Awwww when you give your name a meaning it makes it less fun to misspell accidentally-on-purpose

I wish Tim & Eric brought TGTTM back.
Ahora entiendo todo ! time to join forces my spanish speaking brother !
look at you guys with your histories and origins, warms my heart.
I got my name from an AvP comic. It was unique enough that I never had to number it, so it kept.
It changed to cabbeh for a clan I was in for HL, where everyone had eh at the end of their name.
I frequent between the two nowadays.

What about the "*" are you a star ? do you like stars ? Do you live with a star ?
But that was the best bit! (Wasn't it Kark though?)
oh shit , yes it was indeed Kark
He had a different avatar at that time, that cheecky bastard!Yeah it's a ps4 only feature right now.
Back in the Xbox/PS2 era, I got really frustrated with gaming. I felt like none of the games I played were nearly as good as the games I'd played as a kid.* (Mario, Zelda, etc.) So started going by RetroGamer, adding in a 42 (answer to life, the universe, and everything,) where needed.
When I set up my PSN and Xbox accounts, I thought RetroGamer was too long. I was trying to start my own gaming site called Midnight Gamer, (which at that time was an awful webcomic,) so I made my name RetroMG.
I kept RetroGamer42 through my first Mafia game, but changed it to RetroMG in order to make it easier for both Mafia players, (most of whom just called me Retro anyway,) and for setting up groups in Destiny. (Sure, I'll run Crota. PSN is same as my GAF name.)
*I don't feel this way anymore.
Are you only on Vita? I'll shoot you an invite and we'll see if that helps.

I think mine is obvious.

Exactly.
So your name is based on the final boss of a game being spelled terribly, and you complain that we always spell your name wrong? Hmmmmmmmm......
My thoughts exactly, technically he's the one spelling it wrong and us good samaritans are just trying to correct his mistake
I enhanced it. You could learn to spell the name.
Says the one with an asterisk in his name.

No changes were made, I just needed enforce how much I was shaking my head.
Terrabyte20xx
Junior Wrestlemania XXX Champion
So it WAS a bionicle thing! I always wondered...
Edit: The origin of my name is pretty what you see is what you get, misspelled terabyte, but I actually liked how it looked and that it could be shortened to Terra, so I kept ever since. Th e 20xx thing is a Megaman shout out.
I'm a Dolphins fan, I hate new england regardless of current news.

Welp, it's kind of obvious, isn't it? We used to play poker (for fun, no stakes) in school; I started using the name after I got a Royal Flush once.

I was an angsty high school kid full of himself.
Back in ye olden days of Neopets some friends and I would try our hardest to misspell Sonic while having it still sound the same. Couple of back and forths and one of my friends won with 'Sawneek' and it turned into an inside joke for a while. Years later I needed a name for a new website we were all migrating to and someone brought up 'Sawneek' so I slapped an s on the end and it's just kind of stuck ever since.

I wanted to make a username around my middle name but make it sound more hype.
PSN is CharlesTouchDown (VITA&PS3) and I might have a new gamertag soon when I start MGSV.
Steam id is the same as my username.

I don't think my name has anything to do with the similarly named comic strip.
When I was young, my father invented nicknames for my brother and me. I slightly changed mine once I discovered the comic strip, though his has always been the same. So Zippy the Pinhead became Zippedpinhead.
I also have an alliterative "A" name, so having a nickname with a "Z" always was fun.
Feel free to add me on PSN, same name there as here.

I've often thought about going from my Android to an iPhone, mostly because it seems like iPhone gets better gaming apps. Good to hear your thoughts on it.
I mostly haven't so far because I have a great app that automates changing the settings on my phone based on different criteria, (like automatically silencing the ringer when I arrive at work, as an example,) and I don't think the iphone has something like that.
I love the customability Android provides and i feel very restricted with IOS.
No offense to those that use an iphone but i think that is personal preference.
I am still unsure on what phone i am getting next since there are a lot of fine phones out there.
no Nexus 5x or 6p for me though since google wants to fuck us europeans big time
Kind of in the same boat as you. My galaxy S III is starting to act up, the battery is shit now and he is no longer being updated. So I am looking for a new phone, but damn those nexus prices here in Europe
