The name of my High Elf lord in my first tournament which I didn't realize needed your characters to be named. Been using it as a screenname ever since.

Got mine from an Ork character I had come up with ages ago. Ah, the memories...

My username is a combination of names of my best friends at the time. To me it means

Ah well Greebynog was already taken, jk

Mine is my nickname from our gaming days. I got this nickname cause an old man I worked with always called me Chief

Mine is because most of the time i get SPANKED! (i.e. get my handed to me)

But i still have fun

My love of artillery,tanks,mechs and big guns coupled with my panicked spelling because i was late for my lesson

My current name's actually an evolution of my original online handle. Many years ago, I started off as Skycat (Beast Wars fandom, heh), and friends kept dicking with it, the bastards. Skykitty, Skykitten, Skitten, Skittles (I hate skittles, argh. No I do not taste like rainbow! ), Skitty, Skits.

It suits me as it is now, and isn't fandom-specific, so I can use it pretty much anywhere. Including meatspace.

I couldn't find any other username!

That I'm awesome. 'nuff said.

I was trying to think of a name. I had.just finished.painting up my Vindicare Assassin and was playing CoD Black OPs. I had a sniper rifle and was on a 23 kill streak, having fired only 23 rounds so far. Each one a headshot kill. Then.I saw the vindicare and had a revelation Its special rule allowing.it to pick its woundee is Deadshot. Hence...

I like tanks. 1944 was the year that tank to tank combat came of age. I have also used treadhead1945, treadster44 and my current XBox Live tag is Stormlegion2k for my SM army.

Mine is a CB radio handle given to me as a kid.
My Dad was "The Red Coyote" and when him and his mates talked about me they called me "The CoyoteCub".

I've used it as my online/gaming name since I was told the story, some 20 odd years ago.

Mine was randomly assigned to me from an old FPS that I played on a Mac back in middle school. Don't remember the game.

My original screen name is BlackTemplar40k as it has been for eons. It will likely continue to be that way for most of my video games even in the future. That changed here however because... well.. you'll see, I promise.

The result of video games and squid week on discovery all at the same time. It's stayed my username for most things, from Dakka to Steam, for the last couple of years.

I cannot remember when or how I got my name, but I've had it for at least 5 years now... On another forum somebody said it sounded like car wreck (can't think why, lol )
But anyways, I use it for everything on the internet, and named my chaos sorcerer with it

Star wars fan*...



(*nerd)

Simple enough really, I'm a sarcastic smartass, and I have a talent for remembering a lot of jokes, which I share with my friends when I'm bored. I'm also the kind of person that will crack jokes about my situation to paramedics as they're putting me in the back of an ambulance. They usually don't find it as funny as I do though.

I name 90% of my characters, models, etc 'Jimbob', the rest are normally either 'Bobjim', 'Jefferey', 'Humphrey' or 'Matilda'. I joined Dakka while being obsessed with the DOW series, and so added 'Commander' to the front

Everyone, at some point or another, had during his or her lifetime watched the hit-quasi science-fiction drama, “LOST”. Anyone who was in tune with this global phenomenon may recall how the creators, especially during the later seasons, seemed to ignore many establishing mysteries from the earlier seasons, in an attempt to simply “finish the show”; Mr.Eko, Walt and the “Dharma Initiative” rabbits. Further, to string together the shambled plot of the show, the creators resorted to introducing newer characters who’s many motives where either to die or act as a “Deus Ex Machina” force.

Lapidus, the pilot, whose name I don within these forums, is one such of these introduced non-sensical character. Hence, I don his name in order to remind everyone that you have a cold chance in hell of surviving an ordeal on a mystical, teleporting island if you’re not a pilot.

Actually, this video sums it up pretty well (sung to the beautiful-as-always melody of "MacGruber").

My name is derived from a series of elements. First of all, my name is Joshua, so I obviously settled for that in the Username. I also lived in Bavaria as a young child and henceforth developed a love for all things German, which accounts for the 'Von', meaning 'of' or 'from'. Also, the last part of my Username has links to the German feel, but it so happened to be a town in my WHFB Empire Army background; 'Wolkestadt'. It means 'Cloud Town', as I am often told that my head is always up in the clouds (partly due to reality being blinded by my imagination ).

... And, of course, I thought it sounded rather cool.

mine comes from frustration

My name is an adaption of a line spoken by Nikoli in Black Ops zombies; "die, you undead flesh addicts!"

I don't mean to be pedantic or anything, but I'm pretty sure Dempsey says that.

It is indeed Dempsey's line

DOOMBREAD is a corruption of the name of a Daemon Prince known as Doombreed. On a thread awhile back, people started calling him DOOMBREAD, and it became a meme of sorts.
