Had to wrestle the word from my brain. Wasn't easy. I've no opportunity to use it, so it languishes at the back of my skull for too long.

Well, I can finally say I've met a semiconductor.

[oshman187]

I just google'd "oshman"
And turns out there is an "Oshman's Sporting Goods"
Thats funny, I never even realized I owned my own franchise. I should go check in on my workers.

[lawrence1103]

mine is just my real name and my favorite numbers 11 and 3

[moshun]

I googled my name and the first thing it listed was: "Moshun Dot Net Got Thick Big Butt Softcore Apple Bottoms!" o_O;

Another interesting result was from wiki..
The Japanese warship Moshun (孟春) was a warship of the Imperial forces during the Boshin war in Japan in 1868. She first participated to the Naval Battle of Miyako.

Build in England, she had been acquired by the fief of Saga, and then transferred on June 3, 1868 to the forces of the new Meiji government.

She rated 357 tons and was equipped with 2 cannons.

[Zidane]

frizzy_bj is random? I thought it was something else....

Zidane is from Zidane Tribal from Final Fantasy IX. I also use the same screen name on my other very loved message board gonintendo.com. It's a pretty world.

[Sayburr]

It's a nickname I have had since about 1978.

Back when I was a young lad, barley old enough to be in puberty, I would often go "Burrrrrrrr, it shore is cold" whenever I got a chill. Well, it was also at this time I was hanging out with all the wrong people, you know, my classmates. Well, when I was a young'en of 12, it used to get pretty cold in the Tennessee mountains and there was a couple of friends talking about how cold it was. One of them said it was colder than a witch's *****, another said it was cold enough to freeze the balls off a brass monkey, a third said it was not cold [and pointing at me] until you hear him say burr.

So, they all started calling out to me to "say burr". Not knowing what was happening, I did to the amusment of all standing nearby. So, they started asking me to "say burr" often... Well, that broke me from saying burrrr when I was cold, but the nickname stuck and there are still people who 30 years later still call me "Sayburr".

I started using the nic online in '89 on the old bulletin boards of the time.

[Parodygm]

I started using the nic online in '89 on the old bulletin boards of the time.

It's getting increasingly harder to remember life before the intarwebs isn't it? Back when we crawled across BBS' with modems with baud ratings in the sub-one thousand range, watching the alien half-light flickerings of ANSI characters... *shivers*

Thanks for the Sayburr story too. I've wondered where that came from for awhile.

The only thing I can think of is that it's a reference to WoW in some way. The Frostwolf Clan is a PvP faction on the Horde side. Could be completely unrelated though, I don't know.

Ah, well, since I'm not being hunted down I might as well post mine.

You're on the right track, but wrong video game (though I have friends who play WoW so I'm aware of your post). It's a reference to a minor enemy in Mother 3 (the sequel to Earthbound).

The developer of the game kept a site showing the progress of the game (similar to what was done with Smash Bros. Brawl) and fans translated the text into English. Frosty Wolf was one of the random enemies you'd run into in random battles and I adopted the name as my net handle and used the picture of the Frosty Wolf as my avatar for a bunch of different sites. I did it kind of out of anticipation for the release of Mother 3 and kind of out of hope that it'd be released in the U.S. eventually, and it kind of started sticking as a nick name.

Random fact: I actually became friends with this girl because she saw my avatar and recognized that it was from Mother 3 and because of our mutual interest/anticipation of Mother 3 she started talking to me. I'd have never thought semi-obscure cult classic video games were a good way to meet women. :confused:.

Meh. I suppose Ill tell the lame story.

Zeleii, My little brother, and I were playing a Halo 3 map I made. We were having fun, and while Zeleii was following me, instead of assassinating me, he decided to pick up a turret I walked by and just literally overkilled me. So, I called him Cpt. Overkill, and I liked the name, so I decided to start using it.

Meh.

my screen name just popped in my head, after i remembered sth. beautiful, when i created a xbox live account. long story short, i use it everywhere now...... i must be careful.....:rolleyes:

[Kariodude]

I was 12 or something. I combined my real name (Kris) with my favorite video game character (Mario) and ended up with Kario (Kario)

[Jixzer]

I'm a motorcycle freak. My last 3 bikes have all been Suzuki GSX-Rs (1996 750, 2001 1000, and 2007 750).

For those that don't know, "GSX-R" is usually written as "Gixxer" (pronounced how my current name is spelled), and I used that as my character name when I was playing Star Wars Galaxies...but people kept mispronouncing it (hard "G" rather than the "J" sound), so I respelled the name phonetically. Been using it ever since.

That's cool. I'm a Phoenix Suns fanatic. And a Mitsubishi Eclipse freak (I have no idea why I love those cars so much!). And I drink way to many Snake Eyes Energy drinks. But I just mainly use my nashphx13z account (the other two things I mentioned were hints at other accounts I don't like to use for Rock Band).

[Lockheed]

This is the name of a Marvel comics character. A little purple dragon from another dimension. I tend no not conform to the norm and have used this nickname or a form of since '99. Not many people get it and seem to think I work for an Aeronautics company,lol.

[musicfreak313]

My screen name pretty much explains itself. I'm not creative I know.

[RockBandRocker]

My screen name means that all my other ideas were taken at the time I registered for the forums. :D

That being said, I like it, and it has a nice abbreviation (RBR).

[SlivedCupWinner]

I'm a new jersey devils fan. They win a cup from time to time. I just turned the devils around = slived. Most of my friends just call me sliv anymore. I even answer to it irl, lol.

Been using that since '01 in MMO's and just carried it over to forums and then to my xbox when I finally got a console (hadn't had a console since N64).

[Lady O]

This is the name of a Marvel comics character. A little purple dragon from another dimension. I tend no not conform to the norm and have used this nickname or a form of since '99. Not many people get it and seem to think I work for an Aeronautics company,lol.

I figured Lockheed Martin as well...oops!

[nashphx13z]

Well, frizzy_bj, you can have the thread...I'm too lazy to bump mine, so I might as well contribute to yours:

My PSN is nashphx13z, here's the significance behind it:
- "nash" is for the NBA player, Steve Nash
- "phx" is the abbreviation of Phoenix, the team Steve Nash plays for
- "13" is Steve Nash's jersey number
- "z" happened because nashphx13 was already taken on AIM, so I added a z...it's stuck with me ever since.

[OrdealByFire]

OrdealByFire.

I think it's obvious.

[superwinky]

In Donkey Kong Country, there is a big frog you can ride, and his name is Winky. Well I thought that was just super.

[Phil Manutz]

hehehe......guess......

[ThrobingCane]

Um..... you can put your own meaning to my name.

[rocketmanpwns]

Mine gaming name it Rocket Man!
Pwns = Owns

Rockmanpwns = Rocketman is the bestest ever and toally pwns all you n00bs.

[Jixzer]

hehehe......guess......

Would you happen to be related to Haywood Jablowme...I saw his name in the paper once.

True story!

No hijack intended...please continue.

[Koenn]

Mine's my name. With another N tacked onto the end. It first came about when I typo'd my name on a Burnout 3 leaderboard. Just kinda stuck.

My gamertag, Stoiqqq, comes from two songs by electronic musician TaQ, famous for his work in the Beatmania series. The songs are Stoic and QQQ, and they're awesome. I used to be really into IIDX and whatnot.

[Phil Manutz]

cousin haywood? hell yeah! barbecue at his place last week....great cocktails...

[DarkSide247]

When I joined, DSOTM was my favorite album of all time, and I like the number 247. <_<

[lawrence1103]

my name and favorite numbers 11 and 3

[next jimmy page]

idk if i posted in this yet... her wait i'll check

[Mystlyfe77]

Mystlyfe is the name I've used for things since like 6th grade. I was kinda a mall goth back in the day, so I think it was supposed to be depressing or deep or something. :rolleyes:
I created an account with that name, but I couldn't ever log back in for some reason (not banned, using the right password and everything). So I eventually gave up and created Mystlyfe77. 77 is the number of Ray Borque and Bobby Orr, two of the greatest defensemen to ever lace up their skates and hit the ice.

[S3norOl3]

Lol this is a good thread for me, cause even my family and friends dont understand it, they think its so no role.
Just Señor Olé
Señor being Mr. and Olé meaning bravo or hurrah, but i used it as "skilled"
Basically Dude with skills :P

[nashphx13z]

Would you happen to be related to Haywood Jablowme...I saw his name in the paper once.

Isn't he the lead singer for Papa Roach?

(My primary nick back then was PMS-ACiDbaby though...)
omg... I think I may know you. O_O

[Stewie]

Well my name is from well Stewie on the show Family Guy. Hey moshun what's up? i finished my story if you feel like reading it now.

[Mikey803]

Mikey my family nickname (normally my family are the only ones who call me that) and 803 is my area code...it's also my gamertag...


...and moshun knows my other (slightly more embarassing) nickname...from when I wuz like...4

^ tee hee~ :D

@stewie: sure I'll go check it out though I dunno if I'll read the entire thing if it's another one of your epic tales since I'm really beat right now. D;

[Stewie]

All right cool

[torchinthesky=rainingfire]

my name is from my two obsessions
fire
flying
and it is a lot like ragnarok i just realized

[Russian313373]

my SN is Russian313373, because i've always wanted to go to russia, 313373, because it was the closest 1337 speach to elite, from halo 3

[Parodygm]

Any thread that refererences "alliteration", "portmanteau" and "palindrome" can't be all bad can it? :eek:

[Kobal2]

Mine comes from an old tongue-in-cheek pen and paper role playing game called In Nomine Satanis/Magna Veritas. Kobal was the Demon Prince of Dark Humor, the guy who'd only find the manhole gag funny if someone died, and laid down sharpened rakes for people to step on.
Since I've always been into gallows humor, it became my handle many, many years ago.

[gavscsa]

Mine is a username I've had for 7 years. I use it everywhere. My friend calls me by that name too (pronounced Gavska as it's easier to say).

Gav= short version of Gavin, my name.
scsa = Stone Cold Steve Austin, one of my favourite wrestlers.

Impressive! I'm not sure I could have survived watching 7 years of pro-wrestling. :D

[Skittles]

I just like skittles
tho they mess up my tongue when I eat to many

[gavscsa]

Impressive! I'm not sure I could have survived watching 7 years of pro-wrestling. :D

Actually been watching wrestling for about 16 years. It's just that I never got internet access until around '01 when my name was spawned.

[guitarguru2112]

Pretty easy to explain: I play guitar and I am a huge Rush fan.

[RicoTheAwesomeCat]

I drew a cat about 2 years ago and named it Rico, then I made 2 pieces of fabric and some cotton balls into a doll version of Rico for my brother (which can be seen as my avatar.) So he's awesome....and that's why I have my username.

[Bonez]

A few of us talked about our names in a thread a while back.
This (http://www.rockband.com/forums/showthread.php?t=33565&highlight=screen+name+mean) one. Dave's is in here as well as Topper's and Moshuns and Daesanias, AZ's, PJ's, Apples, Howsh, Wolfee, and a bunch more. It kind of died though. Glad you brought us a new one, some of you kids have crazy screen names.

Here is what I said.

Dial 187 on a mother****ing cop!

Hahaha...I love that song! I haven't heard it in ages though!

Anywho, my last name is pronounced "bony", so bones has been a nickname of mine for forever. It's hard to get a s/n with the s though, so I switched it to a z (sometimes two).

[zack10house]

my name: Zack Tennenhouse. my screen name: Zack10house. god, I'm clever

[Knucklesdude]

Knucklesdude. Favorite Sonic the Hedgehog game character is Knuckles. The origin of dude? I asked my friend what I should do for a name after I had "Knuckles" already typed. He began his response with "Dude," and I said "brilliant!"

This happened at age 11 I believe and I'm paraphrasing because I don't remember that far.

Edit: Knuckles seemed like a good idea at the time because this happened when I registered to Sonic Zone Forums, my first forum site.

Regrets: Knucklehead, Krazydude, Kookiehead... you get the idea.

[BuRn7 CaK3]

Self-Explanatory (really only if you played Portal)

if you haven't played portal. go play it now!

[gosox333]

My name is kinda obvious. I just said go, sox (favorite baseball team), and 333 (my favorite number). It's just a list of favorites.

[army_of_me]

It's the name of a Björk song... I used to be super into her.

[Deadman2112]

well I first got the nickname DeaD when I was 18 after my first tat

then later on in life during my first Marriage (lol man that sounds messed up :( )

anyway I was told (by her my "X" lol :eek: ) that I was happily married :confused:

and coincidently I later found out that being married (to her) was the same as being dead and buried :p

we were also married by a judge and later I was hung by her jury

so hence the DeadmaN ;)
the 2112 was not intentional but it happens to the name of a rush album that just so happens to be a band that I like so I guess that part was done subconsciously :cool:

[Rockox]

I'm bumping this as a tribute to Frizzy_bj. RIP

As described by a couple of my friends, a rockox is a type of metal hand sign. Where the typical metal sign ("the horns") consists of a fist with your index and pinky finger raised, a rockox is where both hands make a fist with both pinkies raised and you smash your fists together at the thumbs. It is 100 times more powerful than a metal sign and is strong enough to turn even the lamest of bands into rock n' roll gods.

Years ago when I needed an Xbox gamertag, I thought it would make a fun name and it's been my unofficial nickname ever since.

[Kenny-Band]

My name is Kenny. I play Rock Band. Hyphens are cool.

[KazukiFox]

Ever since my days of early trolling I've gone by Kazuki. More recently I have gone by Miacis Kusunagi and Terkoiz Fox. Now I got by Kazuki Fox ^_^

[Chuck_Fiasco]

Mine was just a guys name that sounded funky to me.

[ThatAuthoringGroup]

Well since I'm no longer going by noble (which was my name), That Authoring Group is the name of the authoring group for RBN I started.

[charliesmile]

my screen name is a combination of my actual name, and a handle that i still use on some parts of the internet, "disconnectedsmile."

it's also due to the fact that i (used to) make it a point to not smile for photographs, and i was often told "CHARLIE, SMILE!"

[madcapmatt]

My name was randomly generated when whatever name I wanted to use as my GT was already taken. Back when I first started playing 360, I mostly played shooters and driving games. The title suited my play-style and I liked the way it sounded, so it stuck.

[war_lord]

I could've sworn I'd posted in this thread before in 2008, but I suppose it must've been nash's PSN/Gamertag thread instead. Anyway, my handle is just an old relic from my earliest days on the internet way back the mid-1990's when I regularly played shooter and strategy games online. I still even have an email address with it that I've regularly used for over 15 years as well. My PSN version includes an 83, which is my birth year.

It's not very clever and I've thought about changing it since I rarely ever play FPS's anymore (though it still works for RTS's, which I still enjoy playing fairly regularly), but I just stick with War_Lord since I've used it for so long.

[Jixzer]

From 08-14-2008. My how time flies. :)


I'm a motorcycle freak. My last 3 bikes have all been Suzuki GSX-Rs (1996 750, 2001 1000, and 2007 750).

For those that don't know, "GSX-R" is usually written as "Gixxer" (pronounced how my current name is spelled), and I used that as my character name when I was playing Star Wars Galaxies...but people kept mispronouncing it (hard "G" rather than the "J" sound), so I respelled the name phonetically. Been using it ever since.

Oh, I just heard. Such a terrible loss. R.I.P. Sara. You will be missed.

[clashcityrocker10]

Well, The Clash is my favorite group. "Clash City Rocker" is a song by The Clash. I was trying to be kinda original, so I figured, hey, I'm a Clash City Rocker, right? I guess so. And 10 is my favorite number.

[DiebytheSword]

Part of an old bible quote.

He who lives by the sword, dies by the sword.

[FlyGuyLXI]

I normally go by Daedalus in other forums/spaces. FlyGuy just seems like an afterthought, and more casual, but I kind of already regret the name now.

Though it does have meaning, I love aircraft, in fact, I plan to work on getting a pilot's license this summer.

[NoMoreVillains]

Mine is based off of No More Heroes, which is a Wii game created by the eccentric Suda51.

[chaoscontrolash]

from the sonic the hedgehog series, shadow the hedgehog is my favorite character. his move is called "chaos control". ASH is my nickname, as well as being my initials

[sozozoso]

My name "sozo" is Japanese and since I am both an artist and musician it means "creation / imagination". I've been using it for about 15 years now.

[kangaroo62]

I wanted something that rhymed. This was the first thing that came to me.

[LoopyChew]

Mine is derived from my initials, L. P. Chu.

[nascarfan19]

<< I'm pretty sure mine's self-explanatory

[Pbateman]

Pbateman stands for Patrick Bateman, the serial killer protaganist of American Psycho, which is an excellent movie (with a stellar Christian Bale performance as Bateman) and a fantastic novel by Bret Easton Ellis.

[bermuddy]

i thought it was that peanut butter ate a dude.

[Pbateman]

Haha, not quite. I don't even like peanut butter that much. It's okay.

[HeyRiles]

My nickname is Riles (my friend just started calling me that one day), and hey followed by my name (Riley) is how people usually greet me

HeyRiles

[lvmathemagician]

LV was for where I lived at the time I signed up.

Mathemagician is because I'm a mathematician.

[bigmf]

My initials are MF. I am well over six feet tall, therefore big. I'm not sure why I never capitalized it.

[TheComedian]

Rorschach was taken.

[tridentgum0]

Tridentgum comes from the fact that I was looking around for a screen name and the first thing I saw on my desk was a Trident gum wrapper. The 0 is the amount of said gum I currently have.

[Stormfoxyhomer]

Mine's from: Storm was the name of one my cats, Foxy is a name that my honey calls me. Homer is another cat name. StormFoxyHomer

[hiimSMAP]

SMAP was considered too short of a name, which is what I normally use for my usernames, so I did Hi I'm SMAP. SMAP itself is an anagram of the word SPAM made up up by my dear friend Mutated.

Dumbest decision I ever made on these forums.

[Perfxion]

Perfxion is the name of the band I was using in RB2 when I joined this forum. The name comes from some graffiti tagging I saw on a train in NYC. Before I started using this I was going sign up with normal board name: "Antrocka" my DJ name I used back in the day.

[princessjessa13]

When I was in grade 8, this kid in my class was drawing a comic based on our classmates and Star Wars. I was the Princess Leia equivalent and since my name is Jessica, I was Princess Jessa. It become my first screen name and email address, and now I use it half the time when needing a username. xD

[Mega-Tallica]

Mine's fairly obvious ;)

I used to be big fans of both Metallica and Megadeth, still like them both, but not as much as I used to.

[Mega-Tallica]

UntilWeHaveFaces is the name of RED's 3rd studio album. Well, it's titled Until We Have Faces and I'm very very excited for the album RED is one of my favorite christian rock bands (along with Skillet of course).

I like RED, when is the new album due out?

I kinda like Pillar and Thousand Foot Krutch better as far as Christian rock is concerned, but RED is good too. Definitely will check the new album out.

[Mega-Tallica]

February 1st!!

Sweet! Right around the corner. Hopefully it's as good as their previous two.

[Mega-Tallica]

With what I've heard so far. It sounds better than Innocence & Instinct. According to Randy, it's heavier too.

Nice, as long as they keep kicking out some nice Drop B riffage, I'll be happy. :p

[Mega-Tallica]

Here are the only 2 songs I've heard so far.

Feed The Machine (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=emZ-yssq9yY)
Faceless (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MJwegGUw_P8)

The beginning of "Faceless" has a feel of "Don't Stay" by Linkin Park.

It does kinda sound like LP for a little bit and it looks like most of or all of the album has leaked already.

Sounds good though from what I've heard so far. Gotta check out the rest later.

[seven11]

My screen name on here comes from a "fake" screen name I used to have. Back in the days of middle school, there was this instant messenger called AIM. And EVERYONE had one. Except for guess who. Due to high amount of peer pressure, when asked if I had one, I replied yes, and said it was seven11, which was the first thing that came to my mind. I never had an aim. (Until now) (and no its not seven11) I couldn't think of anything else when making this account, so I used it.

[theundeadrocker]

I was thinking about avenged sevenfold and there song nightmare. I wanted my name to be undeadnightmare but it was taken on xbox live and I wanted all my names to be the same on all the sites.

[Wolfsbane]

Mine is my old character from Vampire: The Masquerade Tabletop RPG
We were asked to play ourselves (hate when they do that) but I didn't want to use my real name as a character so once I was made a vampire, certain events in the story earned me the name. (It is said a young vampire vs a werewolf is certain death)

I also use Corian in RPG videogames such as Warcraft, Final Fantasy XI it's my real name mixed with my favorite Jedi -Cory + Corran Horn-

[whofan]

I would think mine's pretty obvious, but in case it needs explanation:

I am most certainly one of (not THE, because I know of a few people a lot more hardcore than me) the world's biggest Who fans. I have over 2,500 unique tracks on my Ipod, over 200 CDs, over 250 Vinyl (includes 12" and 45s), over 50 DVDs and have seen them at every Ontario show since 2002.
