Sup all, just a random thought, why did you choose the name you play with?
I started out playing as Poo Dollar after a cool collage game, but after playing a while I needed a change, so Inertia works for me as my score/rank will attest ( who gives a sh*t about rank????)
Kinda self explanitory for those who have played with me. But I am thinking of changing it to "NC Joes Pwner"
what do you all think?

Mine is from Shlonky Dong which is my AIM name, which comes from Donkey Kong. Used to play Mario Kart (for snes and is THE best racing game EVER) used to race with Donky Kong which turned into Shlonky Kong and then Shlonky Dong. Been using this alias for almost 10 years now. Damn I'm old. :tdown:

My personality used to be really rogue like and doing my own sh*t, but it also stems from a deep rooted love for star wars and rogue squadron. Been my sn, email, and name for almost 10 years now. Rogue Squadron from the book series (X-wing), which I think it was Ziros... that has a quote from as his sig "when no other opportunity presents itself... shoot everything in sight" - Garik "the Face" Loran.

The Ally part I added because its a nice contradicition of terms, a rogue does things on their own, not with someone else. So the idea of working together with an ally is foreign and interesting.

Mine stems from when I first started Counter Strike. I sucked at CS when I first started, like most of us did. I usually had 3 kills for every 12 deaths if I was lucky. So I named myself Ezkill. After a while I started getting better and used Ezekill, cause I still wasn't great. Then through many mistypings of my name, Ezekiel became a common name people called me because of not taking time to read my name. By then I was decent at CS, usually averaging at least a 1.2 k/d ratio. So I adopted the name Ezekiel. And, that's the name I've used since on anything I can use the name on.

Wow, I never really thought on how complicated the series of events came to my name. :wtf:

Note: My name has nothing to do with the religious prophet Ezekiel. Though, I do like the angel Ezekiel. Since, he's the angel of death and transformation.

At The Gates=bad ass band...but It became my nick name on EQ and any other fps I played,I may not have gotten the most kills, but I was usually the first one at the gatesof the enemies bases, spamming rockets, nades, flame throwers, not trying to go off topic but anyone remember Alien vs Pred, that skirmish level where you have to run from a downed dropship, and at the end of the map is a base, and you have aliens just coming from everywhere, thats another game that earned me that name. :tup:

Wow, I always wondered where you got your name. And I've watched the 5th Element hundreds of times. Yet I've never made the connection.
