Cute.

And I did this topic once. Here are some of the responses: http://forum.ea.com/eaforum/posts/list/9090301.page

Wow, that's an old thread. Some people showing their age! (Forum age that is). Well I wasn't around them, and coincidentally I've just explained my user name on another thread, so I'll do it again here.

The 68k part of my name is short for 68000, being the processor in the Commodore Amiga and Sega Genesis/Megadrive systems. I used to develop games for them many years ago, and recognise the Motorola 68000 as being great fun to work with. Coming from Z80 and 6502 coding, it was like going from a Kindle to an iPad. Now how geeky do I sound now?

Aaaah Commodore Amiga, those were the days! When men were men and games came on 5 floppies!

I miss the guru meditations!

I was a turret gunner in a HMMWV (humvee) during OIF.
We patrolled Bayji, Iraq so that is why I picked Bayji_Gunner.

MossB500 · December 14, 2012 7:16PM

Because I'm a proud owner of a Mossberg 500 shotgun. It's also my SN for PS3 and Madden 13, just being consistent.

I was conned

After entering my email address it decided on my username and before I could read properly I clicked ok.

Well maybe I wasn't conned, maybe I'm just too damn impatient.

evilashhhh96 · December 14, 2012 7:25PM

Evilashhhh96: Mine is from the character evil ash from the movie evil dead 3: army of darkness, hold over from old yahoo accounts etc. and it just kinda stuck, the extra hhh is because years ago when I wanted it I had to add them to the end. The 96 is because my wifes brother races a Sprint Car and that is his car's number

kevingibbons · December 14, 2012 7:25PM

Ditto. Serves me right for not reading.

I usually go by Lamson, which I understand means total victory in Vietnamese.

Gocatters

Showing my support for the Australian rules football team the Geelong Cats!

zuzupj · December 14, 2012 8:02PM

I like the name zuzu.

morganbaby1016 · December 14, 2012 8:11PM

My daughter is Morgan- hence my "Morganbaby" part, the numbers are her birthday. I usually use that username for most everything, if its available.

wtfchef13 · December 14, 2012 8:23PM

It became a salutation between myself and fellow chefs when I worked at a catering company a few years ago. When answering each others phone calls, sending texts or just a bewilderment of **** are you doing, chef? 13 is there for aesthetic beauty.

HammyBaconTime · December 14, 2012 8:26PM

EA wanted me to choose a name when burnout paradise came out. I needed one that nobody chose. Most if my gaming names are food related. I'm a professional Chef.

This is my boom stick!

I love Army of Darkness.

ur_wack452 · December 14, 2012 8:29PM

Ur_wack452 comes from when I began in law enforcement almost 8 years ago. I would go on my patrol in the gang infested streets of Newburgh and Middletown, NY. After arresting someone and during the booking process I was told numerous times "N-word your a$$ is wack" so hence the name ur_wack. The 452 is my shield number. Thats the origin of mine

Simpsons00001 · December 14, 2012 8:30PM

i regret this crappy user name and I'm too afraid to change it...scared poo-less my city will vanish

xrobotlove · December 14, 2012 8:32PM

I've had many usernames but I've been using xrobotlove for years and I now use it exclusively. It comes from livejournal days, my entire journal or I guess what would be a blog now was designed with love robots. Because I love robots. I draw them all the time, boxy ones with cutesy hearts holding hands. Somewhat an homage to explodingdog.com which has amazing robot and stick figure artwork. (People email the artist titles and he draws pictures accordingly, and they're each titled the persons submission.)
Robot love also comes from the joy I get when I google image the words "robot love":

That's pretty much the style that I draw in.

And the x is just, ya know. I always put an x in my usernames.
