Screen names and Avatars

[exoneuk]

My username is because I used to run an online band called ex.one and wasn't allowed to register the name ex.one, therefore it had to be exoneuk (for some unknown reason, i wasn't even allowed exone). It has since stuck, for the sheer reason that no forumite has ever been called exoneuk before me. I wasn't allowed to register it on one forum because they thought it was offensive. It only ever occurred to me why until recently...

My avatar is ME as a Micro Machines 2 character. I am currently in the process of doing my very own win and lose animations too. It's a project.

 

[Isaac Dodgson]

I've changed my avatar...Hell one of the forum's user titles is "Going Gonzo" after all...

 

[kinch]

My name is from a book about a serial killer (fiction). He has multiple personalities and the one he named 'Kinch' was the most vicious and insane of the lot. Also I chose it a long time ago back in high school when having a 'cool' sounding name was important -_-

No avatar yet, but I'm looking...

 

[j1-2themax]

I don't know why I used j1-2themax except it sounded cool at the time. I normally use eeaghk2112, but I wanted to do something different this time.

As for the avatar, this is the picture attatched (if that's the right word) to The One Free Bullet achievement on the X-Box 360 version of the Orange Box. Since I just recently developed a love for FPS's, I thought it fit.

 

[Takatchi]

Takatchi was originally created waaaaaay back in the days of AOL, when I needed a screen name. At the time I was young and impressionable, a fan of Dragonball Z and Pokemon. I wanted something Japanese-sounding, but not something so pompously Japanese that my sweat would scream "kawaii" as it leaked from my pores.

Takatchi was further developed in roleplaying chatrooms on AOL. He started off as a Pokemon trainer and later became a "generi-character" that could be translated to other roleplaying games, tabletop or forums or chats. Since a lot of places want you to register as your character so that you're easy to identify, "Takatchi" became my widest-used handle and stuck.

As for the avatar, moogles are sweet, and I loved the Stiltzkin of FF9 "adventure moogle" look.

 

[That_Stevens_Guy]

eh.. for those interested..

That_Stevens_Guy was something a mate used to call me during high school... my last name is Stevens.

And my avatar is just an icon of a software I help create things for behind Mike from Monsters Inc. I figured it was better than having nothing.

EDIT: OH, and this is also my PSN ID and on Live simply remove the underscores.

 

[Soothsayers]

Soothsayers is my gametag. I named it that after the most recent Mars Volta album but later realized it had a better meaning. A soothsayer is a fortune teller that tells thir fortunes through personal experiences or beliefs. My avatar is Dr. Pepper himself!

 

[the monopoly guy]

Dear Dr. Breen:

What up, dawg! I'm a new citizen of City 17, and for the most part I like, I really dig this town! But I have a question I was hoping you could answer. There are some really fine looking ladies in this city, and yet when I see them, I don't feel any...well, for lack of a better term, urges. I got no angle on my dangle. You feel me? I guess my question is this:

Why has the combine seen fit to to supress our reproductive cycle?

Sincerly,
A Concerned Citizen

P.S. Seriously, Frohman gots to get his freak on!

P.P.S. I love your show! TTYL!

...its Frohman from the webcomic Concerned

 

[Lazzi]

Lazzi is latin for "running gag" its a really old theater term

and for my avatar, well I liked it *rawr*

 

[huntedannoyed]

Hunted is just a varriation of Hunter S. Thompson, and annoyed for peosonal reasons.

 

[9574121795741217]

It's my gamertag and all I could come up with in a few minutes without resorting to random words. As for my avatar, I just really like Bill Hicks and I think he's one of the funniest comedians ever.

 

[Unknower]

Once again my great originality is shown: my brother came up with it for me.

The statue in the avatar is the Rodin's Thinker (Captain Obvious to the rescue!), and then I added three dots to show he's thinking nothing, hence fitting my name, isn't that funny, HAHAHA! HAHAHA! HAHAHA!

Though for some reason I don't like it much.

 

[DerGermanGuy]

Guess what my name means...? Well... Yeah I am a german guy. (What ever that means) I don't know english language much. But I think that explains it.

 

[T.H.O.R]

Favorite Super hero. Avatar fits.

I also just happen to be a viking (Norwegian) so it all worked out in the end.

 

[WarriorsDawn]

Warriors Dawn is a song by The Lord Weird Slough Feg, one of my favourites, although Fergus Mac Roich is a better song, I'm just used to using this as my username.

As for my avatar, anyone who's read Watchmen will know it, and anyone who hasn't read Watchmen desperately needs to.

 

[Xhumed]

My user name is the one ive been using on the net since 2002 (i had a brief flirtation with Rossferatu, until the writer for PCGamer UK, Ross Atherton, nicked it.) I just like it really.
My avatar is me, dressed as a cyborg zombie, at a zombie-themed night at a cybergoth club i went to in the UK, called Judder (http://www.judder.org) which was brilliant fun. They always have a different fancy dress theme each month, and people always produce fantastic costumes (my fave so far has to be my friend Marcus, who once went as an Asteroids arcade cabinet.)I miss it very much, have yet to find a decent club in Sydney.

 

[Ultrajoe]

I swear i have 5 posts in this thread.

Username is ultra, im not your average joe.

the avatar i liked

hence why i have it.

 

[N-Sef]

My name stems from the year 2002 when I was looking for a screen name for another forum I used to go to. The name was orignally 'Neo Sephiroth' and yes I was a Final Fantasy fanboy back then, I wish I could forget those days of defending that series. Anyway, I'm also a huge arcade gamer and try to go whenever I have the cash and am free. When I first started playing Initial D: Arcade Stage Version 2 I needed a player name, realizing Neo Sephiroth was too darn long and would not fit the 5 letter cap I opted to downsize it to N-Sep. One of my mates who got me into the game said 'Hey change it to N-Sef, the p sounds crap' and so I did. N-Sef was born on that day.

My avatar is Ciel from the Megaman Zero series, and mentioned in the Megaman ZX series. I really liked her character and eventhough she was a somewhat damsel in distress for most of the series, she seemed like a crutch for Zero to vent and remember who he was. The picture itself is from one of the still image cutscenes, I really liked it so I used it as my avatar.

 

[L4Y Duke]

I just use any old thing as my Avatar. Right now, it's the Steel Talons logo from C&C3: Kane's Wrath.

As for the name, well my first experience of forum activity was the Levels4You.com forums, and I've somewhat adapted the sites acronym (L4Y) into my username. Since then, I've become one of the Admins there, so at least I got that going for me.

'Duke' I got from Duke Nukem. One of the first games I can remember playing was Duke Nukem 3D, back when parents flat-out ignored maturity rating stickers on CDs.

 

[_Serendipity_]

'Serendipity' has been one of my two online names for about a year (the other being HappyMango), and came about because I needed a long word as a username for a particulairly anal site (... that last bit of the sentence could be mis-interprated...). Serendipitously the word serendipity occured to me (it now occurs to me that I may have seen Dogma a few weeks before that... maybe that influenced me?), so I used it and have been since.

My avatar is a random panel from an aborted comic I drew last year, and I just liked it.
