I'd just bought a 360 and was looking for a new Live gamertag as my old one had been locked due to lack of use or something. We have some pretty aggressive seagulls here in Edinburgh and a friend of mine had described them as "militant". Militant Seagull was one character too long though for Live so I changed it to Militant Camel as they've always seemed grumpy. Then later I changed it to Mr. Camel for no real reason. |

I was like 12 or something when I came up with that name, I had seen a lot of Robot Wars lately and was inspired by it. So I started Warcraft 3 and entered the name Sir Killalot, but it was of course taken. So then I changed to Leifalot becuase I thought that Leif was a funky name and it worked. The End. |

So I changed to a Sentry Gun! Because it was fun to confuse people: a Sentry Gun is sapping mah Sentry Gun! and so on with endless possibilities. Also, when I was playing heavy, i felt I was a portable sentry gun ;D Lucky Number 13 - because the Lucky represents my luck, and Number 13 represents my misfortune. I have absolutely no skill, it's all completely lucky and unlucky situations. Though people still feel the need to say "not so lucky now! hahaha!" ): |

well my name started as Homeboy long time ago, then as everyone called me homey it changed to that (and because of the Homoboy jokes). I'm a huge fan of the Simpsons and Homer is my favorite character because I can be exactly as clumsy as he is so I changed it to homer (very original) and finally just added uber to be different than the million other homers out there  |

I just realized my old nick (WeirdVic) was pretty lame so I changed it to Hungover (because I get the worst hangovers) and Engie (because wrenching heavies gives me the best rushes and I don't suck so much when playing Engineer). I didn't do anything cool with the name like some kids do. |

ehm.. I took my first name "Handlarn" becase I like a person in a sketch that was a Shopkeeper (in swedish = Handlare, Handlarn). But I never like it so when Cake called me "Handy" in a tf2 round, I simply took that name  |

Well it's a really long story with my name and not very interesting so heres the short version. Use to be called Red Fox(comes from Gray fox Metal gear solid) for like 10 years online. But it wasn't orginal, i'd always go on servers and usally bump into another Red fox so made something up that noone else would have. Slim The Chameleon It sounds good to me and flows off the tongue rather well.  |

Been playing games online for about 9 years or so now, first nick I chose was 'D-Fens' which is the name of the main character from the film Falling Down People used to just call me 'Fens' or 'Fensy' for short on servers so it stuck. |

Ha ha ha, that's so appropriate for when you rage on the server Fens I hope no one leaves a sports bag full of machine guns near you when you play |

Ramini - The characters real name is 'Bill Foster', but 'D-Fens' is the name which is used to describe the character that he becomes when he snaps. Haha as soon as I posted I thought 'I bet Spaceboy now posts something about me raging'  Jeez I may have a moan sometimes but nothing near the scale of a Naughtyme outburst or some others I could mention |

Ha ha ha awwwwwwww I'm predictable :'( I can't take Naughty's raging seriously, it's too overblown to be credible, like a well loved comedy character You on the other hand I sometimes fear will have a coronary Not that I'm any different myself, push-to-talk draws a veil over my furious rageaholism! |

I think I called you a bastard last night - but you were...that fucking sentry in our last point of Steel was fucking ridiculous...and our team just looked at it and then committed some form of hari kari ritual of jumping into it's view. There are times when I find the server over-populated by people that seem to never have picked up a mouse in their lives, let alone play an online game. It's a wonder the idiots managed to launch the game in the first place. You see to their faces I am polite, but inside I am wanting to shout "fucking shoot the cunt, shoot them, NOT ME, I am not a spy, you see that fucking ! above my head, that means I am on YOUR side, because this is my voice!! No that Soldier is not a Spy either, he's firing rockets...shoot that dodgy loking fucker that's the opposite colour to us who thinks he's still disguised - but is in fact a worse spy than me! Arghhhhhhhhhhhh!" What you get instead is a simple "wanker"....you see! Now give us a cuddle, because I have now expunged my rage from last night... click->  <-clickJoin me in Tribes 2: [url]https://account.hirezstu |

Arghhhhhhhhhhhh! A man after my own heart -I hear you and I feel your pain! Let us rage together against the stupidity of others brother! Or at least in a couple of weeks anyways, off on holiday to the States tomorrow |

Yeah it's weird that isn't it... in previous games (such as CS) it would always be the opposition that was the target of my rage...whereas in TF2 it is almost exclusively the actions (or inaction) of my own team that make me crazy mad XD |
