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

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.

most people still call me Homi when im on TS, so ill probably switch back eventually!!!

lespauled is a combination of :

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

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

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

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

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.

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?

Muffinbun: A word that comes from old Scandinavian language meaning : I forgot to load my RPG
This word's Proto-Norse translation was lost for ages but rediscovered after archeologist found cave paintings in northern Norway depicting and unloaded RPG-7V2. Werner Herzog "Film Cave of Forgotten Dreams" goes into depth about the historical importance of such an ancient word as ' muffinbun.' This is 100% hard facts. -Muffinbun
