what does your user name mean?

[RuffMonk]

Well my name comes from two seperate sources! Basically, I'm an avid fan of the OLD 1980's kung-fu movies from back in the day, in particular anything having to do with the monks of the Shaolin temple. This love followed me to my college football days to the point where I would do funny kung-fu poises when I made good plays. One day, one of my friends called me the Rough Monk after I made a vicious hit on an opposing running back and I liked it so much I decided to use it as my handle for just about anything I did online. So with a minor word alteration the RuffMonk was born! Not surprisingly, the name is never taken when I sign up for various online accounts, lmao!!!

[Mage_016]

My id is variant of my nickname Make which i've been called almost 30 years now. My friends in trade school turned Make to DaMage. I shortened it for PSN id, so that it would be easier to pronounce in finnish and it does not attract all kinds of fanatics to think that i'm a role play wizard(geez). And that 016 part is simply area code for Lapland.

[hurricane]

when I upgraded my arcade 360 with a hard drive,3 month live membership and headset,I was really anxious to start playing.I work for a small electrical contracting co. and my boss had a white board with the workers name and what job he was doing.I have a comercial drivers lisence and was the primary guy that operated the large airial lift we call bucket trucks.when I bitched about doing a job an hour away from home using the excuse that i needed to be closer to home to be availablefor bucket work he wiped off the name of the job and put bucketman under my name.I added a nickname roc at the end to get it.my 11 year old son thought it was pretty lame but I thought using his suggestion physco killer might have given a wrong first impression. I use hurricane here because its the first thing one should think of when playing IL2.

[99th_Obsidian]

My avatar is a picture of my uncle from his 1945 Tuskegee graduation class. While he never saw action I've been inspired to fly WWII sims ever since I learned he was a Tuskegee Airmen. One of the first Airmen squads was the 99th.

I studied geology @ U of Washington in Seattle. Obsidian is a volcanic rock that can form when basaltic lava is erupted into the air. It cools so quickly it takes on a glass like form. Early man discovered that it could be chipped and formed to make very sharp spear and arrow heads.

So 99th in homage to my late uncle and my online squadron and Obsidian, the deadly black arrowhead.

[Burtonboy05]

I'm an Australian of Croatian decent. My grandpa escaped the post WWII communist Yugoslavia regime on a fishing vessel through to Italy with around 30 others all of who eventually settled in Australia in the mid 50’s. Another boat was intercepted containing family and friends who were never heard from again all presumed executed. So my existence (and that of my father) is rather lucky as is the case with many of us no doubt. My surname (Mislov) is pretty uncommon globally as far as I can tell, anyway Aussies being Aussies they always shorten ones name and add a's, e's, or o’s for a nick name. I've always been Miz, Mizza, and very occasionally Mizwa. (Mizwa being my 360 gamer tag). Interestingly playing against Americans in online shooters they often think it’s of a Muslim decent and I’ve been called a terrorist on a number of occasions in a lobby lol. However a quick f*ck you mate in a heavy Aussie accent soon sets them strait. Pretty sad really but such is the plight of the unintelligent.

Outside of video games I have a passion for most board riding sports (surfing, skating, wake boarding etc) however it’s snowboarding that is the biggest of all my passions (outside of wife and young children of course lol) and my dream past time. I only ride and wear Burton equipment and my mates quickly picked up on it and started taking the pi$$. While having a refreshing brew post a hard days riding one of them commented here comes Burtonboy with the beers or is your round Burtonboy and it's kind of stuck mainly on snow trips or when hanging with that group of freinds. That too is usually followed with a quick F* you also, but all in good fun! So I use that one also in this forum at least and 5 is my lucky number.
