So we as proud Trinidadians, Tobagonians and other Caribbean islanders, are very creative. More so creative when making up nick names for we partners and friends. And apparently even more creative when making up names for ourselves.
That being said, how did you come up with your gamer tag/handle that you use in the various games you pwn through?
a show? a slang ? a car?

Hmm....very intriguing thread.
Well, before I was initiated into Shadow Skill, I went by the arcade name 'NEO', in the Consort Mall arcade. I used to sign by my initials, 'RJR', but, after seeing the Matrix, I decided to pay homage to Neo by signing my name as such, to indicate that I was 'the One', when it came to games like Marvel vs. Capcom.
When I was about to be initiated into Shadow Skill, my fellow SS member Kaz told me that 'Neo' was already taken by somebody else, and that I had to come up with a new GATT name. I thought about it for a bit, and then told him 'No problem. Just call me the New Era Outlaw.' As you can see, it's a little acronym that I devised for myself. Now, not only do I have a snazzy GATT name that I can call my own, but in a sense, I also retain my old alias (My GATT name is also lengthy, so people call me 'NEO' for short.)
While it originated as nothing more than as a clever acronym for 'NEO', I soon developed it as something much more. As you can tell from my art, I've turned the New Era Outlaw into a character all on his own. I've also strived to separate the 'New Era Outlaw' from the Matrix 'Neo', to give myself some form of individuality....what can I say, you sort of grow away from these things after a while.
Now, in the present, I'm happy to say that the New Era Outlaw is truly breaking ground as his own man these days. People know me as the guy who kicks ass and takes names in Marvel vs. Capcom 2, the wise, all-knowing (underdog) sage in Yu-Gi-Oh!, and, unfortunately, in some cases, a pompous jerk at times, too. (sigh) I guess we all have our faults, don't we? But one thing is for certain, though....the New Era Outlaw is here to stay. 8)

-
Well The_Falener came from that word Fal which everyone in my class at a point in time was always using. It was so freaking annoying that everyone was sayin "eh boy yuh fallen" so I say "I guess that make me a falener" :idea: and then the world's newest superhero emerged, with the power (lower voice and say this dramatically) to Fal! (which is now my name for those games)
-
ZUSE, cuz it's a powerful name, and it just stuck wit me over time.

my game name iz apple
-
rb = initials 2k2 = year i joined gatt
other early gatt aliases - the zk maiden masher
like some other ppl i didnt think i would be staying long on gatt ( boy was i wrong) so i figured hey use rb2k2 , the maiden masher thing was because i was one of the only persons around here who used Iori and he became my signature character, his maiden masher super became my signature move also i was in zk at the time. Also known as Geese on the gatt irc chat , probably because i'm the only mofo you'll find playing with Geese Howard around here.

-
i get my name from a anime cartoon named gandum wing
-
Well from the begining of my gaming days I always used th name ARCH ANGEL... I have always had a facination with theology and the development of a higher yet lower class of powerfull beings thats me i guess.. But normally when playing games i go by the alias St. Micheal my patron saint and leader of the armies of god
Christian Mytholgy ....
And no I am not religious !!
-
from whooping ass in soul calibur with ... guess who.
before that i would simply be refer to as
{insert real name here} is a beast
-
I got mine as its a synonym for blizzard or extreme cold, just the way I like to be
-
My name is a word of my own creation made of 2 words:
Psi - meaning mind
Val - short 4 Valentiine thats when my birthday is supposedly meaning love
PsiVal - meaning Konfusion logic(mind, logical thinking) verses illogic(love, illogical or irrational thinking)
I joined gatt at a time that i was feeling philisophical cause some thing real bull$hit had happened between me and a good friend of mine(female of course)
P.S. - when i play any game game how i move is erratic or may seem so because i fine in most games ppl try 2 predict ones moves so i try 2 variate my movements as much as i can

to look into my eyes

-
I looked and I am still alive :P
-
i use that name because
i really joined gatt as such around the same time as butterkinfe
and crazy samurai
so we all decided to get some funny name
that ppl would take seriously until we showed them our skill
and mangoseed just popped into my head
dont really now why ???
-
my game name is dot (.) simply because its short
-
Damn you rb2k2 and Bob because of the both of you and your bull@#!@ and too much Austain Powers I kept getting called Minibob and it got stuck (but now I am taller than Bob
MUHAHAHAHA) licks inhmc
-
Where can I begin
My original screen name was Samanosuke (after the onimusha guy).But I changed it to Bob because
A) Nobody cud pronounce or spell samanosuke properly
B) Bob is Hwoarang's pet name on the Tekkenzaibatsu forums (guess who my fav character is in tekken)
Everyone saw my favoritism towards hwoarang and started calling me Bob and the name stuck.
Ironically people started calling Hwoarang, Bob because they cudden spell or pronounce his name either.
ILLITERATE BASTARDS!!!
-
mine from the japanese word Shinkuu (as in Ryu's Super)
Shinkuu = Power
Jdcrys = My "Pen Name"
Shinachi Kuuchima
Heitatchi + Shinkuu in Blender!!!
:lol:
-
I've been here a lil while and I came across some interesting names. Mine is simple, Im called whip by some home by me and so i wanted to keep that name so I made it into whiplash just for here...
-
I've been using w1ntry or wintry for a LONG time. I used to use it on MSN and thus when I came to GATT I kept it, but seeing as gamers tend to replace letters and such I thought well W1nTry would be more appropriate.

every now and then some one comes along and makes this exact thread without ever searching to see if one existed lol sigh

every now and then some one comes along and makes this exact thread without ever searching to see if one existed lol sigh
and each time a staff member aware of the fact instead of redirecting will make that comment XD

Yup. I'll try to look for the old 'How did you get your GATT name?' thread and sticky it.
Probably not here, though, seeing as how we have too many stickies.
EDIT: Looking back, I realised that those old threads only talked about how we joined GATT, not really on the origin of our names. However, I could be wrong, because I do remember a thread where some of us talked about why we call ourselves so-and-so. And, if that's the case, damn, is it hard to find.
-
every now and then some one comes along and makes this exact thread without ever searching to see if one existed lol sigh
Hey i have searched but didnt find any threads like this..anyhoe my bad
-
Well, I found a thread on how people got their GATT names, but God DAMN.
OLD THREAD is OLLLLLLLLLLLLLLD.
http://gatt.carigamers.com/index.php/topic,3733.0.html
I suppose there wouldn't be any harm discussing this here, then.
So, I'll start with a quote from that very same page.
Hmm....very intriguing thread.

I used to sign by my initials, 'RJR', but, after seeing the Matrix, I decided to pay homage to Neo by signing my name as such, to indicate that I was 'the One', when it came to games like Marvel vs. Capcom.

Its amazing how many of those names have either become inactive or defected to other forums.
-
...not really
why is rb2k2 still active :S i changed that to rb when i was admin
were the databases merged ?
-
Q - Quicksilver
I was one of the first, if not the first, to consistently play KI2 on Ultra speed in the arcade. Not once in a while... CONSISTENTLY, and still perform like a maniac, infinite Ultra included (I think I still have the arcade record for that). My player of choice was Fulgore and I use to pick him in a kinda darkish, dull chrome. It's the colour right after the yellow-eyed Fulgore.
So, Ultra speed + Darkish chrome = Quick Silver. I just use to sign "Q" and ppl left it at that; The "Q" stuck. Now I even use it as my pen name in poetry and as my nickname when I did Kung Fu (Shui Yin). :awesome:
-
I tried a whole string of things and they were already taken, and couldn't come up with an original name so I picked my favorite Naruto character. 500+ posts down the road, I'm still wondering if I can change it. Admins?
-
sure you can. What name would you prefer to have displayed?
-
Eroo - the sound Blanka does make.
-
I get my name from 3 places
1. Meh bro used to call me silvaback cuz I had hardd back (after d gorillas)
2. My hair does sometimes shine on my arm and back when I by the beach an ting (again like a silverback gorilla..)
3. Sweating in cafe an some noob bawl out "weyyy like you is a Silverback or wah..how you playin wit dem guerrilla tactics" (from SoF 2 days)
-
Philosophical45; actually i have used this name in many forums and chat programs.. mainly related to music.. i first used the name when i started using SoulSeek.. and it stemed onto Paltalk when i participated in small sound clashes online.. now i just use it in any forum basically.. and sometimes i use it as my game id.. but i aslo use Shotology101
-
Eroo - the sound Blanka does make.
ROFLLLLLL Yuh dam right ...he does sound like he forcin ah load wee
-

Sorry bout the late reply
If this can work, then : "AR!Ø"
If not then just Ario
-
And....done.
-
quick response. show off NEO.
-
I have been using this name since Quake 3 days so from then to now still going strong in fps games online.
-
Thank you
-
Let's see,
I choose mine because it was my email address, and for those people that know me they know I am a bit on the psychotic side, the "Split" part I don't know about, I joined GATT since I was in High School so I really can't remember what "phase" of life I was in, now I would love to change it to something a little bit more feminine or a little bit more to suit my personality but hey everyone knows me here as this.....so I don't know maybe one day I will beg an Admin to change it, not sure if I am ready to give up my "identity" here yet though....

i coulda swear there was a thread about this somewhere...
well had started listening to this band Fields of the Nephilim and googled 'nephilim' to find out what it was about ended up liking it so i took it up as my handle a while back
נְפִלִים - is how it's commonly spelled in Hebrew (given that there are like 5/6 different interpretations/pronounciations/spellings of the word)
i just went with the one that occurs first in the old testament as it's more commonly known among those of the Christian and Hindu persuasions
i liked it so much i have it tattooed on my wrist

It's my gamertag. I tend to shoot ppl from long range. Besides Archer just sounds cool to me :awesome:
-
I sign up so long I forget why I even chose my name. I'm actually a pretty laid back kinda guy. :lol: Guess it sounded cool at the time. Always wished I could change it though.
-
yea i watched sword of the berserker. was intrigued ay how epically awesometastic and dread guts (main character) was...the number 28 is my lucky number too. go figure..
that was ages ago though. think I should change ett now..
-
I can't believe this thread has been around for so long and I have never posted on it, especially since I'm always answering this very same question. So here goes:
Back in the day when I first started gaming I was into racing games so I called myself "fast track" but I was playing this motor cross game that couldn't take a name that long so I shortened it to PHASTRAQ.
Then I started playing shooters, specifically Unreal and C.O.D. and the name Phastraq worked cause I was always the most agile but I noticed that when you killed someone the game said on their screen "You were killed by Phastraq" so as a joke I changed my name to AIDS and so it read "You were killed by AIDS"
Anywho, the name stuck and as I continued to play COD I developed a knack for being unkillable and even when killed I would respawn and instantly kill the person that killed me. People started using terms like "AIDS is a killer" and "You can't get rid of AIDS" so the name stuck.
Surprisingly, girls usually are intrigued by the name and it's a great conversation starter so if it aint broke why fix it. :)

You mean to tell me, girls WANT AIDS?? O_o ROFL!!!
-
Argh. I am so sick and tired of this thread. It's like a frigging zombie....you think it's dead and buried, only for somebody to dig it up again.
I'm inclined to give this the 'What is Chakra?' treatment, to be honest.
-

-
What? Don't tell me you're attached to this thread or something, EK. Because if you must know, I really, sincerely HATE this thread.

So we as proud Trinidadians, Tobagonians and other Caribbean islanders, are very creative. More so creative when making up nick names for we partners and friends. And apparently even more creative when making up names for ourselves.
That being said, how did you come up with your gamer tag/handle that you use in the various games you pwn through?
I'll start. I pride myself on being somewhat of a virtuous kinda guy. For those who've interacted with me in on that level wud understand why. Belonged to the scout troop in my secondary school which had the motto, "V.I.C. - Virtue, Integrity, Consistency". Those watch words stuck with me, so thus VirtueTT popped into my head when i started playing SC2. And of course the "TT" to mark me as a Trini =D
Now.. who's next?
-
My gamer handle is actually "shezie" and its that simply because its my nickname since birth.
UltimateGamer which i use here was as a result of my gaming prowess among my peers. They actually referred to me as the Ultimate Gamer - get it.
-
My Gamertag is RedlumTT, actually came up with this when i set-up my Xbox Live account on the first Xbox when Halo 2 was the game to sweat online...it stems from one of my favorite TV shows back in the 90's...some of you might know it..The X-Files..hence my name Redlum, which is Mulder spelt backwards, I added the TT later on when I got my 360 and decided to change my tag from Redlum08 to RedlumTT...
-
For me its two fold
1. Berzerk -(http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Berzerk (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Berzerk)) had an affinity for these types of games as a kid. Would sneak over to my neighbors home to play. Heck one of my earliest memories was playing pacman on a mini arcade machine I had at home. Must have been three years old or so at the time. Since then Ive always loved aimlessly shooting stuff.
Then there is Berserk. the anime. http://www.animenewsnetwork.com/encyclopedia/anime.php?id=328
Watched it loved it, found the main character Guts to be the epitome of baddassery and just sheer brute force and ignorance. (somewhat juvenile but say what.)
Been considering a name change of late though... :lol:
-
I'm the mailman because I deliver a hurting....Muhahaha......
No really I'm mailman because I wanted to just say something that delivers and 166 was my house number in Couva
-
Originally came up with Reaper2051 an that stuck with me during the Euro+ days
Then i went with Immortal_Rites for a couple of days as a shout out to one of my favorite Morbid Angel songs of the same name.
After those days I ran with a crew on COD4 for a while an when we spoke on Vent and I use to laugh alot they sometimes call me Joker so I went from Immortal_Rites to Immortal Joker.
Now I go by EAGLE_66 as a member of the Eagles Squadron clan.
-
I made mine up....yea.....I'm red, I like redfish......hence redfish.....yea pretty lame huh....lol
-
I usually go by AvatarTT on the PC. Started using that since 2008 in anticipation of the movie Avatar, being a James Cameron fan.
Unfortunately someone else is using AvatarTT as their PSN ID. So I came up with BloodyAvatar for that. The "Bloody" part comes from being a Dexter fan. "Born in Blood"
-
Made up the name Archer whilst playing COD4/COD2 in internet cafes and the name just stuck. Also I kinda take shots from a distance...like an archer :D
-
I came up with W1nTry prolly 2006/7 when I got my xbox, it came from wintry (http://www.thefreedictionary.com/wintry) (click for meaning) which I picked up for an msn handle since 1995 thereabouts. At the time I wanted something to convey the attitude of being cold (which I am apparently quite alot) so I chose wintry, when l33tsp3@k came my way and XBL it became what it is now.
-
My name is actually Quicksilver. I was one of the first (if not THE first) to consistently and competently play KI2 on Ultra Speed in arcades and my character of choice was Fulgore in a dark, dirty-looking chrome colour, infinite Ultra combo included.
Ultra Speed + Dutty chrome = Quicksilver
Of course, that doesn't usually fit when signing for your score so I shortened it to "Q". I'm a bit of a combo nut and ppl liked to watch me play so they saw when I signed "Q" and I've been known as that ever since. Also when I was heavy into "gym-busting", I would go to a strange arcade, kick everyone's ass without saying a word, sign "Q" and then leave. As far as they knew, "Q" was my name.

My gamertag came about naturaly i believe. you shoot me, hence the expression "Agokillya" which in the latin term meaning:
"A" - I am, meaning me :D
"go" - goin to, at some point eventualy
"kill" - self explanitory
"ya" - meaning you, your split screen buddy and everyone else in your clan, maybe your dog too.
-
^ LMFAO!!!

LoL @ Agokillya.
Venom from Spiderman is my favorite comic book villain and I just added my initials in front...NDVenom :)

I came up with mine back in 06 when I started playing CS...to many ppl hand my nickname froggy so I decided to make something new and while listening to some Bob Marley I figured I would use something with Jah in it and I played around with a few names till i did a google on Jarrox and there was nothing using that name so I registered it on steam.

@ w1nTry i always read that as Win-Try, like a taunt: "I'll win...You keep trying"
@ o/c what does it stand for then?
Mine came from Metal Gear Solid, when i played it, it was one of the most amazing games i ever came across. I used to go by "liquid" and the character liquid snake really caught my eye. I changed it to "LiQuiDSNaKe" but that's too long to keep typing everywhere so i changed it to LQDSNK which is the same thing anyway, somehow people rarely recognise it as that though.

Got mine from playing Unreal Tournament 2003. Allyuh remember the announcer used to say things like "DOUBLE KILL", "MULTI KILL" etc.. well one of the things he used to say was FLAK MONKEY! (activated after getting 15 kills with the flak cannon or something). I mistakenly heard "mad monkey" and adopted it as my gamer tag. When I eventually found out the correct thing I was like..."f*ck it, mad monkey sounds cooler anyway"
-
These are awesome :)
-
sure nobody wanna know where i get doomtack from...
but, in ninja gaiden 2 for the NES, when u go to fight the boss...
the song that is heard kinda sounded like
"doom tack doom tack doom tack doom tack"... (i was really young)
so since i was small i always called all bosses in any game,
a doomtack...
-
These are awesome :)
Indeed... We're like the Justice League with different origin stories, lol.

@ w1nTry i always read that as Win-Try, like a taunt: "I'll win...You keep trying"
It works well as a taunt as well interpreted in different ways, such as what you said, also Win-in-1-Try

Ah boy, somebody delete meh post. Nice ness

i remember there was a thread like this.
Philosophical45 - mostly used as my forum and chat room handle. Probably used it in a game once.
Bin Fraggin - Used this in my early quake3 and unreal tournament days. Just mocking Bin Landen. I was a run and gun addict, i still am.. lol
Shotology101 - my current handle, changed it from BinFraggin, i've used this since quake 3 and ut2k3 days, especially when guys in school used to run their mouth about being the best in UT. So i said, listen to me, i'll teach you how to shoot. Until i got banned from playing in the school lan sweat for being a show off, steups..lol. I wonder if i can get on nasty like that again..lol

shivadee - first "version" of my gamertag. Came up because people in the US cant say "Deonarine" properly so they just say "shivadee"
shivad33 - second iteration of the first name
Xexyz - an NES game from "back in the day". Pronounced "Zex-is". People well ketch they @ss to say this right and used to say "XYZ"
X3xyz - current gamertage on LIVE. Changed it from "shivad33" because of an @sston of requests from my twitter page when i said i was on MW3.
finalb00st - the original old........OLD gamertag for PSN. I think I've been using this since 2005 on PS2. Used to be a big car man (not anymore) and was all about turbo...yeesh. Name stuck and just too lazy to change :)
-
My PSN name originated from my likeness of the Devil May Cry character, Vergil and his DarkSlayer style. Having played DMC 3: SE for years since its release, I've gotten really good with his gameplay and only have Dante Must Die to SS rank in completion. I added Trini because it will I'm proud of my nationality and the fact that I've yet to see anyone play DMC as good as I have.

Din know this thread was around nah lol.
When i first joined gatt i used firstname+lastname format lol, accustom using that when signing up for most things.
So how did i end up with my current name?
Well when i now join gatt, ah sweatty up d scene with ah beast machine that blow out everybody score. And certain men on here, cough, arcman, cough, captawesome, couhg couhg, and a few others, didnt believe meh lol. And wanted visual proof that the machine was indeed mines. Some serious validation checks was going on back in them days, things get rel lax now lol.
Anyways, i was required to take pictures of the rig, so as extra proof i write up meh name and the quote "believe in the messiah" on some computer page and stick it all over d machine / monitor. I then posted my photos.
Hell, look i just find said photos on meh gatt page:

...Memories, lol.
People start calling meh messiah and i guess it stick since then. My initials is MH, so i capitalize the MessiaH, and since messiah so common, had to add ah extra 'a' for most sites/games, so i end up with MessiaaH. I then started using the name for all gaming/tech oriented forums, and it became my tag for games as well, sc2, dirt, etc...

Well as a gamer of many games, I consider it a "special" trait for me. I even wowed a few of my cousins in playing certain games (by performs certain actions which is required, showing/improving my skills and adding more to my "Games Completed" list. I also do believe that we, as gamers, are all special in some way, don't you agree. Hence, with a passion for gaming, combined with respect, humility, love for other gamers alike (and others in general) and unity in doing what I and many others do best, by the grace of God, TheSpecialOne came into GATT's (and the world's) existence. Peace, love, unity, loyalty and respect all the way! :hello:

I came up with mine since 02, was feeling poetic and couldnt find a word that properly described the confusion i felt so i created one "PsiVal" - Psi to represent the logical thought of the mind and Val short for Valentine my birthday to represent the Heart and the illogical thought process. putting them together = Chaos or Harmony. So out of that i sued that as my callsign as when i entered a game (usually FPS at this time) i lived to screw with the enemy or cause Chaos and while playing game i was always at peace so it was my Harmony... It a Unique name that was never taken so i continued using it in most games i play.

WebDiva was a job title I had when I worked for an internet company in Seattle back in the day. It was printed on my business cards. I added the "trini" to distinguish myself from all the other webdivas out there.

Those who played any of the Megaman Battle Network games for GBA will know what I am talking about.

So I play this game called league of legends and back then my ping would round off to 999 on bad days and I had a previous gamertag called slimlix (still use from time to time), so, one day i'm stepping onto the battlefield after having a hard day at work and a beautiful break up and my net decides lets give him that 999 ping, i'm like wtf dan this is my reward for such a day PERFECT!!!! Back then BBM was the thing and my ex is pinging down my phone and after all the pings she types "so i have to ping you 1000 times to get a response" and from that day forward i was known as 1000ping
-
hmmmmm kinda tough. I think it came about when i was registering for my psn account and I always had stunnakid as a nickname and well i guess i just added tnt lol

My last name is Corbie and in school I was relatively big compared to my schoolmates so they used to refer to me as goonta therefore I came up with the gamertag Corbiegoonta.
