    If you use the "post reply" button rather than the quick reply box, there are options for changing the font, as well as its size and colour.

    My last name is Trexler and everyone at work calls me T-Rex which is using the first 4 letters of my last name. Since then, I've used this user name for everything.

    Latin

    Neo = New
    Nemesis = enemy

    I just thought it sounded cool to use for games and I figured I would use it here. But I wish I had chosen to use my other screenname (Evilelf), which I use for almost everything else.

    Do you know if this song you talk of came on the same album as tainted love? I think I have the tape of it somewhere.....

    Tainted Love was released on a few albums, I think the only one Sex dwarf was on was Non-Stop Erotic Cabaret

    Yeah remember the group well, seen them in concert a couple of times in the 80s.... still have alot of their records..... including Non Stop Ecstatic Dancing ( includes remix of Sex Dwarf ) and a rare mix of Hendrix Medley tunes, also think in the UK "say hello wave goodbye" was near top of charts.


    My nick came from having brain fade one day trying to think of what to use on a forum.. was listening to a NIN cd and just picked the catalogue name of Halo ( I know they all have numbers eg. Halo Six = BrokenEP ) just sounded good and was picked before the game even appeared, so if you thought it was named after that sadly you would be mistaken ;)

    as its pretty common these days, I sometime need to sign up to forums with one of two other nicks I use.....

    †T-Rex † Specialist

    Yep, I've heard that a few times. Bang a gong! Get it on! They used to call me T-Rex in high school and college too, but more so they called me Lars because they said I look like Lars Ulrich from Metallica.

    Made an error in my mental metric conversion. It should have read 200 pounds (not 220). Anyone know how to put on 25-30 pounds without having to eat junk food? Bazza

  44. Fraunzonk

    Fraunzonk Private First Class

    I was mistaken...

    Anywho, I had some kids at my school who made up a language called "Onz" in which they would put "onz" between every syllable of words or something like that. I never quite caught on. Anyway, my name, Frank, became Fronzonk. After that I changed the spelling a little. I've found it to be quite unique and so I can use it on just about every site I'm on.

  46. Gottheit

    Gottheit General Logic

    Lots of German studying and German dictionary reading lent to my nick. Of all the german nouns and adjectives I had read, memorized, and forgotten, this was one that stuck with me because it kicks an insane amount of ass. Some people translate it literally as "God-like" but I prefer the more down-played definition of "divinity." Similar in denotation, no doubt, but the connotation is what makes the difference. I dare not claim to be God-like.

    An interesting note: MajorGeeks.com was the first place I used Gottheit as my nick. It was the first forum I'd joined since ars technica, and it also holds significant meaning to me because I joined right when I got in college. That was almost 3 years ago.

    My...how the time flies.
