    When I used to play Goldeneye on the N64 the AK47 was my favourite gun lol.

    My online persona had been PixieBoots since about 1999, which came about because of my obsession with boots and a childhood nickname... It became way too popular and overused as a nickname by others, so I modified it to Pixxa or Pixxxa about 8 or 9 years ago for gaming. Also now starting to get over used by others. I have a huge list of nicknames I used to have in a virtual community way back when lol...

    When I got my first email account back in 19?? I used swimswithsharks and used that handle for years. That name came from an article in a Scuba mag about the Shark Rodeo on Walkers Cay which is a dream vacation for me. Eventually I changed email providers and got tired of typing out swimswithsharks so when I set up my new email, I shortened it to swmwshrk. Been using that for the better part longer than I want to admit.

    Lol, it makes so much sense when I explain it though hey? I was really surprised at how many variations of this name were taken. JK47, JK-47, JK--47, JK_47, JayKay47, the list goes on and on. Just another reason why I wish I downloaded this game earlier lol.

    I spent 7 years in the Infantry and hunting enemy snipers was one of the most satisfying things I ever did.

    I started online/forum gaming in the FPS realm and it was game appropriate. I used to separate the two words but so many sites only allow one word user names so I combined them and don't even bother trying them separate anymore.

    For continuity purposes I started using it for all games.

    The 67 denoted my year of birth and was only added to this account because I had problems getting into my original EA account. (Origin/EA merge issue?, idk).



    Btw- some people take my avatar the wrong way and think I'm mean or take everything I say as negative simply due to the avatar. (I kid you not)

    For the record, the Sgt Rock avi is simply a representation of how I feel physically.

    I gave up my body to my country & as a result I have been run thru the ringer so to speak. I am 45 but my body is that of a 65 year old man.

    The sgt rock pic totally incapsulates that for me and in no way reflects my overall demeanor.

    Absolutely amazing. I can't speak for everyone, but thank you for your service. It's people like you who are responsible for people like me even having the freedom to post on a forum or do any of the other things I do on a daily basis. You're a true hero buddy. Love the avatar too.

    Thank you kindly, though I'm no hero. I simply did my duty.

    Appreciate the sentiments just the same. 8)

    My girlfriend was playing TSTO for months. I always felt a bit as an outsider to her much cared for Springfield city ... So I reinstated my old iPhone (as this was before the time TSTO was also for android phones) and sent her a friends request. As her user name means "small lynx", i chose the user name "small wolf", followed by her street number. It was quite funny as she didnt know I had an old iPhone. So she didnt really know what to think about that new "friend" called "woelfli304". :D I told her later and since then we're playing TSTO together ... :)

    As a kid I was always extremely fascinated with the Nimitz class carriers. The enormous size and strategical advancement these carriers have is unparalleled. I shortened the name to Nimz.

    Name is Mae. Originally wanted my usual user name velvet but it was taken.

    Wanted aMAEzing - it was taken
    Wanted MAEstro - it was taken
    Used my actual full length name - it was taken

    Got really frustrated, went through countless iterations and finally landed with maegnificent.
