Mine is a compilation of the words net and rex obviously ;) But I changed a lot before I made this one. Won't bother listing them all, but the first one I had was Maverick I think. Used it for when I played Wolfenstein, Doom, Doom 2 and Duke Nukem 3D over LAN or null-modem cables ;) Got it from the movie Top Gun (surprise).

[+] for ur background at fps games

Yeah, I figured it would be interesting ;)

is it me or most norwegian nicknames end with -x?

mine comes from "cygote", a state of development of fetuses and "vot", since i used to make bots/models/skins for Q3 (since i came to know that competitive players degraded all textures/models was kinda of a letdown, looking forward to do some Q4 shit tho :))

sometimes i like to use different nicknames for different games, i.e. valaraK/opt1kom for UT or Silear for not so serious team games like CS.

:>

Nah, it's just you ;) that's how I got mine, primax got his from an old joystick he has/had ;) And we both had our nicks before we met in 2000 :)

rice crispy treats

i'm kinda...

...'magic' ;)

haha :)

hahahahha
it's magic! *smoke*

:X
:D
:/

Disarray -

"General Disarray" from south park, and also

"disarray

n 1: a mental state characterized by a lack of clear and orderly thought and behavior"

Good name? no idea, but you should stick to the name your known by i think, whatever it is:).

my irl name is linus and some guy called me link a long time ago, i picked it up and started fraggin'!

Oh i thought you got it off the african-american guy out of the matrix, whos the pilot on the nebahcanezza(sp?) ;)

hahahhah, i can say that i went >:| when i saw that :]

asraaM -

advanced short ranged air-to-air missile, thought it sounded cooler than alraaM or amraaM (longrange & mid range respectively)..

I sometimes play UT as Panda! - because i'm big, lazy, bear like, half black, half white & I like bamboo..

but people all pronounce my nick differently, even me!

azraaaam, aceraaaam, azramm. aceramm,

dont forget the assram!

=)

i used to b Nixxs coz my real name is Nicky and irl friends call me Nixxs .wen i joined Levi i got my number which i got from certain members saying things about a particular female appliance and plugging it into the mains ...b4 i actually joined Levi they used to call me 240v so it kinda stuck :)

!!

wasn't me!

lies !!!

what's up with all the numbers in levi anyway, are you some kind of anonymous gamers clan? :D

hehe its just different :)

It's not pronounced "bob-ob" or "bobo-b"
but it is pronounced "BO-BOB"! :)

hehe :) Straight from the horse's mouth? ;)

go to school. hehe ;)

do they have schools in australia? ;))

oh you're from nz, even worse.

pffft! How can living in the Land of Rings and King Kong be bad? ;P

<3 Peter Jackson!!

:D!

how about >Boobjob ?

whats your story?.. looks interesting

i didnt choose mine

it chose you?

i guess

My suggestion is when you think you found something cool, look up the word on google (with its original spelling).
You might also want to try to register an email adress with it on hotmail or something very popular and cancel before the end, or check in ICQ users if it's already taken. If the original spelling is already taken, there is a high chance someone will write it in l33t so if you still really want to use it, be *very* creative with the spelling.

But first and foremost, forget anything based on a weapon name (from any game) or that implies how strong/mighty/good/better than everyone you are supposed to be. Or mainstream band names (or any band name), movie titles, star you like. Also ditch "dark" and all classes of people using weapons (ie sniper).

Basically, pretty much everything that first comes into your mind or something your friends call you should be avoided if you're looking for a unique nickname.

Find a deaf person to pronounce your name and you have a unique nickname. :D

i.e.
Chris to be called, "Creez".
Xander to be called, "Zanzer".
Mike to be called, "Meek".
etc.

-J.

Thanks for that hemosaek, i'll do that when i find a nickname/username to look at using :))

my nick is a weapon name you fucker :D
and nobody else uses it!

cause it sucks?

that's not a weapon name :)

Gravgon Missile in the game Forsaken...

okay, i thought you were thinking about the hl2 gravity gun

Nobody uses it because they forgot about the game or most likely never heard of it in the first place =) It's old remember !

I came across several nicknames in my life:

dj = Deaf Jeff. My name's Jeff and I'm actually hearing impaired.
cholie = Cool + Holy - y + ie. A name me and my best friend made for ourselves but that eventually became my nickname.
yiffzer = My name pronounced by my dad. Jeffrey = Yiffzer. It is pronounced the same way you read it.
snow / rain / sky = Girls call me those nicknames mainly because I have a "unique" view of beauty in nature.

And yes, I get peeved when people say "cholie" wrong or assume I'm a girl because it looks like "chloe". It's pronounced as "kho - lee".

-J.

def jef is a rapper B<

btw i think people assume you're a girl because you say things like

"Girls call me those nicknames mainly because I have a "unique" view of beauty in nature."

rather than because it maybe looks a bit like chloe

Yeah, I do talk a little differently from most guys. Well that's what you kinda get for being raised by a female-dominated house along with tons of female friends. :o

-J.

NiKitA - Not from the TV series like most people think, but from the Nikita missile found in Metal Gear Solid :P

C/CPL/Lains/CLains/CPLains

All from my name Christian P. Lains ;)

I would use "C" cuz many of my friends always named me that, but it's too short.. CPLains and CPL conflicts with CPL and Lains would mean others in my family aswell.. So CLains is my most used nickname :)

Hehe got an order for me? To have my initials ;) Ive got a 4 letter intial. Earl YP Hardcastle.

Ive thought of eyph, hpye(reverse), 3yph, hpy3.

Hehe nah they look funny ;/

Eyph is nice ..

I use mine backwards sometimes aswell, "Snial"; but that's mostly half-assed faking going on :p

Haha ;D

:D
My initials are C R J S, and I don't know... Pronouncing it right I think it sounds like "Serious" :)) Dunno if I dare fakenick like that though haha

CiRiJuS rofl :p

I love the epyh name.

-J.

hardcastle for the win

Hehe :P I remember ages ago, i was on mIRC and asked All*NutCase, what did he think of HardCase :P

comprehensive

ah, having a glance at that thread reminds of how nice it is not having kdawg commenting 24/7 anymore \o/

very true :>

So how did you come up with yours mate? :)

Take some techincal term like "iteration", "unit", "alertred" and make it look "leet": 173ra-shun, youn1d, al3rtr4d...

Last night I played a guy named "a Q3 player".

Hehe nice alternatives ;P Here in NZ we had a quake player that was quite good, at q2 and q3... think he started off with OrChiD first and then moved to something really original: DAB^18 everyone just calls him dab tho :P

Still very catchy :)

my parents gave me one

:D

Great film btw, maybe you have to be British to get a kick out of Michael Crawford playing an American.

Wanted a set of wings like that throughout my childhood!

Yeah nah it was awesome, to this day i havent seen it since i was a kid. Was gonna order it into NZ on dvd, but forgot about it and kept putting it off etc.

But now i think i'll get on the phone and get it ordered :)

Never forget the bad guy with the diamond in his eye and him and his hooligans had those black porsche's with the mirror windows. And the speed boat battle scene, with the laser gun's on the back of the boats. Just a classic! movie :)

i have socialfobia T_T

:D

? =) Really sucks tbh. It's not the coolest thing in the world to get an anxity attack in the bus/at the hairdresser or at the football stadium. Dont have any problems when in drunk though, which is great so i still have a social life. But really feel like an alcoholic cause i have to take a few drams of vodka or something before i go out for shopping or such ;o. It's fun how long you can hide this sort of thing really. None of my girlfriends or friends know of it, or any family, expect for my best mate, and have had it for the last 6 years :x.

i kinda have it too ;)

sort of.. Is there a definition? :p

seems i have specific social phobia .. fighting it tho :)

sure is
http://www.emedicine.com/med/topic3121.htm

agoraphobia

i had to quit school because of it :<

Sorry to hear that =/. At least i made it through senior high school, but since then it has escalated a lot. I have been doing some major progress in the last few month though, by exersizing intensively and i also started taking some pills called Velzina http://www.sundhedsguiden.dk/medicine.aspx?ca...amp;id=180
Some naturepill so there are not bad side effects, and i know they work because they have been tested scientifically, but they are great in keeping my mood up. Im also going to see a hypnotherapist in a few weeks, because apparently they have very good results in treating things like anxiety. If you havent heard of it before, then try and do a quick search, because it really sounds promising, the stories people tell and such.

I've gone through many nicknames:
Dan_The_Hitman(classic first one for qwtf :D)
PzyKo(oh yeah so cool, for hldm, q2 and cs)
Krupp(more cs)
|2obot(DoD, tribes 2)
There's a number more which I used for a few months at a time but these are the big ones. The reason I changed nickname to this was when I was nicknamed |2obot and wanted to join a cool tribes 2 clan, the clan leader said my name was a bit generic and he wanted me to change it to something more original. I came up with voodoochopsticks after some time fiddling with ideas, but tribes 2 and quakenet only allow 15 character nicknames so I had to get rid of the second c. The story of my nickname.

http://www.bitoman.net/french/bitoweb/boss.htm -> poubellator

Many years ago I bought a french magazing which was about all kinds of pc/console games and some random other stuff barely related to that. Anyway in there was a review of one of the early videos that the guys from the website above produce, super trashy but still around after all those years. When I got my own Internet connection exactly on 01.01.2003 I had to choose a nickname for my new adventures, and that's when this came out, it's unique, it's weird, it's funny and I like it :D lately on IRC I'm better known as spongepoub which is equally telling.

btw many people pronounce my nick differently, even me!

pube, poop, boob... *sigh*

_not_ food as one might guess :\
but i think i switch sooner or later, have already one in mind

1?

what?

have already one in mind

one or 1 as nick :)

lol, not literally one... but ...you know.... !!

<3

My nickname is Spooge (this is an older account), wich is slang for sperm :-)

playing as 'chacha' now, as that's what most of my friends call me (its my surname!).

I'm too lazy to create a new account with ESR can I change my username? blah

Hehe your prolly the most famous player to come out of australasia ;P

Did you ever play Mirage or MultiKiller(mk)? If you did, you prolly wiped the floor with em eh? ;)

Yeah I've played Mirage before and MK, Mirage was more of a challenge then MK but I've beaten them both

mk's all rail to be honest :P

Do you know many ppl from the aussie q2 scene, like a few years ago? the clan kj - jubblies/killshot/badkarma(bk) etc.

I use to know a few years back when I played, use to play with FxR (note fxr wasn't around in the early days of q2) and we pretty much slapped everyone around in q2 in Au, never played clan kj...we've played against bk when he was in some team rds or something, i've got a demo fo me playing against them on q2dm1

ye just edit ur user profile :)

http://www.esreality.com/?a=changeusername

I love that surname, used to be my favorite ride too. ;)

What will it be next week? ;)

when i first got on IRC seven or eight years ago, i needed a nickname, so i just looked around in the room and the first thing i saw was my joystick with the letters "PriMaX". so i used that nick for a while until i changed the capital letters to non-caps.

niiice <3

neo or killer

I used to have a name called, "Neocast".

-J.

=]

its pronounced bo-bob :)

Hehe was he any good? I heard he used to play in the early days of the vikings, but then when they got that guy "zyc" all the demos i sa of them he was coaching :/

he was their coach in their prime.. but he was a pretty good player..

once, I used the nick 'dreamYu' for an ordinary pub game, but I really started to like it. Now, this is my one and only nick to play with :)

I got the inspiration from a korean starcraft gamer, as they have the most creative nicks imho.

some examples:

LinYu)Pj
love(._.h.j
z.q)_slayer
oG)jindOrAi
sG[jOypOp]
sonjjang
SaSin)yeOn
YellOw
JiHyuN[jOypOp]
ye(aQua

always used empedocles (now shortend to Emp^y)
empedocles for the greek philosopher who concieved the concept of earth wind fire and water being the constiuent parts of what made up the universe.

also based on the books by christopher hienz (the paratwa series) read em you will get the reference

used the name in q1 qw q3 cs etc i never change nicks :)

Niether do i, i just alias and had one nick. But i want a different one now :D

no' - is that q3 cpma clan? I think ive seen someone called no'drex on ESR??

no' is indeed a cpma clan (nobles) :) no'drex is the stately old man of the team :P

back in 99 i was living in california for a year and so i started off with cal .. just for the love of california. ;)

then i somehow got the idea to change it to calomatic .. like cal-o-matic .. comic-maschine like. ^^

well thats the short story of the evolution of my nick. :D

mine is as obvious as it gets:\

i was going through a stupid rap phase in 7th grade and saw a guy from the No Limit soldiers and put the 2 words together. i've tried switching away from embarassment of the name's origin but nothing else has stuck =P

edit: i use the "x" because too many "nolimit"s started popping up

Made a txt based rpg years ago, one special feature the game had was a name generator for your character.

The first time I tried it out I selected an evil wizard and it gave me the words grim and star. Thought it sounded awesome as one word, so I kept it, been using it ever since.
