  • how did you choose your username

    Tell the "story" of your username.

    My story is not very entertaining. My nickname, for practically all of my life, has been Gypsy. My gamer name is generally One.Mad.Gypsy. Through a QuakeOne sign-up fail, I ended up MadGypsy.


    What's your story?

    Striker came as a nick name from my bowling days. I bowled in league from age 5-18. By time i turned 18 ive done won 2 state tournaments, placed in top 5 in 8 of 10 state tournaments with over 30,000 competitors in each tournament. 'YABA' young american bowling alliance. Also by time i was 18 ive rolled 11 300 games 1 899 series and had high hopes of going professional with my 221 avg. instead i fell in love, quit bowling and enjoyed women. Thats how i got my nickname striker which is my original game name. Now i got wicked lord on the fly! When i reinstalled quake in november last year i wanted to come back unknown to everyone, so i was just looking around seen the words wicked & lord on FB all in one post but seperate sentences and i stole it from there. TADA!

      I used a different name every week and then Slot Zero asked me to register in his forum.

      Initially, I had no intention of that being my permanent name. I still changed my name every week. None the less, it was decided I am "Baker". And no rhyme or reason behind the name, I usually picked some nondescript name to play under. I never used it on servers except that one week.

      So funny about how some name you may decide to use on some given day determines "your name". If someone were to yell my username in real life, I would turn around and think they were talking to me.

      So while you guys all have to fight your anti-matter counterparts, me and my evil twin will be drinking a beer laughing at you guys ...

        Ever since day 1 of Quake, I have occupied the name MindfieldzX or MindzX for a shortened version. I affectionately became known as 'Mindzy' .

                    My Name is grave_digga because back in the day as we started playing LAN Games (Doom 2...) i had no real nickname. I switched them often and don't really liked them. Once my friend said "your hands are as big as the shovel of a gravedigger". You know how it ended...

                      It's my initials. Boring, but I've used it since I was 5 or thereabouts and people call me it in real life, so why not?

                            Derived from the word Phenomena/Phenomenal meant to explain some of the shit I do in-game usually while not lagging.

                              This is one of my 4 main aliases. I use this one primarily for the creative side of gaming, e.g. mods and videos.

                              If you ever come across someone by the name of Asinausk in a server (counter-strike, bfbc2, ut3, tribes, quake, doom, doom3, sc2, wow, guild wars 2, serious sam, etc.) say hey.
