How Did You Pick Your FGC/Gamer Name/Handle?

[Wigy]

I am known in the fgc as "the beast" or "hands of wizard", but I picked this gamer name because, well yeah. But my real name is Daigo though.

FGC- his mother.

 

[DixieFlatline78]

I like wrestling a lot. I used to cycle through finisher names on Steam but I ended up staying with StylesClash.

My PSN name was because little baby me liked Eragon but couldn't spell Murtagh so Mutough was my MapleStory name and it stuck.

I'm probably gonna change my handle to my wrestling ring name

 

[TurboTaco]

I like mexican food and MegaTaco was already taken on Xbox live

 

[Baconlord]

I'm just pretty fat

 

[scarsunseen]

My dumb name is from lyrics from an old Dream Theater song called Anna Lee. My name is dumb.

 

[Tim Static]

started working for the band Static-X in the early 2000s and the late Wayne Static saw me so much that he started calling me Tim Static. I SO fucking kept it lmao

ps- WASSSSSSUP?!?

 

[SneakyTortoise]

The first games I played online were FPS. I wanted something silly to come up on the kill feed, so that it would read like:

Xx360noscopexx was killed by a sneaky tortoise

Decided to lose the "a" from my gamertag when joining TYM

 

[CrimsonShadow]

@STORMS get in here

 

[xInfra Deadx]

Yes I admit that this was from CoD, but it seemed like a good idea at the time.

I used to have a character in d2 called an_effin_rock for the exact same reason.

Just for you, sweety.

As a child living in Windsor, Pa the storms would often be very bad in the Summer. In fact, we had a tree fall on our house - it broke through area of the roof above the living room where my Mom, sister and I were standing. I remember her screaming at me to get away from the door... I wanted to watch what was going on.

Where I lived was surrounded with trees so the wind would often create a violent atmosphere (trees screaming, swaying, you thought they'd all fall down because of the wind) that I was terrified of as a child. I was so afraid, I would often have a recurring dream of a blackened sky seeking me out in the middle of the day.

Years later (still couldn't think of a name I liked), I was at a friends house and there sat in his living room some relaxation tapes. One of the tapes was called "STORMS".

I was having pie, then I realized you can't have pie without CoolKhwip.

 

[Euph0nic]

it's a dance music label, they make muh favorite rave records 16 some years ago

 

[VSC_Supreme]

I was watching DBZ as a kid and it was the episode when Supreme Kai first revealed who he was, I asked my older brother what Supreme meant and he told me it was the best of the absolute best at the top. I thought he was going to be this incredible super strong bad ass because of what Supreme meant and decided I wanted to adopt that moniker for my online persona. Now everyone thinks its just cause the Clothes and the memes.

 

[BSJeebus]

My gamer handle has been some variation of Slick Tony for, oh, 10 years now. I tried to make my original Xbox 360 avatar look really "hip" (or at least what 13 year old me thought was hip) My dad, seeing my avatar for the first time, thought I looked liked a hustler kid. So he started calling me Slick Tony to mess with me. It just stuck. The ironic part is that my names not even Tony.

 

[grogchugger]

there are like 3 handles I use but the one I use on here/PSN I chose because I'm a fan of the Monkey Island games.

 

[Badboy Takuma]

 

[ChoseDeath]

Just needed a name, so I named myself after one of my favorite characters from the book Heart of Darkness. Which is the book Apocolypse Now is based on.

You have excellent taste sir.

 

[MrArcher15]

So mine is just completely generic but I wanted to ask all of you: how did you pick your handle for games? If it's something we all know, why was that particular thing important to you? Etc.

I really like my last name which is archer and when i played football I wore the number 15 because my mom was born on the first of august while my grandmother was born on the 5th of may . I just stuck the mr in there cuz in school thats what they called me, mr archer.

 

[KingKhrystopher]

I got a bunch to go through, so I'll just explain them all.

I developed KingKhrystopher because I used to write fantasy novels literally all the time. One of the main characters I made was named Khrystopher, a more "regal" form of Christopher (at least IMO at the time). I still stand by it though. And when I joined TYM I didn't intend on staying long or even talking at all, so I was just like, fuck it, Khrystopher. Then I threw King in front of it to assert my dominance.

My PSN is IShadowOfLight, and I made that name because my previous account (To_The_Empire) got banned, so I did Shadow Of Light because it's an oxymoron and because everyone always says I'm a white male in a black male's body. I now realize how problematic that is, but oh well, too late.

And then lastly my current name I'm going by is Legend-Valor Michael Jones, which is a slightly altered form of my real full name, and which I plan to officially change my name to whenever I decide to move out of Louisiana.

 

[Solo]

I honestly thought Solo sounded like a cool name, so I stuck with it.

 

[B. Shazzy]

daigo recommended it to me

 

[CrimsonShadow]

[B. Shazzy]

newsflash. all us top sf players chill with each other.

 

[Saint Op Omen]

This topic is good...thanks for the read.

I mostly lurk but I'll join anyways .

The Op part has always been part of my name everywhere and I've had it as long as I can remember @1992... but I literally have no clue how I got it...mostly because I cant remember anything before that year. I was 12..and got hit by lightning. .but thats what everyone in school and such called me so I kept it going..funny thing is everyone group had different reasons for it..
the saint part was because 1. all my real names are saints. 2. I am most definitely not 1..and 3. im an artist who did lots of graffiti & st. op was easy to do and I hit up a lot of stop signs.
the omen thing is random as all the things i put after op..most of them for rhyming purposes as I also write lyrics n such...ok thanks bye
