And I was playing multiplayer Queck and I wanted another nickname than "player" and this was the first that came to mind.
I still use it to this day. :3 I play trombone.
bite is an alliteration to make it sound catchy. I use brassbite only for this forum. Interesting! I didn't know you played trombone.
Do you usually play jazz or classical? (or perhaps something else like ska or reggae?) My used name is HexenMapper because I did a bunch of mapping for Hexen. I made a 15 map Hexen mod called "a Morte". It got mixed reviews... 20 years ago I got my first real taste of multiplayer gaming in Quake. I was going under the name "Dr Death PhD", but was devastated to find someone else with exactly the same name on the same server! So I switched to a name that embodied the attributes I hoped to display as a quake player. I'm not sure I ever managed to live up to the name, except when playing against my girlfriend.
ds are my initials, I added them because dumptruck is used already on Xbox Live, PSN and message boards.
I don't tell people the thru origin of "dumptruck" - it's not that exciting but not something I like to share. My previous nick was "whitejazz" but haven't used that since 1998. My previous nicks were enliten (or n-li-10) and reiki.
Both of which I found really wanky. So I decided to think of what I like, turns out I like space and quake. So I combined Astronaut and Shambler. It works a little better in an Aussie accent because the "o" in astronaut becomes more like an "a" (astra-naut). Similar to the way the Aussie accent messes with the "er" in shambler making it an "uh" sound, (sham-bluh). In my accent it sounds like sham-blah-naut. ...was a name for a character in an iain m. banks science fiction book called 'excession'.
i latched onto the 'frag' thang for obvious quake reasons. apart from that, what else could it be twisted to mean? low fragmentary traffic? I think I was subconsciously inspired by Deus Ex: Human Revolution and the character Frank Pritchard (who is a total prick), or more accurately a trailer for that game as I picked up the name a little while before the game came out.
It's a reasonably unique name and certainly better than any of the ones I had before it, even if it is "supposed" to be a family name rather than a given one. I used to play CTF on pub servers as R00k1e then I got better, and dropped the 1E.
Though I had used names like deepfriednewbie, def1ance,and madcow, yet I think my 1st quake name was UnknownQsoldier after the comic UknownSoldier. Blood will follow blood...
Dying time is here... Damage, Incorporated Q3A nick I used "back in the day". a mugwump is a strange and drug-addled creature which dwells in the bars of the Interzone. I am a strange creature and I only do pot, but I like it a lot!
Over 20 years ago, amalgamation of Killer and Kills. Also lets have a bout of the "killies" aka frag the shit out of some people.
A constructed (industrial) message embedded in the natural cry of an organic being...ooh that distrans is so 1980s: http://www.australiangothicindustrialmusic.com/bands/soulscraper-band-music-songs-videos.html
...that would've been cool, but no, much simpler http://www.literature-dictionary.org/Dune-Dictionary/distrans
I missed that... Should have known but it's been a while since I've read the book.
that wasn't me
I'll explain the whole "Clench Throckmorton" thing sometime, but I'm too knackered right now, and anyway it's a long story, which, in the immortal words of Fermat, this margin is too narrow to contain
