Anyone who has seen me play ANY shooting game will know *exactly* where I get my nickname from!

Yay! I've managed to stress words in all three, nay, four standard ways within a _single_ post! Make that... five!

You need to get one, then.
How can you come on here with your own name?

True enough Face... although it is rather damp as well.

Perhaps I should be called Moistnation?

LOL, pailhead You couldn't be that ugly!!

Anyway, I do actually have other nicks besides Zack. I've been trying to get my buds to call me Skippy in real life, after both the Quake guy (where he got that name I have no clue) and my own character in another chat room

And bedlam got his name after hanging out on EfNet too long.

I think he was drunk and was making a doom map when he came up with it.
I mean, where else could you get such a inventive and creative name? (just kidding buddy!)

I wonder what would have happened if I took the name Doom_Dude first, and he'd have to come up with another? :P

Hey, where is Doom_Dude anyway? I haven't seen him lately.

Poor Tails thought he was mature enough for some Doomin'...

...after encountering that first imp, he must have changed his mind.

`Jon the Frad' is pretty clear, so instead I'll explain my DM name- [CIC]Ns-Teppic. CIC is my (oldish) TFC clan that I started up a while ago and is apparently doing very well in my absence. Ns stands for `NeoStoic', the screen name of a good friend of mine who played Halflife DM a lot, and killed himself. Teppic is from a Terry Pratchett novel.

The only thing that i can think of, as in how i got my nickname, is probably seeing a bit of wood by my computer it happened to be a 2x4.

Otherwise i wouldnt have a clue how i got it

My first nick was and still is Pittfiend. When I joined newdoom, I thought that a different, more Doomy, type of name would work ok. As I was filling in the registration jobby, I just instantly thought up Doom_Dude and without a second thought, I submitted the thing and here I be.

If for some weird reason, the name was already taken....I could very well have used something different

I had the opposite situation.
I wanted a handle that would be unique, but others had, like Destroyer, Death, The Undertaker, Grim Reaper. Too many ideas, too many people already had.

I just signed off messages as "Resident Expert of Leominster", then got tired of typing all that, and the REoL acronym was born.

Oddly enough, if you enter "REoL" into a search engine, you'd also get "Real Estate of Leominster", but I had the acronym first (They started in mid 1994, and I had it since December 1992).
