I wanted to start a thread about players nic names. Many players have different names and really dont use their real names when playing. Question: "What is the meaning behind your nic" Well i guess is should start it off first, since i made this thread. [glow=yellow,2,300]TRG3Frantic3[/glow] " TRG3" = This was an old nic that I had when I was still in the Marine Corps. Like I mentioned in the foto gallery post, in Saudi during "Operation Iraqi Freedom", our down time consisted of playing mohaa - medal of honor allied assault. It was kewl cuz they had the game on the network and everyone on base use to get on and play. Anyhow "TRG3" stands for " Tool Room God" I did not have my own office, so my command threw me in to the tool room. Hence tool room god - TRG. The #3 is just a favorite number that i like very much. " Frantic3" = Most of you will see me online with this nic (minus the TRG3). I only use TRG3 sometimes hoping that someone from back in the day will recognize the nic and know who i am. "Frantic" was a name that i used to have when i was younger. Back in the day when break-dance was popular, my brother and friends had our small crew (Madness Crew). My brother was call Madman, and i took Frantic. Many of our other crew members had names similar to the theme. "craziness" Again the #3 is just a favorite number that i like to use. The definition of Frantic: 1 a archaic : mentally deranged b : emotionally out of control <frantic with anger and frustration> 2 : marked by fast and nervous, disordered, or anxiety-driven activity <made a frantic search for the lost child> The nic is very similar to the "fogs of war" for you experienced military people. It just like on the battle field, whether it be real or online. lol In other words the nic is related directly to playing the game and what you experience when you play it! I think that my quote and the pic that represents it, fits quite well! Well, that is my explanation of my nic and why i use it. I hope that other members from AvP can express why they use the nics they have. You dont have to go into detail like i have, but if you can explain the main reason for deciding your nic, that would be kewl...! Until then, see you guys and ladies online...! 4 life..!

lol well my name comes from a metal band called "Hermetica" that i liked years ago, but they closed the band :/ Anyway i just added a "L" so it becomes a name for a character , i started to use this name on forums not related with gaming or things liek that, movies forums, websites about links and things liek that.. and well, the name Hermetical its a bit long name to say it all the time so the guys from the last forums i was (it was a site that collects cool links to other sites) they named me Herme part friendly part because my name was long for them.. with the time i left Hermetical and i changed to Herme, wich if i think about it it dosent really mean anything just a name that can only be used on the internet i guess.. Anyway i still remember my old name and i keep ir on my email! And even some spanish players still call me hermetikal but only a few Also the " ! " from my name lol, it comes from my good friend SUKE, who always adds ! at the end of the names, and when i went with him on wF clan i adopted it, before that i was just herme, not even the caps thing. RTCW its my second big game (first was MOHAA) apart from those i have played Half Life, Day of Defeat (1.6 and Source), XIII, Enemy Territory and others for short and mid terms and there i used the name ZaTo, wich comes from the movie "Zatoichi" the blind samurai, Movie from Takeshi Kitano, i love this japanese director he mainly makes movies about the Yakuza. Very violent movies, good stuff. thats it, nice post frantic.

Lol, you all have such storys ^^ First I was called "The Punisher", that goes back to a Online-RPG where you could get a special status called "The Punisher" Then, when I started playing I got accused of nametaking ( ) and when I got sick of everyone calling me names because I had the same name like another regular player I searched for another name The nic I choose was "Twister" I watched the movie and I thought it fits really good into ego-shooters. I also had bind for some time like: "T!M3 T0 TW!$T 4ROUND" or "Y0U G0T TW!$T3D" Then I added the Mr. which I took, because I got called "Mister" the first time in my life (must have been when I was 13 ^^)

lol I think you know what the both meanings in my name means... But i dont use it to show that I'm new to the game.. When i started playing on AvP 8 player dm server with cool names etc I got so popular for some people so i could never play how i wanted without be calling noob or something.. cause all expected I would "kick ass" but its a pretty long time ago now But i got tired of playing to sirious and so one day I only wrote this name at random and then I played like a "noob" most use flamer camped (don't camp anymore) and people didn't call me noob anymore then, even wrote like a noob just for fun wanted to look like my friend which english is bad.. But i think that more history than the meaning,.

PAINLESS, taken from the movie PREDATOR, this name is given to the venom-like machinegun, carried by the chewing and spitting big guy (former Navy Seal Jesse Ventura) ; nice phrase: If it bleeds, we can kill it.... Did you know this big guy was governor of Minnesota ? Some nice things about this movie: Arnold Schwarzenegger (who is now governor of California) is called "DUTCH" in this movie. He aint Dutch, I am.... ;D There was also a big guy called Sonny Landham who ran for governor of Kentucky in 2003. That would have made 3 governors from one movie, but he didn't make it (cause he did some pornmovies during the '70 s )

"If it bleeds, we can kill it.... "
reminds me of the street basketball phrase "no blood, no foul"
