Title: Why did you choose your nickname and what does it mean?
Post by: Omnipotent on October 31, 2011, 02:37:01 PM: saw in another forum and i thought it'd be fun to start one here in MWF...

i'll go first....

got mine during my highschool days playing multiplayer Half-Life in cybercafes...i was pretty "omnipotent" in that game during those days hence my friends gave me that nick ;D

too bad the gaming society moved on to Startcraft/Counter Strike which i pretty much suck at :Scolding:

Then used the same one for Red Alert, Half Life then Counter Strike as well.

Post by: G.MAC on October 31, 2011, 03:34:58 PM: abbreviation of my name. My gaming name from those days would make it hard for me to be taken seriously.

Post by: terrenceterrence on October 31, 2011, 04:46:15 PM: My name lor what else? Just "Terrence" alone is always taken so just double that lor. Nothing inventive nor special

My gaming nick back the days is always something vulgar and antagonising, thus "cumfarkme" is always used during my Starcraft days hahahhaha.

Mods, please censor if inappropriate.

Title: Re: Why did you choose your nickname and what does it mean?
Post by: hanz079 on October 31, 2011, 08:51:19 PM: Nothing special.
Han is my name and while I was working... people called me Hanz or Hans.
So that kinda got stuck with me.
Birth year 1979... tried to use hanz79 for my registration for emails and stuff and always not available.
So I add a zero in front.
Have been using it ever since.
