...yet.

Biggy Bro Slig 08-02-2008 09:02 AM

Well, should the arrival of a zombie apocalypse or a gang of hoodies and chavs come destroying my garden, then I'd resort to that. Otherwise, your comment has no use :D

- Back to topic.

Mine was just a play on the phrase "New N' Tasty" from the posters in AO. I actually had to think about it for a minute. I've been oanst for so long that I forgot why.

I always assumed you were just describing yourself.
Sort of like Hobo... :p

AlienMagi 08-07-2008 07:52 AM

My nickname was usually AlieN but once I wanted to create an account on GameSpy and someone allready had that name. GameSpy always suggests other names to use. It suggested AlienMagi. Now I use this nickname for years. I will never change it.

See thats what I thought with Azrael_the_Avenger, maturity has a way of catching up with you sometimes.

It was the same with me. When I made a DeviantArt account and I couldn't use used:), I decided to go with Used-the-Muse, as in Used was a muse, not "I used a muse." That continued for a little while, then came lone rider. Now I just use either gbmz or gb-mz, except on YouTube since gbmz was taken. Boring, I know, but I like it because I think it does a really stylish play on the initials in my name.

And I allready thought you were used.

Holy fucking bandwagon.

Anonyman! 08-12-2008 11:37 AM

Believe it or not, my name is not in any way related to "anonymous" or any of the chans. It's actually something me and my friends (A.K.A. pet idiots) thought up back in Junior High. We were trying to come up with stupid superheroes and Anonyman, while not the most idiotic one, stuck with me.

Huh. Makes sense, at first I thought it was a coincidence-the similarity to Anoymous I mean.

paramiteabe 09-01-2008 08:22 PM

Mine was sort of spontanius. At the time I joined I was thinking of Abe running awey from a pack of Paramites. I put 2 and 2 together and came up with Paramiteabe hense my banner represents my name or my thoughts at the time I came up with Paramiteabe. Oh well I can never forget to this day about my banner. I am still thankfull for Abe-Babe doing my banner. If it is anything Abe-Babe I still appreciate you doing that for me even though it was so long ago. Mann I truely miss the old days on here. People since call me PA for short.

Paramiteabe...:fuzblink:

abe619 09-08-2008 07:22 AM

Cause i love abe as a hero and i love Rey Mysterio that just makes abe619.
note about me:- 619 marks the spot.

Abeguy 09-10-2008 08:51 PM

Abeguy...cuz it wasn't taken.
Actually wondering if someone could change it to Theditor. it's pretty much my name everywhere now, and It's gonna be what I go by when I start directing

Mutual Friend 09-11-2008 02:42 PM

Cuz it's my name.

ssilbyma 09-11-2008 08:13 PM

mine is my name backwards ssilbyma

Earthnuker 09-17-2008 11:54 AM

I chose my username because once i played "Earth2150-lost souls" with a mod called "super storm" and one enemy was name Earthnuker and i liked it so i used it as username

skillyaslig 09-19-2008 12:24 AM

Haha, I guess my username is pretty obvious, huh? Well, I like sligs the most outta all the Oddworldian creatures, and since Skillya is their mega-mummy...*shrugs* Darn, why didn't I have a name with more depth, I wonder...

Clakker Shooter 09-20-2008 07:13 PM

I always thought shooting clakkers is fun 'cause they're re:tard:ed chickens.

arkaznor 09-21-2008 05:14 AM

Right, my brother (since he's the original owner of this account), choose the name arkaznor as a combination of Kaznor, and Ark.

Kaznor originates from our maiden name, both of us have started using it for nearly everything (his e-mail, my deviantart) both of our friends have even called us Kaz as nicknames.

The Ark comes from the character that I made (that my brother stole for W@RF), in which I thought up the name Ark back when I thought that every mudokons name was three letters long and began with an "A" (Abe, Alf).

Both of them? My god. So many.

that is all

Splat 09-22-2008 12:31 AM

Man, I thought Nemo had just read '2000 Leagues Under the Sea'. Cap'n Nemo FTW!
(And am I the only one who worked out the OANST/N&T thing without being told?)

Shortly after finishing AE and before I'd really started using the internet I decided to write Oddworld fanfiction. At the end of AE I'd seen the advert for Munch, and took that as evidence that mudokons could have improper nouns as names (I didn't realise Munch wasn't a mudokon).
So I named my main mudokon character 'Splat'. Eventually I typed 'Oddworld' into google and spent ages on Oddworld.au.com before finding OWF. When I joined the forums I used the name of my character as my username.

Anyway I chose it out of anger that all abe-related names were taken... Now i hate it.. It sounds like a cleaning solution. But yet again... I just can't let go.

skillyaslig 09-23-2008 02:40 AM

Whenever I see your user name, T-nex, I think of shirts for some reason, a yellow one with Hello Kitty on it....*ponders*

Because T-nex's custom user title says Kittycat=^_^=? I'm also trying to get a custom user title, but I can't find where to do that in the User CP.

It's because only special members get them and you have to ask a mod/admin ^^

And she is extra special. Extra, extra special. Just ask Stephen, the invisible giant mongoloid who follows her around, protecting her from the forces of evil who would otherwise steal her plastic scissors of power and destroy the earth.

Chubfish 09-29-2008 03:03 PM

My username is Chubfish because a chub is a type of fish and then Chubfish just happened to be made. Huzzah for chubfish-ness!

Leto 09-29-2008 03:15 PM

Or you just get chubbies for fish.

Pilot 09-29-2008 08:50 PM

My name? Google "Farscape". Pilot is an underappreciated character from Farscape which was a Sci-Fi TV series. He's just cool looking and has a great personality.

I don't know... For some stupid reason, I've always thought of you as a real pilot ever since the day I saw your name <.<....

I chose my name because the last thing I did before joining OWF was step on a slug and it went...
