Your John's Arcade forum username

[Jack Burton]

Hello fellow arcade enthusiasts,

I thought it would be fun to know the meaning behind some of our names. So I'll start. I picked the name "Ace" because it's what I pick for my initials on the high score screen. It's the easiest and quickest thing to pick (A-C-E) which appeals to me. Plus I think it's kinda cool. 949 because it's my local area code here in Orange County, CA. John, care to chime in? I think you addressed the "Black Dog" in one of your vids, but that information escapes me. Anyone else, I'd love to hear the meaning behind your names too.

Cheers

Ace

[Shipwreck]

Back in the original days of the game Half-Life, I was in a clan in which every member was a character from G.I. Joe. I always like Shipwreck from the cartoon show because he was a little bit of a smart ass. Even though it has been many years since I was in that clan, I still use the name when I play games especially multiplayer games. I also tend to use it for gaming related forums and such.

LOL. I was thinking you may say that ;)

Sweet. That's pretty cool. I don't remember Shipwreck, but loved GI Joe

Mine is a short version of my first name (Damian-Da <pronounced Day>), short version of my last name (Cordero-Cord) and my birthday (4/21) in the name.

my parents gave me this terribly common name.

My old man says my grandpa told him we were originally the prathers.   Story he told was a great great grandpa of his shot someone in the old west and ran from the law changing his name to Butler to stay one step ahead of the pinkertons.

That's cool bro. I have a friend with the last name of Butler. She's cool. It's her maiden name too, so additional street cred for you

[Guss]

Guss...

My parents said when my brother and I were very little; my brother, when he said Scott it would come out as 'Gus'.
So I went with that as a screen name for a 'family friendly', public/event appropriate name in some games and forums. 

Two S's for 'a double dose of pimping'!
(Actually it's because is usually taken...)

[Mr_Rampage]

mr_rampage is an alias not my normal screen name. Why mr_rampage though? Simply because i felt like picking an arcade kind of name for an arcade forum.

When I started in the education field the kids couldn't remember my name (It's not hard...it's pretty generic). Some of the stoners students were struggling one class during first period so they called me Mr. Dude. The name stuck the entire year and then some and that's how I was known to many other students and even some of the other teachers. I thought it was very endearing of them.
