Whats the history or reason behind your player alias/username

[Element']

Back when I was a teenager I used to like to skateboard and play ET (15+ years ago), my favorite skateboards were Element skateboards. They always had the coolest decks back then. So naturally I made that my username.  

[Daddy]

Im Daddy because im daddy hahahaha, old picture below around 2014

[Lusciousdrunk]

I used to rage drink and play ET all the time back in 2008-2010 🤪🍻

 

Name just stuck. Used a few variations of it since but always come back to Lush.

[yaya]

damn i like reading about what inspired your aliases, so basically, I have started playing using Lil YaYa!? in 2011 or something i was young lol, next i used "Duster" as an alias because i was obsessed with a online game under the same name, next i used "Force Majeure" because i thought it was funny 😄 @itsmoh knows the reason haha, then i just stuck with "yaya" since it is just a version of my real Arabic name, minus one lettre that foreigners could not pronounce so it just became YAYA and the '!?' is something my brothers and I have always added at the end...

[itsmoh]

it's short for my name Mohamed, used to play with M!MS (music is my savior) and sometimes PRIMO, but now it's just Moh!? since 2011

[Shoresy]

My name is from a show Letterkenny, and also a spinoff of that show that is actually called Shoresy. 

 

It's a great funny show full of insults and fights lol. 

[Kojootti]

When i was teenager, i had to create psn profile and basically every finnish word was taken. My friend used 12 after his username so i just thought to heck with it and typed kojootti12 and it got stuck

[ZeeZuss]

the reason behind my game name was back in 2008, when i was playing with some friends and fell from a tree. I got ran over by a 4 wheeler at same time lmao long story short i laid there and they thought i was dead. When i came too, i stood up as if nothing happened and all i heard was Holy cow ZEEZUSS you rose like jesus, lol it it kinda stuck with my friends, Kinda corny but thats how i got my game name ZeeZuss

[tideman]

My IRL name is "Tymen", but the origins of my alias come from the Germanic middle ages, where "Tideman" apparently was a common name.

Kinda like it, IRL friends also call me like this. 

"Tied" means people in Germanic, and and "Man",.. wel..

So I guess I'm a man of the people 😎

[oldhoff]

[Lagging Noob]

In-game name

In "Clear and Present Danger" (1994), the sniper at the end of the sniping exercise answer the question by saying "I passed the test by being a Snake in the Grass" in the French version.

Then in "Snatch" (2000), Turkish says to Tommy he is a Snake in the Grass (original version) when he offers flower to the lady they want to sell a caravan too.

 

It kinda sums up my approach to the game, I'd rather wait, observe and decide when to strike rather than go front and blow everything with an SMG.

 

Forum name

Lagging Noob is the name i was using in Age of Empire 2, as a special message to players taking the game too seriously that i both suck and will make the game lag like hell, so just consider yourself warned 😎

For some reasons, i was suggested by the system to register to the forums using my Steam name, so i stuck to it.

 

Profile picture

My profile picture is Shy Guy, the equivalent of the Koopa Troopa in the Super Mario Brothers 2, the game that started it all for me, some 35 years ago.

[Hawkeye14733]

HAWKEYE

I chose the name based on the MASH TV series doctor character, not the character from Marvel movies, certainly not the best shooter by any means.

Usually I was classed as a medic and healing more versus the typical rambo medics we see today.

Now, I am more prone to being an engineer, still fixing thing... objects instead of people and dying a lot...
