Where does you name/GT/handle/SC originate from?

[marietta1200]

Mine is from The Wire, prob my favorite show of all time, it's like a show that's a novel, each episode is a chapter, if you want to watch a show that has a climax every single episode watch NCIS or something, The Wire is where it's at man.

It is, no joke, possibly the most important American television show ever.

...and @FuzzyDunlop if you haven't watched 'Show Me a Hero' on HBO yet, you should: asap.

Woah yeah man that miniseries looks incredible thanks for the recommendation

 

[Gesture Required Ahead]

Oh look. This thread again and I just happened to changed handles again. This is why:

 

[DDutchguy]

I'm Dutch and a guy. Dutchguy is often already taken.

 

[GetEmStretch]

On a side note, I hope they bring back Bleach this year @Aizen Taicho!

But as a kid I used to sale candy in School for extra money of course so I always had cash on me. My classmates called me "Stretch" cause I could take anything and sale it for profit...hence stretching the money out. Then while I was in college I did amateur boxing at a local gym, so my corner and sparring partner used to tell me to "GetEmStretch" when I had an opponent against the ropes. Just kept using the same name since 2006...

 

[CassieCageIsMyPunchBag]

I don't like the new characters in MKX. Waste of character slots when there are better characters in the MK Universe. Cassie Cage is the new Kira in my opinion ( A new character that has the properties of two other old characters kombined ) and basically MKX story is MK Muppet Babies. Johnny Cage beating Shinnok is from MK4 but Cassie Cage can go suck a lemon which is why I use her as my punch bag in practice mode. Hence my name.

TBCH I find it ridiculous that Cassie Cage - daughter of Johnny Cage and Sonya Blade - was able to defeat Elder God Shinnok at Maximum Power.
Elder God Shinnok at Maximum Power.
Elder God at Maximum Power.

I approve of your name

TBQH, both Johnny and Cassie are descended from a Mediterranean war race that were bred to combat the gods, why did you think Raiden arrived in story mode when Cage was going to be killed by Quan Chi?

 

[SonicNinja3532]

My name is kinda bland in comparison, but it came from me being influenced by my friends back when I was 11 who had something-ninja, as well as my dad's nickname back when he was a criminal in his younger days. The numbers just come from what was the password for things on my TV box lol. It's a number I always just remember so I always use it for most things. I ended up creating this account to play battlefield 3 because my first account was a child account so...
My first tag name for the sake of mentioning was kinda silly, I called it T13532X after my first name, Tyrese, my brother called me T1 once, and the X because I was 10 at the time of creating it.

 

[Atriox]

A combination of two of my favorite characters ever, Boba Fett and Rick Grimes. Fucking unimaginative, I know...

kinda funny, my real born last name was Grimes.

and at least your name isn't some generic CharacterName1234

Mazochism is a bad trait, sadism is a "bad" trait, sadomazochism is destructive, but feeling your victims' fatal blows and having their death radiating through your body while you're still alive... kimoo..chiii

Actually that's just his most remarkable trait, the character was perfect (and everything associated with him, even his partner was awesome) from the moment he was introduced till the moment he... stopped showing

A too awesome character for a so mainstream story

 

[Hidan]

This is what I was talking about in a previous post here. You and others have these nice little stories behind the origin of your names and I'm here like, "I just thought of it one day..." How effin' boring. lol

Have you ever read books like Warcraft lore, Drizzt or Elric?

Mediterranean war race that were bred to combat the gods

1) to bodyguard the gods
2) I wonder what race would that be?

What village do you come from?

 

[ArmedCalf]

I grew up watching my dad play Counter-Strike on and old computer. I never got to play it but I'd just sit there and watch and it was cool to me. His gamertag was ArmedCow and I'm his son so....ArmedCalf

 

[Sultani]

I watched an episode of Aladdin sometime in like 1994 and there was some giant smoke monster named "Sootinai" that I thought was kinda badass. I thought they were saying Sultani. been using it ever since.

 

[Hidan]

What village do you come from?

If you mean in its storyline from something called Yugakure, but IMO that's bs thought for making fillers. The original idea was that his "headband" was from the Jashin occult (hence the three lines as a symbol) instead of a village.

THAT'S WHY!!!!!

It's bugged me for months (yeah, I'm weird). I only read the manga, I've never watched the anime really. Every time I see your name I mentally stop and think, "Taicho? No, it's Sosuke I think."

Ahem, on topic now. I was looking for an original tag back in high school after months of coming up with nothing better than Omega Storm or Raspberry something (my initials are RAS), I was sitting in English class looking at the short story "The Cask of Amontillado" in a text book. They had pictures of some catacombs and had a heavily scratched up tomb engraving shown in one of them. It vaguely looked like "A 2" on the first line and "VEWOS" on the second. I flipped the image, changed it to Somea 2V and been that way ever since.

Been thinking about changing it to Even Reaper, because my brother is Odd Reaper, but that name's apparently taken on XBL.

Just go II (uppercase ii) before and after it.

I remember your dad.

He jumped over a missile to knife kill me once. Never saw it done before. Never saw it done again.

Sage Leviathan comes from a poem I wrote.
Sarah Silverman is just a comedienne I admire.

I've got many aliases, but Sage is my favorite.

There are a lot of dirty used car salesmen, but not all of them are.

I worked for one for a while who is the most honest guy I know.
