  1. There is a movie called Slap Shot starring Paul Newman. There are 3 brothers that play as "goons" and call it "old time hockey". They basically commit every penalty in the book to the highest degree. TheHansonBrothers was taken so I chose the Goons part. Old time hockey. Like Eddie Shore

  3. I just hope it is like a Fallout 76 experience, without the fallout 76 (bitterness intended). I want to be able to venture out into the unforgiving wilderness at my own discretion and get lost for a couple of in-game days. all the while knowing that there are others just like me doing the same, what life was likely like then. If I want though, I can work my way back into a local town to sell the fruits of my labor. Basically, I don’t want to be hunted down and killed by some jerk who takes pleasure in ruining others experiences. I also do appreciate the social aspects of online, I just don’t want that to be everything you can do. I am hoping for some sort of way to go dark on the mini map, which would make encounters with other players feel memorable and organic.

  4. Skunk it is then. Glad we worked that out. I was almost scared I was going to lose sleep tonight.

  5. This is terrible but I have a younger cousin and his dad ignorantly bought GTA 4 for him. Didn't read the label or anything. He was 8 years old at the time mind you. He goes up to his mom a few days later asking "what is a condom" and she didn't know where it was coming from. I happened to be over there helping with some yard work and heard him giggling and found him get bj's from hookers. I don't know if he fully understood what was happening but he thought it was pretty funny. Now I hope there aren't other kids his age playing this kind of game but I am sure there is. 😐

  6. I would have preferred to see your name be "TlkDirtyToMe". A bit more visual poetry in that gem of a song. As for me, it all comes down to this: Captain Chaos, and every derivative thereof, was taken on PSN. I've always been "Captain Chaos," and was heartbroken I couldn't be for my gamertag. I tried other names for upwards of ten minutes. Finally, I remembered something my wife had recently said: We were driving home one night, and I had a large fountain drink of Coca-Cola. I took a sip and was surprised at how good it was. I told my wife she needed to try it because it was so good. The instant she took a sip, we drove into the most noxious cloud of skunk stink you've ever smelt. Honestly, it was putrid. My wife, mouth full of soda, reacted: "Eeehhwww! It tastes like cokey skunk!" So, I tried that on the PSN. It worked. (shocking) Now I have to deal with people calling me "Cokey," which I detest. . . . and I still wish I were Captain Chaos. 😔

  7. God, I miss the '80's. My kids know all the words to that one (and Here I Go Again by Whitesnake, and many MANY others) and I'm not the least bit sorry. Also: Time to bust out my Karate pajamas.

  8. Oh I can do yours, too, if you want: "I crafted my username in part (obviously) as a Sly nod to the structure of Apollo Creed, as a character in the Rocky series. Apollo has earned every accreditation he has through hard work and skill, but by the time we meet him in the Rocky series, his dedication has begun to slip somewhat. Where he should make short work of a street thug that he dragged up to a pedestal, he opts not to dedicate the proper time and energy to training, expecting his skill to carry him through the fight, and shifts his focus to putting on a show. Only narrowly defeating Rocky in their first fight, Apollo takes the lesson to heart when we see him again in Rocky II, and he fully devotes himself to proper training, determined to prove that Rocky's surprising challenge in the previous fight was a fluke. However, he forgets this lesson in time for Rocky IV and again leans on his skill and showmanship to the detriment of proper training and respect for his opponent. In making this mistake again, it proves to be fatal, and Apollo dies as a result of his arrogance (ancient spoiler alert). That portion of the name choice stands as a reminder to me not to take myself too seriously, to learn from my mistakes, and to ensure that I apply the proper attention to the things that need it. The 'Bro' part acknowledges that though I have worked hard to get where I am, I can't pretend that I don't at least benefit somewhat from the Bro culture I find myself in. This helps keep me humble and ensures that unlike Apollo, I don't overlook the value of my advantages, at the expense of hard work. Also beer is nice." And now the trite version of mine: I like hair metal and having fun. The first time I used "Nothin But A Good Time" as a username, it was two letters too long, so I chopped off the vowels in "Nothin" figuring that word would be the easiest to decipher without vowels. Occasionally hearing someone call me Nathan over a game microphone reminds me that I was wrong. My name is not Nathan...or anything close to it.

  9. Jesus. Now mine looks trite: I needed a fun name with "Bro" in it somewhere from an online gaming group I was part of. I had about six ideas, and this one was the best option. It also looks good framed against one of the funniest scenes from HIMYM: And for people who don't understand why that is so funny: Hopefully my end will be far less tragic than Apollo's.

  10. Mine is lifted from the refrain of a piece by a poetry collective formed in the waning years of the prior century which was comprised of Dall, Deville, Michaels, Rockett, Bombilla, and Carretero. The verses depict both the lament and joy of the working class man as he devotes the entirety of his days to grinding labor whilst he dreams of the release of celebration upon his work's end. While not explicit in the wording, one can draw the implication that the desired recreation achieved as a result of the intensity of his toil is only sweetened by the stark contrast between the dueling yet collaborative tasks. My choice to select from this composition reflects my own elation upon the arrival of the time where I can lay down my burdens and responsibilities, and can bask in the abandon of my choice of diversionistic pursuits. Additionally, I desired to illustrate my intent to focus on joviality and ribaldry, when employing the selected username, and shy away from more sobering points of focus. The choice to remove the vowels from the first word, both the O and the I, was my cheeky attempt to separate my use of the verse as a name from the British influences on the culture preceding and proceeding from the era from which it was derived, by having the chant of "oi" excised from the conversation. Though I can appreciate the value of and enjoy those Anglo-centric artists, I chose to celebrate the distinctly American brashness that accompanied the artists at that time.

  11. As for the OP... I don't know. I feel like I would be better off going online with at least one friend just because of trolls and what not.
