Milt is my nickname.
Back in the early 90s I started playing in a punkrock band with a bunch of guys that were outside my childhood group.
They all had nicknames as they were old friends and one guy said "Hey you don't have a nickname. You're like Milton the monster from the Milton the monster show."
It stuck. Most of my friends call me that.
72 was added because of year born.

Well first I tried to make my "pilot" name Pilot Episode, but that was taken so... S1E1.

I was looking for a name, and having witnessed my two-year old saying 'no pain' after a fall on one of his running attempts, decided to pick this as a pilot name only to find out it was already picked. Then, I added my year of birth after 'no pain'. This is how 'no pain 80' was born. My forum name is different, but my avatar reflects my pilot name. Pain out

Back around 1990ish I created a character for a Mechwarrior RPG character, Alvin "Kamikaze" Johnson, so named because of his recklessly aggressive style.
Fast forward to PC gaming, trying to find player names not already taken...KJ has never failed me yet!

Yep. Same here. Well actually thats only half the reason. The other half was much more of a trendy reason. So I play a game called dragon city, and I named myself savage, so I turned it into a trend and named myself savage 2 in this game. My next username fo another game is going to be savage 3, because thats the trend I have for myself.

This is a great thread BTW. Thanks man. Been thinking on it for a while. But was on my “break”. So I had to wait. I was genuinely curious how some of us got the names. Cool stories. And I thank everyone for responding.

I didn’t have a gamer name when War Robots prompted me for one and wanted something cool and futurey. Well, that’s science, so I went through sub-atomic particles and settled on a new kind of hadron that pulses. That name, created on a whim, is now used for all games. Except for Sky where you don’t actually name yourself but you name other players. A few days ago I asked my oldest and best Sky friend what name they had me as and they said Valorie. Oh that’s weird, a feminine name when I’m an old dude. But it has ‘valor’ and evocative of Valkyrie so I went with it and have a second game name. Another random whim.

I’m always a sniper on video games. Even if I try to learn something else, I always end up with the sniper rifle. I tried get rid of the name a few times, but it always sticks. Can’t run away from who you are I guess.

This is a sebenza 21. A s35vn blade, titanium handle, gabbon ebony wood inlays. A construction that is perfection, perfect blade centering, excellent lock up with a satisfying clunk as it locks in place. Shaving sharp and easy to keep that way. Bought by me in January 2017 just a few weeks before I started playing this game. It's still one of my favorite pocket knives. It still makes it into my pocket as my daily carry on a regular basis. Not today though, today I'm carrying an old GEC cap lifter. A Chris Reeve knife, nice!

My son started play War Robots, and he used the name "cookie" (don't ask me why, he was only 7 at the time). I watched him play and thought that it looked like a cool game, let's give it a try. Never ever expected that I would keep on playing War Robots. Anyway.. he is "cookie" I am his Dad... so makes sense right.

My current in-game name violates the CoC of the forum, so I can't post it here, sadly. It's something about making love to a certain game from a certain company.
My forum name originates from playing Quake 3 Arena in some European league back in 1999 or so. We were called the Cyberkillers, hence the [CK], and erazor because I was a god with the rail gun and I like movies with Schwarzenegger(even the bad ones*), so, yeah. Pretty lame, but I stuck with it through the years in every multi player game I ever played.

Greetings, fellow VH fan! I used to have a '70 Mustang with the vanity tag "HT4TCHR" both in honor of the great song as well as my future wife (who was a very cute teacher).
As for my name, when I began my foray into mobile gaming, I figured (correctly) that I'd be mighty lousy at it. Rather than try to use a handle sounding all malevolent and scary, I decided I might as well make people laugh instead. Thus: Poopface

Old? I got 20 years on both of ya. Damn, you've even got 8 years on me. Though I did get to watch the moon landing so that's something... Which makes us roughly the same age. These younger kids probably say "what moon landing?" Anyhoo. My name is my initials. Sometimes I will use AVC007 if the straight AVC is taken, being a big time Bond fan.
