Crendowing Posted April 17, 2002 Not another thread like this.... Anyway, I said how I got my name a long time ago, but I'll give you the brief version: The "Crendo" came from a line in Star Trek IV, and the "wing" came from the fact that I like planes and such (hell, both my parents were in the Air Force :) 0 Share this post Link to post

Biffy Posted April 17, 2002 Hey Fodders, when I mentioned a guy named "FOD" to someone who goes by "Freshmeat" or "Infidel" on Zdaemon, he said, "Oh, I know what that name means, don't you?" No, I didn't, and he said, "It stands for Foreign Object Damage", a term applied to aircraft/runways for one. Guess he was wrong? :) My nick, Biff, is a joke started by the captain of a softball team I played on. A joke because of how "un Biff like" I am in reality..5'9" and 136 lb. Hahahaha. Only good thing about it is that I weighed that at 20 and still do at 54. Could see well at 20, not any more. Had lots of hair, not any more. Oh well.... 0 Share this post Link to post
deep Posted April 17, 2002 Biffy said:Had lots of hair, not any more. Oh well.... Well that explains it, all that poundage from the hair made up for other areas:) FOD is Foreign Object Damage - an old term in the aircraft industry. 0 Share this post Link to post
Amaster Posted April 17, 2002 About seven years ago I made my first email account. I wanted a name that would be memorable. At about that time I had seen the episode of Seinfeld involving the "Assman" license plate. And so Assmaster was just sort born. Over the years, many other people have begun using that name online. So when its not available, I use "Turdstorm". 0 Share this post Link to post
Darkstalker Posted April 17, 2002 I took my nick by playing Secret of Mana near the end when you see Emperor Vandole and his three henchman : Thanatos, a red hair dude and a guy that the girl say that he's the Darkstalker. It just came like that when I created my 1st email account and it went right to my head. 0 Share this post Link to post

Biffy Posted April 18, 2002 Well guess what, I met Rich Sham on zdoom forums recently, he's the guy who made tripwire.wad some weeks back. Rich is 63! He's not much into DM, can't stand all of the foul-mouthed brats online he says! That'd be none of you all, I'm sure. Rich came and played at rarefiles a bit, then went back to solo play. 0 Share this post Link to post

As for my name, well, thats from being lazy on my old Sega Megadrive (or Genesis). In about every game your name was 'player 1' and since gamepads dont have letters on them, i'd go to the p and change it to an s. Back then I did not know anything about the band 'Slayer', and just recently I've heard their stuff and started to like some of it... 0 Share this post Link to post

EllipsusD Posted April 18, 2002 Ellipsus is the name of a character I created back in 8th grade... a very long while ago... if I ever get around to not being lazy and worthless (fat chance) I'll start working on the webcomic that has him as a character. D is short for my first name, and I use it just because Ellipsus alone is usually taken. 0 Share this post Link to post

will Posted April 18, 2002 About seven years ago I made my first email account. I wanted a name that would be memorable. At about that time I had seen the episode of Seinfeld involving the "Assman" license plate. Hehe, serveral years ago when i first started playin quakeworld I used the handle "Assman" after i saw that seinfeld episode.. It was even the first nick i ever played with on doomserv. I continued to use Assman as my nick until around the time of csdoom v.62 when I got into a flame war on the old csdoom forum with K3W and i found out just how many gay references could be made from that.. after that i started just using my real name 'will'. And for the past year and a half I've been using the nick "bluntman" 'cause i enjoy smoking blunts and because of my favorite director 'kevin smith'.. 0 Share this post Link to post
