Game name

teganthevegan · 8 days

Whenever I sign up for something and can't get the name I want, I always search for them once I have an account to see if they even still use the fucker anymore.

I hope that I may some day meet the original.

Reminds me of the guy who sold the Original "Hitman" Gamertag on xbox live for $600

TomVinPrice · 8 days

I used to know a guy who would make loads of WoW characters with names he thought were cool so no one else could have them, he never used them.

Bobloblawlawbomb · 8 days

Them: Hi, my name is "xxXCa$h_n_Ha$hXxx", what's yours?

Me: "Ranguvar Foeseeker."

Them: Noob.

Self Rant:

13 yrs ago I took a latin dictionary and the name still stands. "Without King"

Cept this one weird violinist (who emerged 3 yrs ago) has my name Sine Rex, but that's no matter since she/he has some talent.

I subbed the domain name to seal the deal and keep my handle!

But then a Penis pill bought my google search word so... yeah fuck it I cant win.

(To hell with you sinrex, I am waiting for the day you guys run out out of supply so I can buy your domain)

Edit: Just reported his break.com video's but it seems I won back #1 on the search term. He still has Adwords associated though. =(

I am Naruto on deviantart.com and EVERYDAY I get 10~15 message requests to change my password, because kids keep trying to hack my account. Its not easy being orange.

ProperGentlemanDolan · 8 days

I got Guild Wars 2 yesterday. Names I tried that were already taken:

Descartes
Rene Descartes
Jesus
Moses
Socrates
Aristotle
Plato
Augustine
Saint Augustine
De Selby
Machiavelli
Voltaire
Nietzsche
Sartre
Camus

Out of frustration, I also tried Jesus Fucking Christ, but it only allowed enough characters for Jesus Fucking Chris, which was funny but I just assumed it wouldn't be allowed. Also, curiously, Siddhartha wasn't allowed as it was 'inappropriate'. Go figure.

Wille304 · 8 days

Reminds me of when i signed up to reddit:

"Wille...No...

Wille1... No....

Wille2...no...

Wille3...nope...

Wille4...This is going to be a long day..."

Edit: Crap I've been discovered!

(Thanks for the laughs guys; but now my pretend nightmare will be real for someone else. Sorry future Wille's!)

SuperLink243 · 8 days

But... I chose the number on my username intentionally!

vorpalsword92 · 8 days

a lurker is the reason why I had to put a stupid 92 at the end of my name

Fancer · 8 days

Just choose a word that's not really a word. Worked for me.

JonesBee · 8 days

God dammit I had my 'original' name on Xbox live when it first came out, but then I sold my Xbox and years later didn't remember the email or the password I used. It's gone.

Yogpod · 8 days

I remember when I registrered for SA in 2007. It had been a community since 2000 so most names were already taken

Halithor · 8 days

I never put numbers at the end of my names, Halithor isn't my usual name for accounts but my usual (D3moralizer.... I said end not part way through) was taken.

I'm so sure that it's my account though as it's not a common name but meh :(

After looking through this thread it looks like I got lucky with my reddit username

bewildplum · 8 days

This is the only reason I still have my hotmail account.

ALLNAMESRTAKIN · 8 days

reddit = *my username

VentKazemaru · 8 days

No one has my name. Nor they ever will.

adamrvoss · 8 days

I'm the original, because this is just my first, middle initial, and last name

Differently · 8 days

Twitter accounts are the worst for this. There are so many that haven't even tweeted. I registered my real name just so nobody else would get it.

Aruseus493 · 8 days

On Xbox Live, I created my account when it first came out. I am the ORIGINAL Whicker. I have met only two other whickers and they have flattered me with the love for my name. :-P

By the way, I chose the 493 intentionaly. I chose it after I couldn't get Aruseus years ago in another place. Now I dont even try for Aruseus.

Chelstj · 8 days

All hail the original one!

samsaBEAR · 8 days

I'm glad I thought of mine for when I made my GT, seeing numbers in GTs get's a bit of the old OCD flaring

JimJam707 · 8 days

My name is what it is because the numbers mean something. I don't care for the rest of the JimJam's

I have had an original Steam name for 8 years(login as well as community id). Pretty pleased with that. I haven't had the fortune of getting it for anything else though.

*it's a 3-character word.

mjayr27 · 8 days

My original is a lurker. I must dispose of him.

FlamingTK · 8 days

i never could name my character 'Link' :(

Ionlywanttoinsultyou · 8 days

My least favorite is when you take the time to come up with a super unique name which is guaranteed to be available, and then some cocksucker sees it and takes it on every other platform possible.

To the other "stabster" out there, FUCK YOU.

DerpHerpHerpDerp · 8 days

I just pick a weird name. I hate numbers in my username.

sebygul · 8 days

My name is Seby, and I was incredibly proud when I landed the Minecraft username "seby" (obviously without the quotation marks)

ridestp · 8 days

My roommate is "Lego" on Minecraft... he gets multiple password reset emails from Minecraft every single day.

Synchrotr0n · 8 days

I got my reddit name in the second try, but unfortunately it's not the same. I need the original "O" instead of a "0" in my name to be complete!

The worst part is that the guy made his reddit account only 2 months before me, and he barely posts anything. Damn lurker!! (http://www.reddit.com/user/Synchrotron)

Luckily this don't happen too often in games because I use some really underground names.

murrdy2 · 8 days

I've been using the same screen name for years, i was happy to have a six letter name that wasn't taken anywhere

then of course i come here and it's taken..hence the 2

No hotlinked or re-hosted comics (unless the author specifically allows it). Submit the page on the author's site containing the comic.

Fredderov · 8 days

I honestly don't get why people put numbers and stuff after their nicks.

Don't they have enough imagination to come up with something... Original ? Dramatic Effect

Ze_Invisible_Man · 8 days

I'm still waiting for the day I find the guy that made me choose Ze instead of The. I imagine it will escalate into a fight to the death.

PhoneRedditing · 8 days

I was surprised nobody took this name to be honest.

_Wolfos · 8 days

I used to do that, but nowadays I just pick a new original one. Super Beard Man!

sduff052 · 8 days

many moons ago I played guild wars. I remember creating my first character and I wanted to name him "covenant", Upon entering this name I was told it was unavailable. I later learned that the reason it was unavailable was because all names had to be a first and a surname. I was covenant II. . . and there never was an original covenant. . . I spent years looking for him. . . and he was never there. . . bastard

I was so shocked to find it wasn't taken.

Waltzinblack · 8 days

Never really experienced the problem people seem to have with finding available names, the ones I choose are always free - not once have I resorted to numbers.

enginedriver · 8 days

Once on some back woods Daoc server about 2 years in to launch I made a new character and put in "Matt" as the name. Amazingly it went through and I felt like a total nerd boss. Unfortunately it was on a shitty server I didn't play on and didn't know anyone so as far as I know Matt the level 20 or something kobold is still standing on the thidranki bridge awaiting Ragnarok.

Chet_Awesomelad · 8 days

Hey friend, just a heads up: Unfortunately, I'm downvoting and reporting your post because you totally broke this /r/gaming rule:

"No hotlinked or re-hosted comics (unless the author specifically allows it). Submit the page on the author's site containing the comic."

If, like some people, you didn't rehost the image yourself, feel free to check out Google's Search By Image function. You can usually find an image's actual source pretty quickly.

As welshkid13 mentioned in the comments, this comic's source is here.

Anyway, have fun, and spread the word about this largely-ignored rule so that comic artists can get the pageviews they deserve!

people with numbers in their usernames must be retarded
