The Fallen Lords :: Gamer Names and Origins

Mad Bomber|TFL · Posted: Sat May 12, 2007 11:30 am Post subject: Gamer Names and Origins

Ok, I was just thinking...I dont have a clue what Cernunnos, Hideki, Raemon, Logan, Sandino, Blacksand, or a few other names mean from our clan and outside.

I thought why not ask. So I will start it off.

Mad Bomber. I started out as MidnightBomber since I couldn't fill in "Evil Midnight Bomber What Bombs at Midnight," a character from the cartoon The Tick, which I found outrageously hillarious. That is the origin of my gamer name.

Hideki = Hideki Tojo? :p

My name was actually Inertialess before I shortened it (and then me and inR got confused a lot), and I got it off the "Inertialess drive" research option in Cataclysm. I though it sounded nifty.

i needed an nickname for Total Annihilation
scimitar was taken
so i thought up something in the line like prince did , the artist formerly known as prince , tafkap

so i thought The Artist Not Known as 0 ( zero being symbol for bolleke my rl nickname with the friends - it means a little ball and is used as a cute word lovers say to eachother - yup they used it to piss me off - it grew on me )
but bolleke sounds like bollock ( like loc recently discovered ) and i dont wanted to get known as bollock

so TANKA0 was born later on cut down to TANK0 because TA people thought i was a flashtank rusher

P5y is my name.

comes from psynergy in Golden Sun.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Golden_Sun

It first made its debut on Phoenixworx where I played TA , I was called TEA_Psynergy. Many people thought it was a cool name.

Im back to being called p5y because many people didnt like the name wikid because it was a name of a rival clan. I agreed.

The Tick was just so awesome..

My 1st name online was Bricard.... Brick Hard as in hard as F**k, most people didn't get it but w/e it was just a name.

I changed it to Apocalypse in HW2 because I fell in love with the idea of the HMS-Apocalypse Battlecruiser (which HW2 players from my Era would remember it's precise usage) I've had the name ever since and see no reason to change it.

ah, lol, shows history that someone comes up with 'Tojo'.

Anyway, generally 'Hideki' is a typical first name for a Japanese, and yes it's my real name, so there's no trick hidden in here... I just find it, to get online nicks, a Japanese name was unique enough I could stay unique with this name, so I never bothered to find any alternative.

People start asking me if my name has anything to do with 'chobit', whatever it is, but I heard it's some sort of comic, but, no.

There's 'Hideki Matsui' in the american major baseball league, as an example.

Nice threat u opened here Maddi :-D

HW2 was my first online Game, ok I played a bit Battlefront and VGA Planets,
And I didnt thought that will go that far, I just wanted to do a few, online HW matches ......

So I needed a new name, I was young

and wanted to have a name that sounds "cool", but Im not creative in such things

So I ended in "Stardust" !!

In Homeworld lobby everybody was calling me Star and I liked it, so as I became a duck I ended in Star_duck.

But the REAL reason I like this name is because my very first word that I have spoken was "STAR"

Not mum or dad....

I have always used Bigbangtheory since my first online game Team Fortress Classic.

It ties in nicely with most games involving any type of explosion or gun fire and on a personal lvl I have a degree in Applied Physics.

Xerxes|TFL · Posted: Mon May 14, 2007 8:16 am Post subject:

For Quake 3 Arena I needed my first nickname, and I thought it had to sound very mighty and evil. From history lesson I knew the name 'Xerxes' and I liked it (at this time, I already had forgotten that Xerxes was an old persian king, that can be seen in the recent movie '300' *g*)

My other nickname - DarkHappyAffe - came from the Bundeswehr (my time in the army). A friend and I were in an inet-cafe and wanted to chat - we chose "Affe" (german for monkey), but this name already was assigned ot another one, instead they showed us a list with alternatives - DarkHappyAffe was in it ....

I think I started hw2 with DarkHappyAffe and baby-blue/pink colors. I liked the idea, that all the good players, i wanted to beat, were beaten by someone with baby-blue/pink colors!!! :-D

But for duCk-Clan, DarkHappyAffe was to long, so I switched back to Xerxes again.

As Tanko already said/posted, Cernunnos is a celtic god, god of nature.

I always had a slight tendency to like anything that has a mystical feeling all around it and a fable for the celtic culture.

Cernunnos means ''the horned one'' or also, ''the one with edges'' (hope I translated that correctly), and I somehow thought this suits me a little since I have (rough?) edges as well, many of them actually, which I even like to nurse and cultivate... -_-

ofcourse i don t know what he meant without checking the swiss/german he was trying to use but i think he meant "sides" not "corners"

although cern was based on the horned god Pan from ancient times who was the god of fertility so Hid could be correct too .

anyway cern's day to party is Samhain , nowadays known as Halloween or Dio des Los Muertos . wiccan new year

/end lesson

Cernunnos · Posted: Tue May 15, 2007 8:13 am Post subject:

Rolf, yea I guess I do like nurses with soft rounds -_-

What I originally meant though is something different, I think the right word must be ''edges'' instead of corners, in the sense of having some ''rough edges''.

Does this make sense now? -_-

Mad Bomber|TFL · Posted: Tue May 15, 2007 10:14 am Post subject:

cern, i understood you the 1st time. learning a bit of dutch ive learned to take non-native english speakers and interpret a bit.

fatal ask some of these guys to suggest something since you cant come up with something original on your own. LOL! pokes fetal!

It looks good, sounds good, and I wanted a break from the name I was known under in PSA .. Solution7.

Actually, both have a nice ring to them.

Lately I've been gaming under the name Pseudophile, though. I like the way it sounds.
