Oh, you actually look at the keyboard while typing? >_>

Uh, no...

Chits are written in all caps. If I type up a chit on the ship's computer I should probably make sure the caps-lock key is off after writing it up when using the same computer to post on the forums.

I rarely look at either screen or keyboard when I type.

I look at the keyboard right before I start to make sure my hands are in the right spot then after that I look between my monitors. I check the box I'm typing in to make sure I don't have any noticeable typing mistakes as I go so I guess that would be my main focus. Other then that I really only need to get the right hand buttons down so I can type with less typos. (I got my left hand buttons down from gaming lol.)

You're damn right. Gaming trains the left hand to perfection

, but only the left hand

.

I apologize for remaining off topic.

Well my user name way back in the day was just Wolf...try and get that name anymore...anywhere.
So, I changed to Tkai wolf...which means Dark wolf...it was different...then someone stole that name...
about the same time I started naming all my characters in whatever game I was playing <insert name here> wolf
So for this name, I just picked one of my favorite MMO characters and used that toons name as my nick here.

mushwars · « **Reply #205 on:** September 25, 2009, 07:25:42 PM »

I played an MMORPG called stargatewars.
Needless to say it was a war MMORPG

In the game you would "mass" people.
I would always say I am going to mush you.
I then found out about chat and called myself mushwars.

Enzedder · « **Reply #206 on:** September 26, 2009, 09:19:39 AM »

Picked up idea from a friend on another board.

Born in New Zealand. New Zealander. NZer. Spell it how it sounds and you get En-Zed-er. Added extra d cause 1 d looks silly, Enzeder. And if I feel bored I sometimes capitalize the Z, EnZedder.

So there you have it. Enzedder. Most people can't be bothered and just call me Kiwi though.

darkjedi · « **Reply #207 on:** September 26, 2009, 09:27:13 AM »

I'd call you Enzer.

Klocknov · « **Reply #208 on:** September 26, 2009, 09:29:48 AM »

Parano was one of my early programming/internet aliases and just came from a t-shirt I had with the word "Parafineco"
As this alias was already taken here I used the "alternative" spelling

I only use it for sites which I don't want to be associated IRL with as my normal alias (TwEeD) that i'm using for 14 years now is both my Dj-name and my nickname IRL (only my family and the state call me by my real name, most people I know don't know what my real name is)

Because tweed is such an unusual word that to search for it would only ever bring you up.

TwEeD · « **Reply #211 on:** September 29, 2009, 03:19:34 PM »

true .. it's a habit I developped before I knew there was actually a meaning to the word, it's foolish I know but habits don't die that easily

Arc-sama · « **Reply #212 on:** October 02, 2009, 02:13:24 AM »

It comes from my love of the group Duran Duran. Arc is taken from Arcadia and Rat is the initials of the drummer Roger Andrew Taylor. No he was not my favorite member but his initials made more sense. The Da was just added in for more of a local flavor, I am born & raise in Hawaii.

I'm also a big Harlock fan and his ship is called Arcadia.

Viseroid · « **Reply #213 on:** October 03, 2009, 07:41:42 PM »

Viseroid is a misspelling of "Visceroid," a goey mutant thingy found in Tiberium fields in the Command & Conquer game series.

Disgusting :)

Xtras · « **Reply #214 on:** October 03, 2009, 08:08:34 PM »

Age 7:
Originally when I would only get the chance to play video games at friend's houses, and only when they had uneven teams cause I would suck and never really do anything except give other people points. I figured I was kinda like extras in movies, whose only purpose is to take up space but aren't really part of the plot. Since at the time everyone had a X emphasized in their name, I figured I would get rid of the first letter and thus I would be: xtras.

Now that I no longer suck at video games I use a different name.

But for anime purposes I am : Xtras (cause I do nothing for the anime industry that they wouldn't frown upon lol)

Takeshi · « **Reply #215 on:** October 03, 2009, 08:21:36 PM »

I think it started when I was around 16. I had started to watch foreign movies and in one of these movies there was an actor called Takeshi Kaneshiro. I liked him, he was cool and was especially funny in "The Returner". It also helped that he voiced Samanosuke Akechi in The Onimusha Games which btw were totally awesome (still hoping a live action movie will happen).

Anyway, I started to go by Takeshi_K since Takeshi_Kaneshiro was too long, and Takeshi was most of the time taken. Takeshi_K sounded cool and sleek. Most of the time when I saw that Takeshi had been taken I checked out the forum members. I remember getting kind if pissed whenever I saw that those who had registered under Takeshi at the different forums weren't active at all! How uncool, at least use your damn account when you take my nickname! I've had a few others, though Takeshi_K is the one I used the most.

I like the fact that I was able to get Takeshi on BakaBT because this place is quite big.

Rebs · « **Reply #216 on:** October 03, 2009, 09:29:34 PM »

Heeeyyy. That "Takeshi Kaneshiro" also played in "Warlords". Hell Yeah

@ Xtras: Cool story, especially that "cause I do nothing for the anime industry that they wouldn't frown upon lol" part. Hehe, I can relate.

Anonymity is just a juvenile excuse to be a dick without getting caught. Not to mention, that by simply adding the n you are relinquishing your precious anonymity.

Actually the "n" was added to avoid people thinking that I want anonymity.

I wish I could get a name change.. >_> For some reason the nicks I use for anime/manga/gaming are all different. And the anime (Annonymous) one is getting boring.
