What's new

What made you choose your Tag/ Handle?

VGMtheVagabond

Salt Mine CEO
I actually had a lot of gamer tags. Started out with MischiefMakers1, because that was and still is one of my favorite games of all time. Then I moved on to SykoTehSykotik, as my early DDR tag. Then shortened it to just Syko. Then I moved to Enstrumental, because that was a point in life that every bit of music I listened to had no vocals. When I first got on the competitive scene, I played SSBB and used the tag Banhammer, because I played Mr. Game & Watch. Then I moved to FPS, and since Banhammer was taken (surprise surprise), I used TokyOkeyDoke. I remember the reason for picking that one was really stupid. Finally, I ended up as VGMtheVagabond. The Vagabond part is easy, since I always travelled and never really had a place I grew up in, since I moved every year as a child, so moving around was not new to me. The VGM part is always debatable, since I don't really have a definable phrase for the initials. It started as vicious grotesque malicious for my FPS style, then I used it as valiant generous magnificent, but now VGM just stands for VGM until I can define it later.
 

VenomX-90

"On your Knees!"
The one I chose for TYM is b/c my favorite villain from Marvel is Venom, the "X" because I like X-Men and 90 is the yr I was born. "ShadowNinja90" is b/c thats the name that popped in my head when I created it. Well mostly b/c its an enemy class you fight in the Arc The Lad series and Ironically Its not from the Brotherhood of Shadow from MK.
 

Groove Heaven

Jobber-baron
I was walking and listening to music one day. At the time I had aspirations to be a competitive Smash Bros. Brawl player and I wanted a goofy name more than one trying to sound cool. I put my ipod on shuffle and this song came up.


Brave Fencer Musashi was an awesome PS1 game made by Squaresoft between Final Fantasy 7 and 8. The OST was insanely good too.
 

Akromaniac27

Ready to lose your head?
Akroma was one of the first angels I saw in MTG and loved her since. MANIACAL was the very first clan I was a part of so it was just a play-on words, and 27 is my favorite number
 

Name v.5.0

Iowa's Finest.
Back in 2003 I went by Jesus v.5.0. I played CS 1.6 in CAL and their rules said you couldn't have an offensive name. Thinking mine was offensive I asked my clanmates what I should choose and they couldn't think of anything. So I just became Name v.5.0 as a place holder and it stuck.
 

TKB

Noob
My name is a homage to my best friend that passed away in 2007. He always used the handle TelekineticGrid for everything so I adopted TelekineticBeing in his memory. I also always name all of my wifi setups TelekineticGrid for the same reason. This way I'll always remember him and the good times we had together.
 

Esoteric

WNBA
7L & @Esoteric from Jedi Mind Tricks. Sadly my brother went to grad school so I'm stuck with the awkward name of 7L. I like the tag nevertheless.
Army of the Pharaohs, brother. Jedi Mind Tricks are also members of AOTP.

But either way, I'll be back someday. Graduate school doesn't last forever.

WayoftheFist

Cold day in hell...
When it came out I loved the album Way of the Fist from Five Finger Death Punch. Pretty much all there is to that story.
