MattyClutch
United States711 Posts
Years later I went to a Day of Defeat LAN event in Atlanta (think it was Fraglanta, but not 100%) on the 'friends team'. Basically a bunch of guys who were just going to watch our friends who actually played competitively and decided 'why don't we just make a team for fun'. Anyway we were seeded last and had to play the previous years winner first game. I did surprisingly well. While we lost handily I never let the other team all cap. I would always hop out at the last minute or whatever. After the game when I went back into the spectator area where people had been watching on the projector my friends had got people to chant MattyClutch. I thought it was hilarious and just went with it from there. | ||

Tezzick

The combat instructor's name on tutorial island was Dezzick, I thought I was all combat-y so I went through the alphabet and Tezzick sounded the best. I can't believe I remember that after 10 years... | ||

Dyme
Germany523 Posts
Everyone called me Dyme (though they pronounced it German obviously, like Düme. Don't know how to make ü-sound in English), well, anyways it is way nerdier than urbandictionaries definition of dyme "1. A female deemed to be a 10 on a scale of 1-10, extremely attractive ". And way less female. But I am not Korean, so I can't just switch my ID all the time. | ||

PhalThrax
United States14 Posts
I was writing an essay for a particular piece discussing forms of military attacks and strategies and how they've evolved over the centuries. My goal was to emphasize how technology has allowed for people to generate more pernicious attacks while using less resources (simple essay, but I felt the need to elaborate). The example I used for a resource-loaded method of attack was a phalanx formation used predominantly by the ancient Greeks. An example I used to describe a resource-light method of assault was an anthrax attack, citing examples of its use dating back to the early 1900s. To apply more pretention to the article, I created a word that described a dramatic shift in attack procedures over time: phalthrax. A few months later I acquired Diablo 1, which happened to be the first video game I had played that allowed for internet-based multiplayer. Since I needed a handle, I decided to choose that clever word that I had come up with a few weeks prior. Sounded quite catchy, and people seemed to enjoy creating unique nicknames from it (PT, PH, phal, PThrax, etc). Many people recognized me by the name, so I decided to continually use that handle in future game releases so that friends could easily follow where I was and what I was doing. Since then, I've used the handle in practically every forum and game that I've played. I had to be clever in Guild Wars, though, since it required a first and last name. I'm fairly certain you can guess what I used: Phal Thrax. I still enjoy the ID quite a bit | ||

They might be giants made an album for kids called "Here Comes Science." On it is the most amazing song ever about a magical elf that creates rainbows.

Robonord
United States311 Posts
It all started when I was playing WoW back in college. I didn't know anyone else that played until I met a guy in one of my classes that played. I was desperate to play with someone I knew so I rolled a troll priest on his server. Since this wasn't my main I decided to come up with a joke name which ended up being Ovulicious (a Simpsons reference). Eventually, that guy quit the game and I decided to make my priest my main but I didn't wanna have Ovulicious as my name. This was back in classic so there were no paid name changes yet so I ended up reporting myself for having an offensive name and the GM was kind enough to let me change it! I had a naming convention with my other characters where I would name them after street names near where I live, so I picked my priest's name as Nordhoff, which is the street my college was on. Fast forward to BC, my priest is still my main, but I hated playing trolls. They were so ugly. Why couldn't I have rolled as a sexy blood elf priest? I thought to myself, "But Nordhoff isn't exactly a good name for a female priest... Something like Nordia would be a lot better..." When WotLK came out and I switched mains from my troll priest to my female blood elf paladin I knew the exact name to change it to... But! Nordia was taken! WTF! Ah well I'll just stick an "h" on the end. Hence my paladin was named Nordiah. Now in my new guild, one guy had named his alt "Robogarim" as his mains name was Garim. Everyone started copying him: "Roboysa", "Robostreamer" and it sounded funny to me. So I made an alt called Robonord right there. When SC2 came out, I couldn't use the name Nordiah because it was too feminine so I stuck with Robonord. | ||
