Warhammer 40000 Leader of a Chaos Khorne army - called Kharn the Betrayer cause he killed all his mates and I chose it cause I used to be far too trigger happy when playing Quake on the LAN in college (killing my team mates).

All the best,

neuro-praxis · 05-04-2001 07:02PM

Most mornings I wake up with pins and needles or numbness in my hands (I sleep on them without noticing, *unconsciously* if you will

) and, the rest of the time too, I constantly suffer from this affliction of limbs falling asleep.

So when I was watching some movie where some guys were on a university challenge type - show, and the question was asked about what neuro-praxis was, and its meaning unfolded...well, i just adopted it then and there. WHOO-HA!

Give me back my towel. I'll sue.

D-Generate · 05-04-2001 07:05PM

I got mine from the WWF.
I am so ashamed

amp · 05-04-2001 08:23PM

And the award for most interesting nick goes to ..... neuro-praxis

My old web page has all the details of my ancient nick....

amp: who will never quite think of pins and needles in the same way again.

Well, mine is obvious, isn't it?

Vertakill · 05-04-2001 11:30PM

Hmm, well....This is a stupid story, but wot the hell..

I was playing Total Annhilation against my bro.........and I didnt really have a decent name.....so i was always thinking of shít.

Then after a while....(On the toilet in fact) Verta popped into my head....then i decided , its a bit short.....so i added kill, since i'd try kill some ppl now and then.

A couple weeks came and went....when i slagged my bros name 'KodaChrome' (Paul Simon Song of Kodaks Film) and he slagged me back by saying 'Ooh its Vertical, Such a stupid boring name' bla bla bla....then i sed wtf...he explained wot my own name meant to me

.....And from then on ive been telling ppl i knew wot my name meant all along

(Somewhat long winded story.....but fúckit, i enjoyed it :P)

Mills · 05-04-2001 11:40PM

Used "Millenator" originally back when I started playing TFC (Don't ask)........everyone called me Mill or Mills anyway, and seeing as my 2nd name is Mills, I changed it, not very original

Paladin · 06-04-2001 12:18AM

Xithus · 06-04-2001 06:00AM

Mine came from Armada (surprise surprise

)
I picked it cause I ran it through a search engine and no results came out sweet

Wyverne · 06-04-2001 09:04AM

a fourth century (or thereabouts) mythological creature/beast that devoured its victims with pincer like jaws

it walked upright as man does, and had incredibly powerful limbs....

it is aslo spelt Wyvern / Wyvryn

but Wyverne is the least used and looks that much better,

i started to use it because i have always been interested in mythology, and this creature stood out as being one not to f*ck with and one that had a kewl name

also used (as a kid)

Super
(then) SuperMario
(then) Supermario2
(then) SuperMarioMarvel

but i only ever used those nicks for PC games, my entire online life i have been know as Wyverne (unless you count - muppet/spamwhore/fagg0t/gheyness ...................................

gandalf · 06-04-2001 10:22AM

Stupid Yanks !

)
and i was in a clan called [DOGS] as in Reservoir Dogs. Well i was put in charge of the tactics, strategies and such and i was told i was quite good at it

so the lads called me the strategist so i changed the e for an a and it stuck

bl33tingDonkey (my current cs nick) well im always ranting about summit and someone called me a bleeting donkey one night so i changed and its still there in my conifg

ShottyMcHeadshot - teehee i like to run around in CS on UK servers like a mad whore with meh m3

Monty - the one and only · 06-04-2001 09:19PM

Monty was a nickname I had in school....

"- the one and only" came from a time where some gimp stole the password off my nick and changed it(before I became a moderator).

Ry · 06-04-2001 09:44PM

TinCool · 08-04-2001 01:43PM

Back in the days of Commodore64's, Bubble Bobble, Gauntlet II and Super Sprint in the arcades, there was only space for 3 characters in the high scores table, so drinking a can of Coke, I thought hmm, Tin.

Thought it was too short when I started playing Q2 so I lashed on Cool at the end. Totally daft, but original.

Clintons Cat · 09-04-2001 12:38AM

ObeyGiant

[SN]JAG · 10-04-2001 01:52AM

funnily enough even when me and hobbes(raven)were playing Doom2 on a serial i used JAG, then in quake i still used it, quake 2/heretic2 it was JAG/jaguar, Tribes it was JAG/Kodiak/Qui and then back to JAG.

i think i will always use this nick

(ive got so many jag email address's that is becoming obsessive)

cueball · 10-04-2001 02:16AM

Right, Cueball, guess

seriously when i was around 14 - 17 i was really into pool, snooker etc and was actually good! I played for my county and local pub (at 16 - 17) Used to go snooker hall everyother day, owned everyone. But alas prices rised and being the poor unemloyed person i was ..... couldnt go anymore.

Anyway i was called Cue from a few youths as i could swerve the cueball round the table like magic, and as my old CS nick (Mad Mungo \ Blacknight) sucked Cueball i became, even though im guessing im crap at the game now

(one day, one day)

*=CueBall=*

Ry · 10-04-2001 09:22AM

Yes Cueball you indeed ARE crap at CS now

Quothe the Raven, "JennyRooba!"

Blitzkrieger · 10-04-2001 10:36AM

The meaning of the name is two-fold

Meaning the first : I play a lot of stradedgy games and always use blitzkrieg tactics. Entire races vanish from the galaxy in the blink of an eye, leaving people wondering : "Wasn't there a planet there a while ago?"

Meaning the second : The Blitzkrieger were elite SS stormtroopers. Their mission was to go behind enemy lines and wreak havoc, which is usually what I try to do in tfc.

SheroN · 10-04-2001 03:23PM

I remember the first time i saw young tincool on a quake2 server......trialing for scream he was...them were the days.......
