Gaming name/handle

[Waggs]

Was talked about on TS last night, and I couldn't find a thread, so here goes:

Waggs -

First name is Rob(ert) which is pretty common in the workplace.

Last names starts with Wagg(s) and is pretty unique at the workplace.

So there you go.

Waggs

[Crash]

Crash, a throw back to younger (much younger) days and too many car accidents. Mostly late night or early mornings.

[Homie]

KK - only from watching Battlefield Friends i changed to this.

i used to go by the name Homi. based on (homie) american slang i guess.

i used that alias right through my early gaming days in Quake2 onwards, where i was part of 2 of the best UK gaming clans "The Federation" for Team Death Match and "Blooded Yautja Clan" for CTF. we won leagues a few times.

[lespauled]

lespauled is a combination of :

my favorite guitar (at the time) - Les Paul Standard

and how I feel when I hear myself play - appalled.

[bullseye]

I decided Bullseye fit because the first pc game I played ( DOD ) I felt like I had a bullseye on my back .

[OsoTommyDragon]

LOL @ Bullseye!

OsoTommyDragon

Oso = Bear (Nickname from college) <== When I was left out my dorm....
Tommy = self explanatory. My friends in college mixed both Oso + Tommy; also in reference to the movie Tommy Boy which used to be my nick name. "Allegedly" we had "similar personalities". Wild, loud, gregarious, naive, and extremely hyperactive and I had spent 10+ years in College to finish my bachelor degrees (several). Too much partying.
Dragon = I was a member of a gaming group called The Four Dragons back in the days of Delta Force (game) and earlier...

[A4M320]

A4M320

A4 (4th generation) refers to the M16A4M320 Rifle.
M320 refers to the grenade launcher

I’m still trying to figure out to this day how anyone gets "Aim" from A4M320.

[Anialation]

When I was first getting into gaming in high school I played around with a couple of names and with graphics programs to see what would look interesting since a friend of mine had an awesome graphic for his gaming name. I somehow came up with Anialation. At first I wrote it down knowing was probably spelling it wrong, but when I looked it up I like it better than Annihilation.

On Bad Company 2 I'm Whoz. Anialation was taken and my backup "Who" was too short. I liked "Who" because then it would say "Killed by Who" as if it was a question.

I used to use the name "Norman" for LAN games as a reference to this anti-climactic line from Mighty Max:

I’m still trying to figure out to this day how anyone gets "Aim" from A4M320.

I guess it's people trying to add the two letters together but not saying am?
