What inspired your gaming handle/tag? #1

Mine's from an old Flash game called Run Man. Where did yours come from?

Couldn't think of anything so I went with a profane pun. I need a new one.

Is it possible to get a name change on GAF?

And I was trying to sign up for an AIM name and everything I tried was taken and no I do NOT want to be named JohnDoe46211. Thought up a name that I knew no other person in the world would ever use.

Because I've had a gotee since '95 or '96. I threw a 12 on it so that it (hopefully) wouldn't be taken. The only place I'm not gotee12 is Xbox Live where I did score gotee all those many years ago.

And yes, I know that it's actually spelled "goatee". I have no proclivities towards goats though...

Back when I was probably 12-13 (around the time Halo 2 came out) I made an XBL account named Fatal Blast. I changed it to the Perfect Chaos moniker probably 3-4 years ago. Looking back, Fatal Blast was really stupid.

From the first Naruto RPG for GBA.

Tenten's my favourite character from the series because of her huge collection of weapons so while playing it I noticed they called her attack "Anki Rendan". At the time the common translation for Rendan was Combo, so "Ninja Tool Combo" sounded really cool to me. Nowadays it's more like a Barrage, which sounds just as good. It's the only screen name that isn't really used elsewhere, so I stick with it.

My GAF name is just my name.

My PSN name is what I came up with freshman year, and my Xbox Live name is an inside joke on that name. Really wish I could change my PSN name without losing everything.

My two favorite Ranma 1/2 characters were Kunou and Nabiki. Back during the early days of the internet when I was getting my first ever email I decided to use Kunou for address. Couldn't find one that was open so I tried Nabiki and had the same problem. I combined them and the rest is easy.

I also use Dr Butcher MD and a few variations such as Dr. Butcher HD or Dr. Butcher 3D. I got that one from an old zombie movie.

GAF: The first 2 letters of my name (fe), last name (ro) (and second last name -ca-)...but with a typo. (that 'n' in the middle wasn't supposed to go there, couldn't login years ago at first because of that). :p


Xbox 360: My name, but with a letter changed to imply another meaning.

"Ship the cheese, son!" was a taunt used by some professional Street Fighter player during a stream me and my roommate were watching. It kinda' stuck with us ever since, and there ya go.

Plus I'm Dutch. Cheese and stuff.

edit: my xbox and ps3 tag is just my name. I'm usually pretty horrible thinking of a username that doesn't sound completely idiotic. You know, like my GAF-name

My dad got me a Nintendo 64 with Turok: Dinosaur Hunter back in Christmas of 1997. I wanted Super Mario 64, but Turok blew me the fuck away. Ever since then, I've loved the whole Turok IP, ranging from the old Son of Stone comics to the 2008 video game. Seemed like the go-to name to use.

My Steam ID (The Benefactor) was inspired by Half Life. G-Man always talking about his employers, and I just took them as people who paid him or something.

Long story short... I do a lot of goofy nerdy shit and back in and around 2000... I used to write in "e-feds" where we wrote roleplays as professional wrestlers. My character at the time was name Ebola Zaire. Then one of the others guys who wrote characters, his name was "Gary Staples" was joking with me on AOL messenger (god that seemed like a lifetime ago) called my character DaEbo... and I actually liked it and it stuck.

I've named everything I possibly can DaEbo. Meh.
