Protect children from "Safe Schools" social engineering. Shame!

I enjoy being a Lady Gaga on Steam, it's only rare that I will bump into another in any multiplayer game but any TF2 match that has all-talk on it ends up with both of us trying to out do each other. It's a lot of fun to do.

But if we're talking poo poo names then High School is where it was at. Angel O'Haven, Hellfire, ShotgunReaper, dongmaster696969, Hardballs (this guy actually had that name put on his year 12 jacket). I could go on but they were just variations of dongs and/or dragons.

I have my share of shame. I used to run semi-regularly with the handles PimpSlappa and MonkeyBooya. I also had the username DiablosMuerte... in Diablo. Ah, to be 12 again. :allears:

Probably the best username I saw requires a little backstory. Ragnarok Online accumulated a large population of Thai players. Out of this subset came the use of the word "jam" for kill-stealing or just unwanted team-ups on an enemy. You'd see someone start wailing on a little jelly blob and saying "no jam", often repeatedly.

At any rate, I was witness to a character named The_Jam wailing on a little jelly blob and yelling "NO ME!"

I'm aggressively wrong about everything!
I don't know about my favorite, but I'm gonna throw my old screenname into the pile. I was like, ten or something at the time, and was mentally pressed to come up with a name I thought was awesome.

The result: PanichurtzOmega. Eventually shortened to Panichurtz, I guess because eventually I realized that 'Omega' isn't quite as awesome as I thought it was. Normally I'd be embarassed by something like this, but I dunno, there's something perfect about it. Like, I don't think you can get more condensed ten-year-old into a name than PanichurtzOmega.

Names that reference any sort of sports fandom annoy the hell out of me. I'm not sure why, because I'm a sports fan myself, but nothing makes me rage harder than getting killed by hockeydude233 or YANKS_FAN_999.

Couldn't you contest it? I mean there shouldn't be anything wrong with homosexuality, right? RIGHT?

Also, Naruto is the new DBZ because I keep running into names like "NarutoHokage666" in most any game on the internet.

I remember a few years ago when I was into Demon's Souls, I got invaded by a player named ArtsAndLeisure. He wouldn't engage me directly, and always kept running away every time I saw him. I was looking for him in this shantytown, when he ended up dropping down behind me and killed me with one deft backstab.

To this day I imagine a svelte man in a smoking jacket sitting in a reading chair. Taking a sip from his glass of Pinot Noir, he chortled quietly to himself as he showed this bumbling Plebeian how a real gentleman engages in virtual combat, Chopin quietly playing in the background.

I remember playing Halo 2 with a guy named cancer and he made sure to point out how clever and hilarious his name was by saying "Ha hah you got killed by cancer!" or "Wow gamertag, you killed cancer!" and then proceeded to explain the "joke" to all us mere mortals. He did this constantly throughout the match, explanation and everything.

A buddy of mine used full-thickness rectal prolapse and other various prolapse based names as steam handles for a while. loving gold.

When Death Knights were first released in WoW you had 15 iterations of Arthasdklol or DeathArthas or Dkpwnarthas. And you bet they were the worst of the worst players imaginable.

That's my TF2 name, Pops up when I kill people.

I remember I've entered a server with two players, One was called "AbusiveHusband"
The other "AbusedWife" and they would scream at each other when they were playing in some kind of retarded roleplay, Those were honestly the dumbest ingame names I've ever seen.(except that whole "KungFuJesus" craze)

Someone already took Sephiroth Tuxedo Mask? Well just add an x on both sides, and no one will know the difference. In fact, unlike that rear end in a top hat who stole your totally original username, you now have some very stylish decorative borders to your name! Add some numbers in there for flavor.
