Where Did Your NA Screen Name Come From?

  • Back in my Diablo 1 days, a few guys came in and PK'd me and my friend with hacks. When one of the guys attacked me, some weird effects happened - I think maybe a Scroll of Resurrection-type light went off as a side effect, I don't remember. So two of my friends and I made a little group called the "Warriors of Light", or something to that effect, to fight the bad PK'ers. And NathanOfLight came from that.



    (Side note: I remember downloading an item editor and we made funny weapons to combat the bad guys once. My friend ended up with a dagger that shot arrows. Those were the days...)

    Screen name, not avatar ;P



    you mean bionic commando isn't set in Milwaukee?



    You guys must not have played the game... try it out, hours of fun!

    It's a Blues Brothers crossover where you cross the border into Chicago and fight the Illinois Nazis, right?

     



    I thought for sure his name and avi were both inspired by the greatest video game of our generation or any other, Milwaukee Commando.









     
  • I enjoy Mega Man on NES and I like World of Tanks.



    BOOM!



    Mega Tank. I like it.  
  • Lack of imagination, I stole it from KoRn just added a "e" caps and lowercase vowels is/was a WWF Smackdown thing back in the day. Also regardless what Ozzy says it's still pronounced "monkey" and yes I like monkeys. Sue me.
  • They're my initials. Least imaginative username ever.

    I stuck with a Blooper avatar since it's one of my favorite enemies, and they seem squishy and bouncy. Felt like it fits the name even though it really doesn't. lol



    I always thought that k was a typo

    I do love TNG.   But that has nothing to do with my name.

     



    What about your old handle?

    Hey, while I have your attention... What does your name mean, captainmorgandrinker?
  • Mine's boring. I've used it for years (started using it for RuneScape). I'm a nightowl, I like owls, I like night-time, and my initials are JRM. Boring.

    In some instances, I sometimes don't pronouce the "k" at all.. as if it was silent.



    Come to think of it... I never knew why I put a "K" in there. lol



     
  • "Ichi Ni San"



    A 3-hit move in Killer Instinct done with the B. Orchid character.



    I knew it meant "1,2,3" in Japanese, but I chose it specifically because I could kick serious ass with B.Orchid. I used to play on the X-Band video game modem.
  • From the other thread:



    My name is Eric and family and friends used to call me Generic Eric.
  • Bought it on ebay. Some guy had an up saying he just got made a mod here and wanted to cash in on it.

  • I'm a fan of Liverpool FC and my favorite number is 108. Many people think it is related to Deadpool or that I am a swimmer.

    Makes sense. Seems legit. Nothing further.

    You'll always be KHAN to me, but 52 is good to know next time I hand out birthday spankings.

    Hahaa   I wish I could have stayed and hung out more but just wasn't in the cards. Btw I meant to tell you it was really cool to meet you and I really respect your work. Keep it up. I'll be first in line for your new shoot em up game   Awesome panel! Really cool of you to share your knowledge and experience *tips hat* 

     



    I almost burst out laughing numerous times in the middle of a sentence because I would look out into the crowd and see your damn grin!!!

  • It was my account in warcraft3/star craft online. It was the keyboard shortcut to quit the game.
  • I was playing Quake III back around 2001 and said, I need an online handle/moniker that no one else has that I'm aware of ... and thus Stryphos was born.
  • A screen name I've had since uh... 1999-ish? Ninjas are scary as fuck. IMAGINE ONE WITH SIX ARMS COMING AT YOU DOING ALL KINDS OF CRAZY KUNG-FU BULLSHIT.



    Was inspired from watching Dragon Ball and Fist of the North Star. Every time it showed either Ken or Goku going nuts, it was usually done with six fists to show their superior speed.



    My avatar is just me, because I'm pretty.
