- Your Gaming Alias
- Posted 3 months, 1 weeks ago by Voyou San
So everyone has their little backstory behind their gaming alias, hell that is one of the coolest things, finding out how people came up with their name. So i was wondering, how did everyone get their gaming alias and just for conversation sake, how did everyone get their GV username?
My gaming alias : Lifewish
I got this when playing Counter-Strike. I was playing with a couple of friends when a guy came in named Deathwish. We played a couple of rounds and we were all joking around and having fun gaming with this guy so i decided to change my name to joke with him, for shits and giggles, thus I changed it to Lifewish and it has stuck with me ever since.
My GV username
Well this is a different story. I was playing Ultima Online at the time and my brother was using the name Soccer Hooligan. I loved the name cause, well lets be frank, Soccer is the greatest thing ever. So i was making a new character and I decided to use Hooligan because it was fresh on my mind and thought, well saint would be pretty cool, ya know, a Hooligan Saint, it just sounded cool, but i didn't want my name to be so similar to my brother's so i tried it in a different language and thats when i ended up with Voyou San which in Italian means Hooligan Saint.

Ubrasaur is a cross between uber and dinosaur. It sounsd less awk. than "Ubersaur".
Darth Mattingly has replaced and taken over all of my usernames and is simply from the untold story of Don Mattingly's fall to the Darkside after coming so close to winning a World Series ring in 1995 and then to retire just when the Yankees would become the greatest team of the 90's. His massive display of Gold Glove awards was nothing compared to his rage and thus Darth Mattingly was born.
My original back in the times of Star Wars: Tie Fighter & Star Wars: Rebel Assault I&II was "Skytaker". A hybrid of Luke Skywalker and just someone that can "take to the skies" as I used to like to say when I was a little kid.
Stange how things are remembered.
Ninjapino: I'm the Fillipino ninja
Light_Strider_X: A comic book character I made up in the 6th grade. That's not even his name anymore, but used it on everything for so long until I came up with Ninjapino just last year.
FemJesse (Online alias, most games)
My nickname used to be Jessy but I wanted to be different so I started spelling it the boy's way. To let people know who they were dealing with online, I stuck Fem in front of it.
MamaMafia (other games and characters)
My friends always make fun of me for being an old italian lady at heart... and I get aways with alliteration!
MutantKougra (Warcraft III)
I had this name for a while. Its my favorite neopet, even though I haven't played neopets in years. Plus, it makes dickholes online say "OMG NEOPETS FA*" To which I reply "?" (thus turning the tables making them the one who new what it was!)
Good times!
@Voyou- good call on this blog dude... I love these stories!
seanadelph: My first name, combined with the third syllable of the city I was living in when I created my XBLA account.
Lot's of back stories up in here!
my freshman year of college my boyfriend was several states away. he got me into MUDing as a way to talk for free in real-time. i picked the name 'makyo' out of a zen dictionary; it is a hallucination that appears to you when you're meditating that fools you into thinking you have reached nirvana. it's pretty much the name i use for everything, gaming and online, because i like it and it's fairly unusual so it's not often taken.
haha some good back stories to some of these names
Mellowdaddee....mellow guy.....who's your daddy.....
Gaming alias - Mr. Death: I think I came up with for my save file in Perfect Dark. I guess I wanted something that sounded intimidating, but just "Death" would be overdone. So I threw the "Mr." in there because to me it sounded silly to me. I think I was partially influenced by Hunk from Resident Evil 2 (I think someone referred to him as "Mr. Death" at one point, but I'm not sure.)
BurningStickman has a more colorful backstory. Back in High School, we had to do a history project about a section of the book about some civil strife in France in the middle ages. A couple friends and I decided to make a video presentation, and the result can best be described as Monty Python on a high school budget. Our centerpiece gag (in fact, the first one we came up with) was inspired by a passage that read that hundreds were "tortured, beaten, and burned" for their religious beliefs. For the third part of that narration, we made a little guy out of popsicle sticks (complete with goofy smile), wrapped a paper napkin around him like a tunic, put him on the grill, and lit him aflame.
Since then, I've used it as a sort of company name for my projects (to date, my now-finished webcomic, and my video game writing career), and as a slightly more family friendly handle than "Mr. Death."
Gosh, I've used so many over the years....
GV: loltim- I'm Tim, and I try to bring the lol.
other favorites include:
Winderella- She was full of win...
MisterShifty- This dude was not to be trusted
Dr.Awkward- Loved it when people realized its a palindrome
General Tso So- Born of mediocre take out
noYOUsuck- saved me a lot of typing
And of course my most famous avatars: Miley Cyrus/Hannah Montana.
Yup, they're both really me. Its amazing how a wig, some make up, and collagen in the all right places will fool an army of tweens. Now if you'll excuse me I have to go text one of the Jonas brothers. I forget which, though...
Puxel
A. It's semi-original and short. (and originally, a typo)
B. It's not taken ANYWHERE
C. Pux is an easy abbreviation, and all my friends are lazy typists.
Sarah = my name. Duh.
total blam blam = lyrics from a David Bowie song. I LOVE BOWIE. Also, Xbox Live wouldn't let me use Sarah the beef or beefcake, which made me sad.
sarahthebeef = PSN, though, was just dandy with it (but beefcake still wasn't happening). My last name means "the beef" in French, so I used to get called about 20 different variations on beef, some of which you do not want to know.
Because I am a clutch power hitter, especially in the playoffs, and I'm high in vitamins.
@Coop I think we've all been their. Back when everyone thought they were a hacker cause they could use a trojan or they knew how to get an ip address. Funny story though!
@ Raccoonacorn:
Isn't crapping skittles good? I sure think it is!
Gaming name: RumpledForeskin - I don't know, I think I came up with it while I was drunk.
GV name: Made-up mythological beast that pretty much rules and craps skittles.
Old name: Haka316 - derived from me being 13 and thinking that I was a hacker because I knew how to use the internet, and because Stone Cold Steve Austin was the man.
Middle Name: SuperJuanChango - Translates (roughly) to "Super Jon Monkey" and was my nickname in high school spanish.
Current: Coop - My last name is Cooper.
no idea, it's the login name I was using on BBSes back in the 90's
