I try using the same username everywhere. I am also chunkyman on the Bioware Social Network and the Obsidian forums. I was also chunkyman on the Bethesda forums before they permabanned me for... stuff. sneaky2.gif

 

As to where "chunkyman" comes from, I made it up after a grand total of 5 seconds of thinking. I refuse to put numbers in my name, and this seems to be available on most forums.

I just sent a PM to Adriaan about my name. I want to change it to the nick I use everywhere else: Morbus616.

 

Colonel Buttf*ck is a nothing but a weird joke!

Sgt. Foley came from Modern Warfare 2. I was a big fan. blush.gif

Goddamn. I always thought it was from Conflict: Desert Storm II. sad.gif

 

As for mine. It is simple. My initials. Then the number three.

 

 

 

If I could change it I would change it to either 'Linx.' Or 'LZW3' due to the massive amount of people thinking it is a capital i.

When I was eight and got my second PS3 (our first was robbed, I got my first at the age of seven) my ID was the most creative and complex ID ever known to man.

 

lazyboy8

 

The lazy, of course, could only stem from eight years of my laziness, Likewise, the "boy" is because my gender is male. The eight came from how old I was at the time. Then in 2012 I decided to continue the name, by using LazyboyEight because it has capital letters and things with capital letters look nice.

 

 

Of course, I'm glad I didn't use the user ID I used on something else, it was "Yodude199" and everyone said to their friends "yo dude" whilst I nonchalantly stroll in and say "how are my services of use to you?" and because the internet is such a lovely place I get the enlightening response of "f*ck off n00b".

Nate - short for Nathan a typically western forename. not very common but not very uncommon

Shaw - a surname used quite commonly in the west, typically of irish or scotttish descent but not always. (much like my real surname actually)

 

92 - I was born in 1992, the on part of my username that is not entirely random and actually relates to me as my name is not nathan shaw (or is it)

 

the reason I use Nate Shaw is 2 parts random 1 part it is the name of a character in a thing I am writing.

RAMIREZ, DO EVERYTHING! biggrin.gif

 

Mine was a SAMP Server password of my friend.

He lol'd when I put it as my username.

Now I agree it sucks but oh well, it isn't so bad after all.

 

Would be cool if I won the GTAF worst username award 2010! tounge.gif

It was a time of political unrest, the ruling families of the upper houses of Garfel'phlegm and Narwhinger'papen'flugenShaft were at war trying to resolve a long standing claim over the lands of Vartenharden'ni'pibhum, each laying claim as their ancestors The Bueftips were common to both houses.

 

In a bid to resolve their differences both leaders met up surreptitiously with a plan to unite both houses each knowing the their respective Law Lords would not approve of such a meet and subsequent plans. The leader of Garfel'phlegm, King Quim'zon and the leader of the Narwhinger'papen'flugenShaft, Queen Fa'Liq laid plans to put forth a subject of their realm in order for them to put forth a child that would once again reunite both families and put to an end their bitter war that had ravaged their lands and kingdoms for over 500 parsecs.

 

After several months of searching the two put forth their respective elders to produce the child that would unite the families, despite the unsettling tones from their respective Law Lords who were beginning to suspect such a plan was afoot the plan still proceeded. Suddenly there was a war between the families when the plans laid forth by King Quim'Zon and Queen Fa'Liq were discovered by their suspecting Law Lords, by the time the war could be stopped by both the King and Queen there had already been many casualties.

 

The war however was not stopped by their announcement of their plan to put forth two elders to reunite the families, their announcement was even more surprising when it was announced that the King and Queen had themselves put forth their own unity and they presented to the Law Lords of both houses in a parlé on neutral territory, that they had born a child themselves, this child was called Gareth Croke.

 

The End...?

 

(tl:dr, it's my actual name, I needed a little more than that or else this post would have been very short.)

I can't remember how exactly I found this, but this is one of the things that gave me the idea.

I used to post so many clips from The Omen on YouTube that I called myself "theomenofficial"

I considered myself as the official Omen source.

 

As for my PS3 name "epicshadowring"

It was a mix between me and my friends name on Roblox back in 2011.

My name was "Thering193" and his name was "shadowssecret"

I combined them and added the "epic" to the front and that's how I got my PS3 name!

Mine's pretty obvious, if you're a basic GTA fan. tommyv= Tommy Vercetti. Then 2468 like even numbers. It was easy to remember so I'v used it everywhere. I think I first used it on YouTube in 2008.

My initials followed by my first name. Sometimes I'll use EnZeeO which is the phonetic version of my initials, NCO. I don't really use it anymore since a lot of people mistake it for Ezio and thinking I'm this big AC fan.

My favorite band for the longest time was Deftones. Their best album is White Pony.

 

Combine the two and add an "f" for phonetic purposes and you get deffpony.

 

I think it's original even if some people give it a kind of gay association. I used to play counter strike pretty hard, and when I dominated people it was funny hearing them bitch, " who is this pony guy"

 

I also felt like it was an underlying homage to my live for music and the film the outsiders. Stay golden pony boy Curtis.

old

 

I wanted Sonic (no relation to the video game franchise), because it was a cool name. In my 10-year-old head. I don't remember why I chose Edmachine. Ed is short for Edgar, which is my name. And machine because computers.

Doesn't mean a dang thing. My old account was DaSanAnThug. Got tired of that pretty quick. I actually PM'd Suction Testicle Man if it was okay that I registered this account a couple of months before I planned on starting using it (after my 1K "milestone" on the old account) simply because I didn't want to be a filthy oh-niner.

 

I go by the same name everywhere I go and I never have to worry about 860 being availeable. There are some places where I have to go by Eight60 or EightSixty, such as PSN and GTANet IRC, because their usernames cannot begin with a number.
