How have you abused the ability to name your main character in a game before

[thel1st]

who hasn't??

me and my friend both frequently name our characters fagballs and make them look the name as much as possible

I have Pokemon Snap on my Virtual Console (a fact taht I am only somewhat embarrassed to admit to) & I named my character 'Fucker' because I find it sickly amusing to watch Prof. Oak say "Hello there, Fucker!

did the same thing in legend of zelda except i used ****, asshole, douchebag, and ******.
trust me, nothing else is funny until navi in the opening scene in ocarina of time say "hey, ****** wake up."

.....god i miss being a kid XD

I named Cid of FF7 to Captain, just for his speech the moment you've named him.

"Hi, my name's Captain, but some people call me Captain."

I did this except with RED XIII (named him Nanaki) and Garnet/Dagger (FF9, named her Garnet).
Both have the "quote our given names against our real names" moments and I find it mildly amusing.

I never liked screwing with names. I dunno, sometimes I take games too seriously.

But this friend of mine once named Amarant from FF9 "Homo". He then introduced himself to the party: "They call me the Flaming Homo".

My friend and I laughed so hard that day. =D

I was playing Zelda: Phantom Hourglass and I decided to name the guy "blow job", like how Yatzee gave Commander Shepard the first name "Titti". that kinda thing, so lets hear it

I named Cloud "PussyMcFemmey"

Well in Pokemon red i called a metapod penis. Immature i know, but it was funny to read 'Penis used harden'

 

[Et3rnalLegend64]

Never in my life. I'm above that.

 

[Kingsman]

I once named Link Smely in Oracle of Seasons, which provided amusing results for the intro scene.

I was hoping for a time when Onox would walk in and give this menacing leer in his armor, all intimidation and strength, and then make the quip that would forever shake your mind... "Why, hello.... SMELLY." Some sort of Garland "Knock you all down" effect.

Never happened, but I still managed to get a girl trapped in a tornado, screaming out "AAAAAAAAH! SMELLY!"

 

[lacktheknack]

And dont forget "Gareth Gobblecoque". Very Funny.

OT: Nope - Im a good boy!

where the hell is that from?[/quote]

Yahtzee's "Tabula Rasa" review.

OT: I wish, but I haven't.

EDIT: Although my friend called himself "an innocent puppy" in some multiplayer shooter.

"You have been killed by an innocent puppy."

I Change my Steam name to Your Mum sometimes just so i can see the hilarious

"Your mum has been eaten by a skrake"

or TF2 if the freeze screen after you kill someone

"You where killed by Your Mum"

well.......it makes me lol

 

[sethwood]

I went with a classic. "DICK MAN"

 

[leighjet]

edgar balmurrie is the nicest person in the wasteland...
--the name has no meaning whatsoever

 

[feather240]

Here are some more y'all might get a laugh out of. I have to admit that I did do this to my Pokemon.

That third one was... Disturbing...

 

[zahr]

I named a Guild Wars PvP character named Combibo Meus Gallo. (That's Latin.)

No idea if the grammar was actually correct.

 

[Internet Kraken]

I find it amusing to name characters various pronouns. It can really fuck up the dialogue at some parts of the game.

 

[Captain Lag]

In harvest moon, you'd get to name you baby. I always named my baby dogfood and made him spend extra time with the dog

 

[MasterChowmein]

if its a game with god mode i'll name my guy/girl jesus and see how fast i can get through the game
