I still really like my user name.

abe is now! 01-10-2010 08:58 AM

I guess you still liked Oddworld when you were creating your account!

It's a long and kind of embarassing story, but basically: We had to go to a different class room one day and there were these score-boards/posters on the walls made by the regular students for some kind of in-class game. One of them was for a team called "The Used." At the time, I didn't know of the band of the same name, of whom the poster was named after. I thought it sounded cool, so I used it (har har) for my own username when I joined a few months later. I added the smiley for extra irony.

Disgruntled Intern 01-10-2010 09:25 AM

Well that was back in 2001, so yeah. I mean, I still like oddworld okay I guess. Haven't touched the series in years though. That's not to say I'll turn my nose up at CS should it release in my lifetime.

The Shaman from Munch's Oddysee. Whatever you've been told, is the origin of my user.

OddjobAbe 01-10-2010 10:12 AM

Are you sure it's not because you're Wiccan?

Watch out he might cast a spell on you

MA 01-10-2010 10:53 AM

well he'll have to prepare it all first, then wait 'till a full moon, then draw up a circle, then dance around in sheep skin with a goats head drinking virgin blood whilst trying to stop the wind blowing out the candles, then burn incense constantly for around a week.

so expect something mildly annoying in the next month or so, Oddjob.

Josh 01-10-2010 10:55 AM

You forgot burning policemen in giant figures made of wood.

(Watch 'The Wicca Man')

It is best known, however, for its unflinching portrayal of necrophilia in perhaps the film's most infamous scene, where escaped serial killer John Lucker (played by Nick Van Suyt) waits four weeks after slaying a prostitute to have sex with her badly decomposing corpse.
With my sisters sitting there. Lucker is fucking abominable.

Once, my brother was watching a Johm Holmes film and me and my Mam walked in on it. Luckily, he didn't have it out. I believe he wins at the awkward competition (or loses - whatever way you look at it).

Hazel-Rah 01-10-2010 11:44 AM

Hazel is a character from the book Watership Down and -Rah means chief rabbit. Hazel-Rah is a great leader and I admire him.

Jordan 01-10-2010 11:55 AM

Pretty sure I've already said this lately... My username used to be Jordan_Boi, back when I thought that was cool. I decided to change it to Jordan to be simple and not to confuse people. Jordan is my name. It's that simple.

I'd like a nice, interesting username but I fail in that category so yeah.

Crashpunk 01-10-2010 12:02 PM

Nice thread!

I thought of 'Crashpunk' waaay back when i was on Habbo and Runescape. i was addited to Crash Bandicoot so 'Crash' seem to be a good idea and i listen and dress like a Punk. Boom Crashpunk!
Wariopunk and Wariopunk25 i use now on Youtube and other stuff is from my favorite Nintendo Character Wario, i've already told you about the Punk bit and 25 is my favorite number and seem to have a ring to "Wariopunk"

Wil 01-10-2010 12:05 PM

In a way I admire people who have used their own name. I still haven't found the perfect comedy comeback to "Your name isn't Max?!?!"

Hobo 01-10-2010 12:12 PM

I love Abe, and...well I'm a bit of a babe.

Where's Sekto when you need a good Abe Babe Rant?

Disgruntled Intern 01-10-2010 12:45 PM

Wait, isn't sekto fat?

Pilot 01-10-2010 12:48 PM

I'm fat.

Disgruntled Intern 01-10-2010 01:06 PM

Fuck your edit. If Sekto of all people has anything to say about Abe Babe's weight, I'd love to read it.

mr.odd 01-10-2010 01:49 PM

My user name was the only thing i could come up with at the time. If i could change it, all i would do is capitalize the M and O.

You know, I tried to find a clip from the 1990's Family Feud game show with Louie Anderson where he says, "GETTIN ALL RILED UP!" but it doesn't seem to exist.

Instead, enjoy these messages, and we'll be right back!


Disgruntled Intern 01-10-2010 02:22 PM

Fucking louie anderson. God damn.

Splat 01-10-2010 02:39 PM

There's so many posts on these last two pages that I would like to quote that I won't quote any of them.

About the same time I was getting the internet I was also playing through AE (my first OW game) and liked it so much that I started writing an awful fanfic called 'Splat' (we all have to start somewhere) after its main character. Then I joined my first website (here) and since Splat was my first original character, I used his name as my username.

Since then I've discovered that every website in the universe has someone called 'Splat' and now more commonly use 'Talps'. However, I wouldn't consider changing it here because it is who I am here.

Capitalisations don't really count as name changes. Send me a PM if you really want that fixed. Also if you want the space added between the '.' and the 'o'. Mein gott, that's been shitting me up the wall.

Hey that's right.... I still remember the origin of your name from the LAST thread in which we discussed this recently.

Everybody in your group of friends had a superlame superpower and so you because Anonyman! in light of your puzzling powers of anonymity. Right?

awww u remembered

lbyrd2 01-10-2010 07:26 PM

It's my gmail (google Email) address which is the frist letter from my first name and my full last name, I added the 2 for fun.

came from a bad joke amongst my circle of friends at the time that led to me being called "Nate Dog" for all of two weeks.

my friend got the exact same name when we were in Japan a few months ago. (still, its better than lulu)

Gundam Wing is just what I call Gundam as a whole. It was the one that played when I was a kid. I thought that it was really boring, someone said the other Gundams are less boring.
They are not.

I'm kinda curious (no, not bicurious) about OANST, is that an acronym for something?

It's stands for Old And Not So Tasty, which was my original name before I rubbed the admins in the right way and they gave me a few wishes.

Wings of Fire 01-11-2010 06:12 AM

Only through thinking about the penii for so long.

They were just...so big.

Bullet Magnet 01-11-2010 06:21 AM

When I was in the sixth form at school, someone managed to put Unreal Tournament onto the school computers. You had to be given a special shortcut to access it. The Head of IT let us keep it because he had bet us that if we managed to get a game onto the new network we could keep it, so long as we only played for half and hour at lunchtime before the room opened up for study.

I cycled through a number of self-depreciating nicknames before settling on Bullet Magnet. It stuck ever since.

I am considering getting a new handle for any potentially professional endeavours, but I don't think I would change it here. The initials are too familiar now.
