I have been considering adopting 'Grimmus', the nickname I have been giving by a few of you LM regulars, for any future forums/games/etc. I've never seen anyone with that name, and its generally pretty cool.
You *DO* know what a "Grimace" is... don't you?

Yea, I know. But its a nice alternative, as I've never seen anyone use 'Grimace', let alone 'Grimmus'. So I know it would be unique.

I decide to play around with it and didnt wanna screw my stats up (yes at one time i was a stat... well... you know...) so i changed my name... to Mouse. It kinda grew on me...  <_<
Don't feel too bad. I have a tendancy when playing new games that I'm not familiar with to change my name to something like 'n00b13' or 'n00b3h' or 'teh_n00bz0r' or some other idiotic variation of that. It's goofy, but I've got some bizarre fear that, say, people I know from other games are going to come along and see me, you know? And they'll all laugh and say "OMG Bob is acting like such a nub! He doesn't know how to play this game at all! Let's exclude him from all internet related social activities in the future!"  

Sometimes I think I have some real problems.  :blink:


Edit: Clearly I DO have problems, as somehow I didn't realize that I JUST POSTED IN THIS THREAD. Wow. GG Bob. The edit button is your friend. Why don't I just talk to myself all night then, hmm?

I'm geminosity no matter what I do, I believe in facing the music; if I'm new to a game I tend to pick them up quickly but if anyone gives me hastle they get it back 3 times worse =3
I don't care about records; those with super records probably cheated or used name changing anyways and it means all of jack at the end of the day =P

see the thing is ... i have no 'im playing good today' name. when we (jefe + me) played cs the plan was frequently:

bm takes point
bm opens door
bm fires off as many bullets as possible to
a) possibly kill/injure something
B) draw fire
jefe picks off people shooting at bm from around doorframe

edit: smiley bad for mage, B) ==  sunglasses

teh story of thorax:

When i first started playing online games i never could decide on a name for myself. The names i'd assume usually were just joke names to get a laugh from when you see it. One of the names I had used that i particularily liked was ChaotiX... but hten someone at school came up to me and said, "hey, it's Chaotix!". hearing it said by another person kinda ruined the way the name sounded, so i abandoned it and resumed with the joke names. Then one day, while playing NS (i dont rememebr the version number... it was the one before 1.3 or something... must have been 1.2), I decided to change my name while in-game. I was going throug my head for names I could use, then i started thinking about UT2k3, and how the narrator dude would announce the character names when you selected them. I went through a bunch of names, saying them out loud and trying to imitate the announcer. I came to the bots that had cool names, Cobalt, Corrosion, Syzygy... then i came to Thorax. "Hmm, that sounds cool" i thought. and i changed my name to that. Now, thile i have been using this name the longest, i have taken on a few other names after choosing ThoraX just for a test run. Names like XenohunteR and XenoHybriD, but they never made the cut. I am, and forever will be, ThoraX... no matter how many people say, "WTF is a thorax?" or, "Thor had a hammer not an axe, you nub!"
This is going to be some kind of reunion, isn't it?

Obviously those people are retarded because the thorax is, pretty much, THE CHEST.

tho·rax    ( P )  Pronunciation Key  (thôrks, thr-)
n. pl. tho·rax·es or tho·ra·ces (thôr-sz, thr-)
-The part of the human body between the neck and the diaphragm, partially encased by the ribs and containing the heart and lungs; the chest.
-A part in other vertebrates that corresponds to the human thorax.
-The second or middle region of the body of an arthropod, between the head and the abdomen, in insects bearing the true legs and wings.


As for me, I picked up this name while reading a website about amazing animals. As I've had to say many times before, architeuthis means giant squid and giant squids are horribly awesome. Also, if you have to ask how to pronounce it, it's ARCHIE.

I only use Architeuthis for FPS games though, practically everywhere else I'm Galinstar, as I've been using that name for years. I am, as far as I know, the only Galinstar around, except for a freaking WASHING MACHINE REPAIR COMPANY in England.

I also used Psychoburn the first summer I discovered TFC.

I remember a very little known software company called the "Syzygy Cult". Creepy. Does Syzygy mean anything?
