Explain your Screen name

Since I couldn't think of a screen name right now, I decided to go with this as a reference to my favorite TV show, Lost!

The picture is Desmond on a helicopter I got from the web. (Not) Penny's boat is also in that image...

 

But this nick will probably change when I do get to pick a real screen name... or maybe it'll stick, who knows...

Huh, I never posted in here. Probably because the story is so mundane. And I'm not sure if I actually like this name that much but it'd be a fucking Universe of bother trying to change it at this point. I must have been 11-12 when I chose the name.

 

I thought of Kenshi, and couldn't remember what it came from. So I went with that. It does for a few things like Steam, but often it's taken, so I need another part. It was a couple of years later that I remembered Kenshi is the blind samurai from Mortal Kombat. Not even a fan of the series.

 

Ryden is (believe it or not) a Scottish letting agency. I see their property signs all over town.

 

So I went with Kenshi Ryden. It sounds more Japanese than I'd like, and I chose it just before "Raidengate" in MGS2; so I took quite a bit of shit for that.

 

But people seem to remember it, so hey, all fruit's ripe.

oooh forgot to post here again since I changed my name!

 

elev3n is for the awesome 11th Doctor! Been trying to find a username that could stick, and I think this could be it! I get bored with all the other names I've used in the past.

 

Maybe it will change if the 12th is even better!

It was assigned to be based on a permutation of three pieces of information about me. It's also unique, in that I'd never seen anyone else use it before I started using it (although, sure enough, there are a few "peteer01" accounts I've seen that are not me today...) so when I started making account names after the first time I realized that a famous fictional character's name just might have been used by another human on the internet, I decided to start using peteer01 for everything. It works pretty well. :-)

Never realized I didn't do one of these for this name. Basically I changed my name back when JesusChrist was being harassed in Kotaku due to their brilliant idea to show my real name and facebook picture.

 

So I changed it to Waldorf and Statler as one of the gimmicks I enjoyed doing in Kotaku was making fun of people with them.

Before,forums, blogs, and such i would use bs names like squall999 or mariomasterultimate, for gamefaqs =P

then after years of not signing up for any page I played my first sengoku basara game or better known as Devil Kings, the character Scorpio

cracked me up, and turned into a all time favorite character in videogames.

 

I got so obsessed with the name that later when FFXI launched i joined as Scorpio but the name was taken, so effectiviely i added Fire to the scorpio

and i've been using that forever now.

My name is pretty self-explanatory, though there is a joke behind it.

 

I made the name back in the Halo 2 days and back then, I was quite bad at it. My friends used to joke that I was "a living target" so I decided to go with it. However, the typing on gamepad isn't fun. I entered the name and we started playing Tower of Power when my friend realized that he was killing "LivingTaget". A roar errupted from the other TV when he said "WHO THE HELL IS LIVING TAGET?!?!?!" to which our team a looked at each other and broke up laughing ourselves. After that whenever I use the screen name "LivingTarget" all my friends from the other night still call me "LivingTaget".

 

....

Don't you dare try it.

That's pretty hilarious!

 

I'm pretty bad at shooters. I'd piss my friends off by throwing a stick on my feet as they'd get close to me.

 

Of course...that just turn them into snipers.
